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
“Really? If you know whom the owner of this hotel is, then you should go to him.” Alec replied Caro who looked at him with rage. Her father's acquittance, Jill who she knew as the owner of the hotel will not accept this. She thought as she dialled her father's contact. It then dawned on one of the interviewers that she was sure she had seen Caroline so many times at the hotel before Alec became the owner and so, she had caused a lot of trouble. “I know you!” Caro said in anger as she pointed at her. The woman shivered as she looked at Alec, not knowing if he probably had a very bad temper. “Get out of here. This is an interviewing room. You should know this"“No, you should not let her leave. How many candidates do we have to interview again?” Alec asked while the woman shook her head. Apparently, Adams was the last person but this woman was wasting his time.“Who did you say is the owner of the hotel?” “Why do you want to know? Do you think that he will offer you a job even if h
“Babe, you can't go. I promise you that I will take care of everything outside.” Debby insisted just as Alec had dressed in an Italian tuxedo suit and had his hair styled perfectly. “I feel like if I do not not go, it will only make me a coward and I do not want that to happen and so, I have decided that I will go’ Alec replied instead. Even though he had today planned out also, the schedule the system had given him to resolve everything that happened was just a day and he could not just throw that into the mud. “At least, hold on for Harrison to call. He's your worker and he will definitely help you resolve everything” Debby said and in the end, he agreed to stay at home. Meanwhile, Debby's phone had been ringing continuously and just as when she had seen it, she was surprised to have missed a call from her grandfather and an unknown contact. “Grandfather called me. I think it has to do with this issue but I promise you that you have nothing to be worried about because I will ma
"Boss, I will come over tomorrow. I need to call some of the stubborn publishing companies” Harrison said. However, Alec scoffed lightly. He knew that this was the time that some of the publishing team would extort him. “If anyone does not want a sum of a thousand dollars to bring down whatever post about me, I suggest that you just let them do whatever they want!” Alec said firmly. “Did you say you will go face the media team?” Debby asked while he nodded and stared into space. He did not expect that the issue he never wanted to involve the cops had escalated and now, everyone thought he's a killer. Yet, he had just a week to make sure that everything was back to normal. “Of course. I should at least tell them something. If I do not say anything, it will only make me nothing but a Killer and I do not….”Debby shook her head. “You shouldn't go! If you do, it will only worsen things. You could get killed. I promise you that whatever you need, I will let you know. How about I run
I'm worried that my business may be put to stop especially now that I am trying to collaborate with some business partners to build schools as expansion of my business” Alec said almost immediately. “I don't understand why all of these are happening. Have you been doing something behind me and…”“Debby, do you trust me?” Alec asked, a bit disappointed at her. She looked at him for a while and exhaled out. Of course she trusted him but it felt like she did not know him anymore. It didn't make sense that a news would just pop up about him and he wouldn't know the source of what happened and yet, it seemed like he was not saying anything about it. “I trust you but I don't know what to believe about this matter” Debby stated while he looked at her. “Few days ago, some set of people were caught on camera and had stolen the important files of some business associates. How could I let it slide? It turned out that they were working for one Eric and I don't understand”At the mention of th
“You've been smiling all day. Is there something you didn't tell me?” Alec asked as he hugged Debby by her wrist while they watched a TV show.“I met someone that's as sweet as you are and when I seemed to be in trouble earlier, he helped me out” She said and smiled as she remembered the scene. Alec chuckled. “He swept you off your feet also? You know I did that also”Debby laughed shortly. However that was not what she meant. She had met Greg earlier at the grocery store earlier after she had an issue with a payment. However, they had talked about her best interest while they laughed it off over the coffee after shopping and now, he wanted to offer her a job.“Just like that?” Alec asked while she nodded and smiled. Somehow, that did not sit right with him but he knew he could not piss her off since she was in her best mood. “Would you rather work with me instead? I can easily promote you as the director and…”“Alec, you have your business at hand while I also have mine. I just w
