"Alex, please, let's just go." Juliet pleaded with him and held his arm before he could take any more steps towards the ladies... He let out a deep sigh and nodded, and juliet felt relief wash over her... They both walked out the restaurant in silence. He said nothing to her while she kept looking around in case anyone recognised him again... She could finally breathe again in relief when they were both inside his car... "I'm sure they were only wondering who I am." She said suddenly, hoping her words would help reduce the tension that had formed between the both of them in the car. "I'm sorry," Alex replied. He never wanted their lunch date to turn out like this. he just wanted them to spend a nice time together and now he ruined everything... "You don't have to be. some people don't just know how to mind their business, " Juliet replied. She knew it wasn't his fault... "We should go somewhere else. somewhere no one would disturb our peace, and I know just the place. " Juliet smiled
Alex was a bit curious about this, Mrs Flicher, now... What was her deal with Juliet, and why wouldn't she just mind her business. Thankfully, his warning to Claudia seemed to have worked. She didn't show up anymore... Maybe he needed to give this 'Mrs Flicher a warning too. "What offer did she make to you?" Alex asked again, and juliet looked hesitant to answer his question... "it isn't anything serious, don't worry about it..." Juliet trailed off because she almost blurted out her plans of moving away that she hadn't quite decided on yet... "Would you like a glass of water..." She said and quickly walked away towards her kitchen to avoid any more questions from Alex... Alex slowly walked after her and stood at the entrance of the kitchen, his eyes on Her as she poured him a glass of water... Juliet could feel his piercing gaze on her body, and she swallowed... and raised her eyes to look at him... Their eyes met, and she immediately looked away..... Her cheeks had started to H
The two of them stood there staring at each other, both their hearts racing... "I could show you," Alex breathed out, and juliet eyes never left his as Alex walked over to where she was standing and captured her lips, taking her breath away... She felt the tingles passing through her entire body, from her head to her toe, and she had to hold his arm for support as the kiss progressed... He started slowly, and she opened up to him and kissed him back... Alex broke the kiss so the both of them could catch their Breaths, but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted more and more... "Juliet," He said, her name out in a way that made her body Tremble in desire for him... "Yes," She whispered back, and he captured her lips once again... his tongue Exploring Her mouth and taking her brain to the clouds... Her hand slowly moved from his arms to his shoulders for more support, and Alex took it as she chance to lift her up, causing her to gasp into his mouth... Juliet broke the kiss and raised he
When Alex got home that night, he had a visitor waiting for him in his living room, looking completely anxious... "Sir!" Patrick said immediately he saw Alex walk into the living room... He was beyond anxious and had been waiting for almost an hour for Alex to get home... he needed to get everything he had spoken to Michelle out of his system... he had spent a while living every day in complete guilt, and it didn't help that he had to work closely with Alex every day... he kept like he had betrayed his boss and didn't want to leave any room for misunderstandings..."Patrick... you should have called me. how long have you been here? " Alex said when he saw his P.A. and secretary sitting in his living room looking anxious like something had happened... "Is something the matter. let's talk in my study, " He said, and Patrick nodded and followed Alex to his study... the whole time his heart was racing in guilty..."Now, you can start talking." Alex took a seat and looked at patrick, who
"That would be all for today, we should all grab lunch it's my treat," Sonia said after a meeting with her employees and everyone's face immediately lit up... "What should we have for lunch?" Lana asked, all smiles, and Johnny shook his head... "My aunt told me about a really great restaurant at uptown... she even gave me a guest invite. " Sonai responded, and everyone couldn't be happier they decided to meet again in ten minutes... Johnny's eyes travelled from lana to juliet as they all walked out of the meeting room, except for a brief greeting early that day. Both ladies weren't really on speaking terms... and he could tell that lana was purposely trying to avoid juliet, while juliet looked like she didn't want to avoid her... it just made the atmosphere weird, and he wasn't the only one who seemed to notice it... "Are you going to keep avoiding juliet?" He whispered to lana as they walked back, lana stopped in her tracks and tilted her head to glare at her coworker. "I'm
"Maybe lana was mistaken," Juliet muttered to herself as she walked away from the bus stop after getting down from the bus.... It was late already and dark outside, but she couldn't stop thinking about Gina... she knew she wasn't mistaken. It was definitely the woman she saw at the boutique. The question was, how was this woman related to Alex? was she perhaps like a friend of his or maybe just an acquaintance of Michelle, his mother... she sighed deeply and ran her hand through her hair... "Or maybe a ex girlfriend" she muttered under Her breath and felt a small pang of jealously in her heart, but juliet immediately stomped on it... if she was an ex girlfriend them she had no reason to be jealous they were no longer together... But his mother definitely liked her for son, if they still hanged out together... "Gina's place," She said in a low voice. The boutique had been exceptional... Someone who shopped at such a place would be definitely well off like Alex... Juliet was so engros
"I can't leave you all alone here juliet come with me," Alex said when he got back to where juliet was waiting for him... "Alex, we have talked about this already," Juliet said, trying to decline, but Alex didn't agree... He would have someone install an iron bar and a new security system the next morning, but her safety was the main priority to him at that moment... "Please don't be stubborn, I can't keep thinking about what would have happened if I was here tonight... someone can easily get into your house. please come with me, " Alex persuaded... Juliet felt fear creep into her... what if after he left, someone really tried to break into her house... "I can stay at a hotel or something," She said to him, not wanting to follow him to his house... and Alex immediately saw through her... he nodded and decided not to argue with her anymore... He instead knew where he would take her... Alex followed juliet inside her house and waited for her to take a few things before they left toge
Alex stopped in his tracks when he was in the living room of his Penthouse... he walked to the glass walls and stood there staring at the night sky... his eyes were filled with sadness and worry... the sadness juliet had seen a glint of and which he hid from everyone... his heart felt heavy, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen... it didn't help that he kept remembering the time when he was little... The time when he had seen her in that room, laying there in her own pool of blood... he closed his eyes and gave his head a little shake, trying to shake off and push to the back of the mind the imagine that had disturbed him for over twenty years... He slowly started to feel that raw pain in his chest... a pain that made it hard for him to breathe... Alex turned and started to walk towards the couch... he sat by the floor close to the couch and closed his eyes, trying his best to steady his breath like his psychiatrist had told him to do... stea
