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. She looked into his face and noticed he was feeling shy. Alex laughed softly as he sat down in front of her. I apologize for that. 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.
Alex woke up the following day, and Andrew's call popped in. "You are late." His voice echoed into Alex's ears. " what?" Alex murmured, looking at the wall clock in front of him. " jeez! What is today?" He asked Andrew, rushing out of bed. "Are you awake now?" Andrew asked with a smirk. He laughed gently, hearing Alex fall. " Be careful, boss,""he said over the phone. "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. He held his head as he was about to walk to the door. He was having a hangover. The liquor he and Paulina had drunk yester
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. "Yes, Andrew, you said you wanted to see me." Alex said, gently taking a seat beside Xavier. "Oh yes. We need some of your signatures here and here." Andrew replied, touching a few spots on the contract book.Alex took out a pen and immediately signed. "
Paulina remained calm, facing Long Eye's strong gaze with a steady one of her own. "I am serious about business; I don't joke around," she responded calmly while smoking her cigarette.He observed her, his eyes narrowing while he thought about her proposal. "What type of business is being discussed?" he inquired carefully, intrigued despite his initial doubt. "And I need to be sure this won't land me in any kind of trouble." Paulina tilted slightly forward, her voice exuding confidence and persuasion. "The type of work where your abilities are appreciated and financially rewarded," she mentioned, speaking softly yet confidently. I've witnessed your skills at the table, but I think there is still untapped potential in you. "With the appropriate resources and connections, we can both gain significant advantages."Long Eye remained doubtful, but a spark of curiosity shone in his eyes. "What are your specific intentions?" he asked, his tone cautious yet curious.Paulina reclined, a sly g
Alex and Paulina came up with a plan to use the information they had to weaken Richard Dickson's power and reveal his illegal actions with a renewed sense of determination. They carefully planned their actions, considering all potential results and circumstances, but first, they needed to infiltrate his inner circle to know what more he was hiding. As the night progressed, they continued to work without rest, fine-tuning their plan and working out the specifics until the early hours of the morning. Although faced with intimidating obstacles, Alex was filled with a rush of excitement. With Paulina with him, he felt they were invincible.Ultimately, Alex relaxed in his chair with a content smile on his lips as the first light of dawn peeked through the windows. "I believe we have them right where we desire them," he stated confidently.Paulina nodded, her eyes shining with determination, in agreement. "It is time to demonstrate to Richard Dickson and his associates that they have cros
Thinking about his grandfather's request and Paulina's response, Alex understood the careful equilibrium he had to uphold. Although he wasn't prepared to enter a romantic relationship with anyone, particularly due to the complicated nature of his circumstances, he recognized the significance of temporarily fulfilling his grandfather's desires. He knew Paulina had been helpful, and they were friends with benefits. He wanted to complicate that, but he was not ready to go see his father without a proper backup. "Paulina, I comprehend your reluctance," Alex started, speaking in a thoughtful manner. "I don't anticipate you to feign anything. However, I do require your assistance in handling this scenario involving my grandfather. He has been firm about me getting into a stable relationship, and Henrietta's sudden arrival makes things more complex. Can you just help out with this once?" Paulina listened carefully, her face expressionless as she absorbed Alex's words. Following a brief per
"We met at a friend's party, but we were acquainted. I was fortunate to meet with her back at the casino downtown." Alex straightened his words and looked at John, who had his mouth wiped with a clean handkerchief. "What do you like about my son?" He asked, looking at Paulina "I haven't really thought about it. I know I love him, and my heart is for him." She replied, gently placing her hands on Alex'sHenrietta read the mood and noticed, but they were playing a trick on John. "Then you don't have a problem getting married to him by the end of the week." John said it out loud with a laugh. Paulina's face changed, and he looked from Alex to his grandfather. " Marry? We are not at that stage yet." "Why not? You just said your heart beats for him. So, why not get married to yourself and be a couple?" He asked, staring at both Alex and Paulina. Alex knew he had to come clean and stop with the pranks. "Dad, I know you are watching out for me and trying to make me be put in the family
