Too Pushy

ALEXANoelle and I were discussing some patterns and designs in my office.“The pop-star sent in a mail through his manager that he is in need of a wardrobe makeover,” I told Noelle.“Is he going on another tour?” Noelle asked suggestively.I didn’t quite catch her tone until she I looked at her and saw the mischief in Noelle’s eyes. I smiled thinly and shook my head at her.“He didn’t mention,” I simply said.“Well, I was hoping that if he was, you would let me go for this one,” Noelle said lightly, sounding like a giddy high school girl.What was wrong with her? What was the excitement about?“Why do you want to be the one to go this time around?” I asked Noelle, basically out of curiosity.“Maybe I might find a foreigner that would fall in love with me and I wouldn’t have to come back here,” Noelle said, her eyes dancing with a teasing glint. “I am actively thinking of falling in love for real and just settling down,” she divulged, much to my surprise.Noelle had never spoken about

His Infuriating Presence

ALEXAAside from the fact that Noelle didn’t want me to let Mark in, I also didn’t, but then again, this was more than an ordinary visit.I knew that it had something to do with my dad’s company.I placed my palm over the receiver and said to Noelle, “It’s for my dad’s company.”Why I needed to explain to her the reason why I had to let him in, I couldn’t tell, but I just found myself doing it, and I couldn’t look back.Noelle rolled her eyes in disgust, making me want to tell my consultant to not only tell Mark to go away, but to also refuse him from booking an appointment, but I knew deep down that I couldn’t. I owed it to my dad not to, even though at some point, he became my less favorite person after taking the sides of Ivy and her mother.Anyway, that was in the past now.“If it’s not work related, I am definitely sending him away,” I said again to Noelle.Again, I found myself giving explanations that weren’t necessary. Then I removed my hand from the mouthpiece and said, “Let

A Thrill For Me

MARKI was really sick of Alexa’s attitude. Initially, the moment the consultant told me that Alexa would see me, I had intended to be cordial with her by complimenting her progress. We would be working together for a while, and I just wanted to create a conducive working relationship with her, but apparently, she was still hostile like the devil.Running into Noelle at the hallway on her way to her office and getting the disdainful look really pissed me off. I knew that Noelle never liked me and we never got along, but that shouldn’t have given her the right to act in a disrespectful manner. I had been with both Ivy and Alexa, and on both cases, Vector had been cordial with the both of them. I understood that Vector was blackmailed by Ivy, but even at that, he wouldn’t have disrespected Ivy.And even now that I was neither with any of them, he still never disrespected any of them, and I expected the same level of maturity from Alexa’s friend. I had been tolerating it for a while now

Riled Up Again

MARKSomething about working side by side with Alexa made my blood bubble with thrill and intense anticipation.I would get to deal with this part of Alexa that I never had the opportunity to.This time around, it would not be the usual brush-offs and brief running into each other and hateful glares. No, this time around, I would actually get to see Alexa come into the room with her A-game and working techniques and values. This was something that I never got to see, but I would, and it made me excited like a little boy, which was amusing, because about an hour ago, on my way here, I wasn’t feeling this way. I had felt as though it was a huge burden, and that was majorly as a result of the hostility that she had been throwing my way recently.“Do have a nice day, sir,” the consultant said when I got to the reception area.“And you too,” I waved at her.But she had a skeptical and confused look on her face, and I didn’t know why she was looking at me that way until I caught my reflect

Ache And Pain

ALEXA“As much as Alexa is the best male fashion stylist in Paris, I don’t want her services.”Those were his words, and I heard him loud and clear. This time around, it wasn’t some recorded evidence. I heard them with my own ears and I didn’t miss any words.Not that I doubted what Donald had recorded and given to me to listen to, but it didn’t hurt as much as hearing him say these words. It was as though Mark was saying them to me directly, and not to Donald.Why did he always feel the need to talk down on me in the presence of Donald?What wrong did I ever do to Mark other than to love and worship him and even sacrifice years of my life to taking care of him without grumbling or complaining for once even though he never reciprocated it for once, or even appreciated it?My heart broke into a tiny million pieces.Just when I thought that he couldn’t hurt me any deeper, he sank lower and right now, I wished that I hadn’t accepted his proposal to work together. What was so hard about m

