Chapter - 120

As 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

    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

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

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

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.

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

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

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...

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

"Alright, cough it up, you little prying rats. What the hell do you think you're doing, snooping around in other people's business?" The big man roared at them, his voice booming with aggression. "Who sent you? Dogs of Hell?" Damien furrowed his brow in frustration. "Dogs of Hell? Who in the hell are they?" he retorted. "Look, man, like we said earlier, we are not here to cause any trouble. We're sorry if we crossed a line." Alex interrupted, trying to lighten the tension. "Dogs of Hell? That's a funny name," he remarked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Wait... If you think about it, it's actually cool... Dogs Of Hell." The big man ignored Alex's attempt at hu

If we are caught, we won't get out of it easily," Alex and Damien rode Alex's motorcycle and followed behind Audrey's car as soon as she left the house."Oh, come on, Alex! Don't be such a buzzkill. It's not like we're doing anything harmful. I just want to find out more about this Audrey girl and see what she's up to," Damien gently tapped Alex's shoulder and urged him to hurry up."I get it, curiosity can be compelling, but this feels wrong. On top of that, if we are caught, it won't end up with just a beating. Haven't you been on the internet lately? Even looking at girls in the gym apparently is a crime these days," Alex spoke up as he drove."Look, Alex, I get it. But Mom is involved in this. I want to find out every nook and cranny about this girl who appeared out of nowhere," Damien said, "And you get beat up in the process. I am sure it's worth the sacrifice. Don't you t

It was when I was away," Alex turned his attention towards Audrey and looked at her with squinted eyes."You... Don't look at her like that," Martha left Alex's side and walked beside Audrey, placing her hand over her shoulder, "You better not be rude to my friend over here.""If she is not a fraud," Alex mumbled."What?

Audrey put her hand over Martha's hand, which was on her shoulder, and lightly squeezed it, "I am sure he is just caring for you in his own way.""And don't worry, I am sure I will win him over in no time," Audrey looked at Alex and said, looking meaningfully at Alex, "Just like I charmed you.""Oh!

She turned her head towards the sound and saw it was Alex. But then, her eyes went wide open again. When Karen looked down, her robe had disappeared, and she was only covered in the damn white hospital sheet."What the... How... Where the hell are my clothes?" Karen pulled up the sheet, clutching it tight to her chest, and gave Alex a bewildered look."You don't remember?" Alex chuckled, finding Karen's reaction amusing."No..." Karen wanted to deny it, but suddenly everything came flooding back. The moments she spent in Alex's arms not too long ago became crystal clear in her mind."We..." Karen began to piece it together as she looked at Alex with questioning eyes."Yeah, we did..." Alex nodded, understanding what she wanted to ask even without Karen finishing her sentence."It wasn't a damn dream?" Karen still couldn't wrap her head a

    Chapter - 198 "Alex," Karen whispered softly, her voice filled with longing. "I've been waiting for this moment." Alex's heart skipped a beat as he leaned in, pressing his lips against hers in a searing kiss. Their mouths melded together in a fiery embrace, their tongues dancing in a sensual tango. Karen's hand slid down from his cheek, tracing a path down his chest and resting on his firm abdomen. She could feel his muscles tense beneath her touch, igniting a hunger within her. Without breaking the kiss, Alex's hands roamed over Karen's body, finding the curve of her waist and pulling her closer to him. Her body pressed against his, and he could feel the heat between them intensifying with each passing second. Karen's fingers found their way to the buttons of his shirt, eagerly undoing them one by one, revealing his toned chest. Alex's hands moved to the tie of Karen's gown, and with a deft movement, he loosened it, revealing her ample cleavage. He couldn't resist, and his mouth d

She couldn't wait to get back on her feet and leave the sterile hospital environment behind. She was bored and restless, longing for some human interaction beyond the nurses who came in and out of her room with their cheerful smiles and professional demeanour.'Why did he have to leave without a word?' Karen thought about a certain someone, her eyes expecting to see him.And as if on cue, there was a knock on her door, and in walked Alex, her cure. The tall and handsome man, with a pleasing presence around him.Karen had her eyes on him from the moment he joined the company. He brought joy to her ever so mundane life. She couldn't help but be drawn to his fresh good looks. His grey eyes looked so lonely, yet so warm, and the subtle smile that always played on his lips."Good evening, Karen," Alex said. His tone was deep, velvety, his eyes fixed on her as he

It had been more than thirty minutes since he called Damien, but this lazy slob was nowhere to be seen. But just as he was about to call him again, Alex saw a light beaming at him from far away and coming in close.Soon, the light got brighter and brighter before a motorcycle stopped in front of him."What took you so long?" Alex could not help but throw his arms."Don't complain to me. How do you think I got here? I had to tell so many lies because of you."

Panic set in as the man realized that he was in trouble. How did he get here? The man could not remember how he had ended up in this mess. The silence was overwhelming, and the only thing he could hear was his own rapid breathing. "Help! Help me!" The man shouted, his voice echoing off the walls of the building. But there was no response, and the man began to feel even more scared. He tried to wriggle free, but the ropes were too tight. It was a dark, abandoned building out in nowhere, with not a single soul to be seen in miles. But the man did not know as he continued to struggle. He struggled for what seemed like an eternity to him with no luck. He was about
