“And where are you going to?” Debby's mother asked the moment she was about to leave her private room. Having heard that Alec was shot, her mind didn't seem to be at rest. Then, she'd realised that the man who had always been there for her also needed her moral support. “Alec…”“I told you that I do not want to talk about him and moreover, you would be going to the countryside today. Of what good is that man to you?” Her mother asked. “It won't take so long and besides, didn't we agree that I won't be going to the countryside anymore?” Debby asked. She had purposely not said anything to Alec yet but let him know that she wouldn't be going on the alumi party day and now, this?“Oh really? You think I will let you end up with that man? What does he have? He's nothing but chaos!”He may not have anything to Debby's taste but he was a good man. Even when Alec had told her that he was not the owner of the hotel but a representative, she still loved him for it. Debby did not really und
“What are you doing here?” Harrison asked in shock as he looked at his boss. Alec chuckled. He got an email stating business and he was meant to pretend on the hospital bed?Alec thought and smiled again. “You don't have to worry about me. I'm all good” he said again while Debby looked at him, without knowing what to say. Everything seemed strange to her because according to what she heard, he was badly injured! Was he a god or an human?Debby knew it wasn't any of her business but she could not help but feel overwhelmed at the sudden change of things. “It's nice to meet you, sir. Would you like us to take about business right now?” Thomas Smith asked and smiled. “Harrison, please take note of what we would talk about and would Debby like to give me few minutes?” Alec asked while she nodded and walked away. “Our proposal is to make sure that about fifty students are able to get applied to our school and we would like to use your hotel as an advertising siege. A percentage of 50%
“I'm sorry about that, ma'am” Debby said and looked at the staff who seemed remorseful for everything that had happened. “How much is the money? I would like to pay for it”“Can you afford a million dollars?” The woman asked and scuffed. “Right, I knew you can't. Poor people always trying to prove what they can't do. Just so you guys know, my clothes are worth two million dollars and the Uber I ordered is five hundred thousand dollars. You had better find that amongst yourself or else, I would burn this place down” the woman threatened. Debby didn't understand how she'd gotten herself into more trouble again as she looked around only to see Alec stare at her from a distance. Then, she closed her eyes as everyone stared at them. “How about I offer to be your ride for the day while I pay off her debts?” Alec asked, thinking that Debby was at fault. “Thank you, sir” The both women chorused. “And who are you?” The rude woman asked while Alec smiled. “Me? Let's just say I am your rid
“Do you work here?” The woman suddenly asked Alec. He sighed instead. He wondered if it would be okay at this rate for him to order an Uber just because he wanted peace of mind. He had enough for the day already and all he wanted was to rest but then, he was seeing something else!“I am a driver. Are you satisfied’’ Alec muttered the first thing that came out of his mind and sighed. “What kind of a driver drives this kind of car?” She asked and chuckled. Then, she walked up to Alec. If she could sell the car, she would make millions of money and travel out! After all, she was sure that he also stole money to buy the car and besides, that was also what she did for a living. So, what was the big deal?“Someone like me. I am definitely sure that at this rate, you may be definitely running late because…”The woman, sensing that Alec may not have the time for her chitchat smiled and walked into the car while Alec drove off. “D section avenue” She said. What? That was far! It was a tw
Alec chuckled. In the past, he would have been so scared on hearing that but now, he didn't seem the least scared as he looked at the woman with scron. She leaned by his window as if she owned him. Alec wondered if he could play with her for a minute so that next time, she would know how to run her mouth. He wind up his glass, making her hand stuck and started driving immediately which attracted the attention of everyone. So, the more he drove slowly, the more she ran with the car because she was stuck. “Hey.. what are you doing? Are you crazy? Let me go!” The woman screamed in fear while Alec chuckled. “You want me to be your driver. What do you think?” He asked and laughed again. “Hey! Let her go! Do you know whom she is?” Someone yelled out in fear. They didn't understand why her ‘driver’ was so crazy!“I will sue you!” She said again. Alec smiled. If only she knew that he was the law himself. Maybe she would not talk that way. “Someone call the emergency unit. A crazy man i
"We don't but since he keeps emphasizing on checking your bag, I think we should do that to please him” Someone said while the rest of them nodded. In fact, they did not like Alec but because the poor seemed to have a niche for causing troubles and they saw him as one, they were willing to do that. The woman panicked and thought of what to do at that moment. She couldn't let her be searched by these men because of Alec, a nobody!“You can't believe this crazy man. He's just after my money because I haven't paid him his salary. Why on earth would I want to steal from a man like him?” The woman asked again. “I just want to know if something like this is not in your bag and then, we would be fine. If you did not steal anything, you have nothing to be worried about, right?” Alec asked again and snatched her bag from her. However, just as the woman was about to collect it from her, her friends held her hand. “Let him do whatever he wants to do. If he tries to steal from you after accu
“Where have you been? Did she get you into trouble?” Debby asked the moment Alec got back to the hotel. However, Alec didn't think of it that way. All he was seeing was a woman who deeply cared for him. “Do you like me?” He asked instead while she frowned and looked at him, wondering what exactly he meant by that. Was there something going on?“Mr Alec, I…”“Alec” Alec corrected her while she tilted her head, wondering why he seemed a bit distant. "I can't get used to calling you by that name. I mean, you're my boss and ...""I used to be your boss in the past. Not now. There is a difference"Hannah, unknowingly to them had been waiting for Alec because she couldn't afford to let him go.“Alec, let's talk” Hannah said softly but Alec didn't seem like he was buying it. After what had happened at the hospital, he was definitely sure that she was not the kind of woman he thought she was. “I have helped you with your deals. Good luck with your divorce. What else do you want?”“I guess
“I do not know, okay? My mother actually wants the best for me and so, I have to as she says but then, it's hard to do something like this” Debby began as she turned around..“Alec, I like you” She muttered. She was not sure she would be able to hold it in anymore, especially seeing that every other people wanted Alec. Alec smiled inwardly but still decided to take precautions just in case she could be like Sophia. “I don't have money. Are you fine with it?”“Why do you think everything is all about money? I just like you and I understand that you are my boss because I …”Alec smiled and placed his fingers above her lips. “Being a boss is not everything. I want to let you know that I am not the owner of this hotel but I was granted a special privilege because I look after the hotel for the owner” He said again. “I..”“The person your mom chose for you is wealthy, right?” Alec asked while she nodded. “He has a restaurant in the countryside and is rumored to also be one of the vill
“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