Offer To Help

ALEXAWe arrived at the restaurant and went to the table that Donald had reserved for the both of us.“It’s a beautiful restaurant,” I complimented.One thing I had noticed about Donald was the fact that he was always intentional about everything. His flowers were always fresh, expensive, and with great fragrance, and the few times I had allowed him to take me out were always to really nice places.“You think so?” Donald asked.“I know so,” I responded as he pulled out a chair for me.I sat down before Donald went over to his own chair and took his seat. Right now, I felt less hurt and pained than I was, which made me conclude that I made the right choice in accepting his invitation to lunch.“But it’s a little empty and scanty,” I stated as I looked around.For a beautiful restaurant, I had expected to see guests and patrons. Donald smiled.“This is our moment, Alexa, and I didn’t want it to be ruined or interrupted,” Donald said, sounding romantic.That made me feel a little uncomfo

A Raving Intruder

ALEXA“What do you say?” Donald asked me when I wasn’t forthcoming with a response.I swallowed the saliva hanging on my throat, confused and speechless at the same time. I thought this was just a regular lunch with a friend. Maybe I should not have told him.“Alexa?” Donald called, drawing my attention to himself.“Yes,” I responded, snapping out of my thought.Not that I didn’t hear him. I just didn’t know what to say and there were a million thoughts going through my head at the moment.“You haven’t given a response to what I just said,” Donald reminded me on what I already knew.His points were valid and reasonable, but what he didn’t understand was that decision like this wasn’t easy to make. I mean, if I could, I would not have agreed to work with Mark from the beginning. I did fight it, but my dad made me understand that it was deeper than the emotions I felt and the anger I was carrying.He was well aware that Mark didn’t treat me right, and even though we had had our fair sha

Dismissive

MARK“Mark, can we talk?” Mr. Devon asked me after knocking and I asked for the door to be opened.I wasn’t really thinking when I did. If I had known that he was the one, I probably would not have let him come in. I had just returned from meeting up with Alexa which didn’t turn out well anyway, and I was still trying to settle in.I wanted to turn him down again, but I changed my mind.“Yes, Mr. Devon, please come in and have your seat,” I told him.“Thank you,” he said with relief and sat down. “So what is it do you want to talk to me about?” I asked him.“About the attempt at sabotaging this company which I found out when you were away,” Mr. Devon started.But I held up my hand to stop him from going forward with the conversation.“I should stop you right there, Mr. Devon,” I told him.“Why?” He asked worriedly. “Don’t you want to know something that is a threat to this company?” He asked me further.“I am not interested about that for now, Mr. Devon,” I told him. “There are other

One Way To Go About It

ALEXA“He wants a dinner date with my dad,” I found myself complaining to Noelle the moment I got back to my office.Of course, Noelle didn’t share my worry, and I began to wonder why on earth I had told her.She was smiling.“This isn’t funny, Noelle,” I chided her.“Why not?” Noelle asked.“How is it funny? What does he want to see my dad for?” I asked Noelle as though Donald hadn’t stated his reasons clearly.“That’s the right thing any responsible man would do,” Noelle prompted.“That is not the point right now,” I said, rolling my eyes. “Can you stop thinking past wanting to matchmake Donald and I so badly?” I requested.“I don’t see why you are worrying, Alexa,” Noelle insisted. “In all honesty, I am thrilled,” Noelle added, much to my dismay.This was the exact reason I had begun to find it really hard for me to converse with Noelle and have some conversations with her, especially the ones that concerned Mark and Donald. When I was still very much with Mark, she hated him so mu

Strange And Different

ALEXA“Give me your address let me come and pick you up,” Donald told me over the phone as I got dressed for the dinner with my dad.“I will give you my dad’s address instead and you can meet me there since we already scheduled a time,” I stated.“Alright, Alexa,” Donald said without fighting it or pushing. “That will do,” he added. Then before he ended the call, he added by saying, “See you soon.”That sounded really intimate and personal, but I dismissed it.After the call, I sent the text to Donald and continued with getting dressed for the dinner. I meant it when I said that I didn’t want Donald to know where I lived now. I noticed that he had this thing of always showing up unannounced. When I still lived with Noelle, and worse, at my office.Showing up with flowers and offers for lunch seemed really sweet and thoughtful, but I just wasn’t feeling it much, because in all honesty, I wasn’t even looking for that kind of attention. I didn’t want it, and I thought that by now, Donald
