“I am okay. It's just that I can't believe this is happening to me. What have I done to deserve this? All I did was show him love and all he could think of was cheat on me?” Hannah asked. “Mr Alec, I treated the matter at the store as urgent and some people have decided to come for the interview”“Right now?” Alec asked. “Can I be your manager at the store instead? I'd love for a fresh start by being so simple. Even if I want to get married again, no one would know my past or anything about me unless I open up to them” Hannah replied. Harrison looked at Alec. Whether an old friend or not, he was not sure if she would be trustworthy like the past. “Hannah, you would have to go through the normal process.” Alec said. Harrison shot a glare at his boss playfully. He never did that for Debby and now, he wanted to do that for his friend? It was really true that you would be willing to break rules for your friend!“What's the process all about?” “You would come for interview and we wou
“Does this mean that you can not suffer with me? What if I tell you that I am ready right now?” Alec asked again. At this moment, it seemed like Alec really irritated her! She did not love him again. Hannah knew that everything was just a trap to prove whom exactly she was but her friend was not seeing any of these. "Alec, can you just let it go? I mean, You too, babe" “How can I suffer for you? Do you know what I had to go through in the hands of my past lover?” Gracie said instead, ignoring what her friend was saying. “Do you have any investments already?” Alec asked. Hannah's friend however found that questions offensive. Did he want her to work while he played? What was she? A working machine? She was not sure that she could do that for any man!Women were born to be loved while men worked. That was always the law. “Why? So that you can leech off me just the same way my friend's husband had done? If you think that would happen, you lie! I will never let that happen. I am sha
“Wait, is our boss cheating on Debby already?” A staff member asked the moment she had seen Alec and Hannah together. They couldn't believe the sight they were seeing as they watched the both of them chatter. Alec however did not see anything bad in having to help his friend look good. "It looks like it. That man really is so shameful. I can't believe he can go towards this extent of betraying our friend?" “Rich men are so crazy!”“What do you mean by rich men?” Hannah's friend asked. She had been listening to the gossip for a while now because she could not believe that she fell in love with the wrong man. “Our boss has fallen in love with another man and chosen another woman” They both said absentmindedly They still had a boss? That Alec was a pretender! How could she fall in love with someone like him when there was still another boss who was the owner of the hotel? All of her dreams would definitely come though if she met with him. Gracie, Hannah's friend, had thought and sm
“Get into the car. I'll take you somewhere nice” Alec said the moment he used his remote to jerk his car back to life. “Where's your car?” Hannah asked. She looked around the whole packing lot only to see that it was just an expensive car there. She did not think that it could belong to Alec.“It's right in front of you.” He said and got into the first seat. “Alec, this is your car?” She asked while he nodded. Her eyes widened in shock. Where on earth did he get so much money to buy a lot of things for himself?“Of course. You seem to be in a state of shock” Alec said and chuckled. Of course, why won't she? Even she that came from a very wealthy background could not afford to buy that kind of car. She was never a fan of cars but her husband had inspired her a lot about them. Now, she could see the beauty of the car.“Did you win a lottery?” She asked again. “You know that I am not into any of that. I prefer to work very hard and as everyone knows, hardwork really pays a lot” He
“Really? I would also love some clothes. I need a change of appearance also”“Bills on me!” He said and stopped by the store. However, the moment he packed his car and got out alongside Hannah, he was shocked at what he saw. Everyone seemed to be in an orderly manner as they all did their work in a dillgent manner. The last time he came here, it was not like that. “Are you okay? You look like you just saw something”“No, it's fine. We can go inside already” Alec said and smiled, believing that it was probably Harrison's work since he had come around to work as a manager for a day and he had the epitome of a leader. Expecting that the Manager's door would be locked and the assistant manager would take over, Alec was shocked to have seen Debby(the other rival) in the office. “What the hell is going on here?” Alec asked in surprise as he looked at Debby. Hurriedly, she lowered her head. “Mr Alec, just as you have seen, I have the epitome of being a leader and just while you were
“Mr Alec, please don't do this to me. I know I have offended you but I am sure that you have once been in my position in the past”Debby began. “For you to have desperately want to be the manager, it only means that you have other intentions in mind. Tell me, maybe I can consider you!” Alec said and smiled.Hannah knew that everything was just a trap just to let her say the truth. She knew all of these because she had once been in that position of asking before she had to pretend that she had cancer just to catch her husband. “Would you really consider me? I wanted to get some money because of my father. He is so sick and I thought that being the manager would solve things easier for me but I had intentions of paying back!” She said hurriedly. “Really? You could have asked for a loan”“A loan?” Other workers asked. “Our boss is willing to give us a loan? So, what if we do not pay it back or one of us manages to escape with the money, what would happen by then?” They all thought.
At that moment, his phone beeped. Checking through his phone which distracted him from his thoughts, he found out that Debby had already sent him a text message. “Mr Alec. I am free today. Would you stop by at the hospital today?”Alec who had been expecting her message ever since he had called smiled and sent another message. “Of course. I would be there in few minutes. I would also like you to meet my very good friend”Very good friend? Debby thought and frowned. Was it a lady? Hold on, why was she feeling this way? Was it not just meant to be an employee and employer relationship? She thought.“Alright sir. Should I be expecting you in at least an hour?” She asked again. “Of course” He said and switched off his phone. If it was not because of Hannah's issue, he knew how much worried he would be. “Alec, I've been trying to reach out to you but you seemed busy on your phone”“My girl… my friend actually sent me an important message. I should be at her place in the next one hour
“Alec, let's just leave. Doing something drastic can also tarnish your image” Hannah said and led him out of the store. “I didn't mean to do anything. One thing is that women are often favored in society and so, I understand if they actually take her side without hearing what she had to say” Alec said as he drove to the hospital. "Are you jealous of women now?" She asked and laughed. Few minutes later, they got to the ward. The moment the door was opened, Debby released a warm smile but got reduced when she was met with Hannah. “Hi, how are you doing today?” Hannah asked. She could not see the resemblance between her and the lady who had caused a nuisance earlier. “I'm Hannah, Alec's college friend and you are…”“Debby”“Thanks for the other day, Mr Alec” She said and smiled. Alec nodded as he stared at a particular side of the room only to see that her bags were already packed.“I'm sure you must be wondering why I decided to see you? I would love it if it would be more priva