“Fortunately for us, grandfather is getting better and I was told that he would be on his feet soon. That only means one thing, the party may hold!” Debby said in excitement the moment she entered Alec's mansion. Alec however did not have his mind settled on what she said but her beauty. Every day, it seemed like she was getting more beautiful!“You're cute, do you know that?” He suddenly asked as he swooped her in his arms and gave her a peck while she blushed. However, Alec's phone beeped slightly. Ignoring it and wanting to spend more time with the woman he loved the most, he pecked her again. “I love you so much, Debby. Promise me that you will never leave me even if you find out something terrible about me* Alec said. Debby smiled and looked at him. “Why on earth will I want to leave you? You mean so much to me and I am definitely not leaving you!” She told him. At this moment, his phone would not stop ringing continuously.“Check out your phone”“I just want to spend time
“It's really nice to meet with you, Mr Greg” Alec said and smiled as he shook hands with Greg who would not stop talking randomly. “Ah, yeah. I have always been anticipating meeting you and that was why I decided to make it a surprise visit and moreover, would you like to have a gift?” Greg asked as he brought forward a beautiful bunny while Alec smiled. For some reason, it seemed weird because they were meeting over some business meeting. However, Alec still decided to collect the bag. “Thank you, Mr Greg. Are you perhaps leaving soon? We should still do some business' together because it is evident that you are more of a pro in this industry than I am”Alec concluded. If he was able to meet up with several investors like him, it would make him richer and so, he could take the woman he loved places which wouldn't be a problem for him. {Kill him. I hate seeing my rival with another system and you know this} The dark system said within Greg but Greg smiled. Now was probably not t
Finally, after ten minutes, Helen and the director were able to enter the mansion while she gasped in shock. For a while, she had forgotten that she was with her husband and so, needed to maintain her balance. It made her wonder how handsome the owner of the estate would be if his house was this beautiful. “Darling, be on your knees!” Her husband had said but she was too stunned to kneel. If fact, she was dazed. The fact that this had always been the kind of setting she wanted in a living room got her wondering if it was a god living there. He definitely spent millions of dollars. Few minutes later, Alec walked downstairs coldly while he held a cup of coffee, his gaze fixed on the woman who had her eyes fixed on the scenery of the living room while her husband tried to control her. “Enjoying the view?” He asked suddenly while they both looked at him. He could see the shock laced on their face while they gasped. “Alec, what are you doing here?” Helen asked in surprise. “Didn't yo
“Let's just get this done if you know you want to hold the party” Helen's husband said as they passed through a short path and was finally able to get Alec's mansion correctly. “Wow. His mansion is way bigger than ours. Is that why he seemed so crazy earlier?” Helen said and scuffed while her husband tapped her. You definitely want to spend the rest of the day here, in cold since you don't want to cooperate. “What do you mean by that? Are you not both here because we want to see him?” She asked. Just then, they walked up to some armed guards while Helen stared at the guards. Somehow, this was the kind of life she also wished for but when she could not even get that kind of lifestyle, she decided to settle for plan B. At that moment, the snow had started to make the weather become so unbearable while Helen embraced herself.“We want to see your boss. He is expecting us”Meanwhile, in his room, Alec, dressed in his bathrobe stared at the tv screen that was connected to what was goi
“We cancelled the order. Can we have our money back?” Helen said in panic as she checked her phone again only to see that her friends were already at the estate. "Hey, I can't just let you make me be on the loss part. This is how I feed my family!" The baker yelled but the couple did not give her a listening hear instead. “Tom, what do I do?” She asked in panic as an incoming call came in. Have you tried speaking with the estate owner? I can't go down like this”She said again. “What about me? What should I do to the cake you ordered? Do you realize that I am here at all?"“Just hand over our money! We are trying to save for a better apartment and we need money. Please do whatever you can to help us and we promise you that we will pay back in whatever way” Helen said in desperation. "You should have thought about that before you ordered for cake. If you want me to hand over the money, you will go to the cops with me. Whosoever wins has the money and it's obviously me because you
