Chapter - 123Unlike any other day when Alex left early from work, he would go on a shopping spree, Alex today headed straight back to his home.After reaching his home, with a heavy heart, Alex made his way straight toward his room, where he spent the rest of the day cooped up inside.Later that day, in the evening, when Martha and George arrived home, they found the house unusually shrouded in darkness."Sometimes I feel like I am working for Mrs Flores. I never know when she is going to come," Martha said as she looked at their house. Lately, Mrs Flores has been neglecting her work at the Rutherfords. No one could guess when she would be there for work or would she be ever there. Despite being the employer, they were the ones managing their schedule on hers."But shouldn't Alex be back by now?" George asked as he looked at his watch. He did not wish to be stuck on Mrs Flores, "It's half-past eight.""You know these corporates. There is no schedule. If they could, they would make yo
Chapter - 124Time flew by swiftly, and it was Monday already. Finally, he was going to join his father to work. It was a big day for Alex, but he was not that enthusiastic about it. And the reason for it was Margaret. For the past few days that Alex had nothing to do, he thought that he would be able to spend some decent quality time with Margaret while he had nothing to do all this while, but she was nowhere to be seen. This annoyed Alex. He left his lucrative job only to spend time with her and, if possible, dig further, but this seductress had gone missing.For the last few days after Martha and George left for work, Alex would spend most of his time peeking over the fence into Margaret's house, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. But it was like the house had been abandoned. He never saw a soul wander around all these days. Dejected, he could only wait, but the situation made him realise something. He still did not have Margaret's contact with him. They had known each other for so
Chapter - 125"But what did you do before coming to this city?"Alex had this thought for a while now, but he never asked. George was not a native of the city of Elenor. He was not born and raised here, but about ten years ago, the Rutherfords shifted here. Alex knew this part of the story, but from where, why and what was their life before Elenor? Alex had no idea. And to give Alex credit, he never asked. But now that they were on this topic, Alex had the urge to inquire. That was why he blurted that out.Hearing Alex, the smile on George's face stiffened as he looked at Alex, "I..." George hesitated. He scratched his forehead and looked around, trying to give himself some time. It did not take George more than a few seconds to be back to his usual self. The smile was back on his face as he looked at Alex, "Why do you ask?""Auhh... Nothing in particular," Alex shrugged, "I was just curious. What was your life before Elenor, why did you choose to settle here, and where are you guys
Chapter - 126The room went into a frenzy as soon as George finished. Just because his son came to work in the company, everyone was being gifted a trip? How awesome was it? What followed was thunderous applause and cheers enough to bulldoze the building.It took a while and some effort from George to bring the room back to silence.Finally, when everyone had stopped, George waved his arm and picked up from where he stopped, "I know you guys are excited but hear me out first." George looked around and said, "Me, My son, and you guys, we won't do a single penny's worth of work this whole week. You guys are going home right after this meeting. Discuss within your respective departments, and let us know by tomorrow your preferred destinations."George paused and took a deep breath, "Each department can decide on its own destination, so you don't need to worry about the limited choices, but you can only join your department during the trip. So choose your destination after giving it some
Chapter - 127At the airport,"Uummhhh... That was tiring," stretching her arms, a girl said as she stepped out of the airport and stopped. Another girl also came and stopped beside her, looking around for someone.As the two girls stood alongside each other, the men passing by could not help but steal second looks at them. Wearing long, loose skirts with floral patterns and straw hats to protect themselves from the blazing sun, the two girls looked amazing. Too bad that they were wearing masks so they could not see their faces, but one could not deny that their body must be amazing."Where is my brother?" The girl on the left asked.The other girl looked behind and, as if searching for someone, said, "He was picking up the luggage. He must be out soon.""Ugghh... That good for nothing kid," the first girl said, irritated, "Doesn't he know that it's harmful to beautiful girls like us to stand in this burning sun?""Are you sure it's alright to have him lift all that luggage?" The othe
Chapter - 128"I don't mind joining your company if the conditions are good enough," Veronica flirtatiously looked at Alex and proposed.Now, this came as a shock to everyone present there. Everyone from AR had already recognised Veronica. If Abir was one of the rising stars of the industry, Veronica was already at the top, at the peak of her career. If Veronica were to join the company out of nowhere, it was surely going to take everyone in the industry by surprise, and the company's shot to fame was guaranteed.But when they registered Veronica's words, one doubt popped up in their mind, 'Why?''Why would someone like Veronica want to leave a company like Theation and join AR? It made no sense.'Alex, on the other hand, was confused as well. Not because of what Veronica said, but because he could not identify the girl in front of him. Why would she constantly budge him?Though he had worked with Theation for some time, he was not a movie buff. Alex was more into sports, particularly
Chapter - 129"This spot should be good," Veronica said as she swirled around in excitement. They were a couple of miles away from the shore, surrounded by reefs and corals. Being an A-class celebrity had its perks as well. Veronica had spent a lot of time travelling around the world, exploring places and enjoying her heart's content. And among everything, underwater diving was something she relished the most.Jessica and Abir, on the other hand, were still not sure about this whole going under the water thing. Jessica was here only because she succumbed to Veronica's emotional blackmail, while Abir had no other choice, to begin with."Are you sure?" Jessica asked, "Look at all these rocks. What if I were to smash my head into one?""Chillax girl..." Veronica said as she put on her goggles, "Trust me, I know what I am doing. Just follow my lead," Veronica said and jumped off the yacht.Watching his sister jump off without any fear, Abir also followed and took the leap of faith. Soon,
Chapter - 130"Shut up... Not a word... I don't want to hear a squeak of your damn mouth. Just because you can't have me, did you think it was a good opportunity to feel me?" Brimming with anger, Jessica asked, glaring at Alex.Alex was still in shock over that slap, but Jessica had definitely succeeded to enrage him, "If you are so concerned about your hymen, why are you walking around shaking that thicc ass of yours, arousing desires? Chee... Acting all pure and innocent," Alex said, spitting in front of her. He knew she was implying to him feeling those breasts and kissing her, but it was because the situation asked for it. He had no hand in it."You..." Jessica did not think that Alex would simply put all the blame back on her."All you do is... YOU this, YOU that!" Alex said, trying to imitate Jessica, "Leave... I don't want to ruin my mood, staring at your face," Alex waved his hand, shooing Jessica away and turned his back on her. He had no desire to argue with Jessica."Fuckin
