Love Unspoken

Before Wayne's hand could make contact, Alexander intercepted it mid-air. Wayne's glare was a potent mix of fury and disbelief. "Are you revolting against me?" he demanded, his voice barely above a whisper.

A smirk tugged at the corners of Alexander's mouth as he responded with a calm that belied the tension in the room. "We are discussing work. Let's keep it professional and leave paternal tactics out of it," he said. He paused before adding, "I am not just the CEO of Lund Enterprises but also a shareholder. We are equals here. It's not quite appropriate for you to get physical."

Wayne, livid, spat out a curt response, "Fine, fine, fine!" He shook off Alexander's grip, his anger barely contained. "You want to talk work, then let's talk work!"

His voice took on a harsher tone as he continued, "You've caused such trouble for Lund Enterprises on your watch, and you think you can just walk away? I'm telling you, no way!" He pointed a finger at Alexander, "You want to resign? First, you fix the mess and get the company back on track. Then you can resign!"

Alexander merely raised an eyebrow, a chuckle escaping his lips. "Alright," he agreed, his nonchalance only serving to further irritate Wayne.

"Get out!" Wayne barked. Alexander, with a slight bow, turned and left the room. His actions were infuriatingly calm, his respect almost taunting in the face of the urgency that the situation warranted.

Once Alexander had left, Wayne began to pace the room, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. He couldn't understand why Alexander's calm demeanor aggravated him so much. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

The call connected quickly. Silence came from the other end, and with a drop in his demeanor and a complex look on his face, Wayne finally spoke, "What's up?"
