She attended a court hearing that morning and spent the afternoon engrossed in her tasks.

As the workday neared its end, her assistant entered, hesitating to speak.

"Miss Fowler, Mr. Douglas is here."

Alexis was too busy to even Lift her head.

"Who?"

Even as she spoke, Leonel was already at the door, clad in casual attire that accentuated his striking presence.

The young women in the law firm were on the verge of losing their composure.

Leonel gazed at Alexis affectionately.

"I'm here to pick you up after work!"

Putting down her pen, Alexis reclined in her chair.

“Huh? A man with a single hand, disabled, aiming to fetch someone from work. Are you serious about this?"

Leonel had a good-natured demeanor akin to that of a caring husband.

He approached and pulled Alexis to her feet.

"Come on, enough with the banter. There isn't much food in the fridge, and I need to buy some daily necessities. Let's head to the grocery store before going home."

The assistant at the door sported a gossip-laden expression.

“They were cohabiting, officially living together," one murmured.

Another uttered discreetly, "Miss Fowler and Mr. Douglas are an item.

They make such a charming couple."

Alexis felt rather helpless.

She asked her assistant and the gathering employees to depart. Once the door was shut, she inquired of Leonel, “What's the purpose of all this? Must you ensure everyone is in the loop? It's just accommodating you for a few days. Don't exaggerate and turn it into a spectacle!"
