Alexandra's POV “Sir?” I questioned, my shoulder slumped in disappointment. Tears were threatening to fall down my cheeks as I stared at my team leader. “You heard me, Miss Acosta.It's all about quality control. I need you to redo this task to ensure we maintain our high standards,” Mr. Stephenson, my team leader, ordered coldly and I felt a knot tied in my stomach. Taking a deep breath, “I understand you, sir. This is the fourth time I will be redoing this. Handling scope creep and project changes doesn't….” He interrupted me, his fingers halted on his laptop. “Let's aim for excellence, shall we? I'm counting on you to deliver nothing but the best. Go do your work, Miss Acosta,” he instructed dismissively and I nodded with a heavy heart before walking back to my desk. I wanted to scream but my heart felt really heavy that I wanted to just cry my eyes out. I dropped my head on my desk, slamming the files on it. “I hate this! I really hate this!” I screamed in my head before

Julian's POVHaving the desire since childhood to be a self-made billionaire, an important figure without using my family's name or influence, got me overwhelmed.I joined The Dual-Life Squad organization, they were the first to invest in my company, getting me more contracts and introducing me to many things I had no idea existed.The clause of all this is, I have to be a stripper. Leaving a dual life to them is to maintain our power and influence. Also, the male stripper club was owned by a member of the organization, Marcus, my close friend. This is also a way of helping one another out. At first, I felt disgusted and disrespected for having to do stuff like this. But after many times of watching ladies drool at the sight of my chiseled body, I found it enjoyable and always looking forward to every Thursday.Today's celebration was an impromptu party, I wasn't expecting to be here at all. But the leader, Dagnus, wasn't an easy person to have a feud with. Many times, I have had the

Alexandra's POVBREAKING: CEO CAUGHT IN SHOCKING SCANDAL!“CEO Julian Scott Embroiled in a Torrid Affair with a Mysterious Woman! Caught Red-Handed at 6 AM Breakfast Tryst!”“Who is this mysterious woman? Is she a secret agent? A supermodel? A billionaire in disguise?”“To me, she is definitely not the CEO material... unless the company is going for a 'barfly' vibe,”“Love is love, who are we to judge? The CEO needs to be happy too. PS; don't @ me!”“That dress is so last season… or last decade! And those shoes? More like 'clown shoes' than stylish footwear,”“Is the company's board of directors involved in a cover-up? It's been more than an hour now, are they trying to sweep this under the rug?”I gave Sarah back her phone, my heart was heaved with sobs as I read the comments concerning how I was dressed. I can't believe I was ridiculed, I looked down at my shoes before wiping my tears.Something needs to be done!I proclaimed in my head, briskly picking up my phone and called his li

Julian’s POV “Scratch that. Tell me about Alexandra,” I asked, watching her reaction. Blush crept on her cheeks as she hid the sheepish smile that formed on her lips. “Why would you use that tone?” She asked, playing with her fingers. Her lips were pressed together into a thin line. I raised a brow, “What tone?” She raised her head slowly before she slapped the air teasingly. “We are the only ones here. There won't be a need to flirt with me, making the walls believe we are in a relationship,” my eyes shone astonishment when I heard her. Where is that coming from? She shyly met my gaze and I couldn't stop the smile that curled on my lips.

Why would you take alcohol?” She scolded softly. “A glas

Alexandra's POVThe Next Day.I walked into my office, my eyes scanned the whole place in awe. I can't believe I have been really promoted as the chief strategy officer.The office was really spacious and I sat on my swivel chair, twirling around while giggling.“Aside from being rude, he knows my taste,” I affirmed, hitting the chair’s arm. Standing up, I went to drop my bag in the mini sitting area.I love how everywhere was painted in white, coupled with transparent doors. I went back to my desk, about to get to work when I heard footsteps approaching.Instantly, I got tense before the door suddenly opened and Sarah badged in. I defensively stood up, looking at her with expanded eyes.“You should have knocked, Sarah,” I scolded gently as she slammed the files on my desk.She scoffed, “The Favoritism recipient is now acting like a senior. Really?” She mocked, glaring at me and I was tongue-tied.“I expected you to do more than this, Alexandra. How can you stoop so low to even date t
