Xander wasn't planning to attend the office the entire day. He knew that his wife wouldn't be at the office, and it was the best time for him to spend a little time on his affairs and to have fun. Besides, his secretary had been calling him and had been nagging for his time.
Now everything felt like an obligation for him. He didn't even wear formal office attire, and all he only wore was just simple soft jean short pants and a rugged-looking shirt. Since it was his own family business, he could wear what he wanted to while attending the office unless they were having meetings with other people in business sectors. Besides, he got a wardrobe in the office.
Xander and his wife had also set a little resting room at the office, with a wardrobe.
The garden was a place for a worker to chill out, but he thought Xander had made it specifically for some reason, as he knew that place would always be the best place to hide.
He built it since he had an affair with his secretary, and at that moment, they were about to meet there.
On the other hand, Lizeth's heartbeat still kept pumping hard under her chest. She was scared for both her friend and Nil. She didn't know if she had to wait for them to finish or she would just go back to the production area.
However, if she would, she still couldn't go on with her work knowing that her machine was broken. Lizeth needed to bring Nil with her. At the same time, she just simply couldn't wait for them to finish while she was outside the maintenance office as people might wonder if someone spotted her there.
She had to hide and go somewhere, and maybe just go back later enough time that they finished their little heaven trip. She looked around, and a little gated place just behind a two-story factory caught her attention.
Lizeth wondered what it was, the gate was just a simple wooden gate, painted with artistic colors, like a rainbow, and it amused her. She wondered if that place was open for workers if she actually had the right to be there.
Nevertheless, with her present situation, she would prefer to go somewhere than to be caught waiting outside the door of the maintenance office and get questioned, and that place seemed to be an excellent place to hide.
Lizeth had decided and immediately turned around the building and went to that place. She was surprised to see that the site was actually a garden, a mini garden and it looked so magical from the entrance. From there, she could see a stone pavement heading towards a small pavilion filled with crawling plants.
She could even barely see what was inside the pavilion from where she stood. The purple-colored Wisteria almost covered the entire gazebo, and it looked so amazing.
She mouthed 'whoa' as she slowly walked towards entering the garden. Her eyes focused not only on the beautiful gazebo but also on the beautiful ornamental plants around her.
Nonetheless, the pavilion wasn't the only one that looked amazing in that place, she noticed the sound of gushing water. It gave her a very calming ambiance, and the site was like a good escape from a very toxic and chaotic production area.
Lizeth smiled. She was happy that she had been able to discover that place, and by the look of it, seldom of her workmates had talked about the area. She was pretty sure that most of them were in their locker rooms, checking their phones since phones were not allowed to be brought to the production area.
She headed straight to where the gushing water sound came from and saw a little pond with little artificial falls. The pond was filled with colorful Koi fishes. Lizeth couldn't help but smile at the beautiful scenery, as it was always her weakness. She could even spend her entire day staring over a beautiful sight like this.
However, she also knew that she didn't have that, there would be little time left until it was time to work, and she had to check back on Nil, waiting for Petal to disappear and go to the production.
She tried to walk back when she noticed something moving inside the pavilion, it seemed someone was there, she wondered maybe it was the gardener. Lezith glanced over her wristwatch and smiled, knowing that she still had a few minutes left.
She would be happy to meet the person who had created this beautiful place and maybe give him a little compliment. That way, she can be friends with them, and then she could freely go and hang out in that place during break time.
She knew places like that could easily trigger her artistic side, and even if she had to stop studying as a designer, she still wanted to draw and design clothes in her free time.
Nevertheless, Lizeth and it wasn't only Lizeth was surprised to see the other person in the garden.
'I was a hunky daddy,' she beamed over the familiarity of the person. However, he was utterly looking so different from the first time she met him. She thought that he was a man with a deep pocket, but he was just in his short pants as of the moment. He looked so simple, yet he still was looking handsome as always.
He caught him picking dried leaves from the plants, which only meant one thing. He wasn't the rich man she thought he was, but he was a gardener.
"Hi sir, you are the gardener here, right?" Lizeth asked with a hint of innocence in her voice.
Xander almost burst out laughing, but he controlled himself. He knew the girl, remembered her, and how can he forget? She was just in his mind on the way to the office. Even he wondered what that girl was doing inside her company premises.
But seeing that she was wearing the company uniform, he could already determine that she was working in the production department. He also knew that she would know him in the long run, but as of the moment, knowing that her secretary might pop out any moment soon, he would rather have her believing that he was just a gardener.
"Yes, miss, I am the gardener here," he smiled as he replied.
"I just want to compliment your work here sir, this place is amazing." She was staring at him while saying that hiding her other thought, 'it's just as amazing as you look.' She didn't know what made her too happy at that moment, probably it was because she saw hunky daddy again, and knowing that they were working in the same place made her happy.
