Chapter 13 M&M Foods

X&J EMPIRE, NEW YORK.

Xander furrowed his brows as he stared at the file before him. The proposal does not seem too apt to his taste. Reaching for the phone, he dialed his secretary, Lisa.

“To my office now.” He ordered, hanging up.

Lisa hurried into the office. “You called for me, sir.”

“What nonsense is this?” He questioned, pointing at the file. “I thought you all said you scrutinized the file and are confident we could trust this person? So if I didn’t bother checking, this is the nonsense I would have invested millions of dollars on?” As angry as he was, his voice held no spite to it.

She looked cornered. “I…I am sorry, sir.”

“You know how much I hate those words, Lisa. Don’t tell me sorry for something as costly as this. Call the others and tell them to toss out the proposal right now.” He growled, causing Lisa to scurry off.

Jace entered at the same time, looking behind him. “What did my lady do to you to warrant such yelling?” He asked, dumping himself int

    Chapter 14 The Call“You might break that screen if you keep staring at it like that,” Tania told Nina, her hands steady on the wheels.Nina sighed, consciously rubbing at her belly. “It's a surprise that he hasn’t called yet after saying he would reach out.”“Do not worry your pretty head too much. Xander looks like someone who would keep to his words. It would help if you got ready to leave for work now. I will drop you off.” She offered.“Thanks, Tania.”“Anytime. I will get some Chinese on my way back. I hope you wouldn’t mind.”“I would love that.”Nina’s phone rang, and she was surprised to see an unknown number. She has just a few people on her line. It mainly was Asher, Andrea, and his parents. With their fallout, she had blocked all four of them. Tania, Samson, her boss, and Xander are the only ones with her contact now.“Why aren’t you answering the call?” Tania asked as she turned the car into another street.“I don’t know who is calling.”“Didn’t you apply to some companie

    Chapter 15 The New MarketX&J EMPIRE, NEW YORK.“X&J,” Nina repeated as she entered the ground floor of the building. It was bustling with activities, and many people moved around that she feared a stampede might happen.When Xander had casually mentioned that he owned one of the wealthiest enterprises in the country, she almost didn’t believe him. But when he sent a driver to get her down to the company with a luxurious car. She had to start believing him. Tania had been too excited at the sight of the vehicle and admitted how much she would like to be in Nina’s shoes.“Please, come with me, ma’am.” The driver urged as they weaved through the many people.They took a different elevator, which Nina guessed would be for the CEO, on getting to the office of the CEO, which, in other words, belongs to Xander. Nina had her mouth agape at its enormity. It would have been inappropriate if a building as magnificent as this possessed minimal offices. But then, it is more than Asher’s.Xander w

Thank you so much, Samson, for taking a chance on me. I have you to thank for this change of direction.”“So, when will you be leaving?”“Since I didn’t tell you before. I will work the counter today and tomorrow until you can find a replacement.”“That is super kind of you, Nina. Thank you so much.”“You are welcome. I will get back to work now.” Nina said.With her head bowed to put things in order, the door opened, causing Nina to raise her head. A light gasp escaped her lips at the sight of Andrea, who seemed carried away with the discussion she was having on the phone.“If only you had packed some in my bags, I wouldn’t have had to stop by the road to g

The door to the room opened, letting in Tania with a tray of food and Xander behind her.“Thank goodness you are awake,” Tania said, sitting beside her. “Before you say anything, you should take water. You must be thirsty.”She collected the glass of water and drank slowly from it. “What happened?”Xander sighed, pocketing his hands. “One of the customers found you unconscious on the floor and notified Samson. He found out from the CCTV that Andrea came to the store. How did she find the place?”“It was a coincidence. I believe if Andrea had known earlier, she would have come by. She came to get pads. I heard her talking to you on the phone, Tania.” She said.“That witch! I remember now. She was heading out of the house and expected me to be able to tell when her cycle would start. Blaming me for not putting a pad out for her. What did she do to you?” Ta

He needs more money pumped into the company as soon as possible if they intend to have any heads way. To make matters worse, Andrea isn’t exactly turning up as expected.His phone rang, showing his father as the caller. Asher picked up the call with less enthusiasm.“Yes, Dad.”Darren cursed from the other end. “What is this I am looking at, Asher? Why is our market value this low? What the hell are you doing?”“Dad, can you not yell? I am going through a lot at the moment. I don't believe it's my fault you went recklessly with your money; stop trying to make me the bad egg. As you asked, DDFoods are topping the sales chart because they found better ingredients for our best-seller, and the consumers are going crazy over it.”“Are you stupid?

