The Devil's Harem Unexpected turn of events
Chapter - 115Inside the courtroom,Soon the half-hour break was over, and the courtroom was once again packed to its entirety. Maybe even more people were in there. Daniel and Alex were soon seated on their seats, and not long after that, the prosecutor also walked in with his head hung low. From the way his lips moved, Alex could easily deduce that nothing went his way during the break, and he was probably cursing them and the Judge.After everyone had settled in the room, the Judge also walked in, dragging those old bones. Everyone present there stood up to greet him.Wearing his glasses, the Judge started to address everyone there, “Case Number 2022/02/K-1017, Abir Johnson versus the State, defendant?” The Judge read out, and through the gaps of his glasses, peeked to spot Abir.Hearing his name, Abir stood up in his place among the audience.“Listening to the arguments from both, the defence and the prosecution, and in light of the evidence presented to the court, the next hearin
The Devil's Harem Back with the ladies
Chapter - 116"You did well," Daniel said as he drove his car out of the parking of the court. They have just gotten rid of the pestering reporters, always wanting more."It is nothing compared to you. I was just the means, but you used it to the max today," Alex tried to be a bit humble."Too much humility can be seen as arrogance. And above all, I had everything served in a platter to me. If I couldn't even use that, I should rather put my degree in the market," Daniel said as he chuckled, looking at Alex. While Alex could only smile hearing him, not commenting anything on it."You know, I have been wanting to ask you something. How did you know that Suzie was involved in all this?" Daniel asked."To be perfectly honest, I did nothing different. I just wanted to be thorough, so I tracked the places Abir and Suzie visited on the day of the so-called incident. Abir was quite easy, but for Suzie, I had to dig around a bit more, and her movement in the last few days, I found them a bit
The Devil's Harem It's a patch up
Chapter - 117"You are here," Karen exclaimed when she looked up, hearing the knock. Alex was peeking inside through the door, "Come in," Karen said, gesturing to him with a wave of her hand.Getting the say-so from Karen, Alex walked in, carefully closing the door behind.With the coffee mug in one hand and the paper bag in his other, Alex stood in front of Karen silently, without saying a word."Take a seat. You are not in the army. Hahaha..." Karen tried to joke, only to laugh at it herself. While Alex just took the seat and did not say anything else. He was also trying to figure out how to make things less awkward."Ahem..." Clearing her throat, Karen adjusted herself, "So, how was it? Working with Daniel, I mean. I hope he did not boss you around," Karen asked, composing herself. Karen did not want to let the silence grow. Otherwise, soon it will make things awkward and hard to continue between them.Karen had long made her mind that it was mostly her fault that day, and she was
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
