ALEXA“What is he doing here?” I asked hotly again when I didn’t get the response I was looking for.“Alexa, please, can you sit down for a bit?” My dad asked me politely, but I exploded hotly.“I am not sitting down until he leaves!” I bellowed.The hatred I felt deep inside of my reverberated in my eyes, so much so that it made my dad and his lawyer worried. As for Mark, I didn’t even bother to look at him, because I didn’t want to see what his reaction to my outburst was, and more than that, I didn’t even want to set eyes on him.The words he said to Donald came into my head again, infuriating me even more.“Alexa,” my dad called gently.“No, dad!” I yelled, not bothering with the fact that I was sounding disrespectful to my dad in the presence of two other men. “Tell him to leave right now!” I barked louder.I couldn’t even bring myself to mention Mark’s name; that was how bitter and infuriated I was.They were all quiet, watching me with worry in my eyes, as though I was crazy or

ALEXA As much as I hated this, I had no other choice, but even walking into the boardroom again with my dad and seeing Mark Ronaldo’s face ignited the anger in me.Especially as seeing him brought the words back to my head.However, I had to keep my anger and bitterness aside just as I promised my dad that I would.We spent quite a while talking in that empty office, and he did have a hard time trying to convince me, but what broke my defense was when he broke down in tears.“This company is far gone, Alexa,” he had said, deeply sad and dejected. “It is worse than what you are even seeing, and I assure you that you cannot do it on your own, especially with your brand that you also have to run. You need someone, Alexa, and the only person I can trust that will not steal from us is Mark Ronaldo. I mean, if you don’t believe me, isn’t this empty office space enough reason for you?” He had asked me deeply.That was when I had realized that truly, this was an office that was supposed to b

ALEXATrue to her words, Gina arrived at my doorstep in ten minutes.“That was fast,” I said when I opened the door and saw her standing there.“What you mentioned didn’t seem like a big problem, so I figured that I would come over and get it done immediately,” Gina responded.She sounded too professional for my liking.“Come in, please,” I said.I stepped aside for Gina to walk in and she did.Then I began to feel guilty for dragging her all the way to my apartment because I was craving companionship and she was the only one I wanted.The truth was that, being that I had always been around people all my life, I was still finding it slightly difficult to adjust to this new lifestyle. I liked it, actually, but then again, getting out of the habit of always having company and enjoying solitude was something that would take time adjusting to.“Where is what you talked about?” Gina asked.“Gina, is there a problem?” I blurted, because I didn’t like the way she was acting around me.She wa

MARKI arrived at work really early because like I said before, I was more than determined to fix things around my company and bring it to the top.The receptionist had already been replaced by someone else from the company, which was simply relieving to me.I grabbed the intercom and dialed my secretary’s line.“Come into my office,” I told her.A few minutes later, she walked into my office.“You sent for me, sir,” she said.“Have you forwarded all I asked you to send to me?” I asked her, checking my computer. “I can’t find anything here,” I added.She had a skeptical and confused look on her face, but she didn’t answer the question.“I just asked you a question,” I stated firmly.“No, I haven’t been able to,” she responded.“And why is that?” I asked her, already getting upset. “I asked you to send everything that belonged to this company to me, all of them from Mr. Devon, and you are yet to get that done,” I queried her without sparing words. “Are you tired of working here? Do you

MARKThe words of Mr. Devon seemed to trouble me, mostly because I had been running the company for years now and there hadn’t been any record of such, and the very first time he is being given the opportunity to be in charge for a few days, he came up with the case of sabotage.Well, I was determined to keep things going in my company, and I very well meant it.I could have asked Mr. Devon to give me full details of it, but I didn’t. After he told me, I simply requested for the password and left, which he didn’t send to me until some hours later. I didn’t ask him because I still wasn’t talking to him.I had gone through the files he sent, but I couldn’t quite find anything amiss.Anyway, I already knew what to do.If I wanted a quick response and something handled to perfection, I would have to use the right person, and so I waited for Brent in his office. His personal assistance gave me permission into his office to wait for me even though he was attending to some important matters
