The following morning, the air in the luxurious mansion carried the scent of breakfast as Alex, dressed in a sharp suit, prepared to head out for work.

"We are going together today," she declared with a determined smile.Alex, taken aback, tried to protest, "But, mummy, do you really have to? I mean, you have your exercises."Grace dismissed his concern with a wave of her hand. "Do I look sick to you? I told Lisa not to come today."Alex, ever the caring son, furrowed his brows. "Why not? I can't have you miss a day of it. You have to stay back and continue your exercises."Grace stood her ground, her expression unwavering. "We are going together."Alex sighed, knowing that when his mother set her mind to something, there was no changing it. As the sle

As Alex and Bambi entered his office, the weight of the day's events lingered in the air. Bambi, grateful for the support yet burdened by the whispers that surrounded her, hesitated before speaking her truth."I appreciate everything you do for me, but I don't think I can continue working with you, Alex," Bambi admitted with a heavy sigh.Alex, surprised by her statement, asked, "What do you mean?"Bambi explained, "I mean, your mum was seriously angry earlier today, and I don't want to be the reason she's mad at you."Alex reassured her, "My mum is just acting based on what Becca told her, and as you could see... it was handled. You don't have to worry about that."Bambi, however, continued, "Not only that, though. I've been hearing whispers about me seducing you to get this job. I really don't want to be put in this situation."Alex, frustrated by the unjust rumors, said firmly, "Listen, Bambi, people will always say what they want to say. You and I both know it's not true.

Alex questioned, a mix of skepticism and concern in his voice.Rich, leaning forward with a thoughtful expression, replied, "I know about that, and of course, I wouldn't cause any problems for you. But this is a major project, a precursor to the one we'll be working on for Africa."Alex, trying to grasp the magnitude of the proposition, pressed further, "Can't you get someone else, aside from me and the butler?"Grace, with a knowing look, added, "He isn't a Fitzgerald. You are the only one that can do it. Besides, you know I can't because of my health.""But, Mum, you're getting better," Alex interjected, concern etching his face.Grace, turning to Rich, exclaimed, "Are you listening to this boy? This is the time I'm supposed to

As they walked from the restaurant, the night air seemed to hold a mixture of tension and understanding. Bambi spoke first, a tone of regret in her voice, "I'm sorry about earlier."Alex, still processing the encounter with Solomon, responded firmly, "He is disrespectful, so disrespectful. How can you allow him to talk to you like that? What happened between you two? Am I allowed to ask?"Bambi sighed, a weight lifted as she decided to share her past. "Solomon is my ex. I used to be in serious debt then, before my mom passed. For her hospital bills, Solomon used to help me sort the bills, as long as I was with him and did his bidding. I didn't have a choice then. I'm sorry for putting you in this mess."Alex, understanding the complexity of Bambi's past, replied, "You don't have to apologize.
