Alexander looked around in confusion, "Marcus, why are we parked here?" He asked.

Marcus turned to his boss calmly, "Sir, I assumed you might want to meet with Miss Thompson. I read somewhere that ladies like unplanned dates."

Alexander raised a brow, "I didn't instruct you to take a detour."

"I just thought you might want her company." Marcus had hoped that Ella's company would help Alexander's mood. From the call with Henry, he can imagine how bad his boss's night would be.

Alexander shut his eyes, "Drive." He ordered, "and this should never repeat itself again. Do you understand?" Alexander added in a low intimidating voice.

"Yes sir." Marcus started the vehicle. He wished he had Ella's number, he could have called her to come downstairs himself. Henry has a habit of saying things that will hit Alexander where it hurts the most.