You are not new to this. Don’t let yourself get worked up for nothing. It will all work out, trust me. So, what are your plans for the weekend?” “Why? You need me to do something?” “Err, I am not sure yet….” He drawled as the door opened, letting in an excited Dawn. “You know what? Let me call you back.” He said.“Sure,” Nina replied, ending the call. “Hey boo boo!” Dawn screamed as she rushed towards Xander. “Oh My Dawn!” Xander dropped the phone, stood up from where he sat, and pulled her into a hug. Dawn is his childhood friend and COO of X&J Empire. She had gone on a two-month leave and was returning from her vacation. He didn’t think he would miss seeing her around. “When did you retur

Nina looked up from the sweater she was crocheting. “What's going on? Why do you look so happy?” She asked. Tania exhaled like a fulfilled person and handed her an envelope. “Take a look at the content.”Nina raised a brow as she received it. Reading through it quickly, she gasped. “Oh, my goodness! Tania, this is such good news. Brooklyn College? That’s a big deal.” She squealed, clapping her hands. “This is my lifelong dream, Nina. I will finally study art history and learn as much as I want. And this is all thanks to you.” “Me? What did I do?” “You noticed my excitement whenever there’s a new art piece in the house. You made it a duty to always seek my thoughts on any new art piece that caught your interest and even praised me, saying I would make a good curator. So, I got more curious and started reading. I got my GED and then

He had invited Nina and Tania to have dinner with him at his house. He would have loved to have Nina alone, but he worried she might decline. But inviting her friend seems like a good idea. “I won’t say I am not. Nina is a long-time friend of mine, and I am just happy to have her around me.” The older woman smiled; she didn’t need anyone to tell her that there was more to his explanation. However, it felt nice to see Xander look radiant and bustling. He has never invited a female friend over except for the one who barges in like she owns the place. He hardly does anything aside from work. His diet and social life are unbalanced. He practically lives like a monk. She hopes this Nina lady will make a good impact in his life. “As long as your face keeps being this radiant. I don’t mind entertaining this woman every day.” Carla

Nina rolled my eyes, hiding her smile. “Oh, not today,” she tried to escape, but Xander quickly grabbed her. “Don’t you dare!” He laughed, tickling her that she laughed so hard. His hand reached for her bare thighs. And before she knew it, Xander grabbed her and pushed her down on the couch. It was fast! He pulled her legs apart and gave her breasts a rough squeeze. He positioned Nina just like he wanted. He yanked off his belt and tied her hand above her head. “Nasty, isn’t it?” Nina giggled.“Wait till I’m in full mood!” Xander removed her pants and sh

She had come in to change after Winter doused the other dress with candy juice as they were due to take pictures. Tania huffed tiredly. “How else do you want the dress to look on you, Nina? You look beautiful enough. Come on now, Winter would be waiting, wondering what her dearest mama is still doing hidden away.” Venus peeked into the room. “We are waiting for you. Nina, Winter is eager to cut her cake.” She called out. “Yes, Mum, I am coming.” She replied. Nina’s face fell as she stared at herself intensely. Tania walked up to her and rubbed her back slowly. “I wish he was here.” “You know he would have loved to be here. It would help if you stayed strong for you two. I believe better days are closer than expected.” Tania comforted. Nina smiled, glancing at Tania’s bulging belly. “Jace looks elated these days.” She laughed l

The section she is heading to must be the reason why. However, Nina has decided, knowing she is doing what suits a great cause, that she doesn’t mind whatever she has to do. “Hello.” She greeted the receptionist. “Hi, ma’am. Welcome. Who would you like to see?” “Uncle J.R. Oh, pardon me, I mean Dr Jason. Is he in? He is expecting me.” “You must be Miss Nina Ruiz?” “Yes, please.” “Alright, please come with me.” Jason was on a call when they walked into the office. At the sight of Nina, he smiled heartily. “Let me call you back, Dr Smith. My daughter just walked in.” He mumbled and hung up. Nina blushed at his referral. “Hello, Uncle J.R.” “How are you, my darling? Feels like ages.” He laughed, embracing her. “I am good. How are you, too?” “Great. Please sit.” He motioned towards the couch. “Thank you. So, I am yo

