Not A Chance!

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

Doubts

MARK“I don’t think this is going to work,” I said to Mr. Silver’s lawyer.First of all, Alexa’s explosion had taken me by utter surprise. Granted, we weren’t particularly a fan of each other, and I knew that.Heck, I didn’t even plan to ever set eyes on her again, and I was only seated here because of Mr. Silver and what he claimed I owed him, otherwise, I would have absolutely nothing to do with Alexa Silver.But that hostility and venom in her eyes were something I had never seen in her before.I had seen all shades of annoyance and reactions based off of anger, especially since after our divorce, but never this, and I wondered what I could have done that made her to react that way. If I could act cordial and composed in a formal gathering such as this, why couldn’t she?“Why would you think so?” He asked me.I was surprised that he would be asking me that kind of question.“Did you not see her reaction or are you just pretending to ignore it?” I asked the lawyer.The man was exces

Worse Than I Thought

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

The Company I Want

ALEXAAfter leaving my dad’s company, I called Noelle.“Hi, Alexa, I have been waiting for your call,” Noelle said worriedly the moment the call connected.“Well, the meeting is over now,” I said tightly.I didn’t want her to catch the deep pain and anger in my voice, because that would make her more worried, so I tried to sound blank instead.“How did it go?” Noelle asked.“It went well,” I answered directly.There was no point in mentioning to Noelle that I would be working side by side with Mark Ronaldo. First of all, she didn’t like him, and secondly, I wasn’t in the mood for that. Talking about it might make me break down in tears, and I didn’t want to scare the cab driver.“Just well?” Noelle asked.Even though I wanted to prevent her from worrying, I still didn’t succeed.“Yes, Noelle, it went just well,” I told her.“Okay, but when you get here you will get me all the details, right?” Noelle asked me and I swallowed.That was exactly why I decided to call her right after getti

Mood Lifter

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

Woes Of Ex- Husbands

ALEXA“Gina?” I called her when I noticed that the color in her face completely disappeared.She seemed to snap out of her thought when she shook her head.“I asked what you have against Donald Shell,” I repeated.“Nothing,” Gina said.“But your reaction doesn’t state that it is nothing,” I insisted.“Honestly, I don’t have anything against him. To me, he is just like another man who is popular in the city, and I don’t really fancy them much,” Gina said. Then she hastily went on to ask, “I hope you don’t mind.”“No, I don’t mind, actually,” I said.I gave the wine to her and we sat down together.“I find that a little hard to believe,” Gina said carefully, but her tone was very light.It was exactly the kind of refreshing company that I wanted, and I just enjoyed talking to Gina. We weren’t of the same age, but it felt as though we were, and also, it was as though we had known each other for long.I smiled.“The truth is that, I used to like men like that,” I said in a reminiscing man

His Reasons

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

Striking Resemblance

ALEXAI had already decided that since the new office building had been successfully rented and decorated, I wanted us to move everything there so that we would have bigger space.“I am so happy!” My secretary bubbled with excitement. “This feels like a dream, because you started in less than half a year ago, and now, we are expanding!” She added happily.“It means more work and time requirement,” I reminded her.“I know that, and I am very prepared for it,” she responded with genuine enthusiasm.I didn’t mean to be a killjoy. I was supposed to be acting all excited, because this was a big change for me, and I was actually feeling happy deep inside, but I just couldn’t act that way outwardly.Maybe it was because in the last couple of days that had passed, I had avoided going to my dad’s company, or mine now, which I still felt was technically his, and more than that, Mark had been sending me emails but I just kept ignoring them, because I didn’t want to set eyes on him. His words sti

Secret Moves

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

Stuffed Admiration

MARKMr. Silver’s words hung in the air, tugging at my heartstrings. The man was damn right; I owed him, and the best I could do was help him out this one time. Since I knew Mr. Silver, he had never asked any favor from me, and it wouldn’t be nice to deny him this one time even though his daughter was being strong-headed.I understood that Alexa and I were on bad terms, but what I couldn’t fathom was her recent hostility, and I had no idea where it was coming from. I finally decided to leave her alone so that she could be with Donald, but that didn’t seem to be enough for her.“What more does she want?” I asked myself, deeply troubled.If it wasn’t for Mr. Silver’s deep request, I would not have made a move. I would not have accepted anything that would link me up with Alexa anymore, because I didn’t want to get into more scandals and complications. All I wanted to do now was focus on the growth of my company.However, being that I was on my way to Alexa’s store, I gritted my teeth.
