Elena stepped into the elevator, her heart racing with anticipation and nerves. She pressed the button for the 25th floor, the president's office. As the doors closed, she took a deep breath, preparing herself for the crucial meeting ahead.The elevator whirred to life, swiftly ascending through the floors. Elena's thoughts raced with rehearsed explanations and pleas for understanding.The elevator beeped as he reached the floor and the door slid open, Elena's gaze met an unwelcome face - James, the same man who had been molesting her. His smirk and leering eyes made her skin crawl."Wow, Elena…. What are you here for" James asked.Elena tried to ignore him and walk away, but James grasped her arm, his grip firm."Let go of me!" Elena demanded, attempting to shake off his hold.James chuckled. "Why did you always prove to be stubborn, just asking you what you are here for".."I have a meeting with the president," she declared, her voice steady and firm. "Please James, it is very urge
They enjoyed a blissful meal together, giggling and sharing warm smiles. Alexander prepared his mind to just confess his love for her.As they finished, Elena excused herself to prepare for the party. She emerged later, wearing a flowing yellow sundress with white flowers and a subtle sparkle. The dress was pretty, but perhaps not elegant enough for a high-society party.Alexander's face lit up with a warm smile as he gazed at her, he knew but overrated the dress. Since he knew Alexander didn't have an alternative, only if she had told him sooner. "You look lovely, Elena, you will kill them all," he said, his voice genuine and encouraging.But Charles burst out laughing, pointing at her mom. "Mom, you look like a sunflower in a garden of roses!" he exclaimed, his words dripping with playful sarcasm. "Let me tell you the truth, you look awful mom! The dress is not that appropriate!"Elena squeezed her face, but she chuckled and playfully rolled her eyes. "Well, It's not like I'm the c
Elena gathered herself, taking a few deep breaths to calm her nerves. She waited patiently for the president to finish greeting the other guests, her eyes fixed on him as he charmed the crowd with his charisma.Tracy urged her to go ahead, "Elena, go! He's almost free! Before he gets busy"Elena nodded, her heart racing with anticipation. She took a step forward, her red shimmering shoes clicking on the marble floor.Just as she was about to approach the president, James appeared out of nowhere, a wine glass in his hand. He bumped into her, spilling the red wine all over her yellow sundress."Oh no, I'm so sorry!" James exclaimed, his voice laced with fake concern. James had saw her and he intentionally did this so he could prevent her from seeing the president Elena's eyes widened in shock, her face burning with embarrassment. She looked down at her dress, the red wine stain spreading like wildfire. She was shocked and gazed at him.Smirking playing at the end of his lips, "oh, I'm
As Tracy walked towards her, Elena could see the anger in her eyes. She stepped back a little b, but Tracy was already closer to her as she delivered a resounding slap, leaving Elena's cheek stinging. "How dare you seduce my boyfriend?" Tracy screamed at her, shouting at the very top of her voice. She was very angry.Elena's eyes widened in shock. She knew this was about James, "I didn't seduce him, Tracy. James was the one forcing himself on me, he molested me times without a number!"Lydia immediately chimed in to defend her brother, "What do you think you are saying, accusing my innocent brother, I am sure you are the one that seduced him and forced yourself on him".Jane, who was the one that went to inform them, was surprised that they are accusing Elena even though he made it clear that James was molesting her. She intervened, "I think we should think the other way around, what is James doing here in the first place".One of them sneered at him, "What the hell are you saying,
The next morning, Elena was awoken by the ringing of her phone, she jolted up and found herself on the bed she remembered forgetting sleeping off on the couch. She knew Alexander must have done that.She picked up his phone and it was from Charles principal.She wondered why she was calling after she had expelled her son. She reluctantly picked it up."HELLO, Mrs. Starius, please forgive me for my behavior yesterday," the Principal voice came through the phone, laced with desperation.It seemed so awkward and like she was under a threat."I was completely out of line, your son didn't deserve to be expell. Please, please accept my sincerest apologies."Elena was confused by all this and asked, "so, my son can start school", that was all she cared for."Yes, yes… right away, without any delay", she hurriedly stated, Elena bid her goodbye before hanging up. She sat there confused for some moment then stood up to wake Charles up. She was surprised to see Charles all dressed up in his un
As Kyle approached them, his eyes lit up with a warm smile, and he embraced James, greeting him warmly. "Hey, friend! How's it going? You didn't inform me you would be coming here?" James returned the gesture, and they exchanged a few pleasantries. It was clear they knew each other well. Meanwhile, Tracy leaned in close to Alexander, a sly smirk spreading across her face. "You see, you can never secure a job here, never?" She whispered. "You'll have to apologize for what you did to James the other day. Otherwise, you don't stand a chance." Alexander stood composed as he dipped his hand into his pocket. Kyle turned his attention to Alexander, "And who do we have here?" "Just a man from a poor background seeking employment," Alexander stated, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. "Really, from a poor background? He must be dreaming then," Kyle scoffed, looking at Alexander with disgust. Alexander remained composed and decided to play along. With a casual tilt of his head, he calmly as
Mr. Evans bit his lip after noticing he shouldn't have said that; he stammered, unable to give an answer."I asked who he is?" Kyle demanded, very curious."He… is the new Director of the company, appointed by the President himself, and you just disrespected him!" Mr. Evans scolded him.Kyle's eyes widened, his eyebrows shooting up in shock, as his mouth hung open in disbelief. His face turned pale, like a sheet of paper, as he took a step back, his hands raised in a defensive gesture. "Wh-what?! The new Director?!" he stuttered, his voice trembling.Mr. Evans' face turned stern, his eyes blazing with anger, as he took a step closer to Kyle. "You have offended the wrong person, Kyle," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "The CEO himself is furious that the person he appointed was humiliated. And for that, you will be sacked."Kyle's eyes darted around the room, as if searching for an escape route, his face etched with panic. His lips trembled, and his voice was barely audible as
Elena's hand hovered over the door handle, ready to exit the car, already in front of her home, when her phone suddenly pierced the silence. She hesitated, eyes narrowing at the screen displaying Jane's name. With a slight furrow of her brow, Elena answered, her voice cautious."Hello?"Jane's excited voice burst through the line, words tumbling out in a rush. "Elena, why are you! The man is here, he is waiting for you, And he's about to meet with the President! They are already waiting for you in the five-star restaurant."Elena's expression transformed, her eyes widening in surprise. "Really, but it's late already.""Elena, remember how you really need this, please come very fast," Jane motivated her. "Okay then, I'm on my way.""Be quick," Jane said before hanging up. Elena exhaled as she rested on the car sofa, she was exhausted already. Then, she brought out her phone to call Alexander and told him about it. But it was not going through. She tried again but still to no avail. S
