“Mr Alec, reporters are outside waiting for an interview. The policemen are around asking for you. Don't you think this is getting out of hand?” Harrison asked in fear. At the moment, customers seemed to have drastically reduced because of the fear of being around a killer. It affected the workers who seemed to have a bit of fear within them but they still put on a fake smile. “Have you found out who started the rumors?” Alec asked even though it seemed like everything would favour him. Now, he would be popular because after everything, people would see him as a wealthy magnate!“One woman who preferred to be anonymous but I finally found out her name” Harrison replied. Of all things, he was sure that his boss was not a killer. He saw through people. *Which is?”*Just Sophia but I couldn't find out her surname. Apparently, the former owner of the store is missing and ..”Sophia? She wouldn't stop being crazy? What was so special in moving on? Wasn't she the one who rejected him?
Alec instead switched on his phone to check out what was going on in the store. He had made sure to have this connected the previous day after everyone at work at left. He got to see what Debby that Debby was actually busy filling out some documents while she was working on her phone. Suddenly, the door of her office was knocked on twice. Debby looked up and released a sigh as she checked the time. She did not realize that the time was far spent. All because the old manager has done a lot of atrocities just to embezzle money, it became a toll for her. In fact, it was a double work for her. “Please come in” She said, exhausted. “Miss Debby, how are you feeling?” Two mischievous workers asked at the same time. She looked at them suspiciously. “What do you want?” She asked. “Relax! We haven't come here to fight you. You see, before you came, we all have ways of doing this here. In fact, some things were boycott just for us.”“Okay, so, why are you telling me this?” Debby asked.
"Oh me? I just got a nice job here while my girlfriend is flirting out with a big boss just because she wants to attain the position she so much desired!” Her boyfriend said. “I am not a girlfriend of a crazy man. You think I would dense enough to still be with a man like you?" Debby asked and scuffed. Definitely over her dead body!“Watch your tone, young lady. I may be forced to do what I want to do right here with you since your little husband isn't around to save you!” He said. Her heart thumped hard in fear. She knew that she was definitely in trouble and seemingly true, Alec wasn't around. “How did you know that I work here?” She managed to ask. “A lot of diggings about you proved that you would be here. Now, listen to me. If you love your life so much, desist from that crazy man or else, I will kill you!” He threatened. Debby looked at him for a while. She was scared but then, mustered the courage to lock eyes with him. “What are you?”“The man who can kill you! You be
“Mr Alec, we would appreciate it if you let us know where you were during the time of the incident” Tim Welsh said as he brought out his notepad. “I was at the man's store” Alec said. The policemen looked at each other and Alec knew that it probably confirmed their doubts that they killed him. “Why were you there? I am sure that you probably know that you are being suspected as the killer of the owner of that store, right?” Tim asked again. “Of course I do but don't you think that they are just assumptions since they have got nothing oh me?” Alec asked. “Yes, I know but you do know that you need to clear your name. I'm sorry but I have to hold you hostage at the cell”“On what grounds?” Alec asked. “Mr Baldwin, do you also realize that people have been doing some diggings and they also probably think that you stole money to buy the hotel, did dirty things all around also.”“Stole money? Mr Tim, I believe that you haven't been doing your work because if you have, you need to pr
“Debby is in danger” Alec sprang up as he walked out of the office and rushed towards the car, not caring about the reporters and everyone who wanted to meet with him. Was this Sophia's hand work? She would definitely pay for this! He thought as he drove off speedily, leaving behind other cars. Ten minutes later, he rushed out of the store while everyone lowered their head even though they had a lot to say. They didn't understand what he was doing at the store at that moment. Even at the store, just because of the scandal, they had lost some customers under the disguise that they couldn't buy goods from a criminal. “Debby, are you okay? Can you hear me?” “My boyfriend found me. He did this to me. I don't want to work here anymore. It wouldn't take long before Julia finds me” She said weakly. “After this, they won't dare to harm you again. Just to make sure that you are fine, let's go to the hospital”“The CCTV footage. You may not see it here when you want to get it” she said a
“Huh?” They said in fright as they turned around in fear only to see Alec look at them coldly. “What are you doing here?” He asked again. “We… I…” “We were asked to conduct a search to…”At that moment, his phone rang. At first, he didn't want to pick it up because it seemed to be an urgent call when the person called him twice. “What are you looking for?” He asked again. Then, they looked at each other and lowered their heads. “We were only following orders sir” They said and rushed out of the room leaving Alec in shock. After all these mess, he decided that he would fire them all and recruit other people. Then, Alec's phone rang again. It turned out to be the doctor in charge of Debby's case. “Is there a problem?” He asked as he walked towards the CCTV management room. “Good afternoon, sir”“Get me the footage for yesterday's event. I'll like to check out something” He said while one of the workers stood up. “I'm sorry, sir but we found out that it has been deleted already
“Just break up with her and everyone will be fine” Alec said and walked away as he thought of all the hardships that Debby had gone through because of him. “Is it bad for me to still fall in love with my girlfriend all these while?” He asked. The problem wasn't even him asking but the way he yelled that few passer-by looked at him like a go. “If you still love her, then, you need to go through the normal way of asking her out but recently, you've been nothing but headache to her lately and I think that it's best if you stay away from her” How can you claim to fall in love with a woman and you made her land in the hospital? Wasn't that craziness? Alec thought. “Who are you to tell me what to do? Are you that perfect or what?” He asked again. Alec realized that he had nothing else to say as he drove off, leaving him in total shock. The man scuffed. “Just because you have money, you think you can oppress me? How dare you change Debby against me?” He thought. To be honest, his gir
“What do you mean?” Alec asked. Was he truly in love with Debby? Was his affections for her just purely an employee and an employer? Alec wondered as he looked at Harrison. Few minutes later, the headline news popped in and Alec smiled as he looked at the headlines. “CEO of St Louis hotel wrongly framed in the murder of popular store owner”“Sophia X found guilty and wanted!” At that moment, the system beeped a notification again. {One pointes seemed. Earn money points and stand to win a new gift}Alec smiled. Now, all that remained was for him to catch those maanger and security man who had embezzled so much money. “It's just too much. I mean, you tend to create so much time for her and. ..”“Is that a part of your work also?” Alec asked while he lowered his head and smiled. He could see it in his boss eyes. Alec was in love with her or was he shy? Harrison thought and was about to walk away when he stopped and turn around. “Mr Alec, tell her…”“Go!” Alec said, pretending to be
