Isabella woke to the sound of her alarm.
Another day of work, she thought as she got up.
She dressed carefully, choosing an elegant but comfortable outfit, and checked her hair in the mirror.
"Today is just another normal day... or not," she muttered to herself, remembering Alexander's flirtation from the other day.
When she arrived at the company, the revolving door spun smoothly, and Alexander was already in the reception area, checking his watch.
"You're finally here," he said, his voice firm but with a touch of humor. "A problem has arisen that only you can solve."
Isabella raised an eyebrow, trying to hide her satisfaction.
"Oh, and what would have become of you if you hadn't hired me?" she replied with a teasing smile.
Alexander let out a short, elegant laugh.
"We'd probably be in complete disarray." He gestured toward the meeting room. "Shall we go?"
As Isabella analyzed the problem, adjusting reports and checking data, Alexander stood beside her, watching silently.
With each question she answered, he seemed even more impressed.
"You really know what you're doing," he commented casually, as if it were just a conversation.
"Well, that's why they hired me, isn't it?" Isabella replied, smiling, unaware of how his proximity made her heart race.
Amidst papers, spreadsheets, and small comments, the conversation flowed naturally.
Alexander teased her lightly, and she countered with humor; the chemistry was palpable but discreet, keeping the romantic tension in the air.
When the problem was finally resolved, Alexander pushed away from the table and approached, looking her directly in the eyes.
"Isabella... how about we continue this conversation outside of here?" he said, with that firm, elegant tone only he knew how to use.
"Maybe some coffee... or something else?"
Isabella felt her heart beat faster, the words catching in her throat.
She wanted to say yes, but something kept her from answering immediately.
Alexander smiled, letting the doubt hang in the air.
And with that, the day ended with a silent question:
"What will Isabella answer?"
