As soon as Alex got to school, he saw Brittany waiting for him at the gate. He sighed when he saw her rushing to his side with a look of anger "Dear Lord what does she want now?" He asked himself as he stood still and waited for her. "Alex, did you not know that you were supposed to call me last night?" She asked without so much as greeting him"And why was I supposed to do that? Last time I checked, I am not owning you anything at all.""Are you really that daft? We are going to a party together tonight and because of that, I can't just bring you to come meet my parents without them suspecting that something is happening between us. I mean, for the love of God, they won't believe anything I say." Alex shook his head as he tried to understand what she was talking about. "Okay, what exactly are you talking about?" He asked. "I am talking about you not calling me and even when I tried to reach out to you, you did not pick. How am I supposed to convince my parents now that we are in
"Brittany, have you actually lost it? Look, snap out of whatever you are thinking okay. That guy is not in your league and I am not going to allow you dream about someone like that. So snap out of whatever you are currently thinking, okay?" Her friend, Valerie said."Look, you don't understand it. Something is very different about him. He is not like the other guys I usually talk to." "And that's because he is broke." Valarie interrupted, not giving her a chance to complete her statement. "Listen to me Brittany, people like that are below you okay? You can't actually stoop to their level and allow him to wash your head with his swag because that is all he has. He knows very well how to act big but he is very small. So keep whatever you are thinking out of your head.""So what, are you saying I should settle for that boy my parents want me to be with?" "That is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that instead of you to continuously lust over this boy when you know very well tha
Alex watched in horror as his friends walked away. He knew he would have to go the extra mile to make it up to them and get them to forgive him. He was ready to do all that it took and he was not going to try and be sly about it at all. They were friends and it was normal for friends to argue but what he would not allow is for their arguement to take months and he would finally have to watch in horror as they all left him. He promised himself that he would fix it. He could not lose them. They were his brothers and he would not live his life without having the security of being with his brothers. As Alex was about leaving, he bumped into Brittany and sighed in exhaustion."I really hope you are not following me," he said when he saw that she was the one. "I should actually be the one asking you that question since you are always around me. What exactly is the problem, huh?" She asked. "Do you miss me that much that you badly need to see my face at every time?" "If you are done flat
Valerie looked at her friend and did not even know what to tell her. She could not believe that he would think so lowly of her. But of course she would. She never opened her eyes fully to see it.. Brittany could not even tell when a man was just using her for her father's money and her father had a lot of it and half of that money, he spent it on Brittany and Brittany would spend it on anyone who cared to give her the attention of the day. Valerie loved her. She cared for her and always wanted to protect her but sometimes, the woman was a real thron in the flesh and she did not hesitate to do everything that could actually make her get back her senses. But still she did not. Everytime she would get her heart broken by a guy she had trusted, the same guy that Valerie would warn her about. The same guy that Valerie would tell her that he just wanted her money but she would not listen. She would dive head in into such arrangements and when the guy was done eating her money or he felt li
As soon as they got into the office, Alex went straight to Damien's office. His assistant had already informed him that the young man was inside, waiting patiently for him and so Alex entered the office."You are supposed to go to your office and then allow me to come meet you," Damien said without looking up.Alex could see someone sitting and he immediately apologized. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you had someone with you here. You see, your assistant told me that you were alone in here, that was why I came in.""That's because I instructed him to say that. This is the August Visitor that you have. I could not allow him to be waiting outside so I had to invite him to come wait here with me." Damien explained."And exactly who is this if I may ask?" "Hi," the man finally spoke as he stood up and gave Asked a firm handshake. "My name is Tony and I am Davina's father."As soon as Alex heard that name, his face changed. He did not know what the man was here for but he could already tell
The sight that Alex and Damien rushed to see almost made them burst into laughter. Outside were a bunch of men who had told them that they would not make it without them in the business. A bunch of men who had claimed to be the ones holding the company. A bunch of men who had thought that the company would crumble without them."Well well well, look what we have here?" Alex said mockingly. "I knew they would come back but what I don't understand is why are they doing a protest instead of just begging us to give them their position back." "Well, I don't think pride will allow them to do any of that. You see, unfortunately, it has eaten deep into them." Damien responded and Alex could not agree more with him Walking towards them, the crowd immediately went mute and people with their phones turning the camera to him. "What exactly is happening here?" Alex asked, as if he did not already know why they were there. "Mr. Alex, we don't know how you did it but we believe that you must ha
Alex spent the rest of his days working with Damien. Yes, his honesty had gotten the company lots of recongization and he was able to land lots of deal that they could not land before because now, everyone saw his company as not just competent enough. They also saw that he was effective and they could trust him with their hard earned money. Now this made them flourish more than any other company in their field and when it brought about a lot of hate from his competitors. It made his company to grow more than before. "Is that all?" Alex asked as he leaned back on his chair. He had been sitting down in one position for hours and his entire body became sour as he tried to navigate through the last remaining things they had to do. "I don't think you understand how catastrophic this truly is. Look, we need to actually do something about this before it gets out of hand." Damien said as he looked at the documents in front of him. "This needs to be attended to, Alex. We can't postpone it."
The store was on the othe side of the street, no too far from where their company was situated and Alex did not see the need to drive. He was already exhausted and he believed that a little stretch would help his fatigued state. He had convinced Natalie to walk with him since the store was not too far away and the woman agreed. As soon as they reached the store, Alex was thirsty. The sun was not so harsh but it did leave him feeling cranky and he desperately needed a drink. "You go start selecting clothes while I go get water to drink from the counter.""Alright then." She agreed and left. "Hello," Alex said with a soft smile on his face as he got to the counter. He met a very beautiful woman there and he could not help but admire her beauty. "Please can I get a bottle of water? I am coming from the sun and I am very thirsty. " Alex said but the woman did not respond, she did not even bother to look at him "Hello," Alex called out and smacked the table, thinking that she was prob
