ALEXA

Thankfully, the boardroom hadn’t been changed, but then again, over the years, nothing much seemed to have changed, and it broke my heart.

“Why didn’t dad do some work on this company?” I asked myself as I made my way to the boardroom.

He had dreams of growing the company and taking it to greater heights. We talked about it countless times when I still used to be his little princess. It was like a dream between father and daughter. I understood that it wasn’t very easy, being that he wasn’t getting the connections he needed, but still, lots of years had gone by.

This was far the least of what I expected.

I knocked gently when I got to the boardroom and the door was immediately opened to me.

It was one of the city’s lawyers. I recognized him immediately because he still worked at the city’s high court and he had been working there for long.

I became concerned immediately.

“Ah, Alexa, finally, you are here,” he stated as he stepped aside for me to get into the boardroom.

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   An Unforgettable Name

    MARKMr. Porshia had laughed.“You must really think I am either a child or stupid,” Mr. Porshia had said. “Looking at you, I can tell that you are not older than twenty-eight, at most, and I am in my forties,” he had told me. “What makes you think you can outsmart a man like me?” He had asked me.Then I had placed my school ID on the table, in front of him.“Mr. Porshia, you and I know that in business, age is just a number,” I had said.Mr. Porshia had looked at my ID card for a few seconds and tossed it to me.“And you think I should be listening to a kid in business school who is only in his second year?” Mr. Porshia had asked.“Before I came down here, I have been working side by side with my dad since I graduated from college. He only sent me here to sharpen what I have learnt from him,” I had said, sitting up straighter. “I know you don’t know my dad’s company because you don’t live in Paris, but you can check it out for yourself,” I had said.Then without waiting for him to d

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Old Friend

    MARKI forgot about my conversation with Mr. Devon and continued with work because it wasn’t relevant to me. I didn’t even take it as a threat because Mr. Devon had no right to throw threats around. Besides, he was just a toothless bulldog.Until I was done with fixing everything I needed to fix in my company, and of course, got report from Brent on his secret investigation, only then would I decide on what to do with Mr. Devon.Then I remembered the call I promised Alexa I would make during our last meeting. I took my phone and quickly dialed his number. I wouldn’t dare forget anything about her again.The call connected almost immediately.“This is Mr. Porshia’s office,” the voice of his personal assistant answered. “Good day to you,” I said into the phone.“Mr. Porshia is taking a break right now,” she said. “Could you tell me your name and leave a message?” She requested professionally.“I want to speak with him directly,” I told her.This wasn’t about leaving a message, and sinc

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Letting Her Know

    ALEXA“How many more of this design do we have left?” I asked my secretary.“About four of them,” she answered, holding her tab.“That means we are running out fast, aren’t we?” I asked her.“Yes, Miss Alexa,” she answered.“We will need more of it, so include it in our next purchase,” I told her.“Yes, ma’am,” she answered.Then I went ahead to continue checking out all that we had in the showroom. It was important that I did this regularly so that we wouldn’t run out of stock. However, I wasn’t supposed to do the checking up today, but I wanted to occupy my hands and mind with something so that I wouldn’t think about the conversation I had with Donald Shell in his car, and the little squeeze he gave me in his car.It wasn’t very painful, but I still couldn’t get over it.There was just something about it that made me feel unsafe, as though a man had been violent with me. I was married to Mark for five years, and although he didn’t love me or show me any form of care, he was never c

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Strong Confidence

    MARKLeaving Alexa hadn’t been my desire, but I didn’t have much choice because this was business, and my company was still a priority.I spent the next couple of hours speaking to the client in my office as we deliberated on a lot of things, especially the new project we will be embarking on together. By the time he left my office, we had made final arrangements on when and how to move forward with the project.This was a big contract for my company, and I intended to leverage on it to get many bigger contracts.The moment he left, Mr. Devon walked into my office.“You could have knocked, Mr. Devon,” I immediately told him. “I don’t appreciate walking into my office just like that,” I said.Mr. Devon looked stunned and hurt at the same time.The last time we spoke was when I had tried to ask him some questions, but he hadn’t been able to answer to anyone of them.“I apologize,” Mr. Devon said.Then he went back out, shut the door gently, and knocked properly. I was a little surprise

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   What We Must Do

    ALEXAI had never felt this embarrassed in my entire life, and worse, Reyna was present. She acted like a professional lady who didn’t hear what Donald had just said, but she did hear.“Donald,” I called him warningly.“Is your meeting still ongoing?” He asked. “I figured that you would have rounded off with it by now and I wanted to come and pick you up myself,” he added, checking his wristwatch.Well, it was a good thing that Mark had had to leave early because I didn’t want the both of them in the same space. Also, I had planned to spend some more time at the company after the meeting, but with Donald’s attitude, I would have to put that on hold until another day. Fortunately for me, I had already taken a few look before Mark arrived, so I guessed that would be enough for me for now.“No, it’s done,” I answered tightly. “Let me just grab my bag so that we can leave,” I added hurriedly.“Of course, honey,” Donald said with a charming smile.Gosh, I almost cringed.The endearment itc

  • Till Divorce Do Us Part   Make It Public

    ALEXAThe rest of the meeting went by in a flash. Besides, right after Mark said he knew someone he could call, we didn’t have much to talk about.“I will await your feedback then,” I simply said.Then Reyna had brought some biscuits and tea, and even though she didn’t say who it was from, I already knew that it was from Mark. I wasn’t stupid. However, I didn’t touch any of it. I did notice the way Reyna stared at Mark when she came to serve us, but I looked away, because if I looked for too long, I would become jealous.“And when should I be expecting it?” I asked Mark.“If all goes well, I will get in touch with you tomorrow,” Mark answered.“An email will be fine,” I told him stiffly, not bothering to look at Mark.I was still angry about what he made me do, and I still intended to speak with him about it, but I was waiting for the meeting to be over.“Alright,” Mark said after a few seconds of hesitation.We fell silent, and Mark’s ringing phone saved the moment. “May I?” Mark as
