Alex sat in the office with his father in-law who was busy thinking about how to broach the subject that he was about to drop right now. Although it might sound a bit too harsh but it was the truth."I hear that you've returned to your father's company." He started.Alex nodded while assessing his father in-law wondering what he was trying to achieve. He wasn't like other people who were trying to ride him. " Yes, I have been involved in my father's business." "Alright. So what are your plans for my daughter? I know that she's not suffering but I need to know." His father in-law said. "I want her to prosper if that's what you mean." Alex replied softly. He understood where this man was coming from. He would do the same if he was a father and it didn't mean that he didn't trust his in-law.Richard stared at the young man before him. He saw that there was a certain light in Alex's eyes. "I want to help you but I know that your pride wouldn't allow that. I know that there is a breach b
To say that Brielle was embarrassed was an understatement because her face suddenly became like a tomato farm and she grimaced. Seeing the hassle that she was going through, Alex removed her hand from her mother's grip and dragged her toward the door."We have other important things to do." He said and pulled her out of the door.Brielle's face was sour as they walked to the car. "I'm sorry." She apologized. It was the only thing she could do to appease him. It was her fault that he was receiving these insults. If she had stayed away from her family these wouldn't happen."It's fine."Brielle was discomfited because she knew that although he wasn't speaking, he was probably very angry and she didn't want that. It was a pity that her mother didn't care about her well-being and how her home would be. "My family sure makes a big deal in getting you riled up whenever they get the chance and I don't even have what to say to you right now. I'm sorry about everything." "Its fine." Alex repl
Alex was a bit perturbed by that call and he couldn't even help but make it known. While others were busy thinking about how and when they could do everything already, he was thinking ahead. Hearing that his brother had managed to clean his act and get his shit together and even make sure that he employed the right pr to conceal his stupidity. It was an entire surprise and he was worried which rarely occured. Well as far as he was concerned. Brielle noticed this change in him when he returned from his outing. She had been fuming that he didn't have her time until she saw him. He looked like he lost his dog and she was very concerned too. "Did something happen?" She inquired and he just kept on looking at her for some minutes before nodding."Yeah, I'm cool. What's up?" He replied instead and she stared at him. She knew that he was going through something that she didn't see the need to tell him about and she was feeling very fearful."Are you sure?" she replied and he nodded before
Alex resumed at work the next day and saw a few workers staring at him weirdly and hiding when they saw that he was staring at them making him a bit wary. "What is going on, I can see that they are acting weirdly." He asked Martins who also shrugged, meanwhile marking their faces and staring at him to see what was happening. "What do you mean by that? I thought you were conversant with things that happen in the office. Get me the files on the shelf." Alex said immediately he settled in his chair. He had a feeling that something was wrong and it wouldn't be more than one of Liam's bullshit.The subject of his thoughts walked in through the door with a grin on his face. Alex braces himself for bad news. It wouldn't be so shocking anymore seeing that he already knew what was at stake. "So, aren't you going to tell me what I need to know?" He inquired from Liam.He didn't want to give him that leverage over him. If he had something to say then he should go ahead and spit it out becaus
After all that being said and done, Liam had nothing else to say instead he shot a promising finger at Alex. "Don't think it's over because it's simply not." He warned and Alex was more than comfortable in those seats. He would take face slapping his brother over any other chore. This was something that if player well, he would be able to fetch a lot of information. *Yes, brother, of course I won't speak a word and yes, I would not allow anyone, I mean, anybody to come between my work and I. Why are you acting so tired and weak to argue with me. This used to be your best sport those times and I can bet that you're not sorry for your actions." He replied.Liam was a bit angry but was trying so hard to keep his anger in. It was never about the property, it was his brother, Alex who was trying to upset him who made him very antsy and annoyed. His angst towards him reaches beyond boundaries and he would want that many things be set in place at least for a while to build momentum."You lo
Alex cocked his head in an exaggerated movement. He wasn't going to just jump into what he should do when it wasn't time. Also he had to verify that the information was actually correct before he confronted Kate. He didn't believe everything Martins had said concerning her but he didn't give off that vibe."Thanks for the information, Martins. I'll look into it." He shot him a terse smile.What Martins hadn't known was the fact that he had his phone on record when they were busy speaking. All of these were to ensure that there was no misinterpretation of the words and no denial in future.Having worked for the greater part of the day, he decided to close from work before the normal time because he wanted to surprise Brielle. It had been a long time since he went into a store since he reclaimed his position. It was probably one of the things that he lacked truly that made his in-laws think that she was suffering and I didn't blame them because it wasn't as easy as it looked."Oh my goo
Alex drove to Kate's office the next morning without Brielle's knowledge. Having known that Brielle would be a bit jealous if she heard his whereabouts, he decided to be wise about it and that made everything easier for him to navigate. "I didn't know that you would be here so soon I would have prepared something for you, I hope you're not annoyed?" Kate said and he shook his head, there was nothing stopping him from having a meal from her but he didn't want to give her the wrong ideas. Also, he saw that she was a bit professional today and thought that she must have realized her errors and thus couldn't be judged for that as long as she knew what she was doing but others could definitely go a long way if she was able to stop the way things were going at least for now.It was almost as though she was just trying to do whatever she could to redeem herself. What she didn't know was the fact that he didn't hold any grudges against her. "So, I'm good but I'm here on another mission tho
Brock smiled at his friend who was relaxed on the chair and spread his hands across the back of the chair and he stared at him. "May I sit?" He replied and pulled out the chair, plopped on it and made sure that he also relaxed.Sean laughed at the words of his friend."I would have thought that you would try your best to be able to bring something tangible. You could only afford a bottle of wine. That's poor even for you." He replied."I don't know what to bring you, as the wealthy man that you are." Brock replied tiredly. Sean was staring at his friend who was staring at him. "I don't know why you're here. I know it's not because you need anything serious. You're probably here to invite me over for booze. I hope you get past that." He replied heartily while moving his folder away.Brock wasn't really happy by the description because he knew that it was true. "Your perception of me is wrong and I don't know why you always act as though you're any better. Let me know if you don't like
