23. Married to a Kenwood

"Honey, do they make you feel uncomfortable?" Bryan asked curiously.

Not really, I am just asking that is all."Alexa replied.

Bryan noticed that she was feeling shy alright, so he looked at the housekeepers and then beckoned Beatrice, she understood Mr Bryan, she knew he wanted her to tell some of the waitresses to please leave the dinning room.

Three waitresses left and Alexa was watching them to her surprise and wandered why they left, feeling it was because of her question.

"Feeling better Honey?" Bryan asked his new bride.

"I am sorry if because of me you had to send them away. I am sorry." Alexa apologized.

"It is fine, please continue your meal." Bryan replied as he continued eating.

She felt a little bit better but seem to still be feeling anxious because she was having meal with her so called new husband her boss.

As they ate, Bryan's phone rang out. He dropped his fork, took a sip from the glass if juice close to him and then answered the call.

"OK Fred, take them to the conference room and I will be there shortly." Bryan said to Fred.

Alexa looked at him. Surely it was from work and she knew he had a meeting.

He drank some more juice and then cleaned his mouth with the pure white napkin laid on his lap as he stood up.

"I have to go now Honey. Work calls and I will see you later OK?" Bryan said.

Alexa lifted her head, seriously wanting to ask him how she could come to work, she actually felt they will go together but well it is for the best so her colleagues would not see them come together.

He slowly leaned close to her after he stood up, held the top of her chair. She could feel him coming close to her. She lifted up her head and to her surprised he laid a kiss on her lips as the housekeepers around saw them and smiled to one another.

"See you later Honey." Bryan said.

"Yeah, later." She anxiously forced a smile out of her face. They both had that fake smile on pacifying their inner nervousness.

Bryan finally left, and Alexa finished her meal and thanked Beatrice for it and left to the room where she hurriedly brushed her teeth and showered, changed to her work clothes and left the house.

As soon as she came out, she met a man who introduced himself as her driver. He was instructed by Bryan to take her to work and wherever she also wanted to go.

She was shocked, she was not really expecting it but she really had to get used to the fact that now she had a driver and she was married to a Kenwood.

"Sir I would be fine getting a cab please, you do not need to worry." Alexa said to the man.

"Your husband insists ma'am." He replied opening the door to Mercedes Benz which actually looked completely different from any Benz car she had seen in her life.

Alexa took a deep breath and entered, he closed the door and they drove straight to the office.

On getting close to the office, Alexa pleaded with the driver to stop her at a block from the office building, he nodded and parked at the block before the office so she could get down.

"I am grateful for the ride." Alexa thanked the man.

"My pleasure ma'am." he replied.

She slowly watched out if she knew anyone around that might recognize her, as soon as she noticed there was no one she got out of the car and headed for the building, got into the elevator and stooped on her office flow and went straight to her desk.

Arriving at her desk, on her computer she saw some office errands she had to do immediately she arrived so Alexa got up and started working.

While she hurried around the department, she did not even bother yet to check on her colleagues who were close to her, she just worked as if there was nothing on her mind apart from work.

"Hey there young lady, I did not see you arrive." Said Shawn.

Shawn was her close pal at work right next to her cubicle.

"Oh Shawn I am sorry I did not see you, I just got in not quite long and wanted to start on some works quickly and report to the Head of department before I got started." Alexa replied.

"We are Friends even though we are not too close but at least you got us worried, one afternoon we just heard from the boss that you had an errand outside the office you had to quickly attend to and two days layer you show up here." Shawn said.

"Are you alright cutie pie." He continued to ask making sure Alexa was fine.

"I am fine Shawn, but I have to hurry in now we will talk later OK." Alexa assured him.

He finally left her and she went in to see her head of department.

"Good morning Sir." Alexa greeted her direct boss.

"Oh good morning Alexa." he replied.

"I am deeply sorry I came late, I saw the note you clued to my computer, I will get on it right away and make sure you get it before lunch." Alexa said.

"Before that I just want to ask, how is your mother, hope she is better now?" he asked.

"Yes sir she is improving. Thanks you for asking." Said Alexa.

"I am glad to hear that, well I accept your apology and please get back to work and make up for lost times." he continued.

"Yes sir please excuse me." Alexa said as she opened the door.

"Alexa?" he called her.

"Yes Sir?" Alexa replied him.

"Please the work should be handed over to me before lunch OK?" he ordered.

"Yes sir before lunch." Alexa nodded as she replied as she shut the door behind her.
