Alistair glanced at his phone once more after he had pulled into the parking lot of the flowery shop his was meant to pick up the bouquet Alexandra had ordered for Isabella. While planning for the birthday party on such short notice, Alexandra had assigned him with the task of getting and rounding together the birthday presents while she designed and sent out the invitation letters.Everything had been going well until he had a small meeting with a client and got carried away while discussing business. It was funny how well he adapted to the business world. Well he couldn’t one hundred percent say it was all his doing and his doing alone. There was the handwork Michael had constantly put in, the encouraging words from his grandmother and the constant push to keep moving forward from Alexandra.Although he was the older one by two minutes, Alexandra behaved more mature. She had her priorities set straight and knew where she was going. Alistair on the other hand was just doing this, not
Alexandra and Lucien stood outside on the balcony, isolated and alone from anyone else. The tension that hung in the air at that very moment was almost visible, it could be felt, like a thin veil blocking your wind pipe and making breathing a harder task than it possible can.Lucien inhaled deeply, getting himself ready for whatever talk was about to ensue between them. It was going to e serious, Alexandra knew this much and was ready for whatever talk Lucien had formulated in his head."Your five minutes is counting." Alexandra was the first to break the silence. Her gaze was fixed sternly on Lucien, leaving no room for flexibility nor jokes.Lucien swallowed. Since when was Alexandra so serious with everything she did?"Alexandra, concerning that day, I'm sorry for pestering you, I should have left the moment you asked me to." His words sounded genuine, earnest enough to make Alexandra bat a lash, but she wasn't folding for his speech just yet."If that's all you wanted to say, then
The first time Darius ever saw Alexandra was during their match on the race track. She had won their race by a huge margin, but yet he refused to accept the obvious fact.Hearing the whispers of the people who once praised him now praise Alexandra, angered him. He had already had to put up with crap from the deal he cover in Germany and although it had gone fairly well, he was still pissed with the result and he had lost to some rich entitled brat.Without thinking twice, he marched towards her and was prepared to rain all hell down on her, that was until she raised her helmet and shook her hair lose.Darius was overtaken for a moment by how beautiful she was. Unlike the other girls he had met while travelling around the world, Alexandra looked different. She had a tint of innocence to her look all the while look provocative in her outfit, it was a combination that even he didn't know was possible.Stunned by it all, the only words Darius could utter were arrogant disrespectful words.
The test of the party ended without a hitch. Lucien remained on the balcony as he had been in no mood to go back inside and remained outside overlooking as the guest fled from the party after a day of fun filled and stomach round event.He sighed out and relaxed on the railing and after a while, perked up when he saw Alexandra step outside, but seconds later his position flattered as Darius followed behind her. They both stopped in front of a black maybach vehicle- which Lucien suspected belonged to Darius- and chatted for a while.Being the son of a so called assemblyman and Paris best real estate developer and architect, Darius sure did live a low key life. If not looked at closely he could almost pass for a regular hot hunk.The male scoffed. Well at least not in Lucien's case.His train of thoughts were interrupted by a sound he knew all too well; Alexandra's beautiful and harmonious laughter.He directed his gaze down and watched as she laughter freely with Darius and the male la
"Thanks for tonight." Alexandra smiled as she escorted Darius out of the party premises. The male smiled back while nodding his head. He too had enjoyed the party equally."I didn't do much." He simply uttered as a matter of fact and turned to face his car. "As long as you enjoyed the night."His words made Alexandra smile but nonetheless she chuckled. "That's way too cheesy.""Was it?" He asked with a chuckle and she nodded back. "Damn." He muttered and ran his fingers along the base of his hair.Alexandra's eyes followed the movement of his fingers and lingered on his shiny black hair and then all of a sudden she reached up and stroked his hair while asking."When do you plan on getting a hair cut?"Darius felt his ears reddened at her sudden contact. Although it was not directly on his skin, he still felt a light tingle in the bottom of his stomach but refused to pull away."I've never thought of getting one. Haven't had my hair cut since middle school." He revealed."Is that so?"
~Two Months Ago.~Alexandra watched through the transparent window of the conference room on the second floor as Zion Miller scrambled around in a bid to find his way to her office. She had seen him through his profile records and knew how he looked and just as expected, he wasn't as capable as Michael.What a shame. But at times in life you have to sacrifice the precious things for greater good.The sound if her phone ringing was the first things that pulled her attention away from the window. She glanced at the screen of her phone and sighed out upon seeing the call she was receiving was from Ezra Heinrich.Well, with all of their meetings that she had either miss or put off, it was about time he called.Bracing herself, Alexandra pressed the phone to her ear as soon as the line had connected."Mr. Heinrich, hello, how are you." Her voice sounded professional despite all the tumors she had been through in the past week."Ms. Grey, how do you expect me to feel when my company is runn
Just as fast as their meeting had started, it had ended in more peace than Alexandra had imagined. Ezra had been pissed at first, but as soon as they stepped into the conference room and Alexandra got talking, his interest was once again piqued and just like half a year back, he took interest in doing business with her once more.“Two months is an awfully long amount of time to put a business meeting off for.” Ezra told her as they both stepped out of the conference room and Giselle rose to her feet, retrieving her coat from the coat hanger nearby.“Yes, I am aware of that and sincerely apologize for allowing my personal matters interfere with my business life.” Alexandra said and bowed her head subtly. She meant her every word and tried to show it as sincerely as possible.Seeing this, Ezra could no longer hound her on the matter and tucked his hand away in his pocket with a sigh. “I hope you keep up to your words this time around, Madam Grey.” Immediately after his words, his phone
It was just as Alexandra had predicted.It didn’t take more than an hour after she had stepped into the golf course, fully clothed in her golf attires, that Syrian stepped in.As she watched the blonde approach her with a casual walk while leaning on her golf club, Alexandra was disappointed to some extent. She had better thought that Anthony would have fallen prey to her traps, but sadly she got stuck with Syrian, the presidential wannabe.Well, either of them worked. Be it the smarter one or the dumber one, both were perfect for her to start her first act of justice.Alexandra waited until Syrian had come into close talking range before she leaned off her golf club and addressed him professionally. “Mr. Cross, you are late. One would have almost thought you left me hanging.”Syrian chuckled. “My apologies. There was a little dispute that caused a breach in my schedule, but best believe it will not happen a second time.”Alexandra nodded her head while thinking. ‘Of course there was.