    Chapter 93 Two peas in a pudXANDER’S HOME, NEW YORK.Nina saw how nervous he was and felt bothered that she might have said something she shouldn’t. Relaxing her shoulder, she sat on the couch and faced him. Xander held up a weak smile. “Why don’t you tell me what you must say first?” He urged. She exhaled slowly and took his hand in hers. “We are not kids, Xander. Neither are we immature. Even though my first marriage was a wreck, I believe life continues. Being heartbroken does not mean one's life has to come to an end. Ever since you came into my life, I have been able to see things differently. I am learning to love and embrace life as it should. One thing I promised myself after being betrayed by Asher and Andrea was never to trust anyone. Also, I vowed off men, telling myself all I needed to do was work hard and get back on top. What mattered was getting back at the people who made my life a living hell.” Nina chuckled, still caressing his hand, “But I was wrong. I couldn’t

He turned to her, stopping halfway with his shirt button. “Why not?” “Because it's been two days. I need to get to work.” “Do it from home. Also, Tania would be coming today. Aren’t you excited to see her?” “I am, but…” She pouted, exiting the bed and wrapping her arm around him seductively. “Come on now, what happened last time will never happen again. I will defend myself no matter what.” “That right there is the problem. I don’t want you defending yourself no matter what. I have it covered. Please stay put here until Asher signs the court order, Nina.” Nina huffed in resolve, knowing there was no way out anymore. “Fine, I will just stay back.” She yawned loudly and sat at the edge of the bed, staring at his broad back. For the past few days, she has laid in Xander’s bed. He works until late at night, and she finds his arm wrapped around her wh

Despite his promise to meet with her two days back to celebrate her unexpected promotion, he didn’t show up and gave an excuse for being busy. She thought he would reach out afterward, but he still hasn’t called. Her hand trailed Winter’s sleepy face absentmindedly. She brought her to the office to take her around the place like the little one would understand what was happening. Regarding Xander, her inability to get angry at him is the most annoying thing for her. Instead, she is worried that something might be wrong; at the same time, her ego prevents her from calling him. Her eyes roamed her new office space, and it felt surreal. They made the immediate move of X&J Foods into the M&M building. Nina occupied the same office Asher had sat in as the CEO but with a significant redesign. She was more than happy to see Asher and Andrea beneath

In his distorted state, Asher noticed Andrea rushing out to her car. He let out a hiss, wondering what spa she had an appointment with again. He still can’t get over the fact that Nina holds the rein of a company he had dreamt of for years. She walked in without doing anything to reap where she didn’t sow. He let out a wince at the ache that struck his head. Suddenly, the door opened, letting in an angry-looking Leila. “Have you seen what your stupidness has caused?” She hollered. He held his aching head down. “What is it this time?” Leila screamed into her palm. “I told you to control yourself and not do anything stupid. But I don't remember you listening. Now everyone knows we have been humiliated by Nina. Everything that happened was written in the tabloids, every bloody thing.” Asher let out a slight cough. “Ca

So, M&M Foods is all yours now?” Jace asked for the umpteenth time.Xander laughed amidst the celebration going on in the lobby. “Yes, Jace. X&J foods will only get bigger and better from here on.”“Nina must be so happy.”“I am sure she is.” He mused while staring at her sweetly among the crowd. “That reminds me, Dawn should be here to celebrate with us. Where is she?”Jace shifted on his legs; Xander hadn’t checked his mail. “She must have informed someone of her absence.”“That is strange,” Xander said, checking his phone for any message she must have dropped.“Why not check your mail?”“Mail? Dawn hardly uses her mail unless it is for work. But then, let me check.” His brows furrowed when he indeed found a message from Dawn. It happened to be a resignation letter. “Take a look, Jace. She resigned. How am I just getting to know about this now? We still spoke a while back, and she didn’t mention an

She thought about what might be going through Xander’s head for the rest of the weekend. He had constantly evaded any means of them getting intimate beyond foreplay, and Nina was beginning to think he might not have as much interest in her as she did. Either that, or she is pushing too fast.Thinking about that alone had her on the edge, now returning to the same place where she had experienced so much humiliation it made her feel suffocated.Inhaling sharply, she gripped Xander by the arm. He turned to see her pale face.“Hey baby, are you okay?” He asked in a worried tone.Nina managed to put up a smile. “Yes, I am. I need to get to the restroom. I will join you soon.”“I will wait for you then.”“No, don’t do that. I know my way around here, remember?”Xander looked skeptical, but he chose to respect her privacy. “Alright, just call me if you need
