"Please tell me you are joking?" Tyler asked, desperate to know that he did not just kneel down for nothing. "I'm not sir." Alex said with a smirk on his face. "See you had your chance and you totally blew it. You destroyed everything that you had, everything that you had worked for so what actually makes you think that I would care that much and that I would actually want to say anything to defend you or your father's company." "Because you have a company as well, how will you feel if a single mistake is what made you lose it all?" "Well I know that you don't know anything about this industry that we are in but more often than not, it's just one small mistake that makes us lose it all. And let me give you a piece of advice, if you are humble in this industry, if you are kind to people and if you treat people's problems like yours and you are empathetic, you will go a long way. Take a look at me for example, my company was involved in a scandal, I understood how hurt the public fel

Ivy did not like Alex's face when she opened the door for him. She had stayed awake all through the night expecting his return. She even went out of her way to make dinner for both of them even when he told her not to. She did not care because she knew that it made her happy to do all these for him. But his face made her think twice about her actions. "Is everything okay?" She asked as he avoided her and walked inside. "Yeah, can I get a glass of water please?" Alex asked calmly as he took a seat on his couch. "Sure," the girl responded and rushed to the fridge to bring his water. After giving him the glass, she stood by his side as he down the entire glass of water and handed the glass back to her. "Thank you." He said and leaned into the couch. Ivy took the glass and returned it to the kitchen counter. When she came back, she saw his eyes closed and his face worried, but he wasn't sleeping. "Alex what's wrong? What happened there?" He asked. "Well, I don't actually know where

Alex knew her body well and he wanted to explore it but he was also a man that knew how to control himself. He took his hand off her boobs and stood up from the bed."Go and get dressed, Ivy," he said with a hint of finality ending all thoughts of anything sexual happening between him and her in her head. He could see the disappointment on her face but he knew that one day, she would be thanking him for what he did. "Fine," Ivy said with disappointment written all over her face. She walked into the bathroom and Alex heaved a sigh of relief. The woman did not look that upset with him and he knew that he would have to be careful with the words that he said around her. It would take just a little thing to provoke her and he did not want that to happen. Ivy came out few minutes later, dressed in her night gown that wasn't revealing in any way. She had tried to keep everything hidden and Alex could only hope that the look of her beautiful skin would not make him want her again. "You ca

Ivy was shocked. She had never seen Alex that angry before and she never thought that she would ever see him that upset. She did not know who this person was but she could tell that the woman had a very strong grip on him and had him feeling things she could not understand. "Okay, calm down," Ivy said as she sat upright. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pass that frustration to you but it's just really annoying to have to endure all of these feelings." "Why? Haven't you felt this way before?" She asked. "The last time I felt this way, it was for a woman that did not even deserve it. Somehow, I just end up choosing the wrong people all the time. My last girlfriend, she left me because I was broke and she went to an old man who could give her money." "Are you serious? I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Ivy apologized."Well it was really painful. I know I tried to act macho and I fooled some people to believe that I wasn't hurt but I was. I was deeply hurt and I don't think that

Alex stepped into his company and he was met with a tensed atmosphere. Everyone looked at him as if they had been waiting for his arrival and he suddenly did not know why they all came to work so early. It wasn't even 8am and it seemed like everyone that his company had ever employed were in the office. Including Aurora. He saw her walk towards him when he entered the building and she kept taking slow steps towards him as if she was weary to walk hastily and get him upset. Alex gave one look in her direction before he turned and walked towards the elevator. He did not need to tell Andres to try and keep the woman away from him. Andres was observant enough and he knew how to restrain her when she got too close. Alex heard the commotion coming from them behind him and he wondered if she had seriously expected that she would be given the opportunity to just talk to him after what she had done. He did not even try to say anything about what she did. He did not even answer her when she
