“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
“Mr Alec, have you forgotten that there is no network in the countryside? I don't know how to reach you”“What happened to writing letters and sending them to the nearest post office? At least, that's okay, right?” Alec asked. “It's just a bit stressful” She said and smiled sadly. “I'm sorry that my mother and sister misunderstands everything that is going on. They thought I am into you.” Just as he was about to give her a response, her phone rang. “Mom, you called me” “Yes. That boyfriend of yours threatened me just now. You had better break off with him because you are not going to be together anymore. I hope you have told him that?”“Mom, did you go to his house? He would never try to threaten any of my family members if you do not cross his path”“Are you trying to tell me that I am telling lies? Ever since you started working for that man, you have changed a lot. You have a chance to correct all of your mistakes now and that is why I am taking you to the countryside!”“My bo
Alec smiled and checked his phone only to see the video sent to him by Tim. On checking the video, he was surprised to have seen what he had arrested Sophia for. However, checking through the video, Alec had discovered that it was none other than Agnes. This was definitely her hand work. However, he did not have her time yet. He would show her what exactly it meant to disobey someone higher than her. Then, Tim's call came in again. "Mr Alec, I have been expecting your call but I haven't seen it. Is there anything you want me to know?""Not yet" Alec said curtly. “Do you have anything to say about the video, Mr Alec?” He asked again. “Of course, not. I would stop by your office tomorrow. Then, we can talk about this video”He said and hung up. “I hope everything is okay, Mr Alec?” Debby asked. “Of course. I will like to leave now. If there's any issues, you can also let me know”That moment, he came out of the ward while Hannah pretended to have fallen asleep. Taping her l
“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
