#153 “I’m Here to Spice Things up!”

Alexander arrived at Sophia’s office half an hour before their scheduled dinner, a vibrant bouquet of flowers in hand.

“You came early,” laughed Sophia as soon as he appeared at her door.

“I was going to come even earlier, but Laura reminded me that I have work,” Alexander replied playfully.

Sophia dropped the papers on her desk and eagerly went to greet him with a kiss. The moment their lips met, she couldn’t help but let out a small moan.

“Careful, Johnson. If you keep going like this, we might not make it to the restaurant.”

“Unfortunately, I’m so hungry we’ll have to go.”

“Come on.”

Alexander gently wrapped his arm around her waist, and together, they made their way to the exit.

Upon arriving at the restaurant and placing their orders, Alexander’s gaze lingered on Sophia for a prolonged moment.

“What?” she asked, laughing.

“You know,” he said with a smirk, “I can’t believe how lucky I am to be here with someone as beautiful as you.”

Sophia blushed, her laughter bubbling up. “Smooth talker! You’ve been watching too many romantic movies.”
