“Alex…It’s okay that you want me to pose for you. You have an exhibition to worry about.”
“Don’t say like that. I feel like a prick to ask that when I see you like this.”
“Alex…you know why I accepted your job
offer?” I asked and continued when he shook his head.
“Because I promised myself to live my life. You saw Rosie. She told me once that I was losing pieces of my soul and I didn’t want that. I don’t want that. I will do everything in my power to find my sister but while doing that…I won’t put my life on hold. And you offered me a job so you can ask me whenever you need me to pose. Also, we talked about that, agreed that we’ll use it to distract me, right?”
Alex frowned while considering my words and he nodded a few seconds later.
“Okay…I’ll do my best to distract you from your problems.”
I smiled at him. He was so cute.
“You said something about eating. Did Xander prepare breakfast again?” I asked smiling. I tried to shake uneasy feeling inside me by being cheerful but it wasn’t working well.
“Nope. Stacey made toasts for us. That asshole is working in his study. I saw him for a minute or so,” he huffed.
“Is he always working this much?” I asked.
“You haven’t seen anything yet. Since you’ve been with us he’s started working less.”
“Less?” I repeated shocked and Alex nodded his head with obvious annoyance.
“What’s his company do?”
“A few things. There is a branch in international transporting, another branch is in publishing and also, there is a state magazine we publish monthly,” he explained.
“Do you do anything in the company?” I asked while we were walking in the hall.
“I used to take photos for magazines and book covers. But he has more photographers who are working for him so I mostly work for myself.”
“Hey, Stacey!” Alex called out before he stepped into the kitchen.
“Hey there, my boy!” Stacey greeted him. She was in her fifties, I guessed.
“Stacey, meet Dawn. She is our girlfriend.” Alex said and I coughed. Did he say “our”?
“Dawn? You okay, babe? Don’t worry, Stacey knows us well,” he winked at me.
“Alex, stop embarrassing the girl. Hi Dawn, nice to meet you.”
“Umm…hi. Glad to meet you as well.”
“Come on. Take a seat and start eating, sweetie. Pour her a glass of orange juice, Alex,” she clapped her hands.
“Is Xander still working?” she asked with a sad face.
“Yeah.” Alex answered.
“Did he eat anything?” I asked before I could stop myself.
Stacey turned to look at me. She frowned a little like trying to understand my question then smiled.
“Yes, sweet girl. He had his breakfast,” she answered me softly and for an unknown reason, I felt myself blushing.
During the breakfast, I learned Stacey was nanny of the twins. When they started the school, Stacey became a housekeeper for the Vincents because of the twins’ affection for her.
