2024-05-13 21:53:13“Is that Alex Tate?”
“Yes, that’s him. He is the CEO of the Tate Industries”
“Damn! He’s so fucking hot!”
“All I want to do is spend the rest of my life with him!”
The ladies present at the bar whispered among themselves together with their body languages longing for him
Amelia’s eyes widened in shock, she turned and asked the lady who stood next to her, “Please, who is that man?”
“You mean you don’t know him?”
“That’s one of the hottest man in the city!” Flora chuckled
“His name is Alex Tate, the CEO of the Tate Industries. He also owns 55% of this bar’s shares” Flora said. “So, he is more like our boss too” she laughed while hitting Amelia’s shoulders slightly in a jokingly manner.
Flora asked, “You seem uncomfortable with that news, is everything okay?”
Flora was instructed by the manager to show Amelia around, just so she can get acquainted with the working environment and prepare to take orders. She seemed a bit comfortable being around Amelia.
“No, there is nothing wrong. I am fine” Amelia said, unconvincingly.
Flora, with an eyebrow raised, she said, “Now tell me how I am supposed to believe that?” Anyway, it’s fine. The manager may be needing either of us anytime soon to place an order for Mr. Alex so be prepared in case it is you who does that.
“Oh my God! Did I just… that means I slept with my boss?” Amelia’s mind raced with shock as she thought
Following their conversation, the manager raised his hand a little above his head, in an attempt to signal Flora as her presence was needed at the moment. He grabbed a spot at the most beautiful corner of the bar for himself and Alex to sit and discuss.
“Sir, you called for me” Flora said
“Yes, I did”
“I received a call from Mr. Pius, one of our biggest clients. He needs a large number of red wines for his birthday celebration. Can you check the store and let me know what we have? Please give me a feedback on this.” The manager instructed.
“Oh! One more thing. Tell Amelia to arrange one of our best drinks for Mr. Alex Tate” he further stated
“Oh no don’t worry about it, I’m fine.” Alex interrupted
“Are you sure about that? You know we both own this bar.” the manager chuckled while giving a soft tap on Alex’s back, and they both laughed together.
Following that response, Flora walked past them, proceeding directly to the task that was assigned to her.
“Thank you for the drink offer, but I think I’m more interested in who the lady over there is” Alex said while pointing towards her. His gaze lingered, a sense of intrigue compelling him to learn more as he anticipated the manager’s response.
He never had the chance to delve into or discover more about Amelia beyond the night they both shared together.
“Oh! Amelia?”
“That’s my latest employee. She’s working for me based on a contract anyway” he said, emotionless
“What contract?” Alex asked, stirring of interest that beckoned him to explore further.
“Hmmm…”
The manager let out a deep sigh, pondering how to commence narrating Amelia’s tale to Alex.
“So, Amelia is—“
“Please, hold on a second. I need to take this call” Alex interrupted
While he was on the call, a group of influential figures made their entrance into the bar, their aura of influence immediately drawing eyes and commanding respect.
Amelia recognized them. Apparently, they were her friends before her predicament stroke. She hesitated to approach them, a mix of anxiety and fear wash over her as she imagined the possibility of being mocked.
Every other worker on duty during that shift had tasks to perform, but she was the only one who didn’t have any other orders to carry out at that moment.
“What’s the worst that can happen?” Amelia thought to herself
She made her way towards them, her steps slow and cautions, and her heart pounding. A daunting feeling of intimidation overshadowed her, knowing she was about to face their potential mockery.
“Hi, good day” Amelia said, forcing a smile. “Are you ready to take an order, or would you like to take some time to review the menu?”
“Amelia Walmart!?”
“No way!”
“You have got to be kidding me”
“Amelia, a waitress now?”
They said among themselves, laughing so hard
“Okay, since you all don’t have anything to say, I will be taking my leave now” Amelia said emotionless, ignoring all that they said
“Not so fast baby, we are ready now. Give us the best of your wines and make it quick!” Natalie’s laughter prompted the others to join in.
Amelia left their midst in irritation. She expected such reaction and so, it didn’t really bother her. She hurriedly proceeded in taking the orders and had it delivered to them.
“Oh no, we changed our minds. Kindly get us another kind of drink” one of them said, being overly loud.
“So, who is going to pay for these drinks?” Amelia asked
“Oh! We will. We aren’t broke like you” another responded in laughter
“We aren’t responsible for your father committing suicide, leaving you bankrupt” Natalie snared
“How dare you say that?!” Amelia yelled in anger, her voice, above her normal voice tone which captivated the attention of every other occupant at the bar
“Why are you yelling? Everyone knows about it” Natalie responded, letting out a sarcastic laughter
Following the occurrence of what was happening, the manager and Alex made their way to the scene
“What’s going on here?” the manager, Mr. Sebastian asked
“Sir, we are good. We were just having a conversation” one of them said
Alex glanced in Amelia’s direction and moved closer to her. Releasing a short smile, he reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“Are you okay?” he asked
Amelia couldn’t bear to look at him, a feeling of shyness waved over her. She hesitated for a moment before uttering a response
“I am fine” she replied
“Can I see you for a second, please?” Alex pleaded, with his voice soft, slightly above a whisper
“Okay” Amelia responded
“Mr. Sebastian, I will like to have a word with Amelia, and thereafter, I will take my leave. We will continue our discussion when we can and please, ensure this situation is properly managed” Alex said, looking in disgust at the sight of them.
“Okay, I will. Although they said they were fine, and there is no cause for an alarm” the manager responded
“Alright then.” Alex responded
Alex stretched out his hand, indicating to Amelia where he wanted them to go for their conversation. As she walked in front of him, a wave of emotions stirred within him, the memories of their past night resurfaced, causing him to blush. Upon their arrival, they began to converse.
Amelia had told him everything about her he needed to know, leaving him with a feeling of concern and an attempt in restoring to Amelia all that was apprehended by the bank, and most importantly, discovering who the person behind the scandal was.
As they parted ways, Alex got into his car. The information he had just received from Amelia left him unsettled. In an attempt to address the situation, he reached for his phone to make a call.
“Good day Mr. Lawrence. Please, I will need you to do something for me” Alex said.

