FOUR: DISTRACTIONS.

Alex walked out of the living room with extremely slow steps. Though, he had successfully postponed his wedding, he still wasn't glad.

He wasn't a workaholic but he spent most of his time at the office. His personal assistant was literally his personal assistant. They spent almost all the time at work together and had gotten very comfortable with each other at that.

Changing his personal assistant wasn't going to be that much of a big deal. But changing it to someone who's presence he tried to avoid was a big deal.

He exhaled, as he made his way to the garden. It was a Sunday and he was spending the last day he had before officially resuming back to work at home. Dominique was home and though his mum was on a business trip, he could only imagine how she was handling things..

He didn't want to believe his dad when he said he had told her about it already thus he couldn't bring himself to call her and ask. Though it was mainly a business trip, she was also on a vacation and deserved nothing but rest throughout.

At least, until she got back to the hellhole they called a house.

"Alex?"

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his name. He didn't need to think twice though, he already knew Dominique was the one who called him.

"Dominique," he acknowledged his presence. "What are you doing here?"

"I was on my way to meet you," he said to him. "It has been a mess these past couple of days, has it not? I've heard all about it."

"All about it?"

"Just forget that for now," Dominique flashed him a suspicious smile. "You're on your way from your dad, right? Were you able to convince him to postpone your wedding?"

"Yes," Alex replied with a smile. "For as long as I want infact."

"Are you serious?" Dominique asked, wide-eyed. "Woah, how's that possible man? I thought you and your dad were both just going to scream at each other. How did you get him to agree with you?"

"By accepting to have his little mistress work as my personal assistant."

"What?!" Dominique literally exclaimed. "Elaine's going to work under you? Dude, that's insane."

.

"It is," Alex arched an eyebrow. "You seem to know a lot about this. You even know her name."

"I also know how you pretty much confronted her yesterday," Dominique nodded. "What was the reason, Alexander?"

"Excuse me?" Confused was an understatement for how Alexander felt. How did Dominique know about him talking to her and just what did he mean. "What do you mean?"

"I mean there was no reason for you to confront her pretty much scare the shit out of her. She did nothing wrong."

"Are you listening to yourself right now Dominique?" Alex felt irked. "She did everything wrong. She's the reason all of this is happening. The only reason for this madness. If not for her, my dad won't be thinking of getting married so suddenly-"

"When would you stop bothering yourself with your parents' problem?" Dominique cut him off. "If your father wants to get married, let him. He isn't a kid so don't you think you're being a bit ridiculous thinking she's the cause? Actually, I think you're just trying to look for someone to blame for your parents' sour relationship. When would you learn to leave them the fuck alone and worry about your own life?"

"This is also about my life," Alex retorted. "Because of her, my dad is getting me married."

"Oh, come on Alexander don't be silly," Dominique shook his head. "We both know she isn't the reason for that. It was always bound to happen. You're the first son and the heir to the Xavier family so of course your parents were going to force you to get married to someone they wanted whether she existed or not."

He looked away, trying to not make sense out of what Dominique was saying. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't working.

"If anything, you should be grateful to her right now," Dominique continued. "She's the only reason your dad was nice enough to have you postpone your wedding. I mean, if not for her you'd probably be trying on various wedding suits right now and sighing and whining like a lost puppy. So just get rid of your ego for once and realize the favour she's doing you."

"No," Alex replied. "She isn't doing me any favour and I'm not going to feel any ounce of gratitude towards her "

"Have it your way, cousin," Dominique pat him on the shoulder. "But you'll be working together with her from tomorrow. I believe it'll be better to put your hatred for her aside for a while."

Not giving Alex a chance to reply, he walked away.

"Ughh," Alex groaned. It was in such moments, Dominique proved to be older than him. And such moments were the types he hated the most.

He shouldn't have blamed her? If anything, he was to be grateful towards her?

Absolute ridiculousness.

Almost as he was about to finally take a temporary break from his thoughts, he stepped into the garden to spot Elaine sitting in it, few meters away from him. His first instinct was to turn and leave but for some reason he couldn't help but stay and stare.

