Alexander’s POV
~Singapore, October 14~
Several floors above the ground, leg-crossed and seated alone in the corner of an exclusive restaurant, I sip wine while staring down at the bright city lights.
A pianist is playing softly in the background. There’s barely anyone else in this room. I asked for as much privacy and quietness as I could get; that’s the reason.
The wine is drier than usual. The silence, blending with the piano, is the kind of calm I need after two long weeks of noise, high-level meetings, internal operations, networking, and more work.
I’d gladly enjoy this while it lasts.
I turn around and signal to the waiter for a refill of my glass.
On a night like this, that back massage I was promised at our engagement party would be the perfect addition to this quiet.
