Through out the day, Alexander was just too quiet, she was too reserved, she wouldn't get angry at anyone, not even at those that she would usually get angry at, especially those that always tries to make her feel flattered, and ready to serve her, she feels, they are only like that, because she is the daughter of the boss. She tries very much to stay calm, not because she wants to, or she doesn't have anything to say, but she was thinking about all that happened earlier that day, and though she had posed to be very blunt and free minded, she couldn't help, but wonder just who sent the paparazzi to the company, when there is no special occasion. She was still lost in thought, when her father showed up behind her. towards closure of work."Are you okay, sweetie? He asked, hoping she would look back at him, but she didn't, and she immediately, snapped out of her thought, acting as though she had been working since. If she is to share her problems with anyone at the moment, her fathe
Alexander was busy on her phone with her new found friend, they were trying to catch up online, and she had a great laugh. At first it was just chat, before they switched it to a video call, and every now and then, she looks at herself on the screen and conclude that she isn't really that bad looking. If she had washed her face, she wouldn't have agreed to a video call with her friend, though her friend is already in her nighty, and no make up on her face."You are already home, aren't you going to wash off your face, you know make up can spoil your skin, if you sleep with it, or use it for too long". Annie says, but that didn't seem to go well with Alex, because her looks changed and she frowned at her friend, that she have been visiting with about old times for the past hour, before telling her that she needed to go take a shower, and then go to bed, because she had to work the next day. Annie, suspecting that her friend must be angry at her request, "Did I say something wrong? Ann
Alexander watch him clear the table, taking away the dishes to the kitchen to wash them, she wanted to help, but she decided against it, but after sitting for too long doing nothing, she felt she should get up and help him, she isnt a lazy child, her mother didn't train her that way, so she walked slowly to the kitchen, but he was on call, almost dome with the dishes. She wanted to walk in immediately, but she decided to eavesdrop just a little. She could already tell he was speaking with his father."I am trying to cope Dad, but I have no regrets, because I can relate with what she is going through. she doesn't think she is good enough, but I want her to know she is far more beautiful that she really sees herself to be". He says, while facing the window. She knew he was talking to his father about her, and she felt bad, that soon, it is all going to end. He may really have good intentions, but she is scared, she might get too attached to him, and by the time, he would want to leave,
Ryan hit his foot against the wall, angry with himself. He didn't mean to do that, what was he thinking, kissing her, but she kissed him back, he defends, but he made the move first, he slapped himself again. Why did he do it? He questioned himself, He concluded that he was carried away. He hated seeing tears, and seeing her in tears, made him want to show her that he actually cares about her well being, and not just about the money or the contract. He wanted to go to her room, that same night to apology andake peace with her, but she has managed to use her stool to block the entrance, she doesn't want him to come in, and it would be best, he respects her decision, he went quietly to his room, hoping to wake up early to see her and speak to her, at least a simple apology would help. He lay on his bed, thinking of how he was going to start with the apology the next day, that he didn't know when he slept off, and only woke up the next day, two hours after the time he was supposed to
"What are you doing in my room? Alexander asked, as her eye landed on her pictures scattered all over the bed. she gasped, as she remembers that he must have seen that very bad one. The one she keeps away from everyone, the one she knows is too scary, even for a monster. She started panting, getting ready to scream at him, but her father was quick to speak up. "Your husband have been worried sick about you, is that how you show appreciation to him? But Alexander was not listening, she got even more furious as she noticed that the image he was holding behind him was the one she dreaded the most, she screamed. "Get out everyone". Damien and Lindsay left the room, they have seen her that way before, but Ryan stayed back, as he tries to explain. "I was only looking for a clue, a note or something, just anything that would tell me where you are, and that was why I was going through your things. I thought you probably went to see that your new friend, and I was searching to see if I woul
" am sIorry Dad, it didn't work out". He had his head bowed low, as he spoke shamefully. "We were having too many issues, that she wouldn't let sly, and I couldn't stand her, I am sorry". Ryan started, Still looking down, thinking his father would be disappointed in him and maybe flare up, like he had done the first time he rejected the proposal, but to his surprise, he got up from his seat and hugged him. Ryan noticed he looked very weak, and unhappy, but he wouldn't go back on his words, so he pretended not to notice."I have not been myself since you left this house, and though I wished it worked, but I also want your happiness, that is more important to me than any other thing". He stared long at his father and nodded his head. "Thanks for understanding Dad, I was worried about you, and I thought you wouldn't accept, but I am glad you did. But Dad, are you okay? He had to ask, for his father didn't look so well, and he had a cannula in hand. "I am fine, don't worry about me".
"What is wrong with my dad? Ryan asked, almost in tears, and the nurse who has a killer smile, turned to face him."Oh! You are his son? Don't worry, your father would be fine, he is getting a high class treatment, and all bills are being paid by Damien Brick". Ryan knows all that, Maybe the nurse needed to explain to him, because she thinks he might be worried about the bills, but he wanted to know what sort of ailment his father has. "I said, what is wrong with my father? He raised his voice at her angrily, The nurse raised a brow, before speaking calmly. "Your father has a rare heart disease. From series of test and research, it is believed that it could be a reaction from the number of years he stayed driving, so he isn't supposed to be working now, he is just meant to eat and sleep. and a personal maid has also been assigned to him, someone that would look after him all the time, and that is why I said you shouldn't worry, because with the sort of treatment he is getting, he will
Looking straight into Lindsay unwavering eyes, Ryan demanded that she sits comfortably, because his questions will be long, and will need her to answer him, so that as a family, they could find out what is really happening. Ryan made her feel he was speaking with her in a friendly manner, but that was because of the presence of Damien Brick who seem to be loving every bit of what he was doing.Ryan loving the look on Lindsay's face, he brought out the files he had with him, his files are nearly stacked, he had actually walked into the bosses office prepared while he was going through his files, Lindsay wore a confident smile, but one could always tell that she was scared. And the way Damien was looking at her, she could feel her confident wavering. Lindsay was trying really hard to maintain her composure, especially since her husband was very much around, and was not giving her the lovey dovy eye, he was giving her the suspicious look."Like I said, I have been reviewing the expen
