(The Next Day)"Young Master, what do you think?" John asked, looking at Alex who was seated on the chair as he showed him something.Alex studied the picture, then slightly nodded his head in agreement. "It's just right. I think we'll go with that." "I..." John was about to talk when a knock was heard, interrupting his words."Come in." Alex permitted. The door of the office opened and the secretary walked in. "Sir."Alex looked at her. "What's the problem?" He asked."Sir, you've got a visitor." She announced."Who?" Alex raised his brows looking at the woman."He said he's Dominic Williams." The secretary replied politely."Let him in." He permitted.As soon as she left the office, John turned to look at him. "Isn't that the Williams?" He asked curiously.Alex smiled. "I knew it would get to this. Those people have nothing to offer, they can't even defend themselves. Let's see what he has for us then."The door opened again with Dominic striding in with an arrogant expression on
"Young Master, I forgot to tell you, the Brooks sent an invitation, there's a banquet being held tonight. Should I just trash the invitation since you're quite busy." John said as he brought out an invitation card."There's no need to trash it, I'll attend it." Alex shook his head collecting the invitation from John. "Besides, what's the purpose of the banquet?" Alex asked."Well I'm not too sure about that, but I think it's for welcoming Dominic." John replied after some contemplation."The Brooks sure know how to suck up to a powerful Force." Alex laughed as he stood up from where he was sitting."There'll be free food anyway, so it'll be a waste not to attend." He continued as he walked out of the office."Let's see how this goes." Alex muttered under his breath as he looked around.The Brooks were one of the main families of the city and were quite powerful. He had been looking for a way to deal with them as they had been trespassing lately, but who would have known that they woul
Alex smiled as he walked into the banquet. Originally, he was hungry so he didn't hesitate and directly chose a seat and began to eat.There was a lot of food and drinks, but the people barely touched the food. Even the drinks were just sipped lightly.Alex shook his head as he watched this scene. Wasn't a banquet called a banquet because it was organized for one to eat? Yet these people here were not eating, rather they were discussing business.Alex shook his head and smiled, he knew he had seen too much. Focusing on his food, he continued to eat, not caring about anything.After a while, he had his fill. Relaxing back on the chair, Alex observed the surroundings with a slight smile on his face. The Williams were sure a force to reckon with as even the Brooks had organized this banquet to welcome Dominic.This was getting interesting, he was going to see how things were going to go. Everyone looked quite excited as they would be able to work together with either the Brooks, or if th
"I'm sorry for the trouble." Alex smiled bitterly as he apologized to Tesla."Mr. Wayne, it's all fine, besides I can see that the kids like me as well." Tesla smiled as she hugged one of Alex's kids as they walked around the park.After he left the banquet yesterday, Alex had called Tesla and made some arrangements to go out with her the next day since he had promised to do so.But then when he got home, he was reminded by his children who told him that he had promised to bring them to the park. As a result, Alex was quite lost and didn't know what to do.So he had called Tesla and explained the situation to her, but then she was quite understanding and even offered to go with him to the park.Besides, much to his shock, his children bonded well with Tesla and were even calling her mother which made Tesla's face burn red."Alright you should go play with your brothers." Tesla smiled as he dropped the child she was holding.The child nodded and ran off in a direction towards his older
"And you are?" Alex turned around to face the person who had just spoken.Turning around, he came face to face with an ordinary looking man who had a menacing expression on his face."Boy, don't you know who I am?" The man sneered as he looked at Alex."Your father didn't tell you who you are?" Alex raised his brows looking at the man with a slight smile on his face."Who the fuck do you think you are?" The man flew into a rage."Chillax bro, you don't need to flare up over something like that, I just asked you a question?" Alex shrugged."Who the heck do you think you are? Do you even know which family I came from?" The man roared."You're nothing but an ant who wants to stand in my way! If you don't apologize to my woman right now, I'll make sure you don't see the sunlight tomorrow." The man threatened."Wow, that's a very interesting threat," Alex chuckled and walked closer to the man."Why the fuck are you coming closer!" The man moved back as he looked at Alex."I'm just wonderin
(THE NEXT DAY)Alex stood by the window, staring down at the street with both hands folded at his back. He had nothing to do at the moment, the cold morning breeze blew on his skin, sending cold shivers to his body.He was loving as the air blew on his body, and he wasn't ready to leave that spot. Just when he was enjoying the air, a knock came on the door. “Come in.” He said, his eyes still staring at the street.John walked in, “Sir, you have a visitor.” He informed him.“Who is that?” Alex asked, not sparing him a glance.“His name is Viktor, from the Addams family.” John told him. A small smirk played on his lips. “So they came.” He mumbled within himself. “Should I let him in?” John asked. “I can tell him to leave if you don't wish to see him.”“No. No, let him in.” Alex permitted. “Yes, sir.” John left to call Viktor in.Alex left the window to his desk, settling on his leather chair. The door opened, John walked in with Viktor trailing behind him. “Sir, he's here.” John noti
Not quite long after John had left the office, Dominic barged in without knocking. “Alex…” he growled.Alex looked up, annoyed. “Why are you here? And is your brain too weak to know that you have to knock before walking into people's offices?”“Who do you think you are? By the way, I have every right to walk in without knocking.” He sneered. “You don't try that shit in my office. Now get the hell back outside and knock like a responsible adult.” He commanded.“Seriously?” Dominic chuckled, finding it quite funny. “You fucking want me to walk outside all in the name of knocking? You're crazy.”“I don't care whatever you are outside, but as long as you are in my company, you don't have a choice. So, I'm going to say it for the last time. Walk outside that door and knock like a responsible adult.” He said, his voice was a bit harsh but calm.“How dare you walk me out of your office?” Dominic remarked.“Because it is my office, and I have every right to do so.” Alex retorted. “Whenever y
It's been a week since the incident between Alex and Dominic occurred. However, things have been going pretty well with Alex despite the workloads he had faced during these past few days, plus finding out time to spend with his kids wasn't as easy as he thought. As the days passed by, things became a lot tougher than usual.Alex stood by the window of his office which used to be a comfort zone for him whenever he was less busy, he would find solace and a moment of peace while staring down at the busy street, watching as people walked to and fro, watching the countless cars that passed by. He had nothing in mind but he looked lost, that one might think he was passing through a lot.Suddenly, a knock came on the door, interrupting him. Without looking, he permitted whoever it was in. "Come in."It was John, and he had a sullen expression on his face. "Young Master," he called."Mm-hmm." Alex replied without sparing him a glance."We have a problem." He announced. It was then Alex turned
