Alison smiled, "I am not annoyed, let's go get a cab." Paige nodded, strolling along with Alison looking for a cab, "I don't see any," Paige muttered. Just then a man held a board with a huge writing FORT and ARCH, who looked like a driver. He wore an all-black outfit, his hair a bit blond. He had a bright smile on his face as he approached them.

She felt anxious all of a sudden and her legs refused to move.He waved at you, go greet him. She tried but she was glued to the floor. He looked so handsome in his blue shirt and dark jacket. He had this blissful smile on his face.She felt embarrassed at her inability to move towards him.

It felt weird, with her heart racing against her ribcage pounding hard. He can't hear her heartbeat, right? He would begin to assume things."Leonardo!" She pressed again passing a pleading look to him, he wasn't budging he held her tighter and walked towards the edges of the pool's rim, a smirk gracing his features."Okay, I am sorry for lying to you and tricking you, seriously this... people might have the wrong impression that you and I...

Alison took a look at her new office and gleamed at Paige, who smiled in return. With her role in the Adriano project, she was given an office at the Branch HQ.

It was dark, and the night looked beautiful with the stars scattered around the sky, but it wasn't all that pretty for Leonardo, he took a glimpse at his wristwatch and waited some more, he was getting impatient. Using his time he scrolled through his phone and read his emails, he then heard the familiar footsteps of his assistant, Nathan. A blond guy with a timid personality. Noticing Leonardo stare, he hurried up his steps. Leonardo stood up from the leather seat in the lounge and walked away from the office, Nathan following behind trying to catch up with him. He strolled to the black car waiting just before the entrance and hurriedly entered avoiding the shots of the hungry press.

Leonardo, once again looked towards the direction Alison excused herself to, what was taking her long?His legs itched to walk towards the corner she hid herself pretending to answer a call.He tried to concentrate in the environment he found himself in. Currently, he is at his restaurant, all empty not one person to be seen. When he talked about office, most people often mistook him talked about a native office with a brown desk and different coloured files packed to the side, with a computer at the middle of the desk, different colours of pen strewn on the desk in an air-conditioned office.He would often try to change such a mentality when it comes to his case to him an office was a place, where he had different recipes from his mother cookbook, to the left was a huge cabinet housing his spices. His office probably took twice the space of a normal office, a stove, a kitchen grill beside it and on the walls were little pots and pans hanging. Just one little clatter can send echoes o
