There Levi's heart melt as he felt guiltiness rush through him. Jaxon's words were enough to mention that he and his friends are the ones who Jaxon is protecting from the such judgemental crowd. Jaxon said in the article that gender doesn't matter as long as you're sure of yourself and is not pretending to be someone else you can never become.
It's as if Jaxon's refining to Levi, the moment he mentioned all of that. It's like a mirror for him to look at and self reflect in reality, only that Levi's not yet ready.
Levi smiled.
Jaxon's changed, he's way more confident now, and it's funny how the tables have turned. Just a few years ago Levi is the one who cheer up for Jaxon to stand up on his own and make a claim, and now he's the one chickened out of a bizarre situation that he knows he could never turn back.
He's in love.
Levi's definitely in love once again with the same guy he had his heart broken five years ago. If Jaxon wanted him back that would be easy if he had confessed earlier, but now that everything's complicated for him, Levi would likely want to set things slowly. He wants to make sure that when he says yes, Jaxon wouldn't have a reason to leave.
"I see you're smiling there..." His voice echoed across every corner inside the meeting room.
"I'm just glad you didn't get yourself harmed." Levi answered to Jaxon.
"Did you get the deal?" Jaxon asked worried bout his business.
"You have the bestest architect, remember?" Levi said with a such positive tone that Jaxon went to smirk.
"Do you have plans after this?"
"I have some papers to sign first, why?"
"Can we have dinner later?" Levi confidently asked that made Jaxon quite in shock even though his expression was the same, so bossy.
"Why a sudden change of thought? Did you get flattered?" Jaxon asked which Levi rolled his eyes.
"Never mind, I'll go invite someone else,"
Levi was about to leave after his statement but made everything clear when he stopped Levi from running away by grabbing his hand.
Levi who's in shock felt overwhelmed by the touch that Jaxon's giving. He wanted to take his hand away, but for a reason he just couldn't do such a thing.
Jaxon then grinned and pulled Levi even closer, that's enough for Levi to get awkward and nervous.
"Who said I'd like some joiners? I bet that's not a splendid idea, Levi," He whispered.
"I-I wasn't even thinking-"
"Deal, but I'd like you to have dinner at my house instead," He cut off Levi's words.
"But-"
"A deal is a deal, Levi, there's no turning back." He said and left the room with Levi, who's getting even more nervous at the situation he's into.
He thought if Jaxon invites him back to his place, it would only make it worse for his feelings to grow. He hasn't got to move on yet from their intimate moment last night and every time he thinks of it; he gets frustrated.
"Am I that easy to not being able to refuse?" He breathes out of annoyance.
Levi wanted Jaxon to stop his track of taking him as an easy target, but every time Jaxon hit the bossy, attractive tone, his body wouldn't just cooperate with him. It's kinda unfair for him though cause he's never got the choice but to do what exactly Jaxon wants to do, and the worst part of that is when he likes them either.
"Damn, that smart a*s billionaire, he always gets what he wants."
-----------------------
"Thank you," Levi greeted back to their team leader who congratulated them for their first achievement with his team.
Apparently, they have been receiving a lot of wonderful comments from their first client, which now leads them to handle another project. But since Levi was appointed to deal with Jaxon's proposal to his business partners, He's afraid that four people might would not be enough.
He thought if only he could demand, it would be much easier to handle work, but that would leave a suspicious idea for others cause Levi is receiving enough special treatment already.
He doesn't want Jaxon to ruin his reputation either, so Levi's doing his very best to avoid contact with him ever since the day they last encountered.
But damn, Jaxon is very persistent into annoying Levi to get his attention.
"So what's our plan?" Robin asked his teammates, whose very busy taking care of their recent project.
Upon receiving excellent reviews from their first client, it seemed like their team is gaining good impacts and reputation around the Lux Corporation. The first leading team were actually starting to get worried because Levi is handling his team well, using their talents to create not only a standard design, but out of professional skills.
However, Robin, Amanda and Zefany thinks about Levi do not differ from Mr. Jaxon while acting as their team leader. It is untenable that Levi's got excellent skills in handling business that would be a perfect match for Mr. Jaxon.
"What about having a celebration?" Zefany suggested to her teammates.
"That sounds good! I know a great restaurant nearby," Amanda said, which makes the team to agree except for Levi who looks exhausted and pressured,
"What about you Levi? Are you in?"
"Yeah are you?" Robin asked.
"I don't know, with lots of things to review, I think I must pass. You guys can have fun if you want to, I wouldn't mind that." Levi explained and Amanda sighed, feeling sorry for Levi.
'Poor Levi, I'm sure he had a horrible experience in the past company his working" Amanda thought because it's clear that Levi is not aware of what Lux Corporation does to their employees. Clients do not rush deadlines unless it's very important.
She thought that maybe Levi must have an important reason to make an outstanding performance in his job because of the efforts he is showing.
"Oh, come on, we can do that later, relax!" Zefany said to comfort Levi and distract his attention from working too much.
"Yeah you should, besides our recent client isn't rushing our project so may get a little time for ourselves." Robin explained.
"Is that true?" Levi asked and Amanda nodded in reply.
"Are you coming with us? Or we should leave you alone?" Amanda offered and Levi smiled.
"I'd rather celebrate." He answered and then went home together with his teammates and recent friends.
Along their way to celebrate, the team suddenly met Mr. Jaxon, who is probably on his way to get home. But when Robin called him, Levi couldn't stop hitching his breath out of frustration.
"Why does he always ends up meeting me?" He questioned himself in a whispering tone.
Unluckily, Zefany noticed Levi is acting weird, which now leads to her speculations that maybe Levi and Mr. Jaxon have a past relationship.
Honestly, it does not bother her but it pours excitement and joy seeing her two favorite person likes and denies each other out of love. She noticed it when Levi first met them, the way Mr.Jaxon demands for his attention, the more Zefany got interested into stalking Levi, and yet she learned that Levi is a bisexual man.