She was seated on a chair with a table in front of her. Dressed in a rather fancy gown with her hair braided to the back, she had a plate of beef in front of her.

He scoffed at the sight. If she was that hungry, she could have eaten inside or inside her room most preferably.

He walked closer to her and noticed she was not actually eating. Arching an eyebrow, he walked even closer trying not to make a sound as he walked.

With a fork in her right hand and a knife in her left hand, she struggled to cut the beef. He looked at the plate and saw some irregularly cut beef laying on it.

He paused to watch her. She was trying to use the cutlery properly and was failing terribly at that.

He rolled his eyes and mentally sighed. Was that was he was about to get used to? Was that the type of person he was about to get used to working with every day?

Shaking his head, he turned to leave but stopped as he heard a cutlery drop to the ground. He turned and watch her bend to pick up the knife, still unaware of his presence.

Was she that lost or was she just purposely ignoring him? Wondering, he stood to watch her for longer.

She continued fighting with the cutleries in her hand, this time grunting every time she lost. Strands of her hair were slowly freeing themselves from the grip of her braids, falling in her face every time she moved. The beef on the plate now had several stab marks as she hit it with the fork even harder with every new attempt.

She was really clueless.

"What are you doing?"

He watched her jump at his voice. She got up, slightly bowed at his presence and dropped the cutlery.

"Young master," even her voice was unstable as she greeted. She could barely maintain eye contact as her eyes wandered around the garden. She seemed to be scared of him and he could only think back to him yelling at her less than twenty-four hours ago and feeling a tad bit guilty.

"What are you doing?" Alex repeated his question.

"Just," she pointed at the cutlery and then began fidgeting with her fingers.

"Eating? Are you hungry?"

"No, not at all," she replied in a hurry. "It's just that- Um, actually I-"

Alex could hear her breath quicken from the distance. She swallowed, pressing her lips together and still couldn't bring herself to say meaningful words.

"Do you not know how to use the cutlery?"

"I do," she replied, plopping into the seat. Nervously, she picked the knife with her right hand and shifted it to her left hand, the fork slipping into her right hand.

Alex shook his head.

"That's where you are getting it all wrong," she sat next to her without her permission. Watching her almost squirm, he yanked the fork and knife out of her hand and dragged the plate closer towards him. "Here. You place the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right."

"Oh," she muttered, looking at her hands. "I-"

"Then hold unto the part you want to cut with your fork and then cut with the knife in your left hand," he demonstrated, giving her quick glances as he did. "Then kindly guide the beef into your mouth with the fork."

"Oh," she muttered again, looking at the finely cut beef on the plate. "Oh."

"You're welcome," he got up, wiping his hands as he did. "Try it yourself then."

"Yeah," she sheepishly shifted to his previously occupied position on the chair. She grabbed the cutleries and tried.

"Fork on your left," Alex cautioned as she quickly switched the fork's position.

"Sorry," she said as she stabbed the beef. "I'm more comfortable using my right hand for a lot of things."

"I didn't ask you," his gaze was fixed on the beef. "Yes, like that. Cut."

"Oh my," she exclaimed and then heaved a sigh of relief. "Finally, it cut finely."

He watched her smile at the piece of beef on the plate. Her smile was short-lived though as it quickly disappeared as their eyes met.

She looked away, quickly fixing her gaze on the beef. He looked away too, mentally exhaling.

"Thanks for your help, young master," she finally spoke up. "I'm grateful."

"Don't mention it," he said with a cold voice and began walking away aware of her gaze on him as he walked.

"Elaine!"

Elaine raised her head up in anticipation of who called her name. It wasn't hard to guess who would call her with such enthusiasm.

"Lacy!" Her voice had equal enthusiasm as she waved her hand. "Hi!"

"Woah, what's that," Lacy said, holding her hand to stop it from waving. She looked at her hand and realized she was waving her new phone at her. "Aw, you got a phone?"

"Oh, yeah," she placed the phone in her lap as she sat next to her. "It's a new model. I barely know how to use it."

