"You have been sighing since you got here. Did something happen on your vacation?" Liana's secretary asked.
Liana sat up pushing away the messy documents on her desk.
"Joy, I met this guy on my vacation and we seemed to have something special between us that we even shared a kiss" she explained.
Joy excited by the story took a seat, "Oh my, and then what happened?" she asked.
"And then when I tried to kiss him again, he left " Liana frowned, Xavier had disappeared before her lips could meet his.
"What? he left?" Joy shouted
Liana nodded making a sad face, "did I do something wrong without knowing, or just didn't like the way I kissed him?"
"That's impossible, maybe something is wrong with him " Joy suggested.
Liana couldn't tell her friend everything about Xavier so she just sulked.
"Do I know him, I do then I can help you analyze him" she said.
Liana motioned her friend to come closer and whispered Xavier's name in her ear.
'WHAT?...him? no wonder " Joy shouted.
Liana told her to calm down, "what do you mean," she asked.
"Xavier Gorkn is the prince of the architecture business and one of the most respected men in the country. His everyman's envy but the women adore him, but " Joy frowned
Liana sat up," But?" she urged her friend to continue
"No one has ever seen him get close to a woman. He doesn't have any dating rumors at all. Everyone thinks he must be gay " Joy whispered.
"NO, IMPOSSIBLE " Liana screamed.
Joy flinched, "That's what everybody says so I think that's why he didn't want to kiss you again. His not into you or any woman but men " Joy explained.
Liana fell back in her seat and rubbed her head, "How did it get to this, Xavier couldn't be gay. The way he cared for her felt special...or that was why he found it easy to do all those things with her " she cried telling Joy to leave for now.
Liana buried herself in work the whole day trying not to think about what her friend told her.
"Straight home, please," she told her driver.
She got home exhausted and depressed. Her brother had dropped some food for her. Liana took a shower and ate some, then continued to do her work on the laptop.
"It was just a kiss didn't he like it," she said getting up and moving to the cellar. "Maybe some wine will cheer me up " she muttered choosing a bottle.
Her phone rang, "Hello Joy " she picked up.
"I sent the rest of the documents to your email, the meeting is set for tomorrow afternoon ".she said.
" Alright, then tell my driver to pick me up towards noon," she said then hang up.
She finished her work while sipping on the wine. Rubbing her neck after it got stiff finally finished with her work she dragged her tired body to the bedroom.
She sighed, "my head hurts from all the alcohol and working so late. And all I can think of is you, why don't you appear "
"Why did you drink so much," Xavier's voice said beside her. Liana turned to see him standing next to him.
A smile broke on her face as she hugged him.
"You finally came " she mumbled.
"You know I can't refuse when you summon me," he said.
She looked up from his chest, "Can you hold me, I had a long day "
Xavier didn't hesitate and wrapped his arms around her.
"Are you gay?" Liana blurted out.
