The atmosphere dropped when Avery left the office, Charles sat there nonchalantly, truth be told he lived the drama which was displayed in front of him, and a smirk formed on his lip.
" What did you both discuss?" Alex asked
" What?" Charles asked
Alex repeated himself; Charles gave him a sinister smile before saying
" Alexander Gibson, what I discuss with my patient's family members is none of your business and didn't you hear her she said don't involve yourself. I know she is the girl, the girl you like. You think I'm stupid not to know you? Charles laughed
His laugher was pissing the hell out of Alex and he knew that he was going to taunt Alex with this.
"From childhood, we've seen each other's dicks, so please don't act all mighty. Funny enough, I also like her and there is nothing you can do about that. She truly trusts me and that's to my advantage, you know why? Because I'm helping her take care of her mother, not you. She prefers my help, not yours, very soon I'll gain her trust, her heart, her mind and her body. I am going to make sure I marry her and we will have our own little family together and also grow old."
Alex glared at him
" We w-"
A punch landed on Charles' face
" How dare you!" Alex growled
Charles felt a metabolic taste in his mouth, he smiled licking the blood from his lip
" Deal with it, lover boy, you like her, but she doesn't. Take a look at yourself, you're a playboy, cold-hearted and aloof. Which girl would like you, if not Veronica who else? Listen, Alex, she would never like you. If you've forgotten she hates Mafias, you are nothing but trash in front of her. I'm special to her, you know why because someone special to her is in my hospital. " Charles said, he turned to leave the office but Alex beat him to that.
Alex threw a punch at him and Charles did the same. Having enough of him Charles got out of the office with bruises all over his face.
Alex lost all his senses and threw everything from his table away. Not having enough, he made a call;
" I want every information about Avery, from her childhood to the present state and also about her family including her mom!"
Done with the call, he moved to his mini bar in his office and gulped the whole bottle of whiskey.
After hours of working, it was time to go home, flashes of the incident in the morning flashed across her face, and she got up, she had to tell her boss she was going home, so she walked towards Alex's office, getting to the door, she found it ajar, without knocking she entered the office, she was welcomed by a drunk boss with bottles of alcohols. She rushed towards him, she scoffed when she smelled alcohol from him.
" Alex, Alexander, wake up, "
Alex groaned ;
" I want to be alone."
" Alex, you asshole, wake up, it's time to go home and I wanna go home. I can't believe I came to check in on my boss only to find out he was drunk."
Alex opened his eyes, he was mesmerized by Avery's beauty
" I don't wanna go home, she doesn't like me, we are always arguing"
Avery blushed when she heard what Alex said, was he referring to her? Her face darkened when she thought about Veronica and the girl Alex liked.
