MasukMARKI spent almost an hour trying to figure out where Alexa could have gone. The building had been sealed and locked, and it was obvious that she was able to get her things out before that happened, otherwise, it would have turned out scandalous for her.I had Vector check around the city to see if she was able to get a quick store to move her things into; that was the least he could do after not trying every means possible to get to me.Although, I couldn’t tell how I would have handled the entire situation if Vector had decided to show up at my company to give me the information himself.Then I had called Reyna.“Is Alexa at the company?” I had asked her.“No, sir, she hasn’t come in today,” Reyna had answered.“Are you sure?” I had asked.I didn’t want to ask if Alexa brought her things to her father’s company, so that Reyna wouldn’t suspect anything because I was certain that Alexa didn’t want anyone knowing about it for now.“I am sure, Mr. Mark,” she had responded. “Is everyth
ALEXA“You can go for the day,” I told my secretary after we were done with everything we needed to do.“Are you sure, ma’am?” She asked. “I could stay back and help in arranging the orders of our clients again,” she offered.After packing and rearranging, the orders had been mixed up, but that wasn’t something that I couldn’t do. Besides, I even needed to do something that would keep my body and mind busy.Also, Gina was here, and I just felt like we haven’t been able to have any form of deep conversation because of her presence.“I can handle that, Shirley,” I told her.Shirley hesitated a little longer.“But if you need me to do anything, you can always call me,” she said.“I will,” I told her. “And thank you for today, Shirley,” I appreciated her, and I meant every single word of what I just said.I really didn’t know what I could have done without her, and she was more than efficient to me.“You are my boss, and I love my job,” Shirley said lightly.“But you should go home and re
MARK“Don’t think that I don’t know my rights, Brent, or whatever it is that you are called,” Mr. Devon told Brent with a snarl.He was becoming more and more desperate, but Brent was ready for him.I would have been too weak and devastated to do anything right now. “No one is arguing about that, Devon Charles. Of course, you will have the right to a lawyer, and you could represent yourself in court, but Mark Ronaldo, my client, will be charging you to court,” Brent told him firmly.Mr. Devon turned to me one more time, and I could see the desperation and hidden worry in his eyes.“Mark, don’t do this to me…don’t fall for this,” he said, sounding as though he was trying to plead his way through. “I am innocent of all this,” he added.“He is not going to respond to you, Devon Charles,” Brent chipped in, but Mr. Devon was determined.He continued talking to me anyway.Because of Brent’s interference, he couldn’t come anywhere close to me. Brent ensured that he stayed between Mr. Devon
MARKBrent spent the next couple of hours laying down everything that he had uncovered from the company, all of it detailing back to Mr. Devon.Embezzlements for years.Revealed secret plans to take over the company from me.Apparently, Mr. Devon had been stealing huge sums of money from the company for years now, down to when my dad was still alive. No one ever suspected him because of the bond he built with my dad, and eventually, with me, and also, he was a lawyer who was skilled at what he was doing.“These are all lies leveled against me!” Mr. Devon barked even before Brent could finish taking us through every uncovered secret.The more he revealed, the more I shuddered deep inside. I couldn’t believe that Mr. Devon could be the wolf in sheep clothing attacking the company. It all felt very disturbing, and I never would have thought that it would make me this weak.“Including trying to get me attacked just so that I wouldn’t get into this and sending a threat note?” Brent asked
ALEXAGina was quite reluctant, and it took a while to convince her before she offered to help.“I don’t want to get into any trouble,” she had kept saying.“What trouble are you talking about?” I had asked, confused. “You are the only one I can think of right now who can get a good truck, and I need one right now to move things out of this building,” I told her.“Well, I can send you the cell number of someone you can call,” Gina suggested.“I need you, Gina, not a stranger!” I had blurted out in desperation and exasperation. “What could I have possibly done that you wouldn’t even do that for me right now? I am being evicted,” I had added.Tears had begun to flow, and I was getting weaker.“Please, Gina, I am asking that you help me,” I pleaded deeply with her. “In less than an hour, if I don’t leave, things are going to get really messy for me,” I added.After a few seconds of hesitation, Gina eventually spoke.“I will be right there,” she had responded.After the call, I turned to
MARKIt was Brent who called, so I had to hurriedly go to him, and I wouldn’t have gone because the situation at hand with Alexa, but Brent said that it was very crucial.He was headed to my company, and so I had no choice but to be there as well.However, on my way to my company, I hastily called Vector.“Mark, is everything okay?” Vector asked the moment he picked the call. “How is Alexa?” He asked, sounding more worried.“She is the reason I am calling,” I responded.“What’s wrong?” Vector asked.“I hope you are not having a busy morning, but I need you to leave whatever you are doing right now and go to Alexa’s business company right now,” I instructed him.“She went to work today?” Vector was stunned.“Donald Shell is trying to act funny,” I stated.“I knew that he wouldn’t just give up like that…damn,” Vector said hatefully without even hearing the full story.“Listen, Vector, I need someone I can trust around her right now,” I hastily said. “I am on my way to my company, but it
