LENA.

“You must really think you are special, huh?” My chest was poked suddenly and when I turned around I was met by the two young women from the reception the other day. Royce had saved me from them that day but today it looked like no one was going to save me.

“Special?” I asked sighing. I was merely waiting for my coffee this morning while thinking of the pile of jobs in front of me. I was also supposed to be at Jamie’s house by eleven to sign the jet project. Getting there wasn't the problem, being with him was. I still didn't know why he requested me of all people.

“Yeah, because you got to speak with Jamie and Mr Monaco wants you to work directly with him. He hates partnership!” She spat. I didn't know her name but she had brunette short hair and the second girl was the one I saw at the front desk the other day.

“You don't have to bully me, I have kids already. Two of them. I am not someone Mr. Monaco can be interested in,” I sighed. I just didn't want to be involved in t

    LENA. “You must really think you are special, huh?” My chest was poked suddenly and when I turned around I was met by the two young women from the reception the other day.

    ALEXANDER. She literally said it to my face that she wants to be with Royce. And I don't give a dime about that. I walked to my office, ignoring her. I left her with Royce because I didn't care. I was literally getting my hands on Jamie’s project because of her. I hated that man so much, I have vowed never to be on any of his projects. I didn't care anyway. I sat behind my desk, constantly looking up at the door, but no one came. She didn't come with me. Where did she go? Didn't I tell her to come wth me? She was supposed to be working with me from now on. Why was she so stubborn? I tried to ignore her and concentrate on working; it was the only thing that could fully take her off my mind. To work and work and work. However, she was the only thing that kept popping up on my screen. I hated this. I hated it so much. I got to my feet and started to pace around the room, thinking about what to do. How would I make her come to my office without having to force her? I placed one finger

    LENA. Jamie walked out of the office, and I swear, I trembled. His steps were slow and dangerous. He was glaring at me when I turned to him, and he looked like a little devil. I knew that this was it, and this man was going to order the downfall of the company that I just joined. Royce might be acting all chilled, but I know deep down he already hates me, and I know deep down there would be no need to be scared. Alexander will remember me because he never wanted to see me again. I stayed still, shocked by the new development. This was it. This was my doom, and no one was going to save me from it. “Royce, who is this little chipmunk?” His devilish eyes didn’t leave mine, and I was left to look at the marble floor. I couldn’t even raise my head because of what I did. “She does look like a chipmunk.” Royce laughed, and I wondered if he ever took anything seriously. “Her name is Lena.” Alexander’s cold voice sounded, and for a second I thought that he was mad because Jamie called me a

    ALEXANDER.“She is no one!” I had to say those words to Jamie even when she meant the entire world to me in this moment. Perhaps I was playing too fast in my mind, but a man knows what he wants when he sees it. I wanted Lena. Jamie didn’t seem to believe me. He stared at her strongly, his gaze unwavering. He looked upset at the same time; he wasn’t reacting, and that seemed to baffle me. Why was he staring at her like that? To stop him, I pulled Lena away from him. Yes, she had gone ahead and said some words she was not supposed to say to him, and that made him step forward toward her, and she didn’t even look scared of him. Slamming her against the wall, I could feel anger surge through me, and even I couldn’t explain why I was feeling so much anger in this moment. “Do you even know who the heck he is?!” I was glaring at her now, and she was indifferent about it. She didn’t look like she cared, but I wanted her to. I was going to protect her, but she needed to be careful. I was mer

    LENA. He told me to think about it. He really wanted me to sleep with Alexander? Why did he even come up with that idea? I sat in my side of the office. I was brought here after Royce dismissed me, and since I had issue with those girls, no one was willing to speak to me. The rumour that I was seducing their bosses had spread like wildfire. Yet, I was shocked because I was used to this type of setting. I had been bullied my whole life. Every time I go somewhere new, I subconsciously start to expect bullying.I was the team leader, yet no one had walked up to me to fill me in on the pending jobs. They were either talking among each other or not saying anything at all. “Where is she?” A man's voice sounded from the door and even before I raised my head to see who it was, I already knew. Then with a grunt he walked over to me and before I could say a word, he grabbed my arm and pulled me from the chair like I weighed nothing. He towered over me, making me seem like I was short when I w

    ALEXANDER. Watching her walk home was giving stalker, but I would rather watch her get home safely than leave her all alone. I followed the taxi she took, and now I was walking behind her, back to her apartment, which surprisingly wasn't far from the packhouse. Houses here were very expensive because they were close to the packhouse, which meant premium safety. The elite lived here. I liked that, but getting a house here required two years deposit, which was actually a lot. I wonder deep down where she got that money from. Was it from selling her body, or was she actually rich? She was hiding something. She twirled under a street light. Her dark hair swayed as she moved, and I smiled unconsciously. I had actually never seen her smile like that or play like a little kid. She walked to the front of a gate, and I stopped watching her go in, but then the door was pulled back before she did, and then came out a lady.“Allyson, hii…” Lena smiled, and I could tell they were friends from h
