MARKI had to invite Vector to be present when interviewing the potential maids even though I had already initially given the task to Ivy, which she seemed excited to do.Somehow, a part of me just didn’t trust her to do a fantastic and perfect job like Alexa would have done, and I was right, because after seeing her interview about six women, I knew that she was doing a horrible job at it.“How come she can’t even find a suitable maid for me?” I asked Vector, sounding low so that Ivy would not hear what I was saying.We were all sitting in the living room, but because my living room was spacious enough, Ivy and the women being interviewed occupied one part of the living room while Vector and I stayed at the other corner of the living room. If Alexa had been in charge, there would not even have been need for me to stick around like a supervisor. When Alexa was here, I knew next to nothing about the affairs of my home, and I never envisioned that I would be, but with the way Ivy was g

IVYAs soon as Mark and Alexa walked out of the living room to Mark’s study, I knew that I couldn’t take it. I just couldn’t stand here and watch Alexa work her charms on Mark, even though I was angry with Mark for demanding privacy with Alexa instead of kicking her out.I began to follow them angrily, determined to disrupt whatever private meeting Mark wanted to have with her when I felt a strong arm grab my wrist.For a moment, I thought that it was one of Mark’s bodyguards, and I was ready to bite his head off when I realized that it was Vector. I had totally forgotten that he had been in the living room as well all along.“What is the meaning of this, Vector?” I asked Vector, glaring at him.“Don’t do anything stupid,” Vector said, carefully releasing my hand. “Let them be, Ivy,” Vector said.It was not a command; no, there was no way Vector would be able to command me, because he knew exactly what I held over his head, but it sounded more like a plea.“You are asking me to let th

MARKI could rarely believe that Alexa agreed to it. I had almost thought it was a dream, but when we went back to the living room to meet Ivy and Vector and Alexa did not walk out, I knew that she meant the acceptance.“Can she leave now?” Ivy asked the moment Alexa and I came out of my study.She looked angry and upset, but then again, she was the least of my worries. Meanwhile, Vector had a look that I could not quite explain.“No, she is not leaving now,” I answered, deliberately ignoring the look on Ivy’s face.“And why not?” Ivy asked, astonished and upset.“Because she is going to be helping me with the interview,” I announced.I had been tempted to tell Alexa about Doctor’s Jones’s prescription, but if I did, I knew that she would think I was crazy, and she would leave and never speak to me again; the Alexa I knew now was very well capable of doing that. So I decided to use her services in the area that seemed reasonable. Surprisingly, and fortunately for me, Alexa hadn’t need

ALEXA“Why did you stay back and help his ass?” Noelle asked angrily.She didn’t even let me get into the house and relax before bombarding me with questions. She had been calling me nonstop as soon as I left Mark’s house, and I had to pick up and explain what happened briefly to her so that she would not blow up my phone.And now, I was having this feeling that I had made a terrible mistake.“I am tired, Noelle. Please, can we do this another time? Maybe later after I have rested,” I tried to plead with Noelle, but I already knew that it was futile, being that she was angry as hell at me.“We are having this conversation right now, Alexa!” Noelle said loudly, standing in my way and preventing me from going up the stairs. “Have you forgotten so soon what he put you through?” Noelle asked angrily.“No I haven’t forgotten,” I answered even though it sounded like a rhetorical question.How could I have forgotten what Mark Ronaldo put me through? With him, I went through the worst neglect

ALEXAThe day was already filled with a lot of work as I went through new designs and arranged my fashion catalogue. I already had a personal assistant who took care of taking bookings from my clients, so I did not need to worry about my schedule. I had a client coming in at mid noon, so while I arranged my wardrobe, I patiently waited for him.Noelle called at almost twelve; she had been at her parent’s all day. Since our argument the other day, she had simply gone over to her parent’s, because the tension had been too high. I appreciated the space, but I also felt horrible. The only thing that had kept my mind off it was work, but seeing her call now almost devastated me all over again.“Noelle,” I said into the phone. “I want to apologize for…” I started but Noelle interrupted me.“Don’t be silly, Alexa, there is no reason for you to be apologizing!” Noelle said. She sounded happy and bright, and I wondered what had changed. “Really?” I asked.“Of course,” Noelle said. “I shouldn
