"Sam," Alvin called. "The Manager of Friz and co.' will be here in a few minutes. I hope everything is ready?""Uh- yeah, sure." I scratched my arm, dropping the files on his table. "I'll send the remaining part of it to your email."He hummed a response. His fingers drummed on his laptop keys really fast, forming the beat of a song. Seriously? He hadn't said a thing about last Saturday. He was really going to ignore it? I felt his gaze on me soI raised my head to stare at him."What do you want?" He questioned crankily."Nothing." I shook my head."If it's about last Saturday, don't think I care. Hearing such words from people isn't a new thing to me." He explained. Unconsciously, a smirk played on my lips, forming a frown on his face. "It doesn't mean you should say it all the time, and in public. Gossipers are always around, ready to feed the internet with even the slightest mistake people like us make so your words could be manipulated and ruin my image. Be careful. You'd pay for
"You can leave now, Samantha." Alvin said with a dismissive wave of his hand.I glanced at my wristwatch and it was three hours past my closing hour, if I even had one. "Thank you so much Alvin, for releasing me at such an early hour of the day." I said sarcastically with a fake smile.I don't really get him today. He's acting weird to me.He raised his head from his laptop, leaned back in his chair and intertwined his fingers. "Oh, really?" He scoffed. "Why don't you wait till it's not so early and do some more work."My eyes widened at that. I wore a grin at him, shaking my head. "No, thank you. I'll be leaving now." I nodded then turned around and took my leave. A frown returned on my face as I shut the door. "Stupid man." I hissed.A young man beside me, who I hadn't noticed until now, chuckled at me. I flinched at the notice of his presence. "Hi," I waved awkwardly, walking away."We all know he's terrible." He said behind me but I ignored him and continued walking away. I got in
"I balanced it all into one file, Alvin…" I walked up to Alvin and dropped the big file on his table, picking my phone from the top of the file.He glanced at them then raised his head to me with a positive nod. "That's good." He rose to his feet. "Do I have an appointment with anyone again today?""Uh..." I raised my phone to my face and opened his schedule for today on my phone. "Yes, you have an appointment in twenty minutes with..." my eyes widened at that. "Amanada Hart." Gosh, I had totally forgotten about his date with Amanda.He will meet her."Okay, and you're coming with me." He reminded me, picked his jacket from his chair and wore it, and turned around the table.My eyes widened. "May I know why I have to go with you?" I asked out of curiosity.He snapped his head in my direction with an icy stare. "Amanda is a friend of mine and she'd constantly pester me. She wouldn't believe that I have to leave for other important things so you'd be there, incessantly reminding me and
I blinked multiple times with my jaw gaped. "Your girlfriend?" A frown appeared on my face.I'm your ex-girlfriend, Alvin."Yes, Sam." He said through a fake smile. "This is my Mom and she has been dying to meet you."I frowned at him. "But...""It's so nice to finally meet you. I never believed Alvin already got back with you. I didn't believe him a bit when he told me that you guys broke up, not to mention believing she's a really beautiful one like you. I'm Trisha." She smiled with the small of her teeth in view.She didn't know? When it was patently obvious that his Mom wasn't looking, Alvin glared at me; a glare that warned me to go along with the flow. That didn't stop me from feeling pissed off by his lie."Trisha?" Why did that name sound so familiar? "That name sounds familiar and you look very familiar." I squinted my eyes, trying to remember where I had seen her or heard her name."I'm the owner of Risha's products; Risha's perfume, shoes, magazines..." she said proudly a
Alvin ignored my glare, focusing his gaze on Trisha. "Mom, we have to go now. We've had enough of your pestering self." He rolled his eyes, rising to his feet. "Sam..." he cleared his throat, wearing a smile that showed off his one-sided dimple on his left cheek. "Sam." Gosh, he looked way angelic when he smiled than the stern-faced demon he always portrayed."No, don't leave so soon." Trisha pouted. I found that cute though it wasn't exactly cute. I liked this woman's demeanor. She didn't give off the impression of a mearn-ass rich son's mother like I mostly saw in movies, and probably books."We have to, Trisha." I also wore an angelic smile, blinking slower than usual for no good reason.Alvin extended his hand towards me. I raised a questioning eyebrow at him then muttered an 'oh' after realizing he meant I had to hold his hand. Dork. Reluctantly, I accepted his hand and he helped me up to my feet, leading me out of the chairs."Bye, Mom." He waved, curling an arm around my wa
Obviously noticing my presence, he raised his head to me, shoved his phone back into his pants pocket then started out the door. I quietly followed behind him, not walking too fast nor too slow, just to keep tailing behind him. He walked so confidently and proudly, like he was royalty, obviously calling for attention from everyone around. He stopped walking all of a sudden and I had to do so too, wondering what was wrong now."Don't walk behind me, I hate it when people that aren't bodyguards walk behind me." He said in more of a whisper."Okay, Sir." I stepped forward, standing beside him.He sent me a sideways glance, resuming walking. We got to the elevator, stepping into it after it opened. It traveled us to the ground floor, re-opened then we resumed walking. Gosh, I knew it was only because of him but that didn't stop me from feeling important as people got out of the way to form a wide path for us, bowing formally in greeting. As we passed different corners, hefty men appeared
"You're so lucky, you're going to Australia." Georgina plopped her chin on her palms, with her tummy flat on the bed, throwing her legs up in the air. "How's that anyhow lucky?"I wondered, folding my clothes into my travel bag."How isn't it?" Her phone chirped in front of her and she picked it up. Slowly, her face flooded red."What's that now?" I smirked at her."Nothing I'd like you to know about yet." She giggled, rolling over to her back with her phone still in front of her face."That's not so nice." I faked a frown, zipping the travel bag close."Just shut up and resume packing." She waved me off, hitting her fingers on her phone screen really fast."I'll still find out the reason for your endless blushing lately. I needed to know who this Prince charming is." I teased."Whatever." She chuckled.I left for the bathroom to piss, washing my hands clean. Returning to the bedroom, my phone began to ring from the bedside table. I rushed to it, drying my hands on my jeans trousers
I got out of the taxi, took my travel bags from the trunk then paid the man. I pulled my bags, as well as myself, all the way to the company's Parking lot, stopping beside Alvin's car. A man helped me out with taking my bags away to a different car then he got into it and started driving away. I didn't know where he was taking them to but I could tell it was meant to be. I rested against the car, waiting for a few minutes before Alvin finally arrived. He had bodyguards tailing behind him as he strutted to his car."Good evening, sir." I greeted, separating my body from the car."Good thing you're not late." He replied frigidly, indicating that I stepped aside from the car door which I obediently did.The driver opened the car door for him then he slowly got into it. I turned around the car and opened the door for myself, getting into it then shut it. The Driver got in, starting the car."France, as well as his secretary, Jovi, will be going with us. It's a joint business between 'Vin
