Chapter - 85
Matthew led Martha inside the building. They walked across corridors and made their way in one of the rooms way back in the building, which read, 'Store Room.'
God knows why but suspiciously, there was a bookshelf in the storeroom. Matthew walked to the bookshelf and slightly pulled a few books one after the other. After he was done, the bookshelf moved, and an elevator was in sight.
Matthew pressed the button, and as the elevator door opened, Martha followed Matthew inside. After they were in, Matthew pressed the red button and continued to do so, for about five seconds.
After that, the control panel switched, and another panel appeared. The manual panel was changed with a touchscreen one with no buttons there. Matthew bent forward and scanned his iris. After the identity was confirmed, a numerical keypad appeared, and Matthew entered some digits. When he was done, the elevator
Chapter - 86"Umm... umm... Alex..." Margaret wanted them to stop, but Alex was in no mood for that."Whatever it is, we will talk about it later. Right now, I am in a mood for something else," Alex interrupted her. He caressed her back over her top, and with a swift movement, Margaret was beneath him."But... uhmm!" Margaret tried to ask, but Alex gave a soft kiss on her lips, "Your mother?" Margaret asked."She won't be home tonight... uhmm!" Alex said and kissed her again, "I was about to head to your home when you gift wrapped yourself to my door... uhmm!" Alex was giving Margaret kisses after every sentence they spoke."Why were... you... coming to... my... Will you let me complete?" Martha, with her hands, pushed Alex a bit away from her, making some distance between them, "Will you stop with all those kisses? You have taken my first, second, third and God knows nth kiss too. Let's talk it out first," Margaret said. Her hands were shaking as Alex's weight was totally lifted by h
Chapter - 87'He is still not here,' Karen looked through the glass window of her office. It has been two days since they visited him at his house, but Alex was still not back at his desk.Well, Karen knew that it might take him some time to be up and running, but her eyes longed to see him. And to be honest, it came as a surprise to her. They have not known each other for even a month, yet these feelings have sprouted inside her heart that troubled her more than they were pleasant.'Am I being rebellious now? It's like puberty is hitting me late, very late' Karen couldn't help but laugh at the weird thoughts coming to her mind.'Unhh... If only he was a bit less of a scum,' Karen thought about her husband. She has already given many chances to that hobo, but that stinking asshole was never, ever serious towards her nor his life.Karen was sinking in depression the more she compared Alex and her husband. Sighing at her fate, she put the file she was holding onto for no reason and made
Chapter - 88**Swishh!!The door opened, and Karen walked inside worried to death about Jessica. Jessica, on the other hand, dressed in the hospital gown, was busy savouring the taste of fruits in front of her.A doctor stood by her side looking at the reports in his hands while a nurse was busy fiddling with the machines beside Jessica's bed.With hurried steps, Karen walked up to Jessica and looked up and down, examining her to find any scratch or bodily harm on her, but to her relief, everything looked fine."What happened?" Karen, when was satisfied with the way Jessica looked, looked for answers, "How did you get into an accident?""Nothing much... Amanda is the one making a big deal out of it. Calling you here for no reason," Jessica said as coldly as ever.Karen knew she was not going to get anything from Jessica. She turned her attention towards the doctor."Doctor... How is she?" Karen asked.The doctor nodded, "She is fine. Apart from the slight concussion, she is good to le
Chapter - 89"Hi, Sam. It's me, bro. Yeah..." Alex was in his room on a call with someone. He was talking softly with the person so as to not let his mother hear it."Yeah... don't repeat the chocolates from the previous days and just go with some flowers and don't repeat them as well," Alex said on the phone, "Yeah, but do keep the note as it is.""Well, I don't know much about the chocolates so you will have to think about it. As for the flowers, we are done with roses and tulips, right? So let's go with Orchids today." Alex said as he rubbed his forehead in stress, "Just leave them outside the door, like always... Yeah, same address. Try not to get seen. I want you to be quick and stealthy." Alex emphasized ton the subtleness of the mission."Thanks, Sam. Yeah, bye... Wait... Wait... Wait... Hello... You there? Yeah... Just wanted to say, bro, I don't know how long it will last, so I need you to keep as many varieties of chocolates and flowers as you possibly can... yeah... Thanks,
Chapter - 90Alex, in a hurry, made his way for the PR department. He was anxious, perplexed and angry by everything that happened downstairs. Alex felt something burning inside of him. So, he had two options in front of him. Either vent it all out or just wait for it to cool down. And he chose the latter. Right now, he just wanted to get to his desk and bury himself away from everyone's prying questions.But there was another problem up ahead. Alex was expecting the ladies to bombard him with questions from the day they visited him. He knew them, and there was no way they would just let it go. There wasn't an occasion when two or more women group together, and they won't gossip, especially the likes of Ellaine and Hazel.Alex was sure the first thing Hazel and Ellaine would have done after they arrived at work after that day would be to gather all the ladies and narrate to them the events with a tinge of spice added to the details from their part.Standing at the door to the PR depar
Chapter - 91Just as Alex walked through the door, there it was, a familiar face in front of him.Alex first saw Daniel in the meeting he attended with Karen. He was the only other male beside him there and the only male to sit in the club of the elite female brigade.When Alex entered, Daniel was on the phone. Daniel welcomed Alex in gestures and pointed at the chair for him to sit."I know, but why won't they let you meet them?" Rubbing his head in frustration, Daniel asked on the phone."They are only charged. Nothing has been proven yet, right? Or they are saying they have some evidence?" Daniel asked."Find it out, and don't panic. I will be there as soon as possible," Daniel reassured the person on the phone.Alex sat there for a while before Daniel finally ended the call and turned towards Alex, "Hi, I am Daniel. I am the head of this, as you can see the extensively busy Legal Department," Daniel extended his hand for a handshake as he introduced himself."I know. I saw you on
Chapter - 92It took them little more than thirty minutes, and Alex stopped the car in front of the police station."Are they both here?" Alex asked.Daniel nodded as he put back the files in his bag."Isn't it odd?" Alex, on the other hand, continued."What is?" Daniel asked."For the two of them to end up in the same police station?" Alex looked at Daniel, confused."What's so odd about it?" Daniel asked again, a bit interested in what Alex had in mind."Well, you see, out of all the precincts, how did they end up in the same one? There is something fishy about it. I think both of them are set-up," Alex said.Daniel smiled, hearing Alex, "That is what we have to find." Daniel said and got off the car while Alex hurried behind him.Daniel pulled out his phone and made a call, "I want both of you to wait outside the police station. I don't want things to turn chaotic. I will handle everything else."Walking inside, they strode towards one of the officer's desks."Excuse me," Daniel go
Chapter - 93"Let's go," Daniel made his way to the car, and Alex followed.Alex hurriedly went towards the driver's side, but Daniel stopped him before he could enter."I will drive," Daniel told Alex."How can I let you? I am here to help you, not the other way round," Alex was reluctant to let Daniel drive."Just do what I say," Daniel said and tried to take the keys from Alex, but Alex was hesitant to give them. It took effort from Daniel to finally snatch them away."Pheww... You have some tight grip," Daniel said, looking at the keys, "Now get in,"Alex could only comply with Daniel's orders.After they got seated, Daniel handed him some files."These are?" Alex asked with a questioning look on his face."Just like I said. So many things happened in the last couple of days. Lawsuits after lawsuits. Both of them ended in the same precinct. All of this can't be a coincidence. Well, I for one, refuse to believe it." Daniel said, shaking his head."Then?" Alex was still unsure what
