Chapter Nineteen

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.
