The DPO succeeded in convincing Alex, it was just how criminals behave and it was just a scope.While Alex agreed with the officer, something in him still wanted to grant the young man his request.“So what do we do now?” Alex asked, he had come all the way from his office so he needed to know the next step.“CEO Alex, we can only wait on him to reveal the real culprit, if not, he would keep being here in place of the person.”Alex and the deputy police officer were no longer in the cell, they were at the DPO’s office discussing this.They had spent over forty minutes talking when there seemed to be something like a distraction ongoing.“Excuse me, CEO Alex.”To find out what was happening, the officer left the office and met his colleagues. They whispered something to him which made him look shocked.The emergency unit had just come over and began to carry someone outside. On the other hand, Alex peeked at his wrist, the DPO had left for over ten minutes and hadn’t returned. His sec
Twice, Alex called his wife but she wasn’t picking up. He decided to do other things and he would talk about it later.It was still the break period and the staff were in the cafeteria. Then, the secretary came to give him some information.“Sir, there is a lady outside who would love to see you?”“What’s her name?” Alex asked.“The lady didn’t disclose that and insisted that you are expecting here,”Without thinking about it that much, Alex ordered that they let her in.Jane had been standing and waiting. She really does hope that Alex would be in a good mood. She didn’t reveal her name to the secretary because she knows that he might refuse to see her.Jane can’t deal with the fact that Alex doesn’t worship her anymore, if she really claims Alex was still in love with her, why wasn’t she so confident to say her name.When she saw the secretary returning, her eyes were fixed to read her expression.Has Alex said he doesn't want to see her? Or he had requested she must say her name?
Jane walked majestically into Alex’s office. This would be her only chance and she would try so hard not to annoy him.After all, she knows his secret and whenever she reminds him of that, he must do what she wants.Alex was going on his phone. He’s been keeping in touch with the DPO and as of now, there was no news yet about the young man’s life.The sounds of Jane’s footsteps made him look up. After Alex told the secretary to let the person in, he almost forgot about that. However, the footsteps made him lift his head from his phone.“Alex,” Jane called, smiling. She appeared fearless, cat walking and wearing the sexiest smile ever.Jane was on heels, and a bodycon pencilled black gown which made her curves glaring. She was putting on red lipstick.When Alex looked up, his expressions were indifferent. How dare Jane show up here again? And why was he not reacting or chasing her away?She still looked beautiful as ever, eloquent and her carriage is still top-notch.“Are you surpris
“Clara, this is not what it seems like.” Alex immediately pushed Jane away, stood, and tried to vindicate himself from the situation he was in.“Young master Alex, are you denying me now? Didn’t you say she didn’t matter and that you were going to divorce her?”Clara’s eyes widened the moment she heard that from Jane. She remembered the night the lady came to the house, she and Alex never got to talk about it.He never wanted to talk so she didn’t confront him, also, the night he had slept off with his phone, she had seen her message notification.Clara never went through the message because she trusted Alex, she never knew Alex had blocked Jane too.But here was he, promising another lady that he was going to divorce her. When she entered, she kind of expected a miracle to happen and for Alex to say something.Rather Alex keeps acting guilty, he seemed to have nothing to say and he wasn’t even restricting Jane from talking.Henry, who had asked a rhetorical question, moved closer to
Alex gulped hearing Clara’s reply. He didn’t expect Clara to give that answer.But it was understandable, she was angry. The reply she gave was even better than saying that they were in a contract marriage. Nobody knows about that.“Oh, I see.” Jane uttered again, though Clara’s words were getting her annoyed, she didn’t show it. Clara was making it hard for her to mock her.“Nice meeting you, Clara.” Jane, who had nothing to say again, replied.“You too, I will take my leave now.” Clara replied.Knowing she didn’t screw up kind of gave her joy and she didn’t regret the reply she had just given.To hell with her being delusional that Alex loves her. All these were fake.As she turned to make her exit, she made sure to maintain eye contact with Alex during her turn. She stared at him for a very long time, until she began working towards the door.“Hey wait.” Henry screamed at her. He came all the way for their meeting and didn’t expect things to turn out like this.“Hey man, what are w
After succeeding in calling for help. Alex’s secretary and a few people took him to the clinic.He was to receive first aid treatment and also treated his wound.All through that period, his secretary ran up and down. Making sure that all was well and that not a lot of people were aware of his wound.She had always loved Alex. But she knew Alex would never look her way, so she just decided to love him from afar only.“Sir, don’t worry, you will be fine. Do you still feel pain?” The secretary asked.Alex gulped, he had almost rolled his eyes but he wouldn’t at least hurt the feelings of someone who tried to take care of him.Though the wound was minor and he didn’t even care about that. She made it seem like it’s a big deal.“I’m okay.” He said, leaving now was really going to be rude. So he had set a timer in his mind, once it was ten minutes, he would leave this place and go search for Clara.He doesn’t know how to explain this to her, but he needs to find her first. Things like this
Alex stood there watching Henry comfort his wife. He didn’t dare have the courage to show up. The scene had made him very emotional also.So he rather watches her from a distance. He would need to come up with something real quick. Be it at home or now.However he intended to do it, one thing was certain, he wasn’t going to let them sleep without sorting out things.As he was calculating and strategically, Henry caught a glimpse of him. Alex didn’t even notice that until he looked in that direction again.Because Clara was backing Alex, she wouldn’t be able to see him, only Henry can.So after their eyes met, Henry did a signal to Alex that he gaht this. Clara was only mad at the moment and would calm down later.Having trust in Henry, Alex returned the signal. He needed to head back to the office right now. Henry was not a bad person at all, so he believed in him.Fortunately, the moment Alex stepped out, Clara noticed Henry had been looking in a particular direction.“Is someone her
When Henry got to Alex's mansion. He turned to find Clara asleep. Even though the ride was silent, he never imagined that she was sleeping.He raised his hands to tap her, but hung it in the air when he observed her side view. She was leaning backwards, supporting herself with the seatbelt.This made it easier for him to observe her side view. He found himself adjusting her hair.The thought of Clara meant to be his girlfriend got him angry. So he shook that off and woke her up.“Clara, we are here.”Clara opened one of her eyes, before opening the other. How the hell did she sleep off here?Then she found out that had arrived. Placing her hand on her forehead, she let out the “oh.” Sigh.“Thanks,” She replied, loosening the seat belt, without even looking at Henry who had been looking at her, she opened the car door.“Bye.” But Henry didn’t start off the car, he stayed and watched until she was invincible, then he veered the engine and left.After Jane left the office premises in a
