Scarlet's Pov~~~
Alexander was standing there looking at us. Our eyes met and I could see through his eyes that he is indeed hurt. I could feel it from here and my heart is pounding inside me.
"Will you be my girlfriend?
I promise to keep you always happy princess." Max stood up now and once again said adoringly holding my hands together.
I am feeling those weird sensations inside me and it is caused by only one person, Alexander Pearce. Why do I feel it? Because I am falling in love with him and I want to be loved by him and only him.
I don't want to push away those feelings neither want to deny it. Yes I am attracted to my boss.
Max is a great guy but I am not his princess and he is not my prince. So I did what I should do. I looked into Max's eyes and said,
"Max, you're a great guy, very considerate, successful in your work and one of the most damn handsome man I have ever met here in Italy. But,
I am sorry I don't feel the same way as you feel for me. I consider you as my best friend whom I would like to cherish my whole life as a friend. One day you will find your princess and that day will be soon buddy."
"Oh okay. No problem. I just... umm... would you mind if I ask you something?" He was not at all angry. Like an understanding person he is, he just asked me calmly and I nodded him in response.
"It's him, isn't it? Well, you like him. That's the reason why you're not reciprocating towards my feelings. Hmm..."
"Yes" I blushed.
Leaning towards me he whispered into my ears by asking,
"And he is standing behind me right?"
"Yes." I replied him back and I could see that Alexander is in a much tensed state.
Max kissed my left cheek and mumbled a goodnight. He then turned towards Alexander and acknowledged him with a handshake and left us alone.
Now it's my turn to let my prince know my answer to his proposal.
I couldn't stop myself from falling in love with this man who is standing in front of me, there is an eerie silence between us and I walked towards him and stood right in front of him.
His mesmerizing green eyes held a lot of questions and as I said before he is tensed. But he is keeping his calm which I never expected from him.
