The Devil's Harem Alex and Jessica, a silent face-off
Chapter - 118"Here's your coffee," Alex walked into the PR department with coffee for everyone, even Amber. Amber has joined the group with other ladies and was now above Alex in the unspoken hierarchy."Thank you..." Jennifer thanked Alex.Alex nodded with a smile before moving forward. Jennifer was the only one who never asked Alex of anything or tormented him in any way. In return, Alex did everything for her on his own accord while he toiled for others.A week had passed since he had gotten back to the PR department and become the errand boy for Hazel, Ellaine and others again. The storm of scandals that hit Theation had calmed down, and everything was slowly getting back to normal."Hey cutie, Karen was looking for you. You should go see her," Hazel took the coffee from Alex and told him."Me?" Why is she asking for me?" Alex asked as he placed all the cups in front of her and sat on her desk. Long used to the weird names they use to address him with Alex just brushed that off.
The Devil's Harem Alex and Jessica face-off
Chapter - 119"I am sorry, but I can't accept this offer," Alex put the file back on the table and politely rejected the offer."Why? Are you not satisfied with something?" Jessica asked, but from her expressions, she did not look much surprised by his rejection.Karen, on the other hand, was taken back. She had felt that Alex was very well going to accept the offer and continue working with her for a long, long time. And from his earlier remarks, she thought he really would, she really wanted him to, but alas, things took a different turn."No... No... No... On the contrary, your offer would be very appealing to anyone offered it," Alex shook his head, "Just not to me.""But why?" Daniel could not just keep silent anymore. He stood up from the couch and made his way towards them, "If everything is fine, why are you refusing it?""Well, for one, I have never heard any employee sign a contract for a duration. Three years is way too long for me," Alex said as he tapped the file on the t
The Devil's Harem Musing over spilt milk
Chapter - 120As they watched Alex march away, Daniel could not help but sigh. It was such a good opportunity for both Alex and Theation. Alex was getting much more than he would get anywhere, and the company was getting an enthusiastic and hardworking member under their wing. But everything blew out of proportion before he could even comprehend what the crux of the problem was?Daniel had his regret, but Karen felt cheated. She felt cheated by both Alex and Jessica. With an abundance of unanswered questions in her mind, she turned back to look at Jessica, hoping to have a clear understanding of things that transpired in such a short time.Jessica, on the other hand, continued to stare at the door angrily even after Alex was nowhere in sight. Alex had crossed all the lines, and Jessica desperately needed someone to blame when she found Daniel and Karen looking at her, "He was the guy you wanted me to hire? Both of you put forward his name, didn't you? Look what kind of scum was he? Hu
The Devil's Harem All good things, always come to an end
Chapter - 121"Will you all listen to me? Alex is leaving," Amber whispered loud enough for everyone to hear. Alex joined the company with her, and the two of them grew up to become great pals. Though Amber had joined the ladies in bossing around Alex, she was among the first ones after Jennifer to his rescue whenever he was in need or bullied by an outsider. "Leaving where?" Hazel asked as she didn't think much of it."You know, the newbie has got it the best. For all the time he has been here, the number of days he has been in the office can be counted on fingers," Ellaine complained, "And he gets injured every other time. Followed by a couple of more days, chilling at home.""Yeah, I don't mind if he slacks off and does nothing, but I like to have him around.""You all are not understanding. Your dear newbie is quitting. He is leaving this job, this company," Amber shaking her head, lightly massaged her forehead in irritation. These guys can be so dumb sometimes.Now, this was lik
The Devil's Harem He had to have the last laugh
Chapter - 122In the parking lot,Alex was still not over what Jessica said. Her words continued to prick him in his chest. Truth be told, what Alex cared most for was Karen, and he wanted to prove himself in front of her, but that would have helped the company along the line, wouldn't it? How dare that pea brain question his intention? With his looks and sweet tongue, it was not hard for him to have a few of them leave Theation, or at least that's what he thought, but never did that thought cross his mind.Getting out of the elevator, the first thing Alex did was to message Karen, asking her for Jessica's reply.As he paced around waiting for her reply, it took some time, but finally, his phone buzzed. It was Karen who had just replied. Karen wanted him to leave the matter for her to take care, but Alex wouldn't let her. He was ready to spend some time convincing Karen, but, unexpectedly, Karen gave in very fast and sent him Jessica's email. Alex also did not chat with Karen any lon
The Devil's Harem From one branch to the other
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
The Devil's Harem Beginning of a new inning?
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
The Devil's Harem And it's a company retreat
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
