Chapter - 37
"The second suggestion is---" Alex paused for a while and looked at everyone in the room.
"Oh Alex, you are so dramatic at times," Karen said, smiling, but it was far from assuring with the cracking of her knuckles.
"Sorry, I just wanted to grab the attention of all of you," Alex said, giving her an awkward smile.
"For the nth time, Alex. You have all our attention for the last ten minutes. Don't think just because you came up with a decent pitch, I won't crack your skull open. I won't hesitate for a moment if you piss me off anymore. Now tell us what's that second idea of yours is," Karen finally lost it.
"Okay... Okay... Just hear me
Chapter - 38 "Don't be nervous, Alex. You are going to do just fine," Jennifer said when she saw Alex walking out of the meeting room, fidgeting his fingers. "Yeah, as long as you don't infuriate our CEO," Ellaine said, walking towards them. "Is she short-tempered?" Alex asked, getting worried about his presentation tomorrow. "I won't go that far to call her short-tempered, but she is especially strict with the male employees, whatever measly number of them we have here," Ellaine told him. "Was she dumped by an employee of hers?" Alex asked curiously. Alex had this innate interest in gossips. He was only a week old in this company, but he knew what
Chapter - 39Soon the two of them reached the parking lot. Karen reluctantly followed behind Alex only to see him getting on a bike. Imagining herself sitting behind her subordinate, she felt a bit disconcerted about it.'What if the other employees or department heads saw her? It won't take long for the news to spread in the company. The one thing Karen kept herself away from was scandals, and she didn't want to be a part of any gossip.'"Alex, I think I will just get a cab home. There is no need for you to trouble yourself," Karen said as she turned around to walk back to the elevator."Why? You were okay with the idea of me dropping you home moments ago. What happened?" Alex asked, confused.
Chapter - 40 Having committed a crime punishable by prison time, Alex was driving his bike like crazy way past the speed limit. His heart was pounding so fast, not because he was being teased by a couple of nibbis, no… he won’t mind that right now, but because he was scared shitless right now. He was so afraid of the consequences that his heart might end up bursting out of his chest at any moment. He has not stopped cursing himself from the moment his lips touched those soft cheeks without his approval. Alex was asking himself the same question, over and over again, 'Why would he do that? Why?' But when he remembered that moment, he could not help but smile. As soon as Karen looked up to point out her apartment, Alex wanted to look in the direction she pointed. But before he could look away, he was dazzled by the mesmerizing sight in front of him. As the soft moonlight fell on Karen, her white, soft skin, glowed, looking even more enchanting. Alex could not hear what she was saying
Chapter - 41It was a fresh, new day, and everyone was hoping for a great day ahead, but there was someone who was freaking out right now. It was none other than Alex.Alex, when left home, was brimming with confidence and enthusiasm, but the closer he got to the company, the more nervous and miserably he felt. It got even worse when he saw a police car parked right outside Theation. He was about to turn back and run away with his tail between his legs when he saw one of the police officers help a senior citizen cross the road.Before heading to the PR department, Alex thought that talking to Susan might help him calm down a bit. So the first thing he did after getting on the elevator was to get off on the ground floor and head towards the reception. But Alex didn't find Susan anywhere. He looked a
Chapter - 42Listening to the screams, all the ladies in the office rushed towards Alex's desk only to stand gawked at the scene in front of them.Karen was groaning in pain while she lay on Alex's chest. On the other hand, Alex had his hand all over her butt. Karen could feel Alex trace his hand all over her butt, leaving her flush red with embarrassment. Karen wanted to stand up, but she had no idea how she was going to face her subordinates standing right beside them. But it was not just Karen in the pickle, Alex too was having a reaction. He could feel the softness of her breast on his chest while his hand was on her firm ass. Alex wanted to give her ass a little squeeze, but with the incident of the previous night still vivid in his mind, he held himself back."Are you going to help?" Alex ask
Chapter - 43When they arrived for the meeting, the room was already filled with those from other departments. The meeting room had a layout with an inner circle of seats for the CEO and the department heads of the company, and an outer circle for their respective aides. There was also some sort of balcony above the meeting room, partitioned by a glass window, where some old men dressed in blacks, looking all gloomy, and grumpy were seated.Alex guessed that they must be the board members here to gauge the progress of the company.Leaving Alex behind, Karen sat on the seat which read 'PR head' in the inner circle. Alex, on the other hand, found a seat in the outer circle along with others. He was the only man among the other aides present there and one of the two men in the room.
Chapter - 44After everyone who was a nuisance had left, Jessica gestured for Karen to continue. Getting the green light from Jessica, Karen, in turn, gestured for Alex to come forward.Alex stood up, and with the USB in hand, walked up to the presentation screen. He plugged in the USB and was ready to go when commanded.Seeing that the unpleasant man who was staring at her throughout the meeting was with Karen, Jessica was surprised. She bent a bit towards Karen, who was sitting beside her and whispered, "Who is he?""You don't remember him?" Karen was surprised by Jessica's inquiry, "You were the one who passed him during the interview a few days back. He is interning in my department," Karen told Jessica.Now Jessica knew why she felt that Alex's face looked a bit familiar."So, is he the one who is going to do the presentation?" Jessica asked, certainly not believing i
Chapter - 45** Ding!!The elevator door opened, and a handsome man donned in a colourful patterned suit, wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat on his head, was standing in front of them with two bulky men, dressed in black on his either side.Alex was no expert in brands, but he could feel that the man was possibly carrying thousands of dollars over his body.The man, on seeing Karen, pulled his glasses down his nose and gave a slow, meaningful wink to her. He waited for Karen to get all excited from that wink and hop into his arms, jumping in joy, but Karen stood there unmoved. She didn't even give the man a second look. Soon the elevator doors closed, and the elevator was on its way up.
