Elaine’s stomach let out a rumble and she was immediately reminded of Alexander’s words. It was annoying this time though as she was also reminded of how rude and grumpy he was just a couple of hours ago. What had she done that was so wrong? All she did was ask if he was headed somewhere and then try to show her care by telling him he didn’t need to worry about driving her home first. But in response, what had she gotten? Nothing but the usual cold and grumpy Alexander. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be surprised or disappointed but she was. She had slowly gotten used to him being oddly nice to her and now, his default cold self had become one she was taking offense to. Her stomach grumbled again and she immediately let out a groan. She didn’t want to eat just yet but knowing every second she tried to starve herself was simply going to result in her thinking about Alexander, she quickly rose to her feet and stepped out of her room.

Having guests at work wasn’t something that happened rarely but definitely having guests that were members of the Xavier family was.Work started on a good note with Alexander remaining in his office almost the whole time while Elaine and Rachael worked from their own side.

She was getting older but Elaine could swear she looked younger every single time she laid his eyes on her and for someone she saw regularly, it was a lot.“Mrs. Xavier,” Rachael s

Elaine never had much experience consoling people. Growing up alone, if there was anyone that constantly needed consoling it was her and barely having anyone to do it for her, she took up that task herself but that was it. She never had to actually console anyone else making her totally clueless on how to console people. Or at least, so she thought. Cause apparently, all she needed to do was stare at Alexander for a couple of seconds to know what she needed to do. It was like it came so naturally. Like it was the right thing to do. The only expected thing for her to do. He froze in her embrace for what seemed like a couple of seconds before she finally felt him softening. He didn’t hug her back though, simply remaining in her arms while she wrapped them around him tighter, offering him comfort and companionship in ways he had no idea he needed. They remained in that position for a while and not even for a second, did any of them realize how weird and unusual what was going on was.
