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
"Is everything okay here?" The manager, Tony, asked.Alex looked at the receiptonist. He loved how she was shivering in fear. If she had been nice to him or maybe even treated like a regular customer, maybe he won't have to do what was in his mind. "Stacy," the manager turned to the receptionist who still had her head held down. "What happened here? Did you say anything to Mr. Albert?" "Sir, I d-d-didn't." She stuttered and Alex chuckled. She was not a very good liar. He had seen women who lied better than her. "Stacy I am not going to ask you again, what did you do?" The manager said more sternly this time. "Sir, please. Before you get upset, I honestly did not know who he was. If I knew that he was the Mr Albert that you told me about, the CEO of the company that owns this store, I would have been extremely nice. But sir, he came in dressed like a thug and quite frankly, he does not look like someone who can afford a place like this. Sir, I only had that best interest of the sto
"Manager," Alex called out again and the man answered, softly. "Oh yes sir. She is fired. I'm sorry I was just taken aback by how good you are in this job. I honestly did not believe that anyone could tell between her lies and her truth until you came along sir." "Well, let's say my skin itches when I hear lies. So, can I package my clothes now. And also package the ones my sister here bought." He said and pointed at Natalie. "Definitely sir," the man noded and walked away"Wait the company owns this store?" Natalie asked "Yes we do. I know we can get things here for free and no one would disturb us but you see I always like to do things the right way. This is a store and I don't allow anyone to come in here and buy something without actually paying for it. So that's why I usually pay for things that I get from here. I mean if I don't do it like that the is a huge possibility that we may go broke.""Well that's true. You know I love how much you care about this company. You treat
Alex steps out of the restaurant, ready to go home and prepare for and evening he wished would go like as fast as the wind. "What exactly is happening here?" He heard a familiar voice as he stepped out. Turning around, he saw a very angry Aurora standing next to him, boiling in anger. "So, it's not enough that you cheated on me with my best friend, you had to go ahead and cheat on my best friend with this tramp?!" She said, almost screaming. "Don't you have any kind of shame, Alex? Don't you have any respect for yourself? Why do you keep jumping from one woman to the other with no self control?" She continued to complain. "Alex, who is this?" Natalie asked as she turned to look at him "Yes please ask him that question because it's a very good question. Let him tell you who I am. Go on Alex, tell her who I am and let her know that she is only another pawn in your sick and twisted game of using people." Alex stood still and looked at her. He could not believe that she could actual
Alex went back to his apartment to prepare for the dinner. He was close to leaving when he got a call from his security. "Good evening sir," the man greeted him. "Yes, good evening. Is everything okay?" He asked. "Yes, everything is okay. It's just that the is a woman here who says that she knows you. I was wondering if you know her because I haven't seen her before." Alex sighed. He was not the one who gave the guards the instructions to contact him before allowing anyone to get into the apartment but he knew exactly who gave that orders. Damien was so scared that something terrible would happen to him and he knew very well that he was the man who gave that orders to his security. "What's her name?" Alex asked. He had told Damien over and over again that he was fine and he did not need to be worried about him but the man just would not accept it and so, he had decided that he would just allow the man to do whatever he pleases. "Her name is Ivy sir," the man responded and Alex s