"Then ask!" She excitedly took the phone from her lap. "Who got it for you? The master or young master? Why am I still asking. Of course, it's the Master."

"Yeah you're right," Elaine replied her, watching goosebumps crawl on her skin at the memory of their earlier encounter.

It was barely thirty minutes after Young Master Alex had corrected her on her usage of cutleries. It was unexpected and strange of him to meddle in her business like that. From their previous encounters she could already tell he strongly disliked her so him having a somewhat normal encounter with her was so puzzling.

Still wrapped up in that confusion, Frank had called her to his chamber. That time, to inform her of her new job. She was glad to finally get something to do rather than staying at home uselessly but her happiness was only short-lived as Frank quickly added that she was going to be working under his son. Under Alex. Alexander Xavier!

Alongside his 'good news', he gave her a new phone and had her save his number. With a smile, she collected the phone and thanked him for giving her an opportunity to work.

"Ouu it's the newest model," Lacy stated the obvious, interrupting Elaine's thoughts. "Cool."

Elaine simply raised her eyebrows in reply.

"How are you though?" Her attention finally shifted from the new phone. "How's it over there? How are all those rich people treating you?"

Elaine paused to think knowing she couldn't give her a dishonest answer. Ever since she moved in into her fancy room with a closet filled with every fancier dresses, it all just felt weird. "Fine? I don't know, honestly. All these just feels weird."

"Right?" She pat her on the shoulder. "And how's the young master Alex? Did he confront you again ever since?"

"Confront? No," Elaine laughed at her friend’s choice of words. "Our paths have barely even crossed ever since."

She purposely skipped the part of him helping her earlier. It was still so surreal and she definitely didn't want to talk about it. Especially knowing how dramatic Lacy could be, she knew it wasn’t going to end well.

"That's a relief," she smiled. "I hope your paths don't ever cross. At least, until his anger calms down and he's finally able to wrap his head around it all."

"That's impossible," Elaine smiled in return. "Apparently, I'm going to be working as his personal assistant starting from tomorrow."

"What?!" Lacy’s voice was the loudest Elaine had ever heard. "What in the world? Oh my God."

"I know right," Elaine bit her lip. "It's real crazy."

"It's real cool," she went on. "I mean you're going from working as a maid at the Xavier Mansion to working as the personal assistant for the heir to the Xavier Group. I mean, it's insane. You're literally living the dream of every girl here. You'll be-"

"Oh, Elaine," she paused on noticing Elaine's expression.

"Yeah," Elaine nodded. "If I was just a maid, it'll have been cool. Not a maid he plans on getting married to. I'm literally going to be getting married in few months, Lacy. To a man that already has a wife and a son who hates me. A man that-"

"Shh," shushing her, she moved closer and hugged her. "Let's look at the brighter side of things, okay? Who knows, this might be just for the best so let's be positive, okay?"

"Alright," Elaine slowly hugged her back. "I will."

More than anything, she was scared. But as she looked at herself in the mirror before going to bed that night, she assured herself she was only going to look at the positive side of everything happening.

If there was any.

    “Good morning.” Replies were mumbled as Elaine made her way to one of the empty chairs on the dining table. It was few minutes past seven am and the whole Xavier family was already seated in the dining, having breakfast. It wasn’t something she considered extraordinary when she worked as a maid but now that she had to join them on the table to break their fast that early morning, it sure felt weird and abnormal. “Good morning, Elaine,” Frank finally replied Elaine in the loudest voice. He dropped his cutlery next to his plate, watching her as she made her way then sat in the farthest seat from him. “Come on, move closer. You don’t have to seat so far away, don’t you think?” It was Elaine’s turn to mumble as she stood up. She lightly raised her head, scanning the dining. Frank sat at the horizontal centre of the dining table with his nephew, Dominique seated right next to him having his breakfast in silence. By his side, his son and though Elaine preferred not to think of him as su

