Chapter 71
Alex drove to Kate's office the next morning without Brielle's knowledge. Having known that Brielle would be a bit jealous if she heard his whereabouts, he decided to be wise about it and that made everything easier for him to navigate. "I didn't know that you would be here so soon I would have prepared something for you, I hope you're not annoyed?" Kate said and he shook his head, there was nothing stopping him from having a meal from her but he didn't want to give her the wrong ideas. Also, he saw that she was a bit professional today and thought that she must have realized her errors and thus couldn't be judged for that as long as she knew what she was doing but others could definitely go a long way if she was able to stop the way things were going at least for now.It was almost as though she was just trying to do whatever she could to redeem herself. What she didn't know was the fact that he didn't hold any grudges against her. "So, I'm good but I'm here on another mission tho

Brock smiled at his friend who was relaxed on the chair and spread his hands across the back of the chair and he stared at him. "May I sit?" He replied and pulled out the chair, plopped on it and made sure that he also relaxed.Sean laughed at the words of his friend."I would have thought that you would try your best to be able to bring something tangible. You could only afford a bottle of wine. That's poor even for you." He replied."I don't know what to bring you, as the wealthy man that you are." Brock replied tiredly. Sean was staring at his friend who was staring at him. "I don't know why you're here. I know it's not because you need anything serious. You're probably here to invite me over for booze. I hope you get past that." He replied heartily while moving his folder away.Brock wasn't really happy by the description because he knew that it was true. "Your perception of me is wrong and I don't know why you always act as though you're any better. Let me know if you don't like

When Alex and Brielle walked into the company that night, they were gobsmacked. It was not every time that they were exposed to such lightning and decor. " This is topnotch." He whispered in Brielle's ears who nodded in agreement.They were with their masks. It was almost like a fun fair and different people from various walks of life were present. Richard Reynolds was no small man. He was one of the players in the industry and therefore the movers and shakers of the industry would surely present."How are you able to navigate through everything that's been happening lately?" Brock asked his sister when he walked up to them. Brielle turned to see her brother who was obviously there to taunt her and was seeking her words to start a fight. Sadly, he was in for a shock because she was here to enjoy herself and was ready to mingle with like-minded individuals, not the ones who were trying to act like he didn't know what he was doing.Alex chuckled at the embarrassed look on each of Brock

A flat screen appeared at the back which was used to project the image of the house that he gifted Alex's father in-law. It was lovely and he was setting his plans in motion. No one needed to understand it but at least there was a reason that he was going to make sure that everything was going on smoothly."Okay, that is not a problem. We can always have t discussion later." He smiled but didn't quite mean it. It wasn't going according to his plans but maybe it was the universe's way of stopping him from making a mistake and checking thoroughly what this could be."Are you going to stop me from leaping over there and wiping the smug smile out of that man's face?" She said and smiled while everyone was not looking. There was surely something that no one knew that she was trying so hard to make sure it didn't come to the limelight.Alex shook his head" I'm not a party to violence. I had never stopped the bad people from doing what they'd do. So, let's see what can happen?" He replied.B

"Was it true that he tried to kill someone?" Brielle asked with her eyes wide open. There were a lot of things that she didn't know. That means that she was walking around almost blindly while thinking that she was still seeing."Babe, you don't need that information. I just need you to be careful. Those men are scheming bastards." Alex said while placing a hand on her shoulder as she tried to understand what was going on.He saw the fear in her eyes and he chuckled. This was why many women would not have access to lots or information because of their reactions. They were always going to act like the world was crashing on them when in reality, it wasn't. He was just going to relax and watch the nonsense that they attempted to do. It would also be great to beat them at their game "You know too much yet remain humble." Brielle said in wonder, then a thought struck her mind. " Are you really going to report my brother?" She asked fearfully and he shrugged softly..he didn't want to tell

As Alex was coming out of the bathroom, he met his wife's cousin Amelia walking out of the ladies room with a smile on her face. He ignored her point blank and continued his journey down to the hall where the party was ongoing.She placed a hand on his arm. "why have you been acting like you didn't see the way I was looking at you all the while?"Alex had seen her briefly but was wondering why she didn't mingle with the rest of the family but didn't pay much attention to that. It was her freaking business."You better get your filthy hands off mine before I do something that I'd regret. It's almost as though you are going mad." He abused her. He wasn't among the category of men who encourage bad behavior from people. He would never make sure that any stupid woman had the guts to talk to him miserly. He always conducted himself with so much grace that caused people to respect him."Why are you acting like you don't like what you see?" She challenge

The rest of the other people were actually waiting to see what would happen but Alex slammed the door after entering into Liam's office who was annoyed with the way he had acted. "Why have you decided to be stubborn and underpay workers? They work diligently but you ration their payment. Who does that?" He demanded.Liam swiveled from the chair he was sitting and stared at his brother whose body was vibrating with anger. He was among the group of people who thought that they owed workers some special kind of money when in reality they didn't. It was just the way that they decided to live their lives that mattered. It would be better if he could get the other people to switch to his side except his brother."Good morning to you too, dear brother. I heard that you had a pleasant night yesterday. I don't know how true that is though because I can't help but wonder where you got your things from. I mean it's not every time that one has access to the fine things of life but it's good that

As soon as Ben crossed the threshold, he felt like something was wrong because he was only seeking the best way to be able to be free from any problems regarding the office. He knew that the call meant doom."You sent for me sir?" He asked softly like he didn't know what was happening. It was only because he was trying to be out as soon as possible.Liam glared at him. He was probably one of the culprits and there was something that he was supposed to do. "Ben, why does my brother suddenly demand an increase in salary range?" He asked him.Ben was stupefied because he didn't know what to do. It was almost as if there was a problem that he didn't know existed but right now he was discovering it. "I'm sorry, sir but I don't follow. Do you mean that we have someone who went to meet the ..." He trailer off, almost saying boss. He knew that that would cause him an executive dismissal so he cautioned himself."You don't think that it's necessary to complete your statement?" He asked daringl

Alex was just walking around when he heard shouts coming from downstairs and he decided to go take a look at the reason. It was very annoying that these coworkers didn't know the right thing to do at specific times. They are always ready to shout. What if they had visitors?As soon as he came out of the reception, many cameras began to flash in his eyes and he was pissed at the foolery that they were displaying. Where in heaven's name were they doing? The last time he checked, nobody was doing basically what he was doing so he was wondering why they were acting this way."So, are you going to tell me what is going on here or am I supposed to discover all by myself?" He asked them. He had a lot of work to do on his desk and since he knew that he didn't call for any interviews, he begs to shield his face from being photographed."Can anyone tell me what I'm here for?!" He yeller and the noise subsided instantly. He had never understood the rate at which people thought. They saw his coun

You're one of the people who has decided to make life difficult for other people and what better way for us to teach you except you decide to learn?" Alex challenged him back and they ended the conversation. He walked back into the company and a few people came to meet him with the aim of hailing him and he pointed at them a bit wondering why they were acting weirdly."Oh it's nothing serious, I'm sure that you don't want to have all the time to yourself and I am ready to change things around."There was nothing that was stopping him from knowing all the things that he should because that was like the only way that stuff like that could come to pass and there would be no problem. He didn't want them to see him as a messiah that was out to fight all their battles."You can see the way I displease myself just to make sure that you get an increment right? If you don't make a move in the right direction, I'll take it to mean that you don't know what you're doing anymore and tell him to sc
