All of your co-workers had made a bet that you could get your cold, grumpy boss to finally lighten up. You had no idea about this bet but you and your boss were getting closer. "So, where are we going for lunch today?" You ask as he smiles down at you. "Well where do you want to go?" He asks as you smile back. "Maybe we.could go to the new cafe down the street?" You suggest while standing up, his hands immediately resting on your hips. "That sounds amazing" he replies. You're about to leave for the new cafe when some of your coworkers walk up to you.
"Where's my money? I won the bet" one of them says. "Fuck, she actually did it" another adds. Your eyebrows furrow in confusion but Alex doesn't seem to notice. His face was stone cold as he looked down at you. "You made a bet about me?" He asks, his voice deep and cold. "What? No I have no idea what they're talking about!" You immediately argue. He let's out a deep grunt, his eyes never leaving yours. "Everybody get back to work, now" he commands and everyone obeys, everyone but you. "Sir, I swear." he just walks off, not letting you explain.