    After riding for a couple of minutes more, they finally arrived at the Xavier Group’s building. With his driver rushing forward to help him with the door, Alexander stepped out of the car, having Elaine mirror his actions behind him. After his not so comforting words, she had managed to stop shaking. She tensed her whole body up and Alexander couldn’t care less if that was the right thing to do- all that mattered to him was she wasn’t shaking and distracting him anymore in the process. They stepped into the main building, a gasp escaping Elaine’s lips immediately. She looked around her, struck with awe as she did. The building was huge, way more huge than the Xavier mansion. She could spot dozens of people walking around it, all dressed corporately and looking busy. She felt a tingle of excitement as she looked at them. Very soon there was a possibility that she was going to be one of them. Dressed in corporate clothes and busy with office work. Interrupting her thoughts, Alexand

    Embarrassed was an understatement for how she felt. Not only was her new gown drenched, her body suddenly felt sore from falling and she could bet she had scratched her skin with one of the pieces of the broken mugs. She could feel dozens of eyes on her, having her shut hers in embarrassment. She remained on the floor, unable to get up or even move at the slightest. "Oh my God," unable to stay still anymore, Rachael got up from her seat and rushed towards her, quickly trying to help her get up. "Oh my God, are you okay?" "I-I," she stuttered, left with no choice but to try to get home at Rachel's gesture. "I'm fine." "Mr. Xavier, what is going on? Who is this lady creating a scene." "I'm sorry for the interruption," Elaine could hear Alexander say. "Please go on without me. Excuse me for a minute." Elaine felt her stomach churn as she heard the sound of Alexander's feet hitting the ground get louder. She swallowed, finally raising her head up to confirm her guess. Indeed, Alexand

    Elaine stared at herself in the mirror for the dozenth time that morning then let out a sigh. After returning home unusually early from work the previous day, she had locked herself up in her room, not even bothering to step out for dinner, doing nothing but thinking and reflecting on the previous day’s occurrences. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get Alexander's not so nice words out of her head. How he reminded her of her place and how he had unintentionally given her a huge task to work towards completing. The task of trying to prove she wasn't just a maid. To prove she could do well as his personal assistant, regardless of her background or every other factor that made it seem like she couldn't. With another sigh, she tugged at her gown and stepped out of her room. Just like Alexander said, she was going to pretend yesterday didn't happen and have her new first day at work go smoothly. Luckily for her, it didn't seem like Frank was home, making it easy for h

    With an eyebrow raise, he turned to leave the major dressing room, heading to the familiar path to Dominique's office. It was a two way thing, either he was in his fashion studio, whipping up new designs or he was in his office, sitting with his legs crossed and doing lesser energy consuming activities. Hoping it was the latter, he headed straight to his office. That was going to be the only way he would be able to get him to talk to him with his attention fully on him. His little prayer got accepted as the moment he set foot into his cousin's office, he spotted him seated on one of the rather comfortable looking sofas, serving wine into a glass. "Alexander?" Dominique failed to hide his surprise on seeing his cousin. "What are you doing here? Aw, did you miss me?" "You wish," he scoffed, taking a seat next to him. "I'm here to get new clothes." "For yourself? So randomly?" He hesitated before replying, yanking the wine glass from his cousin as he did. "No. I'm getting Elaine new

    “Oh my, you look different!” Elaine smiled lightly at the compliment from Rachael as she walked into the office, Alexander leading the way with quicker steps. After a very quiet ride, they finally got to the office and just like he seemed to have promised himself, Alexander was completely ignoring her. It was something she had gotten used to though. For a second, she almost thought he had changed and was going to be less cold around her since he was nice enough to take her shopping but even before those thoughts could settle, he had managed to whip them out of her mind. She didn’t completely understand him though. What did she have to do with him not wanting to get married? His marriage was his business with his dad and before she could voice out her confusion, he walked away from her and plunged them into nothing but awkward silence ever since. “I was worried about you,” Rachael continued, sympathetically. “You know, after what happened. Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” “I

