Love Unspoken

In the midst of his actions, Alexander halted, his gaze shifting upwards to meet Ruby's. She stood there, the picture of composure, her lips curved into a professional smile as though she were merely navigating through routine business affairs. "What's your opinion on this?" Alexander challenged her.

Ruby blinked, her response measured and calm. "Alexander, I was merely bringing potential issues to your attention. The final decision, of course, lies in your hands."

"Then you'll follow my instructions."

"Very well." Ruby gave a slight nod of acknowledgement. "I'll proceed with granting her an additional month's leave."

"You're dismissed."

Ruby turned on her heel to leave the room, but not before casting a final glance back at Alexander. His eyes were lowered, his attention once again absorbed by the document in his hands. Silently, she closed the door behind her. Not long after Ruby's departure, Kyle entered the room to update Alexander on the situation with Leon.

"Leon's embezzlement has been confirmed. He's returned a portion of the money and has been sentenced to seven years," he reported.

"Anything else?"

Kyle hesitated before adding, "There are rumors circulating around the office that Quinn was my recruit, and I..."

Kyle's intention was to give Alexander a heads-up, hoping to avoid any scandalous rumors that could potentially lead him down the same path as Leon.
