Issabel, still stunned to speak, finally found her voice and drew Alex to a secluded corner. "Alex, what are you up to this time? How did you even know I work here?" she questioned, a mix of surprise and curiosity in her tone.
"Everyone will think there's something going on between us, and besides, you didn't even call me for more than four days now," Issabel expressed, a hint of playfulness in her words.
Alex, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, teased, "So that means you missed me, right?" His playful banter danced in the air, adding a lightness to the moment.
The tension of the unexpected encounter mingled with the familiarity of their connection, creating a dynamic interplay between them.

Amidst the bustling office environment, Alex's voice boomed, capturing everyone's attention. "Everyone!" he exclaimed, his tone filled with excitement and pride.
"This is my beloved fiancée, the love of my life!" As he gently loosened Issabel's grip on him, a wave of surprise washed over the onlookers, their eyes darting between each other in disbelief, questioning if they had heard correctly.
Issabel, sensing the bewildered gazes, met their stares with a serious expression, silently conveying that there was more to the story than met the eye.
Undeterred by the stunned silence, Alex continued with a mischievous glint in his eye,
"We had our pre-honeymoon in one of the most beautiful places." His gaze shifted to Issabel, a playful challenge in his eyes as he asked,
"Am I lying?" Issabel, feeling the weight of the curious and amused glances from her coworkers, wished she could disappear into the floor.
The mix of embarrassment and amusement danced across her face, creating a moment of vulnerability amidst the unexpected announcement.
As the office buzzed with whispered conversations and raised eyebrows, the dynamic between Alex and Issabel shifted, revealing layers of their relationship in a blend of humor and genuine affection.
In this whirlwind of emotions and revelations, the office scene unfolded with a blend of humor, surprise, and a touch of awkwardness.

As the office atmosphere crackled with intrigue and amusement, the unexpected turn of events set the stage for a series of interactions that would unravel both comical and heartfelt moments between Alex, Issabel, and their curious coworkers.
In the midst of the office drama, Greg, unable to contain his thoughts any longer, stepped forward towards Alex with a determined expression etched on his face.
"I know it's a joke, what you said now," Greg's voice was stern, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. "This is a workplace, not a place for childish antics. And besides I know Issabel doesn't have a boyfriend" His gaze met Alex's, despite the noticeable height difference, showing his resolve.
Alex, quick-witted as ever, recognized Greg as the person Sam had mentioned.
With a sly smile playing on his lips, Alex retorted, "Well, you just found out now that my Issa has a fiancée and not a boyfriend." The playful banter continued as Alex encouraged Greg to confirm with Issabel herself, a glint of mischief in his eyes.
Greg, feeling a mix of disappointment and realization, turned to Issabel, silently pleading for answers in his eyes. However, Issabel's avoidance spoke volumes, confirming what Greg feared deep down.
As the tension mounted and emotions ran high, Greg's heart sank as he realized the truth about Issabel's feelings. Alex's triumphant smile conveyed a sense of victory as he watched Greg process the situation.
With a heavy heart and a sense of defeat, Greg left the scene, the weight of unrequited emotions lingering in the air.
The complex dynamics between Alex, Issabel, and Greg unfolded in a moment that revealed unspoken truths and the bittersweet reality of unfulfilled desires.
As the tension from Greg's departure lingered in the air, Alex, in an attempt to lighten the mood and impress Issabel, made a clumsy move that led to sauce splattering on his shirt while he was trying to open the flask for issabel.
The room fell into a momentary silence, broken only by stifled laughter as everyone tried to contain their amusement at Alex's misfortune.
Despite the mishap, some of the ladies present couldn't help but be charmed by Alex's grace under pressure, earning him the endearing title of the "perfect husband" in their eyes.
Among the onlookers, Sarah, who had missed the earlier dramatic exchange, found herself nodding in approval as she witnessed the unfolding scene.
Her smile conveyed acceptance and support for the budding relationship between Alex and Issabel.
Meanwhile, Issabel, with a light-hearted laugh, joined in the humor as she assisted Alex in cleaning the sauce from his expensive shirt. The shared moment of laughter and camaraderie added a touch of warmth and authenticity to the evolving dynamics between the characters.
As the laughter subsided and the atmosphere lightened, the accidental sauce incident became a memorable moment that brought the group closer together.
