Chapter - 28

Ch. 43 / 76 Jan 19, 2026

(Xavier P.O.V)

While taking a shower I remember I asked her for a date but didn’t tell her, when I will going to take her on a date. So I finished taking a shower and get dressed in comfortable clothes. I call my secretary and she picks up on a second ring.

“Hello, Reena,” I said on the phone.

“Yes Alpha,” she answered.

“Do I have an appointment or any meeting with anyone tomorrow after 6 pm?” I ask her.

“Let me check Alpha,” she said and I heard her opening her laptop and checking my schedule.

“No, Alpha,” she said to me.

“Good, then book a table for two, at my favorite restaurant for dinner,” I order her.

“Yes alpha, anything else,” she asks me.

“No, Renna, that’ s all, thank you,” I said and hang up on her. After that, I call her and she picks up after the 3rd ring. After talking to her I walk downstairs to have dinner with Addy. Addy was very happy when I informed her that I have finally asked my mate for a date and it was tomorrow. We talk for some more time and go to sleep.

(Elena P.O.V)

After entering the house, I kept my purse on the table and wear an apron, and prepare dinner for myself. after dinner, I clean up the dishes and arrange them in their places. After that, I clean the kitchen and prepare the hot bath for myself. I remove the clothes and get inside the bathtub and don’t know when I fall asleep.

I woke up in the bathtub feeling cold when I heard my phone ring beside me and pick it up. I see the unknown number on it if it was Oliver who is calling me from someone else phone I will hang upon him, I thought and pick up the phone.

“Hello,” I said on the phone.

“Hello, Miss Dawson, I hope I didn’t disturb your sleep, if you have fallen asleep,” I heard Mr. Mcknight say on the phone.

“Not at all, Mr. Mcknight, how can I help you?” I ask him.

“How many times have I told you to call me by my name when we are outside the office?” he asks me.

“You have only told me once, and I didn’t know if you have called me for an office-related thing or not?” I answered him with a shrug.

“Well I can assure you that it’s not an office-related thing, so you can call me by my name, anyway I called you because I have asked you for a date and forgot to tell you when I am taking you for a date,

I hope you are free after office tomorrow?” he asks me.

“Yes, Xavier I am free, tomorrow,” I answered him.

“Good, then, I will pick you up tomorrow, and you can leave at 5:00 clock to go home and get ready for the date,” he said to me.

“Thank you, Xavier, but I don’t think I will need to leave to get ready, we can go directly from the office if that is okay with you, ” I said to him.

“I am okay with that Elena, if that you want, I will see you tomorrow at the office, okay?” he said to me.

“Okay, goodnight bye,” I said to him and hang upon him. I get dressed in my night dressed and get inside the bed and fall asleep.

The next day, I get up with a smile on my face. Today I am going on a date with Xavier, with that thought I get ready for my day and pack all the things I needed to get ready for my date in the bag. I decided to have breakfast at the nearby cafe. After breakfast, I pay my bill and catch the bus to the office. I greeted my collages with good mornings and get to my work.

After a few hours, I saw my wristwatch to see it was 5:30 pm. I close my laptop grab my things and walk toward the washroom to get ready for my date. I decided to go with a simple but elegant white dress with a little bit of makeup. I brush my hair and look at myself in the mirror.

When I was satisfied with my look, I pack my things and walk out of the office to see Xavier was already waiting for me. he is wearing a white shirt, blue pants with a blazer and his hair are combed nicely.

“You look gorgeous, Elena,” Xavier said taking my hands in his and placing a kiss on the back of my hand.

“You don’t look bad yourself, Xavier,” I said smiling at him. He opens the door for me and gets inside the car. After closing it he walks towards the driver's seat and gets inside the car and started driving to our destination.

************

The date with Xavier was amazing. At first, he took me to the theater. He had booked the whole theater just for us, can you believe it. I mean I know he is rich and all but the whole theater, I thought with a shake of my head and then he takes me for a beautiful candlelight dinner and we have so much fun spending time with each other, talking, laughing and I also did not bump into any Oliver’s friend and I am grateful for it because I don’t want to face any of them again.

Now we get to my place and sit in the car feeling backward not knowing what to do or say anything.

“I had an amazing time, Xavier,” I say, I don’t know whether I should now kiss him or not, my friend said to never kiss on the first date but my other friend said something else. So I have no idea what to do.

“Yeah, I had a good time too, so a second date is in the future?” He asks

“It’s soon.” And he comes in for a hug, we pull apart a little bit to look at each other and before I can register what we are doing we are kissing. I feel the fire explode all over my body but something feels off, it's like I was missing something, I thought but shake the thoughts away from my mind.

“Well until that second date then, Elena,” Xavier said smiling at me.

“Yeah until our second date,” I say and turn around and go to my apartment. I change into my nighty and get inside the bed and fall into a dreamless slumber.