    “This way, ma’am.” Elaine bowed lightly at the guard in front of her as he helped her out of the car, towards the restaurant a couple of meters away. Apparently she was to be on a date. With Frank Xavier. Alexander’s father. She felt shivers run down her spine as she recollected the day’s events. After an averagely eventful day, she had hoped to just go home with Alexander and prepare for her next day of work only for her to be approached unexpectedly by a man that claimed to be Frank’s personal chauffeur. It was more of an order than a request as he informed her of Frank’s plan to have them have a dinner date that night. Before she speak up, he confirmed Alexander knowing about the plans and from the look in his eyes, she knew he was being serious. Thus she was left with no choice but to sheepishly nod and go with him, more than thankful Rachael wasn’t in sight. They drove straight to a clothing store and on the chauffeur’s orders, Elaine was stripped off her formal office

She had purposely skipped breakfast after barely having an appetite and was ready to just get to work. It was a long exhausting night and she couldn’t be more glad morning had dawned already. After concluding Frank’s unexpected shower of gifts, they had dinner and then had his chauffeur drive them back home, another driver taking her new car home. They returned to the mansion late at night and already full from the dinner and the restaurant, quickly bid Frank good night and retired for the day. “What are you doing here?” She was quickly pulled out of her trance by a familiar cold voice. Immediately clutching on to her bag, she turned to face Alexander standing few inches away from her, eyebrows arched with his driver right by his side. “Mr. Xavier,” she swallowed, immediately taking a step backwards.

    For reasons unknown to Elaine but known to Alexander, she had to return home with Frank’s driver personally driving her. It didn’t take long for her to know all of the reasons though as instead of driving her straight home, she was taken to a boutique where she was plopped into chair and dolled up to look pretty, her opinion being the least of things that mattered. She did look pretty. Dressed in a gold long gown that looked like what she should have worn to the company’s dinner a couple of days ago with her hair styled up nicely. Tiny jewels littered her neck and wrists and her green eyes were nicely enlightened. All it took was a short trip down memory lane for her to quickly remember what it was all about. What the whole fuss was about and why they were so bothered about her looking presentable and pretty. Alexander’s wife to be’s family was coming over. She chuckled lightly as she mentally compared her old life to the one she now had. Only a couple of months ago, if such an

    Elaine never had much experience consoling people. Growing up alone, if there was anyone that constantly needed consoling it was her and barely having anyone to do it for her, she took up that task herself but that was it. She never had to actually console anyone else making her totally clueless on how to console people. Or at least, so she thought. Cause apparently, all she needed to do was stare at Alexander for a couple of seconds to know what she needed to do. It was like it came so naturally. Like it was the right thing to do. The only expected thing for her to do. He froze in her embrace for what seemed like a couple of seconds before she finally felt him softening. He didn’t hug her back though, simply remaining in her arms while she wrapped them around him tighter, offering him comfort and companionship in ways he had no idea he needed. They remained in that position for a while and not even for a second, did any of them realize how weird and unusual what was going on was.

    Still holding on to the tray of coffee, Elaine suddenly became conflicted. She had been too busy eavesdropping to remember to drop the coffee in and now that she was gone, what exactly was she supposed to do?Walk in and pretend to not have noticed Mya’s departure or return to the office and risk Rachael wondering why she didn’t give them their coffee ages ago.The latter seemed like the least feasible one of her choices especially since she couldn’t deny, was curious about what Alexander was still doing in the meeting room. He should have stepped out few seconds after his mother took her leave but instead, he was still indoors, locked.Summoning the courage, she tightened her grip around the tray and returned to the meeting room, immediately placing a knock on the door. One Alexander surprisingly replied to immediately.“Come in.”“Mr. Xavier,” her voice was soft as she stepped in. “I brought you coffee.”He was standing by the farthest end of the office, hands tucked in his pocket,

