In the King's palace, Alex is seen pressing his laptop, searching for ways he could improve his behavior and lifestyle"Hailey Munsch" The name suddenly rang in his mind. And he could loudly hear Lee's advice. Alex shifted his thoughts to his wardrobe, he needed to be organized and composed. This lifestyle was all new for himSitting on this chair, he browsed for a lot of business-related stuff. Alex was feeling sleepy, but he refused to give in, but nature has its way of balancing things. Alex unknowingly fell asleep on top of his work"Young Master, young master" Hannah called, tapping Alex softly on his shoulder"Hmm" Alex replied reluctantly"Young master, you slept off on your files" Hannah with worry written all over her face"What!" Alex jumped up"Oh my God, I slept here with no work done," He said as he bit his lips in frustration"Young Master, it's 4 am, and you have to get ready for the office," Hannah said, stating the reason why she came to the room"It's 4 already!" Ale
The seventh floor was very big and surprisingly, there was only one office on the seventh floor"I don't normally use this office, it's like the heart of this building only that it's not in the middle," Mr. Xavier said, when Mr. Xavier was announced as the heir of his family's business, he already had an office, it was on the sixth floor, he fell in love with the office so much that after his father's demise, he continued using the office, so this office has been vacant for a long time. James had hopes of having it for a long time, but Alex's presence in their family was the death of all his plans and hopes of having Xavier's family wealth and businesses"I love this place, Grandpa. There's enough space" Alex said with a grin, money is indeed good, with money one could leave a life full of milk and honey, one could lay on a bed of roses and bathe with milk instead of water. Alex still couldn't come to terms with the fact that all these things are real and that all these aren't a dream
Abigail woke up to the sound of her alarm, it was 8 am, and she still wasn't out of bed. She shut her eyes when a knock landed on the bed."Come in," Abigail said as she tried to sit up. Maria pushed the door open and came in with a cup of tea and bread. "Good morning miss" Maria greeted"Where's my mum," Abigail asked"She left to work with James," Maria answered"How about my dad?""He is not at home either" Maria answered and dropped Abigail's food on the table beside her bed. "Is there anything else you need?" Maria asked. Abigail raised her head to face maria before abruptly looking away, as she was still very upset. She was sad because of the kind of life she ignorantly lived, she wanted to do something outside her family's name, she wanted to have true friends who would be there for her even if she had nothing. Days back when Alex came into their lives, she wondered why his father left such a wealth and rich life to settle for less, but sitting alone on her bed right now,
After the meeting, Mr. Xavier was impressed, he admired Alex's boldness and smart behavior. Alex already understood a lot of things in the business, and he impressed Mr. Xavier even though he was scared, he didn't show it."You did well in today's meeting, I was impressed with the way you answered every question and cleared all their doubts," Mr. Xavier said"Me too sir, I believe that with little time Alex will do exceptionally well," Mr. Kim said and Linda silently walked behind her boss"It's almost lunchtime, Alex! What do you think about starting our driving lessons now" Mr. Kim said"Ok, that would be nice, I'd finish the work I have when I'm done" Alex replied"Linda, Is there another meeting today" Alex asked"No sir" Linda replied and followed the elevator back to the seventh floor, while Alex followed Mr. Kim outside the building"So where are we heading," Alex asked"Mr. Xavier has a small park down the road, we can use the place," Mr. Kim said"How about, real training? I
Mrs. Darius stood up and left his office, she was paranoid, and she hated Alex the more, but she couldn't do anything. Mr. Xavier had a heart of stone, he wasn't ready to listen to any complaints about his grandson, Alex"That good-for-nothing church rat thinks that he can walk into my son's life and take what rightfully belongs to him," She said as she made her way out of the building. She entered into her car and drove to her friend's place, she didn't want to think about Alex too much"That useless brat can't give me sleepless nights," Mrs. Darius saidHer car came to a halt in a big mansion, Mrs. Darius came to have a cool and fun time with her friend, Mabel."Welcome Ma, I would go and let my madam know that you are here," A short pale looking maid said"Ok, please do so," Mrs. Darius said and sat down on the couch"Hey, you remembered me today," Mabel said, Mabel is a single mother, she has two children, a boy, and a girl. Mabel divorced her husband two years ago, and she got ha
Alex returned to his office, they were new files resting on his desk. Alex picked up the telephone and dialed his secretary's number"Linda! Get into my office" Alex said and immediately dropped the call."Come in," He said, holding the new files he met on his table"What's with these new documents, you didn't mention it," Alex said, this was his first time working in an office and to wrap it up, he's working here not as a regular staff but as the CEO"Sir, these are the documents of the proposal Mr. Munsch made," Linda said"Ok!" He said, still not satisfied with her answer"Mr. Xavier said that I should drop it on your table" He said that when you're done reading it, you can sign it and if there's something you think is unusual in the document you shouldn't sign it, you can bring it to him so that he can see it," Linda said"Ok but why do I have to sign it," Alex asked, he hadn't signed any documents, so he was confused. "Why didn't my grandfather sign it, is he not the one that s
"You can't tell me not to go inside that office," James told Linda and rushed to open the door"But sir," Linda said, trying to stop him, but James refused to listen. He pushed the door only to see Alex inside the office with Mr. Kim"Welcome brother!" Alex said with a crooked smile. He made James walk to his office."You brat..." James said, ignoring Mr. Kim's presence in the room. He was furious"Do you think you can come into my life and ruin it, you think you can take what rightfully belongs to me?" He said"What makes you think I took what rightfully belongs to you, is Xavier's business and wealth rightfully yours?" Alex asked calmly, he wanted to piss James off so bad"Yes!" James said"Then why did grandpa make me his heir, are you trying to say that grandpa doesn't know what he's doing," Alex said. He would have gone to the sixth floor and put James in his place if he tried to humiliate him, but he didn't want James to lose rights to Xavier's business and also lose his respect
After crying for hours, she was devastated. She didn't want to go back to that house where she can't breathe well, the air there suffocates her, and now she's going back to that house where her opinions don't matter at all because she doesn't have anywhere else to go.The day she dreads the most is the day her mother will wake up one morning and decide to marry her out"I hope for that day not to come," She thought as she wiped the tears away from her eyes and drove home Mrs. Darius was having a good time at her friend's place, she was feeling a lot better, but the thought of Alex suddenly came back"Mabel, that boy troubles me and I want to take him out of the picture, I want him to meet his demise" Mrs. Darius said full of determination"I agree, if he stresses you this much then he has to go," Mabel said"How about you offer him a lot of money to run away, to leave your family's life," Mabel asked"Do you think that he's a fool, he's smart, and he's also a graduate, he wouldn't
