"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.
He had lost this battle.Alexandra’s words ringed in his ears over and over again, dulling out the pain of his busted lips for a short amount of time before he doubled over and began to laugh uncontrollably.He, Syrian Cross, had lost a battle, to a mere businesswoman that believed she knew it all. The thought of it made his entire existence feel like a joke and with each passing second, he found it more funnier and laughed louder as his body shook.While this was going on, Alexandra simply watched him, not fazed one bit by his sudden change in demeanor. One second reality was raining down hard on him and the next second he was laughing like a maniac. Alexandra had seen his type, watched them crumble and later on dealt with them.Psychos like him were no skin off her nose.After a short amount of time had gone by, Syrian finally stopped his theoretical display and wiped an imaginary tear off the corner of his eyes.“How laughable.” He mused and fixed his gaze on Alexandra. It was diff
Money laundering. Fabrication of paper companies and even evasion of taxes. All of the Cross’s family crimes were put into light for the display and entertainment of the world.Alistair couldn’t have felt happier.Staring at the screen of his phone and reading the trending hot news article, the blonde felt like half of his goals had already been archived.Of course this didn’t happen by his very own hand, but he was well aware of the person behind the deed. While People might have been running wild on the internet and butting heads together and trying to find the anonymous person who had tipped the media off about such a huge scandal, Alistair knew all too well who it was.Swiping the news article away, he proceeded to his phone book and dialed on Alexandra’s number which was saved in his phone list. The line seemed to ring on for a while and after some time he was directed to voicemail.‘The hell?’ He thought as he pulled the phone away from his cheeks to glance at it. In all of thei
[Won’t be able to stop by your place, heading out to have drinks with a friend.]Darius read the message displayed across his screen as he held his phone up with one hand while the other held a shaving razor against his chin. He sighed out seconds later and placed his phone down on the wash hand basin as he continued shaving.Great, now he had to go out and buy the very same groceries that Quinn had finished. He couldn’t remember how many times he had warned her to go easy of his groceries. Not because he was financially strapped, but rather because he found going grocery shopping a hassle and ordering online was just as useless, the thing never works out well for him.“Just great.” He muttered after scraping the last of the shaving cream off his face and leaned down to splash water across his face.After that, he looked in the mirror to ensure that he had shaved well, only to see that he had missed a spot. He picked up the shaving cream and applied it on the subtle spot he had missed
“Talking in the open seemed too much like a hassle.” Alexandra informed Leonardo as Zion poured them each a cup of steaming hot coffee.Seated within the walls of one of Grey Enterprise’s many conference room, Leonardo allowed his gaze travel for a few seconds, admiring the interior of the company he had never gotten to see. Finally when his gaze landed on the steamy cup of coffee, he flinched and made no attempt to pick it up.Alexandra on the other hand, she took a sip from her cup, relished in the feeling before tilting her head in Leonardo’s direction. “Do you think I poisoned it?” She asked with a smirk and when the male flinched once more, her assumptions were confirmed. “Doing that is too much trouble for me. And besides, you are not worth killing.”He wasn’t worth killing? Did that mean that he was finally off her radar? Leonardo thought as he watched Alexandra place her cup down and fix her gaze solely on him.As if reading his mind, she uttered. “Don’t have foolish thoughts,
