"Are there any other things you require?""No, that's everything for now, Andrew."

Do you know we are still in a relationship? I haven't called it a quit with her yet. She loves me and I know that. " Simon said adjusting himself in front of Alex [ SMILE ]" You think I care about what you do with her. If the lives you like you claim them she wouldn't try seducing me.

Paulina leisurely walked out of the bedroom while Alex remained on the bed, experiencing a blend of contentment and bewilderment. He couldn't get rid of the sensation that this interaction with Paulina was more than just a brief affair. However, he set aside those thoughts temporarily and swiftly put on his clothes. He smiled gently as he rubbed his hands over his rough hair. He was having a nice time with Paulina. Descending to the dining room, Alex saw Paulina at the table, drinking water. As he walked into the room, she glanced up at him with a sly smile."You finally chose to come out of hiding, huh?" She playfully mocked, lifting an eyebrow.

I just needed one minute to gather my thoughts.Paulina smiled, reclining in her seat. There is no need for an apology. "With a wink, she mentioned that she was accustomed to rendering men speechless." She said s

Alex walked briskly into his room, came back with an envelope, and gave it to Paulina. She looked at him and said, "What is this?" She asked. "Open it and see for yourself," Alex replied. Paulina went through the content and saw that it was his father's last testament. "What do you plan on doing?" Paulina asked. "What do you mean by that weird question? I am going to bring all of them to justice. Everyone fucking last one of them." Alex said this with his face running red and his voice laced with anger. He didn't remember much about his parents, but he knew they loved him."Why don't you let the police do their job?" Paulina looked at him. "How do I know the police are not in on any of this? For all I know, they might have aided in covering this evil act." "How do I come in? I am sure you sort me out because you know that I can help you out with your revenge." Paulina said, gently covering her open chest and revealing her two breasts. "I need a good computer operator and a tracker.

"Just give me some hours. I will be down there with you." Alex said he was taking off his pants. " hours? I am sorry we don't have hours, Mr. Alex. The Richmonds are here, and we are officially launching the project. We need you to be here as soon as possible." Andrew replied and cut off the phone. " God! Can he stop doing that?" Alex shouted in frustration, hitting the bathtub. He quickly got dressed and looked at himself in the mirror. Alex smiled gently, seeing he was ready for the day's work.

Alex looked back and saw Henrietta looking at him. He was fueled with rage. "What did I tell you? Are you stalking me right now?" He shouted in anger, making Henrietta shake visibly. She had never seen him that angry before. "I wasn't stalking you. Andrew sent me here to call you." Henrietta looked back at him, a little shaken up. " Really? I am sorry, I snapped. I was having a serious conversation with one of our business partners." Alex lied and wondered why he had to lie to her. "Tell him I would be with him soon." He said he was just picking up his phone. He looked at Henrietta as she walked out of sight and looked back at his broken phone. "Fuck!" he said, gently rubbing his hand over his hair. He walked back into the company.

Victor was just packing his things when he heard a gentle knock at the door. "Hello, who is it?" He said he was gently walking towards the door with his pistol.

Joe asked, looking back to see if Victor was really talking down on him. "Are you Victor?" Joe asked, dipping his hand into his jacket.

"Paulina has the document." Alex said it with a happy face. "That is good, but don't tell me you are going to give the documents to Xavier." Andrew's face turned pale. The two men stopped talking and looked at themselves. "I haven't thought much about it. I think the fake document you gave me might come in handy, but then what would you do if Xavier knew it was a fake? Then I would be risking the children's lives for a piece of paper." Alex replied "Listen to me, Alex Davis, that document isn't just any document, and it is definitely not a piece of paper. It is a lineage of business passed to your grandfather and was supposed to pass to your father and then finally to you. The document is the secret of mining and how to make your business excel. I think you need to decide what you're finally going to do with it when it gets back into your hand." Andrew advised as he stepped outside his study room. Alex sighed, knowing what Andrew said was true. He needed a plan that could work witho

The tension was high as they took their seats. Paulina immediately took out her phone and called Alex. "I think you might need to stall for some time, or better yet, come down to Maimi. It looks like Henrietta doesn't have the documents." Alex rubbed his hands over his hair gently as he listened to everything Paulina was saying. "I can't come down to Maimi at the moment. I need to sort out what is going on here." Alex replied "What about Henrietta?" Alex added "She is right here with me." Paulina replied, passing the phone to her. Henrietta shook as Alex spoke to her, and Paulina looked at her and wondered what Alex said to her. The line was cut off: "I can help you find him." Henrietta looked at Paulina. "You mean Simon?"
