Tony, with a polished demeanor and a hint of intrigue in his eyes, engaged in conversation with Mr. Clinton at a corner in the party hall. As they exchanged words about business and the nuances of the corporate world, a sudden shift in the atmosphere caught their attention.A wave of hushed whispers swept through the party hall like a gentle breeze before a storm.

With a warm smile on Alyssa's face she replied "No problem, I know you had a good reason for not coming""Thanks, dear," Mr Clinton replied.Alyssa still used to talk to Mr Clinton after they relocated, But when her mom's death started taking a huge turn in her Dad's life they didn't have time to talk anymore.And when her Dad died she sent a message to Mr Clinton informing him about her Dad's death but there was no reply from him and ever since then, she hasn't heard from him.Alex just watched silently as Mr Clinton and Alyssa talked."So how is work going now darling? Am sure you will be able to do better than your Dad ever did” Mr Clinton asked, making Alissa's mood change a bit."Aunt Judy is in charge now," Alyssa said softly."Uhmmm, Judy!...in charge of the business? Are you talking about Harley's younger sister?...""Yes sir," said Alyssa."The Judy I know doesn't even understand the system of business, so why would she be in charge of Harley business…wow that unexpected but
As soon as they got to the dance floor, The atmosphere became tense for Alyssa because all eyes were on them.As much as Alyssa loves fancy and grand parties she never for once loved the spotlight that comes from it. But she became used to the spotlight after she joined the business.Alex placed Alyssa's right hand on his shoulder and one of his hands slowly held onto her waist as he drew her closer to himself.Alyssa wasn't expecting him to draw her that close to himself so he made her grasp a bit.“What feeling uncomfortable?...uhm..” Alex asked, As they danced slowly to the music.“No!, why would I be?...am your wife after all? '' Alyssa said with a smirk on her face. “Well, I guess you should be the one uncomfortable because you don't like it when a lady comes close to you” Alyssa continued.“Wow I see you enjoy coming close to me, so what about now?” Alex asked as he drew her even closer to himself than before, Making Alyssa's breasts hit his chest as he held onto her tightly.A
“When should I be expecting the details?”“In two days sir, everything should be ready by then,” Lisa said to Tony with all certainty.Tony called his secretary before leaving the party to come meet him at a bar closer to his location, Immediately he left the party hall and got into his car his driver Marco drove him off Immediately.“I don't want this to exceed two days Lisa, so you better keep to your word I will be giving you a leave from work for the two days so you can focus on this assignment I just gave you and report back to me in two days!, ok?” “Yes sir…” Lisa replied.Tony stood up and walked away leaving Lisa at the bar after sending her the pictures of Alyssa he had taken.“Hello…yes, I have got a picture of the person,” Lisa said to someone at the other end of the phone.“OK then, I will get back to you within three days”“What!, three days…you told me if I could get a picture then you would be able to get her details within two days, so why change it now?”“Am sorry L

Alex said silently.“Are you trying to say something to me?” Alyssa asked Alex to make a sharp turn to enter the Street where Alyssa lived.“No!...why would I” Alex's ruthless voice still sent shivers down Alyssa's spine as she kept on wondering why his words had to have much of an effect on her.Alex didn't want Alyssa to notice the