    Having guests at work wasn’t something that happened rarely but definitely having guests that were members of the Xavier family was.Work started on a good note with Alexander remaining in his office almost the whole time while Elaine and Rachael worked from their own side. It was all going rather smoothly until the doors burst open to reveal Mya Xavier strolling into the office, overflowing with glamour.“Ma-ma’am,” Elaine immediately rose to her feet as she spotted her, Rachael doing the same. “You’re here.”Clothed in the latest designer jumpsuit the stores had to offer that just seemed to make her warm skin glow, she walked in. Her brown hair was styled up and she looked as beautiful as ever. Her eyes, a dark shade of brown and her lips painted a subtle shade of red highlighted her well defined features. She was getting older but Elaine could swear she looked younger every single time she laid his eyes on her and for someone she saw regularly, it was a lot.“Mrs. Xavier,” Rachael s

Instead, he kept on staring at himself wondering if he was really going to have to be dressed in a similar suit in a couple of weeks from now but instead of going to work, would be walking down an isle in it.Marriage.He could feel a headache come up at just the thought of it.

    Elaine’s stomach let out a rumble and she was immediately reminded of Alexander’s words. It was annoying this time though as she was also reminded of how rude and grumpy he was just a couple of hours ago. What had she done that was so wrong? All she did was ask if he was headed somewhere and then try to show her care by telling him he didn’t need to worry about driving her home first. But in response, what had she gotten? Nothing but the usual cold and grumpy Alexander. She knew she wasn’t supposed to be surprised or disappointed but she was. She had slowly gotten used to him being oddly nice to her and now, his default cold self had become one she was taking offense to. Her stomach grumbled again and she immediately let out a groan. She didn’t want to eat just yet but knowing every second she tried to starve herself was simply going to result in her thinking about Alexander, she quickly rose to her feet and stepped out of her room.

    After a long exhausting weekend that felt like it was going to last forever, it was finally Monday.Both Elaine and Alexander's day started on a awkward note as they were forced to sit at the table for breakfast. A very awkward breakfast with everyone including Mya barely having an appetite.After taking a number of forced bites, Alexander could no longer stand it and got on his feet, having Elaine scurry behind him to get to ride with it to work. Not of course without glances of disapproval from Mya. "Mr Xavier," Elaine spoke up the second they got into his car. "About your jacket from the other day-" "I asked you not to worry," he quickly cut her off to say. "I'll come fetch it when I'm ready." She nodded then pressed her lips together, proceeding to remain silent throughout the rest of the ride. The decision to remain silent was apparently mutual as neither of them uttered a single word to each other throughout the ride until they finally got to the office. Immediately stepping

    “Oh, it is you.”Mya looked at Elaine from head to toe, staring at every single visible inch of her body in curiosity about what the girl that managed to catch the eyes of her husband looked like.She was quite the beauty, even Mya couldn’t deny, making her quickly come to the conclusion her husband, like any other man, had fallen for her looks.She clicked her tongue as she watched her take a nervous step backwards, away from her. Compared to what she had expected, the Elaine girl seemed timid. A bit too timid to be Frank’s wife and her new rival.She was expecting a bold looking girl. One who was gorgeous, knew it and sure knew how to use it as her strength. Not one who looked like she would shrink at even the slightest yell from her.“M-Madam Mya,” Elaine stuttered as she stared at Mya. “You are back, ma’am.”Mya could almost tell what she was thinking and in response rolled her eyes. What was she expecting? To show her gold digging ways and just get away with it easily because she

    EIGHTEEN:It was to be a regular morning with Frank and Mya breaking their fast sitting miles apart from each other but it was not. Rather than her mentally marvelling on the tenderness of the beef on her plate, something else was on Mya’s mind.And it had been on her mind for weeks now, ever since she heard the news of her husband taking a new wife while she was on her trip.After taking longer than usual, she finally swallowed the freshly chewed beef in her mouth and immediately turned to face Frank. She had returned home after months of being away the previous night and all her husband had to say to her was, “Oh, you’re back.”It was no surprise to her though. Her reply to him was also mumbled. But now that they were at the table after spending their nights in different rooms, she had a bit more to say to him.“So, I heard you would be getting married soon.”“Don’t give me that, Mya,” he replied. “You heard about it because I wanted the message to be passed across to you. don’t mak
