"I don't see why you have to work as a detective. I know you love mysteries but you're putting your life on the line!" The woman spoke with worry clear on her face but Alexandra never lifted her eyes from the book in front of her, even when she put a fork full of cake into her mouth. Alex has known the woman, Jenna, for a few years.
"Stop complaining Jenna, you've known I was going to do this for a long time," Alexandra huffed with a role of her baby blue eyes, not hesitating to put another fork of cake into her mouth. The sweet warmth of the freshly baked cake melted on her tongue. For work today Alexandra decided on a casual yet professional. A while cotton shirt that hugged her torso nicely, a navy blue blazer, gold diamondless rings on her right hand as well as a real large golden bracelet. The dark blue pencil skirt was actually comfortable to wear as it stopped a few inches above her knees, black open toed heels giving her 4 inches more of height.
Jenna bit her bottom lip as she looked at her complicated friend, someone even she didn't understand completely. It wasn't because she didn't talk about her past often but the way she reacted to things or spoke made many people think that Alex was cold hearted. Which Jenna had thought when she had first met Alexandra. When Alex had smiled at her, a very rare time, it showed Jenna that Alexandra wasn't as emotionless as others thought.
"Oh... I'll be late if I don't leave soon," Alex stood up when her plate was empty of all crumbs and chocolate marks, taking one last sip of her hazelnut coffee she stood up. Long blonde hair swinging around her shoulder in its low ponytail.
"Ok, I'll come over tonight for the details," Jenna shrugged just as Alex placed a small kiss on Jenna's cheek before she left. Alexandra was still uncomfortable with affection towards others but a small kiss on her friend's cheek before leaving was practice. Which she had started early in the year... last year.
Alexandra left the bakery/cafe with her book under her arm, ignoring the few looks people sent to her. It took her a 10 minute walk to the PIA building and when she went in, the cool air from the morning air seemed to slip away. Her cheeks were pink from being barred to the cold but it didn't stop her from entering the room she had been pointed to.
"Uh... hi," Alex gave a small movement of her hand that looked like a wave but it only involved two fingers before she decided to take a seat on an empty chair.
"Oh yea, I'm Alexandra Dulce. Telepath," Was the end of her introduction before she leaned back in her seat and opened the book from where she left off in the cafe.
'A Dance for the Wicked' a book that was about a woman who lived in a deceitful world and instead of hiding in fear decides to make her way to the top in the business world. To knock down all those who had tried to trick her or guide her in the wrong direction. She herself turned into one of the most wicked within the book.
(Lol no, its not a real book)
