LOGINMARKI closed earlier than usual because I couldn’t stop thinking about the information I heard, and I wanted to tell Alexa about it badly.This wasn’t something I didn’t want her to be in the dark about. She really needed to know who Donald Shell really was.But then again, I was still displeased about how she had thrown me out of her house, and hadn’t even called. I was certain for a fact that she had called Donald, trying to pacify him.“Sometimes you confuse me, Alexa,” I said to myself.Alexa’s body responded to me without delay, but was her heart with me or with Donald Shell?I couldn’t tell, but that didn’t mean that I was willing to get my ego trampled on more by going to Alexa. She might even begin to think that I had come to her for another round of lovemaking.“Maybe I should go through someone,” I mused.Mr. Silver was the first that came to mind, but I decided against it.I was doing everything possible to stay away from the Silver family. The man was also still very touc
ALEXA“I think it is good,” I lied.I chose not to go with my dad’s report because clearly, he wanted me to fire Matty Farm, hence, the reason he talked down on his effort, and the smile on Matty’s face told me that I made the right choice.My dad was trying every means possible to jeopardize every move I was making; I knew this already, so I would have to be careful not to let him succeed.“Although, I still have to go through it,” I added hastily.Regardless, I needed to check through, not wanting to leave any stone unturned or be blind to mistakes because I was trying to rebel against my dad.In all, I just wanted to balance things both ways.“I don’t have a problem with that, Alexa,” Matty told me confidently. “And if you find something you feel isn’t right, all you have to do is talk to me about it and I will work on it. Besides, this is your company, and you know it better. I am only here to help both of us,” Matty expressed deeply and genuinely.And this was the person my dad w
ALEXA“I cannot believe this,” my dad said through clenched teeth.Then he got up at the same time and went to the door, yanking it open to catch who was there, but there was no one there.However, we both knew what we heard.The person probably sensed that he or she had been discovered, and took to their heels.My dad sucked his teeth angrily before he returned to his seat, but I noticed that he wasn’t as strong as he had always been. Even his steps didn’t seem solid.“Is everything okay with your health, dad?” I asked him, becoming instantly worried.“Let’s not focus on that right now,” he snapped.And I knew that he would not say a single word even if I persisted. However, I made a mental note to call the nurse that had been hired by Mark to watch over him to find out about his health. If he hadn’t gotten up, I wouldn’t have realized how frail he looked.And that bothered me deep down, but then again, my dad was too stubborn and upset to talk about it.“You have explained the meani
ALEXAI went to my dad’s company; it was simply easier to refer to it as that, and I was surprised to see my dad’s car parked in the parking lot.“Well, someone decides to remember the company today,” I said without anger.Eventually, I knew that my dad would come around.He probably didn’t think that I would be able to pull things off up till this point, but I guess that at the end of the day, he would have to admit that I had done what he never thought I was capable of doing.I also noticed Matty Farm’s car in the parking lot as well.I tried not to think about Noelle leaving my business. Yes, I started this alone because it was my dream, but Noelle had been there all along, and when I eventually made her partner, I never envisioned that we would part ways like this.Regardless, I had no intentions of calling her or reaching out.“She has made her choice,” I told myself as I made my way to the front entrance.“Good afternoon, Miss Alexa,” Reyna greeted.“Good afternoon, Reyna,” I re
MARK“Do you need anything else for the day?” My secretary asked me after reminding me for the schedule left for the day.“No, I don’t,” I responded strictly.There were so many things that left me angry and frustrated, and I rarely cared what she thought of my countenance.Since I left Alexa’s apartment, she hadn’t even called, and calling her just seemed as though I was being thirsty.Yes, I was thirsty for her, but she kicked me out of her apartment, and sometimes, no matter how much I loved and wanted her, I just couldn’t allow her to trample on my feelings just like that. I had expected her to choose me over Donald, but she hadn’t.And then, the news of Mr. Devon’s accumulated wealth came rushing back.Being with Alexa made everything disappear, but after I left her and arrived at my company for the day’s work, the weight of it came crashing on me, and I couldn’t shake it off.Of course I wouldn’t be able to until everything was ironed out.I trusted Brent; I hadn’t met a lawyer
IVY“I haven’t seen you this eager for your doctor’s appointment,” Lina Barry told me.As much as I tried to hide my eager anticipation, I could barely. Since the last appointment, I had been counting the days before the next one.“I am not eager about anything,” I denied.Lina Barry, although being the only friend I had here, could be very discouraging; that was something I had noticed about her, which was exactly why I still hid the fact that I wanted to escape from here from her.No matter what and the impossibilities that she had posed before me, I knew that I would have to find a way.My only worry was that what happened the last time shouldn’t repeat itself again. Hopefully, the young doctor wouldn’t be changed again.Last week’s appointment had gone smoothly, and I ensured not to get carried away by his presence again and try to shoot my shot; that was what I did the last time that made him allow the older doctors to continue attending to me, or so I figured.Now more than ever
