Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Teasing

Alice's POV:

We parted ways and went back to our respective. I slumped down around my desk as soon as I exited the elevator earning a laugh from Mr Wilson.

"We did great today Miss Snow, the cooperation should go smoothly, Mr Adonis seemed fond of you."

"Yeah, his fondness seemed like intentional irritation" I groaned.

"You never know maybe something will spark?"

"Mr Wilson doesn't even go there, I would rather have meetings back to back all day just to avoid him."

"Ouch, he's not that bad."

"Okay maybe he just has a little bit of an upside but I don't want to become another one of his body counts, the number of women running after him"

"He's a good kid he just doesn't care to clear up misunderstandings if it doesn't affect Adonis Stocks"

"Are you shipping me with Mr Wilson, your seriously using the sale skills, pulling out all the cards?"

"Maybe, I am and I expect a wedding invite in the future as the match-maker"

"no match was made and I'll be marrying myself "

We laughed and Elevator dinged.

"Good Afternoon Sir, Miss Snow, We just got the contract from Adonis Group," Hailey from the project department said, grinning her face off.

"Relax your face Hailz and what's with the formalities." I laughed as she bounced on her feet.

"I shouldn't be the one smiling, I heard it all from the driver, Mr Adonis was making eyes at you as you left the restaurant, Spill"

"It was quite the sight, Hailz" Mr Wilson said doing the little hand thing girls do when they're about to drop the tea.

Yes, I'm not a complete loner, I have friends, Mr Wilson and Hailey, yes just two keep your circle small. Hailz and I were the only ones to come to join the company in our year and after working with Mr Wilson over the years if there wasn't any familiarity it would be strange.

"They were even flirting by the bathroom" Mr Wilson added.

"OMG, by the bathroom Ms Snow I never knew you were that kind of girl" Hailz gushed.

"We were talking after we exited the bathroom"

"So there was no talking before you went"

"No"

"Straight to the action Miss Snow"

"We both went into different bathrooms stop taking my words out of context."

"I wouldn't if you didn't give me the opportunity"

"You what, you go run your company and you get back to project planning" I separated THEM.

I ushered a laughing Mr Wilson to his office and a dying Hailz to the elevator as she held her stomach with tears in her eyes. I was fuming, pouting and red with not only anger but embarrassment.

Why is everyone teasing me today?

It's all his dumb fault.

I slumped into my chair furiously typing on my keyboard.

Theo's POV:

Achoo...

I sneezed in the middle of the meeting and everyone paused and looked my way.

"Are you okay, Mr Adonis?"

"Yes I'm fine, please continue"

He went on with his presentation.

"Are you coming down with a cold?" Lois asked.

"No, I feel fine"

"Great, I was just asking so I know whether to keep Kara away from you are not."

"What you can't take blue balls for a week."

"No it's my birthday next week and I have plans, plans I don't want to get ruined."

"Birthday Sex"

"Yep, I got the clown costume, I want her to wear and everything"

"You and clowns, I'd go with a sexy musician approach"

"Nah bruh I plan on tying her with the long chain of handkerchiefs."

"Ah to be in a relationship again"

"Soon brother you will know the joy, you got Alice and I did include a lot of info on her past exes, she's been singing longer than you, you might have a chance man you know cure her loneliness add some spice in her life."

"More than spice"

We both chuckled like middle school boys talking about their crushes under the slide.

" I leave for an on her you guys are cackling at meeting about a multi-billion dollar project, I expect this from Lois but Theo I'm disappointed."

Shit

Thea was back from her business trip to Dubai.

"We're laughing at how much benefit we'll gain from this project" I quickly said smiling.

She was shorter than me by five inches but she could still kick my ass.

"Hope you laugh the same way when you're pulling an all-nighter. The meeting will end her for today since our president is distracted"

Everyone grabbed their things and left the room.

"Good to see you sis" I hugged her

"Good to see you too little brother, I still see Lois is still a band influence."

"Oh come on, like you were working the entire business trip, I bet you and Olivia lived it up real nice in the hotel room"

She looked at him in shock.

"Yeah, I know I slept with the receptionist a few years back, I got eyes on you Thea Adonis"

"Sis, mixing work and pleasure and calling us slackers."

"Okay, we didn't have fun until after the deal was closed she was by herself at the resort most of the time and besides I have worked all year with no days off"

"An what were we doing playing all year?" Lois sid offended.

"You were busy chasing Kara and boy here was depressed over Bella."

"Seriously T"

"What? He said he was over it, I'm sure we can mention her now"

"Yeh it's fine and besides I got my eyes on Alice."

"Alice in wonderland," Lois said and we did a fist bump.

"Who's Alice?"

"Mr Wilson's secretary" Lois explained.

"Mr Wilson that we are collaborating for the new Resort with?"

"Yes"

"Come on Theo don't screw with business partners thought we went over the rule"

"I'm don't just want to screw her and when have I ever hand a one night stand with a business partner besides she's nice and we have common interests thought we bicker sometimes, she's cute"

"If she's that hot, she got you whining, I got to see her, did you do a background check, she seems potential sister in law material"

"She is gorgeous especially those almost yellow looking eyes and curly black hair."

"Oh, a niece with allow eyes would be cute the grey eyes of the Adonis is rather boring."

"The file is on his desk"

He and Thea ran to my office.

"Come on guys I haven't opened it yet" I chased after them.
