Few minutes later, Alec finally found a place to pack his car and hurriedly came out of his car to help Debby out. Looking all radiant, Alec could see the well decorated hall at a distance. “If anyone asks you what your relationship is to me, just tell them that you are my girlfriend” Alec whispered while she nodded. Of course she knew better than to tell them the whole truth. "You know I will do that""And also, please do not take what you know you can resist no matter how much you are being forced and no matter how much they try to force words out of you, do not say anything if you do not want to""Are your classmates toxic people?" Debby asked in confusion. Was a reunion party not more of an hangout? These regulations seemed too much.She knew all of that but were they important?It did not take so long before they entered the well decorated hall and all eyes darted on them, freezing in shock. “Isn't that Alec, the loser?” Someone whispered. Then, Alec smiled. “Do you remembe
Kate smiled and hung up as she looked at Houston. “It nice to meet the owner of St Louis hotel. I mean, I have always wanted to meet the person and I didn't know it's one of us”.Alec had wanted to talk but decided not to say anything because he had seen her receiving a call earlier which seemed serious the moment she heard that Houston was the CEO of St Louis hotel. “Exactly. One of these days, don't you guys think that we should host a party at the hotel? I heard it's big enough to accommodate everyone and I haven't even been there before*“Oh really? It can” Houston said nervously and looked at Tina. “What do I do?” He asked while she scuffed lightly. “You should have thought about this when you insisted that you wanted to pretend the be the owner of the hotel”“If we had also known that you are the owner of the hotel, we will not have wasted money to book this place that everyone contributed for asides some people that came when they heard there's food” Alec knew that they wer
Just as he was about to say something else, his eyes was locked with Debby whom he saw from a distance. Then, he frowned.“I can't take this anymore!” Debby said and walked towards Adams's direction before Alec could say anything. *Hey, what the hell do you think you are doing?” Debby asked while Adams gasped. “Isn't that Alec's girlfriend? Don't tell me that she's cheating on him?”“Just like the past, does it mean that Alec is not meant to find true love?” Sophia, Greg and Dave also came made a grand entrance inside but because their eyes was fixed on Adams, they did not notice them came in. “Why exactly did Alec break up with Sophia? I'm sure it's all because of cheating and now, the same thing is happening?”“I did not break up with Alec. Things just happened and we had issues” She said, the moment Alec had to stand up to take a call, hoping that he would call Debby as soon as he was done. Everyone gasped again. “Alec is in the middle of two cheaters?”“Please let's not do
“Hey, you're the owner of the driving app, right?” Adams asked. Alec smiled. “You finally got me! How does it feel to be fooled?" Alec replied and smirked. Then, Adams became so furious that he did not have the time to think of the fact that Alec was probably the owner of St Louis hotel as he grabbed his shirt tightly while Debby gasped. “Are you out of your senses?” She screamed out. “But how did Alec became suddenly rich?”Some whispered as they did not seem to care about Alec. “Don't you think everything is fishy? Everyone keeps saying a tale, wanting us to believe that they are truly wealthy when they are not?”“That car seems authentic. It may probably be for Alec”“How can he be so wealthy?”“How dare you fool me? You have nothing and you thought of pulling that stunt on me?” Adams asked in anger and hit Alec who held his face and kept his cool. He wouldn't dare to retaliate because he could get angry in which the system had warned against. “You messed with the wrong per
The next morning after calling Debby severally but all to no avail, Alec looked at himself in the mirror as he dressed up. That morning, he had an interview to conduct and so, he was meant to be around. Then, his door was knocked upon and Harrison came inside. “Have you tried calling her also?” He asked as he checked his phone, hoping to see some kind of message while he shook his head. “She isn't picking up. I suggest you check her at home” Harrison replied. Of course he would not want to see her toxic family. But then, he knew he had to resolve things just before they got worse. Was this perphas an opportunity for him to be with Debby? He thought and sighed as his phone beeped. On the driving app was another review and a customer requesting access. Now that he thought about it, the app did not seem to be pushing in customers after everything Adams had caused. “What's going on?” He muttered as he checked his app to have seen that Adams had yet caused another chaos. He least wo
“Mr Baldwin, you need to see this” One of the interviews said and lowered his head as Alec sat down and checked Adams resume while Adams sighed. He could not understand why he kept falling back into Alec's hand despite how he badly wanted to get his revenge on Alec. “Why are you here?” Adams muttered but unknowingly to him, Alec heard all that he had said. “This is my hotel and I deserve to be here”Then, it dawned on Adams that Alec was probably his cousin's boss and that further confirmed it. The reason she did not want to get married to the countryside man was all because of Alec!He scuffed and looked at Alec, wondering how the turn of events began. “Your resume shows that you schooled at Harvard university? And you even won the best student of the year?” Alec asked. Adams knew that was why the interviews wanted their boss to see his qualifications and if he knew that it had anything to do with Alec, maybe he would have hastened things up. Alec knew the truth already!“Of co
“Can I retake my interview?” Carolina said as she entered the office, looking so livid as she looked up. It turned out that she it was her turn, she had decided not to take the interview because she could not afford to work in the hotel. However, her father had promised her that he will make her become one of the drivers under Alec's driving app with her favourite Porsche car while she grumbled. Looking at the room, she sighed. She could not believe that she was doing this. “Ma'am, it's not your turn. You can wait outside while we call you” one of the interviewers said while Alec, who had been staring at one of the applicant's CV looked up. At first, the face did not seem familiar but on a more lighter note, he looked at her with no expression on his face. “What do you want?” Alec suddenly asked her while she set her gaze on him, remembering where she had met him. “Is this how you all just employ people to be one of your interviewers? In my father's company, we do not do someth
“I'd like to take the decision to get married” Debby began as she looked at her mother and Julia who tilted her head. It did not seem like they ever believed what she said. However, her mother who was so happy that the gifts she had collected would not be a waste, she smiled and held her hands. “I knew you will make the right decision. I know that man is not the right one for you. He does not even have what that man has. Didn't Julia say that he's not the owner of the hotel?” She asked. Even if he was, she was sure that he probably stole a lot of money to acquire it. “Can we not talk about my boss?”“Alright. See, there's a particular store that's functioning now. We should go over there and shop. Take it as a gift from me. what do you think?”The woman asked. Debby sighed. No matter how much it seemed, a part of her wanted to see Alec again and a part of her was disappointed in what Alec had done to her brother. Now, Adams had decided to leave the house. It didn't take so long
