He was her employer.
Of course she didn't have a crush on David Xanatos.
To Fox, she was just David. Not the David Xanatos. Either way, keeping everything professional at work would keep everything in line. Once the personal and the business blurred together, there was no going back.
But she loved to bend the rules, and would have no qualms about it. She knew that he bent plenty of rules as well. Either way, it would be a fun challenge.
She was never serious in her other relationships. David Xanatos would just be another one of the revolving guys she had flings with. True love was just a myth, right? Her parents called it quits when she was twenty-five.
Her father would throw a fit if she got involved with "that Xanatos". Xanatos Enterprise and Cyberbiotics were competitors for years.
Her parents loved each other, but they spent less time with each other. Then they went off into two different houses. When the divorce came, she saw it coming a mile away.
Maybe she traveled around the world after high school, since she had no home anymore.
She left her family fortune to make it on her own, and somehow went back to being involved with a rich billionaire.
He reminded her of her father. Owner of a successful corporation, someone who called the shots. Not that she had a desire for financial wealth. After having a silver spoon in her mouth all her life, upperclass life was boring.
He was mysterious like her mother. There was something different about her mother, but she could never quite put her finger on it. It was a good different. A warm different. The same warm different that David had.
David had nothing of her father's integrity. When it came to his hidden life, that was where the similarities stopped. They both liked to break the rules anyways. What's life without a few broken dishes? Were was the fun if you can't be bad now and then.
She and David could break up in five months, or even five years. No matter how long what she had with David was going to last, she knew when she was with him, she was home.
Something she never had in a long time.
