Juliet continued to pat his back softly and soothingly till he finally calmed down, and his breath slowly started to return back to normal... Alex felt the pain in his chest slowly start to dissipate... and he dropped the paper bag and took one last deep breath... "Are you alright?" She said in a soft voice, her eyes filled with concern... Alex nodded and felt like almost all the energy in his body had drained out... "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" She asked him again, and he nodded. She nodded also and decided not to ask him that it was all about... he didn't look like he was in the best position to start explaining it to her... "I will be right back," She said to him and stood up... Alex watched her as she walked towards her kitchen... He had only ended up making her worry... he still felt the pain in his chest even though it had reduced.... he wasn't in the best state to drive himself home, so he decided to call Patrick to come pick him up, but He realised he w
Alex was downstairs in twenty minutes and not twenty-five like he had said... "Good morning, sir," Felix greeted him, and Alex nodded... "Will you be having breakfast at home?" the butler asked, and Alex shook his head, even though he was completely famished... "Where is Patrick?" He asked when he didn't see Patrick around... "He is having his breakfast," Felix replied, and Alex sighed deeply... "Tell him to meet me at work then," He said and walked out of the house and towards the garage... The expression on Felix face changed, and he watched as Alex walked off... He looked really worried and sighed deeply... "You should be okay by now. It's been so long already," the butler muttered... He walked back into the dining room and saw Patrick munching on his breakfast... "Mr Graham said I should inform you to meet him at work." The butler and Patrick eyes immediately grew wide. "What!" He exclaimed and immediately got up... He made sure he finished his orange juice before he rushed
"Please leave. I need to work," He said, cold, and Michelle scoffed. Maybe if she had other kids, she wouldn't be so hurt by how she was treated by him... he was her only child and problem... "I heard your uncle is back. Did he say anything bad about me again!" Michelle continued and didn't look like she was going to leave... Alex had a lot on his mind, and he couldn't listen to her, making his thrombin head worse... He stood up and walked right past her, and Michelle was appalled by this behaviour... "Where do you think you are going, I thought you had work to do! are you going to see that girl again!" She said, but Alex ignored her and walked out of his office... Michelle sighed deeply and walked to the couch... she took a seat and tried to steady her breath... she shouldn't have left him all by himself in that house... She regretted doing that every day... After what he had witnessed that day, she had thought it would only make him stronger and overcome his fear... She didn't g
Juliet was returning home from work and had her umbrella with her... she had seen the weather forecast and saw that there was about seventy percent chance that it would rain, so she picked her mom's favourite umbrella and she immediately opened it when she saw that the rain was about to start... She started to walk towards her house and took the route where the park was... Her new favourite spot, and then she spotted someone... when she got closer... He was sitting under the rain and not moving... She immediately recognised him "Alex" She said and hurriedly walked to where he was so she could cover him with her umbrella... Why was he sitting under the rain and now getting up... Alex slowly raised his head when he didn't feel the rain anymore, and he sighted an umbrella... "Why are you sitting under rain... are you trying to catch a cold? " He heard a familiar, soothing voice and saw her face... She was here... A slight smile immediately appeared on his face, and juliet let out a
"Please don't go," Juliet voice echoed in Alex's ear, and he froze in his tracks... His heart palpitating in his chest... He drew in a sharp breath and slowly turned to look at her. dammit! He cursed under his breath and couldn't hold himself any longer... He didn't care about anything else at that moment, and all he could see and think about was juliet... The woman that was making him go crazy... Juliet held her breath as He walked up to her and captured her lips... and immediately, their lips touched a spark like no other erupted between the both of them, and Juliet felt like she was floating... Her hands slowly travelled from his arm to his shoulder, and she stood in her toes so she could meet him and snake her and around his neck... She kissed his back and felt her body instantly heat up... A flame had been ignited in the both of them, and it wasn't going to quench anytime soon... Alex broke the kiss, and they both their breath were uneven... They were so close to each other an
Alex walked away from her house with a bright smile on his face... he couldn't hold back his smile as he walked down her block... the happiness he felt was surreal... she had Been in his arms... He had felt her warmth, her scent... he wanted to hold her in his arms forever... His heart raced as he arrived at the busstop... and he hailed down a taxi... He phone started to ring in his pocket as he got into the taxi... They were looking for him at work already... The smile on his face dimmed a bit and he sighed deeply... He wished he could spend the whole day with her without any disturbance... The weekend was just two days away... He would make sure to take her on a date and while on the date he was going to switch off his phone so no one would disturb their peace... He was already thinking about places he could take her to... But he would ask her where she wanted to go to too... all he wanted was to spend time with her... "Thank you" He said to the taxi drive when he stopped at his o
Juliet woke up with a bright smile the next morning...She face palmed herself and started to giggle when the details of what happened the previous day kept replaying in her mind... It felt surreal, but it was real and now, they were close... her phone vibrated by her beside and she immediately picked it up expecting a message from Alex, but it was from Sonia her boss... The smile on her face immediately dimmed and she got up... She had to get ready for work... She looked for his number and was about to call it but juliet gave her head a little shake... she took a deep breath and dropped her phone on her bed, but it chimed again, and she immediately rushed to pick it up... she sighed deeply when she saw it was Sonia again reminding her that a had a meeting and she had to be at work early... She quickly got ready for work and left her house... She almost missed the bus but thankfully didn't... She was out of breath when she arrived at the office and Sonia was at her table waiting for
"When is Mr Wilson arriving?" Patrick asked over the phone during his lunch break... He picked up his sandwich and sighed deeply when he ended the call... Mr. wilson had cancelled his trip... Was someone else really trying to steal their supplier... Who the hell could it be, Alex didn't have any enemies, and at the same time, he didn't have supporters... He just mostly kept to himself, and that seemed to be the cause of his problem... He had gone to find out yesterday if Mr Wilson would be arriving today, but now he had cancelled... He quickly finished his lunch and made sure to get takeout of Olivia, who had been following Alex around since he came back from God knows where, after his mother left yesterday... Alex mood has been really good since then, and Olivia even told him about what happened at the meeting... He decided to take a walk back to the office, and just as he was about to cross the road to the other side, a car stopped right in front of him, blocking his way... The
