CHAPTER 4

“What the fuck!” Alex growled. Jace turned with a questioning look, “someone took a picture of me and posted it on the internet again” he angrily said and Jace took a glance, it was a side photo of him coming down from the plane. 

“But that's impossible,how the hell did the unknown person got to know we would be coming tonight? Our trip was discreet” Jace mutters in confusion but loud enough for alex to hear.

“I don't fûcking care, everytime we are in L.A this happens and it has to stop.I just have to figure out who that motherfucker is and have he or she dealt with” Alex said his hold on his phone tightens.

The remaining drive to the penthouse was complete silence.

—--------- 

“This is just the beginning Alexander, am gonna bring you down” the man chuckled darkly whilst looking at his phone, it was the trending news of the youngest billionaire with the headlines CEO of AJ styles returns to the states after his father's death.

“I just need to find some kind of weakness to wreck you complete now that you are back” he mutters to himself and receives a call.

“Sir the job is done, it's all over the internet” the caller said. And the man smiled “Yes, you will get your pay before midnight” he replied and ended the call.

“Debbie,you have been in there for hours what are you painting?” Kate questioned walking into Debbie's room and she gasps at the paintings.

“Wow sis you are good!” Kate compliment. “Of course I know am the best” Debbie replied proudly swaying her hair with her right hand. Kate chuckles. 

“We are gonna make alot of sales with these paintings tomorrow and we could get some things for you to school ”debbie smiled. “Awwn thanks sis” Kate gushed and went to hug her sister.

The doorbell rings and they went out only to see zara panting “Guys!! I got an interview at Alex's company tomorrow” she squealed with excitement jumping into Debbie's body.

“Am so happy for you zar” Debbie hugs her back warmly. Kate congratulate her and hugs her as well. “So Debs you would have to follow me there,please” Zara pleads. “What no way, I can't I don't wanna involve myself with people and you know that” Debbie disapproves.

I know but come on, with you there I won't feel nervous pretty please Debs with cherry on top” Zara insists giving her the cutest puppy eyes. “Ugh fine I would come along” she agrees rolling her eyes.

“Next time that won't work on me” she frowns and Zara giggles. “Kate you would have to get to the store without me am sorry” Debbie said. “It's okay sis, I can take care of myself” Kate responded.

Debbie and Zara laughed “college student indeed” they chorused. “Oh please, a proud one at that!” Kate responded cockily “One more thing Alexander Jefferson is back in the city, it's all over the internet but the comments about him ain't nice” kate added.

Yeah I saw that,he doesn't seem to give a fuck I love all his designs, he's my idol maybe I would get to see him during the interview” Zara responded sheepishly.

 “I'm a huge fan too I wish I could come along” Kate pouted.“Alright let's go to bed we need to leave early tomorrow” Debbie said. And they left to their rooms.

—-----

“I would be leaving now, tomorrow is going to be a long day” Jace said taking slow steps towards the door. “I would see you at the office” Alex answered.

Jace left. While Alex went upstairs to his room he stays alone because of his disorder. He walked to his bed after he had taken his bath and takes his drugs before dozing off .

NEXT MORNING

Alex gets ready to go to his office after so many years of been away,he takes a black suit from his rack with a white sleeve shirt putting it on leaving the first two buttons opened with black tailored pants. 

“Shit am almost late” he mutters to himself looking at his watch as he climbs down the stairs. The maids saw him and greeted “Good morning sir” they bowed.

“Hey Xander my boy, welcome back son I couldn't come welcome you yesterday as it was already late come have breakfast” the chief maid smiled, she's the only person closest to Alex in the house. “No ma'am Pamela am running late I would get something to eat at the office”he replied.

Alex left the house and the driver greets him and open the door to his car, they drove out and headed to his company AJ STYLES.

—--------

Debbie we are running late for my interview, come down already” Zara grumbles.  “Am here now quit yelling” Debbie said. 

“Why are you dressed like you are the one going for the job” Zara chuckled looking at Debbie's outfit, she's putting on a straight black sleeveless gown accentuating every corner of her body and tieing her hair in a messy bun.

Debbie rolls her eyes “whatever, Kate am leaving now see you later” she said and they left the house.

Took a cab and stopped right in front of the gate and they saw a bold sign with the writings  AJ STYLES CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES COMPANY.

They stepped out. “Oh my world, this place is huge” Debbie gasps. Zara just stood drooling “I am so getting this job, this is a fûcking skyscraper! Screaming money!!” Zara screames 

“C'mon let's go in before you drool on me” Debbie drags Zara into the building. They got in and met with a lady by the counter.

“Good morning please am here for the interview” Zara told her. “Alright just take a sit with the others you will be attended to shortly” the counter lady said with a smile.

Jace was already in his office,he had gone to Alex's office earlier on but didn't meet him there. He started with the interview, getting bored it's been an hour and none of the ladies reached their requirements.

 “Gawd this sucks and where the hell is alex,he should be here” he mutters “please you can leave call in the next person” he said to the girl who can't stand properly on an heels.Then why come for an interview!.

“Debbie it has been an hour, all the girls going in they come out with a long face I'm scared” Zara said to  Debbie anxiously. “Don't worry Zar aren't you my lioness? You will go in and come out smiling like a fool” Debbie laughs, Zara couldn't help but laugh along.

“I need to use the restroom I will be back” Debbie said and left. She couldn't find her way around the doors and opened a door only to see that it was the balcony wanting to go back she heard sounds.

 “I didn't do it- I didn't do it” the voice repeated in distress. She move in that direction.
