They entered the car and stormed off to Polite Shopping Mall. Rex was visiting to know how what he discussed with his accountant went.He had already spoken with her on the phone and informed her he was coming.However, he decided to call Ava too and inform her he would be visiting the BOD firm for a special business talk.He paused the newsletter he was reading and dialed Ava's contact number.After a few seconds of ringing, Ava sounded from the other end of the phone. "Hello, sir, good afternoon," she greeted."Good afternoon, my precious worker, my tantalizing Ava, irreplaceable Ava," Rex praises her.There were a few seconds of silence from Ava's end as she was smiling and felt pampered."All these for me?" she said with a bright tone, showing she loved the pet names Rex called her."Of course, you deserve more than that, dear," Rex responded."Thank youu!" she responded."Anyway, I just called to inform you I will be visiting your side in a few hours, so get everything ready and
"Oh, I understand now. I hope it'll have a great impact on this company," she replied. ""Of course, it's for the betterment of the company," Rex replied."I have to go now," he said."Alright, sir, but... but I didn't receive your call as you promised," she added."Really? Did I promise you a call?" he frowned."Uhm. Never mind, sir," she comported herself.Rex stood up and left the office.He went to his office and gathered some documents before going to the offices of the upper echelons one by one.Inside Mr. Drake's office, one of the upper echelons, he was going through a document Rex presented to him."Sir, do you mean you're going to build an apartment for the new workers? That will cost you much; their salary could rent them a comfortable apartment," he suggested.Rex smiled sweetly. "Do you think I do something without consideration?" he asked."Well, I didn't know what you had in mind; I was just concerned about what it would cost you," Drake said."Leave money aside, so back
"I can see," she said, passing them."Tyga!" she yelled. "Master is calling you," she added after Tyga responded from inside the room."We're in trouble, Tyler," Viper fretted."Um, I don't think she will do anything about it," Tyler remarked."Don't say that; we need to confront her and beg her not to report us to Master Rex," Viper advised."I don't find that a nice idea; it would only increase her ego and could eventually lead her to report us or demand some money from us," Tyler said.Viper sighed, "Tyler, you're about to put me into trouble," he worried. "Despite cautioning you in the car on our way to the company, you still shoved this topic down my throat, and now the lady has caught us."As they were arguing over the issue, Tyga walked out of their room."Why are you both fretting like individuals who just lost their jobs?" he questioned them."Tyga, Tyler has landed me in trouble," Viper uttered.Just as they were discussing the issue, Rex walked out of the building, screamin
"Um, no, not at all." She forced a smile and proceeded to open the letter.As soon as she opened it and saw the heading "PROMOTIONAL LETTER," her face lit up, and a smile crept to her lips."You mean, this later was meant for me?" she blurted."Just go through it," Rex replied, smiling. Seeing Ava's countenance glittering made him satisfied; of course, he knew she would be amazed by the letter."Oh my goodness! I'm speechless. I love you so much, dear," she yelled, standing up from the chair and hugging Rex.After she hugged him and appreciated him for the promotion, Rex glared at his wristwatch to check the time; he noticed it was almost nine o'clock."We have to go now, dear; it's late already," Rex told her.They walked over to the counter, and the accountant offered them their bill receipt. After glaring at it for some seconds, Rex dipped his hand into his side bag and brought out the customized card his father had given him long ago."Take your money from this," he told the accou
"Does it mean she had left me here and gone home?" he wondered.He brought out his phone to dial her number, and just then, someone emerged from his back."I'm here, dear. I'm sorry if I got you worried," she apologized.Rex exhaled a heavy breath. "Why would you prank me on such a thing?" he complained."I'm really sorry, sir," she pleaded. She called him "Sir" because she knew Rex was seriously annoyed by her action."It wasn't a prank, sir; my stomach was disturbing, which led me to go to the restroom; I really purged hard," she explained."Oh, I'm really sorry you experienced that, dear. I hope you're better now." Rex responded with a pitiful tone."Yes, I'm way better now. Honestly, all the while you were making payments, I wasn't the one with you because of this; my mind was focused on how to ease myself," she replied. "I guess it was because of the porridge beans I ate; I don't eat beans frequently at home, but I managed to because you were eating them," she added."Well, the m
They entered and started ascending to the second floor, which was where Rex was living. However, as they arrived at the entrance, Rex noticed the door was locked too. He sighed because he never thought Cecilia would lock it, even when the major security door had been locked.He pressed the bell as well; nonetheless, they stayed at the entrance for over five minutes, waiting for her to come and unlock the door for them.At last, Cecilia showed up and opened the door for them; however, as she saw Ava, her countenance frowned, and Ava was shocked too upon seeing her.They walked past each other without greeting.As Rex noticed the uncomfortable look on Cecilia's face, he decided to introduce Ava to her. "Dear, meet my manager; she's so nice and a productive person," he remarked."Oh, welcome to our home," Cecilia said to Ava.Ava murmured in response to Ava. In honesty, if not, it was already dark; one could get depressed by merely looking at Ava's face because of how disappointed she fe
"Oh my goodness, who told you that?" Rex exclaimed."Who's the lady at your house, then?" she persisted.Rex laughed sarcastically upon realizing the reason Ava had been moody toward him and Cecilia—she actually thought Cecilia was his wife!"Oh my goodness, I can't believe you think such of me. I mean, why?" He teased her."What are you trying to insinuate? That I'm wrong or what?" Ava questioned.Rex was silent for a few seconds, smiling, as he still could not believe that was the reason for all the attitude Ava had been giving him and Cecelia."She was actually right," he remarked."Who... What do you mean?" Ava cuts in. "Was I wrong at first?" she retorted."Not that you're totally wrong, but you're wrong in some ways," he replied."I mean, the lady was right on what she told me," he said. She isn't my wife. How would I get married without you being present?" he questioned, steering the car to the route that leads to Ava's district."So who's she then?" Ava became relieved as she h
Rex arrived home and went straight to his room to sleep. He had planned to sleep for the rest of the day till night, when he would come out to eat dinner and then go back to sleep. This was because he was feeling lightheaded because of too much stress, from school issues to companies to home and friend affairs.***The next day, which was Tuesday, Rex woke up energetically and started practicing his martial skills. He had planned to use the day to visit his friend Andrea and know how he had been doing because their exam for the day was canceled and was postponed to Wednesday.Ever since Rex lost his phone, he has had issues logging into his Google account, which is where all his important contacts are saved. So he wasn't able to connect with Andrea unless he visits him, and he was always too busy to easily create time for that. Fortunately, today the opportunity has created itself to visit Andrea.After a few minutes of practicing, he took his bath, ate his breakfast, and then left th
