I kept staring at the email for what felt like hours… Max King had sent me an email yesterday with the purpose of having a possible partnership.

“Hey Lex here’s the revised marketing presentation that you asked for– why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” Leo walks in my office, holding a flash drive “What happened?”

“Would you believe me if I told you that Maximilian King is asking to meet with me soon regarding a possible working relationship?” I asked, still frowning as I show him my laptop screen

“It really is the end of the world!” he joked as he finishes reading the mail

“It’s not funny Leonard.” I stood up and looked at my window “Ever since Preston and I stepped up as the respective heads in our companies, we were rivals.” I let out a sigh

“Maybe Max King is different than his father. He might want to bury the hatchet.” Leo says positively, I nodded apprehensively

“From what Safina has told me, when he became CEO he is just as bad as his father had been.” I faced Leo

    “What do you mean the florist won’t make flower arrangements for me?” I hissed, slamming papers onto my desk “I’ve paid good money to have him make my demands!” I snapped“He just doesn’t want to sir, and Miss Brooks refused the flowers you sent her last time.” Percy reasons “Call Bella to my office, I need to speak with her.” I ordered“She has resigned sir, have you forgotten?” he wondered My temper began to rise once again, pinching the bridge of my nose “No I haven’t.” I denied “Find the best bakery and buy the most luxurious red velvet cake and send it to Safina’s office.” I say, straightening up to my chair“Of course sir…” Percy nodded but held back as if he wanted to say something “Spit it out Percy, I know you want to say something.” I said sternlyHe took a deep breath and spoke “You really do love her sir. But sometimes you just have to know when to let go… Not doing so will hurt you even more.” “I do. She has been there for me for years-““And yet you manage t

    Lex’s POV“I don’t know what happened with you and Angel but the other night she asked me to give this to you.” Leo handed me a small purple envelope after barging into my office just as I sat down on my desk “Maybe she’s asking you out on a date…” he teased “Good morning to you too Leo. I’m good this morning, thanks for asking.” I rolled my eyes as I took the envelope tentatively “Don’t you have a meeting to get to today?” I asked sarcastically “It’s not until 9:30 so indulge me on what happened between you and little Miss Angel. Did you guys b*ng again?” he asked with a smirk“Since when did you become a nosy b*stard with my personal life?” I scoffed, distracting myself with my computer and ignored the envelope as best I could“Two things, you’ve been seeing my shyest employee and it’s been two years since you’ve been on the dating scene, and you broke that thanks to Angel.” He points out“I’m not dating her, she rejected me the last time we saw each other after I went out

    I still decided to go to Fire and Desire a few hours later and focused on getting as much tips as possible tonightThough before going to work, I decided to at least cook something for Bella when she gets home. I cooked up some rice and take out the milkfish marinated in vinegar and garlic out of the freezer that I successfully haggled for at the Asian supermarket and fried that up and I also decided to make a quick pickled salad with daikon radishes, onions and tomatoes seasoned with jalapeno instead of Asian chilies because my vendor ran out.It was something my mom loved to make for me on a daily basis, and milkfish is rare at the time“Guess who quit her job babe?!” Bella says cheerfully as the door opened “Well technically resigned and I’m starting a new job as an intern at Style Life Magazine… hopefully.” She grinned as she placed her box of things at the coffee tableI smiled as I put the prepared food on the table “When did you resign officially?” her resignation didn’t surpri

    Meanwhile…Jack parked the car on my apartment’s driveway. By now I had stopped crying and kept quiet, getting out of the car and smiling at the couple “I’m sorry for the inconvenience Mama Benj… Jack.”“Don’t mention it Saf, we’re happy to help.” Jack smiled kindly“Are you sure you’re okay sweetie? You can take a day off of work-” Mama Benj began but I cut him off “No Ma, I need the money… My monthly due date at the bank is coming up and I need the cash as soon as possible.” I smiled weakly “See you later.” I waved goodbye before heading into my apartment As soon as I close the door, all the emotions came to me as if somebody stabbed me repeatedly with a knife... As the people who mattered to me most don’t think that I am good enough….“This isn’t the job I want for you Safina.” My mother says as she puts down my essay and shook her head “You’re a very intelligent girl and it’s such a shame that you’re not using your brain for a course that can lead to a high paying job in t

    Lex’s Point of View“Thank you so much for your feedback sir, I’ll have the final version of the app ready for presentation as soon as possible. And I’m sorry if I disturbed you.” He smiled apologetically at me“Nonsense Clifford, I’m happy to give feedback when needed. Don’t hesitate to come to me if you have an idea or a concern, and if I’m not here then I’m sure Safina can help you too.” I assured him“Of course sir. I should get going.” He nods and went to his department I was heading to Safina’s office when I heard my phone ring, it’s Wilma… and all of a sudden, the bad feeling in my stomach rises again. I quickly answered the phone “Wilma? Is everything okay?”“No Lex, Safina left the building… crying. I’m worried about her.” Wilma says worriedly My gut feeling was right “F*ck, alright… I’ll try to contact her, has Max King left yet?” I ask, anger and irritation bubbled inside me at the mention of that man“Unfortunately not, I haven’t seen him or his assistant. They’

    I did my best to calm my nerves in the bathroom. Taking deep breaths as I look at myself in the mirror “Breathe Safina… he’s just here for business, you’re safe from him. You moved on from him. He’s not going to hurt you in any way anymore.” I gave myself a pep talk and adjusted my hairI hear the door open and I saw him enter the ladies’ room with a knowing smile on his face “This is the ladies’ room. You shouldn’t be in here Max.” I turn to face him, putting on a brave face “I know, I just wanted to talk to you.” He says, stepping towards me“We have nothing to talk about the moment you stuck your d*ck inside another girl! And I knew that the girl from the penthouse isn’t the first girl you f*cked.” I spat“I apologized for that Saf!” he reasons “A-And yes I drunkily cheated on you in Greece. But I didn’t want to tell you because I don’t want to lose you.” He admits, thinking it will help his caseI scoffed “After I quit, you preceded to blacklist me in almost every company in
