His Business Proposal

The five-star hotel in New York City was full of celebrities. Tonight was the night. It was the day before Christmas Eve. It was the engagement party of George Chulley and Ashley Simpson. The Oil Magnet's son and the daughter of Gregory Simpson. The CEO of Simpsons Enterprise. "Dad…Dad... Which room is it?" Ashley said as she tried to steady her balance to understand what she was seeing. The engagement party had not even started yet, and Ashley was already drunk. She could barely stand on her two feet and now, she was looking to leave. "It's room 957." Her father was directing her to her soon-to-be husband, George Chulley's hotel room. Her father's voice sounded faint over the phone, it was almost as if she could not hear him speak to her. "Dad…I am doing this for you. You know that right?" She staggered.." I am doing this because you asked me to and I want to please you...Are you going to give me many gifts for doing this?" Ashley Simpson asked, her feet, failing her. "I will

Ashley thought for a while. She hopes the plan works out. She remembered he gave her thirty minutes to get to Wayne's enterprise. She sighs. "I think I have to try this out, if it doesn't work then I will know what else to do" She arranged herself, grabbed her bag, and left the room. She moved towards the elevator, pressed the green button, and watched as it made way for her to enter. Ashley could remember passing through it last night, but the alcohol she took caused the havoc she is about to face. Finally, the elevator took her to the last floor. Ashley made her way out. She notices the environment and the way people stare at her. "Oh! I can see the news is all over the place. It was all my fault, but I will fix up the mess" Ashley quickly stopped a cab and gave him the direction she was going. Luckily for her, the little change in her bag could pay the bill. Ashley arrived at the venue. She saw Wayne's Enterprise boldly written on top of the building. She made her way in

When Alex got home, he met Monalisa watching her favorite series. He hopes she doesn't start her usual nagging. "Alex, where have you been? You didn't come home last night and now look at the time you are returning" "Babe, I am not in the mood for all these. You should have just welcomed me first. I had a busy day and I would like to shower and rest" He left her and went into his room to take care of himself. Monalisa stood still in shock that he couldn't give her an answer. Alex finished taking his bath. He picked up his phone to call Ashley to know if she was fine, but Monalisa walked into the room. "Your food is ready" "Oh! Thanks, I will be there soon" Monalisa looked at him and walked out of the room without closing the door. Alex didn't mind, he called Ashley and she sounded very fine over the phone. Alex went over to the dining table and Monalisa joined him. She dished out the food for him and also her own. They ate in silence. Monalisa was not comfortable, the

Alex tried to wake her up but she was not responding. "Monalisa! Lisa! Babe wake up" There was no response from her. He carried her immediately and rushed to his car. He didn't close the door, he didn't even remove his clothes. Alex drove speedily to the hospital. When they got there, He kept shouting that it was an emergency. Monalisa was rushed to the theater while Alex waited for them. He was tensed. "Hope she hasn't given up?" Alex never knew she drinks and smokes. It was his first time seeing her in that mess. His main concern was for her to be alive. Alex knew quite alright that she had lost the pregnancy. "Why would she drink alcohol when she knew she was pregnant? Was she normal at all? What kind of a wise woman would think of doing such a thing?" Alex was very bittered. She couldn't wait for him to return before celebrating. This shows that her friends come first before him. "How could she announce it to her friends before telling me? Was I, not the one who w

Monalisa jumped out from his lap in shock "Alex, you are… are…back" She stuttered "Alex my friend, welcome back. Don't take what you just saw to heart. It wasn't meant to be like this" Alex didn't say anything, he went inside, picked up the file he wanted, and left the house to meet with someone important for a brief meeting. "You have damaged my relationship totally," She said amidst fake tears "Don't blame me, young woman. Blame yourself for not having self-control" "Really? You are seriously pushing the blame on me" The guy stood and adjusted his shirt and trousers which got rumpled. "See you some other time" Monalisa was shocked that he couldn't try to stop Alex and help her explain things. Alex stopped at the eatery where he was to meet with his client. He thought of what he saw. "Monalisa is really pushing me to do something she would end up regretting later. What kind of a woman is this? I can't take this anymore" He stepped out of his car and moved to the
