Alex swirled around on his seat with his head popped up, his eyes closed and with a smile on his face. He could hear everything that was happening around him. He could even head as Damien kept answering phone calls that he placed on speaker. Everyone was excited with the improvements he had made in the company and they could not wait to get start working with him again. Alex even heard new and influential people eager to sign a contract with him or award them with a contract but Damien was wise enough to not collect anything from them. He told all of the new clients that they had an onboarding process that they had to go through and he would not be able to actually work with them except they went through the same Onboarding process. "I didn't know we had an onboarding process." Alex spoke out when he ended the call. "Well there is a possibility that we don't actually have one and I am just saying this because I want to get to know them better and not sell ourselves cheap." "Well t
Alex hoped that it was a lie. He stared at Andres, hoping that the man would burst out in laughter any minute but that did not happen. The man never laughed and he did not even find anything he was saying amusing. How could he have been so blinded by love? Alex thought to himself as he used his hands to ruffle his hair. The knock on the door persisted and soon, tired of Nancy behaving that way, he screamed "come in Nancy!" But it wasn't Nancy that came in. It was Aurora, walking like an innocent girl desperate to get any sort of sympathy. Alex had none for her. Just by looking at her, he could feel his blood boiling. He wanted nothing more than to make her suffer for what she was putting him through but the young man had better plans lined up for her. He would not show fear, neither would he allow her to know that he knew what she was up to but he was going to make sure that she never had that edge over him again. "How can I help you?" He asked sternly and the young woman shivered a
"Go on then," he said. "When you left, I was feeling so bad because of what I did and I wanted to apologize but before doing that, I wanted to be sure that you were not seeing someone secretly in your company. So I came in here to make sure of that and also to be in close contact with you." Aurora was good at a lot of things but the one thing she was terrible at was lying. She could not lie to save her life and she made it obvious right there and then again. "You want me to actually believe that you came to work in my company just so that you could see if I was dating someone else?" She asked. "Yes and also to be close to you," she said as she moved in again, desperate to once again get his attention through touching. "Oh and how did that work out for you?" He played along, not wanting her to know that he could clearly see through her pathetic lies. "Well for one, not so great. I mean I already feel so bad about what I did to you and I haven't been able to get close to you becau
Immediately she walked out, Alex and Ivy bursted out in laughter. Alex could not believe how much he had enjoyed what he had just witnessed. He thought that he would not be able to see her being sad but it brought it a strange sense of satisfaction, that was when he knew that he was slowly getting over her. As soon as Aurora got outside, she had to fight back the tears that threatened to fall from her face. It was her fault actually. She was the one who did not give in to her feelings early enough. She was busy acting tough and she wanted Alex to keep begging and running after her like a dog. But the man wasn't a boy and he got the message loud and clear and quickly got a replacement for her. She could not believe that he actually got a replacement for her but she was seeing it happen and could not say a thing anymore. She stood by the doorway and sniffled. She could feel the cold yet worried gaze of his secretary on her and she immediately composed herself to walk away. But her he
When Ivy pulled away, Alex almost did not want to kiss to end and he pulled her back in, locking her in with his hands. He sucked on her lips like he has been hungry for it all his life and Ivy took in the passion with which he kissed her with. Finally, he pulled away. "Wow," Ivy said, still sitting on Alex's legs as Alex slowly drew her dangling hair from her face."I know." "It hasn't felt like that before, has it?" Ivy asked him, smiling."No, it hasn't. This felt like a bond being formed. I had an idea that you were actually such a good kisser but I never thought that I would be pulled in that way." Alex admitted "I must say that this feels amazing to me as well. I wonder why!" She asked while raising her eyebrows but Alex did not have enough time to answer that question because immediately his intercom rang. "Hold that thought," he told Ivy and picked the telecom "Yes Nancy," he said"Sir, your meeting with Mr and Mrs. Stewart is in the next two minutes and they are waiting
For a moment, Alex believed that she would actually do the right thing and not choose money but he watched in anger and disgust as she sat back down quitely without so much as saying a word of protest. He could not say that he was totally shocked, after all he knew that girls like her were only after one thing and one thing alone, money. "Okay then, well I don't want to hear any more complaints from you on that subject. Now if you don't mind, tell me a bit about your company let me know what I am actually investing in." Alex did not need their breakdown. He already had all the information he needed to have about their company. He was thorough with his research but he still needed to allow them talk, he particularly wanted to see if they would actually lie about their company just to get him to be more interested and he was happy when Mr Stewart started talking. The man did not try to sugarcoat anything. Neither did the man try to lie. He told him the truth and nothing but the truth
"Please tell me that you are joking!" Ivy said as she rushed to the front. "No, we are not!" Brittany said arrogantly. "Look, this is none of your business but Alex and I have a connection and it's only fair that we end up in marriage so please stay out of this. We all know that you are nothing but a fling to him. Whereas, I am the real deal." "You know the only thing that is real about you is the foul mouth you have because it is so evident that everything from your head to your toe is fake, including that trash you just muttered." "How dare you?!" Brittany said angrily and was about launching towards Ivy when her mother held her back. "Alex please tell this bitch that you don't mean anything with you. Please tell her that you don't want anything to do with her and that she should really stop bothering you now.""I can't tell her something that isn't true, Brittany," Alex said "And if you are not careful with the way you talk to her, I will not hesitate to ask security to actuall
With curiosity, Alex picked up the phone and his initial action was to wait till the young man finally said something, but for some reasons, he just could not go through with doing that. "Dustin, good morning." He said still curious as to why the man would call him. "Alex, where are you?" His voice was shaking and that was when Alex could hear the commotion happening in the background. He heard screams of pain and anger. "I'm at work. What's going on in that school?" He questioned. "I am not in school. Well, we were on our way to school when... Will you fucking stop doing that? You are going to kill him!!!" He heard Dustin yelling and his blood froze. Who was being threatened? He was curious to know. "Dustin, talk to me. What happened?" "Well we were on our way to school when some boys ambushed us. It was me, Hayden and Trevor. We were studying together and just decided to go to class together." "Who ambushed you?!" Alex said, his fist folding. Some idiots had the audacity to