“Greetings to you Mr. Tate, to what do I owe this pleasure?” Mr. Lawrence responded“Please, I need you to look into a profile for me, her name is Amelia Walmart and I want to know everything about her.” Alex said, with an assurance of hope.“Okay sir, I will” Mr. Lawrence responded“I trust you to carry out this findings perfectly.” Alex responded and thereafter, hanging up the call.After the call, Alex had to drive quickly. He had scheduled a meeting with his board members to prepare for a project at hand. This was one of the biggest opportunities he had to expand Tate Industries to a greater level of growth.Upon arrival, he hurriedly walked towards his secretary and asked “Is everybody ready?”“Yes sir, they are.” Lucy, the secretary responded.

Her mind swirled like a tempest, mixed in a dilemma. She longed for clarity, for some glimpse of understanding in the midst of the confusion that enveloped her“I am Cora, Alex’s Fiancée, so it’s best you stay away from my man. We are engaged to be married soon.” She warned, her voice filled with pride, as she elegantly displayed a magnificent diamond ring on her finger.“Why are you telling me this?” Amelia asked, her tone portraying a hint of suspicion. She snorted softly, crossing her arms and placing her hands on top of each other, her posture exuding confidence, meeting Cora’s gaze with a bold stare“I have absolutely nothing to do with Alex. So, you can be rest assured you have nothing to worry about.” Amelia asserted, a touch of defiance in her voice. “What could he possibly gain from associating with someone like me?” her voice softened, with a touch of sadness in her eyes as she let her hands fall to her sides.“Yeah, you are right’” Cora replied, her tone filled with mockery

“Hello, Mr. Lawrence. Thank you for reaching back to me.” Alex said, in anticipation of hearing good news. A warmth spread through his chest, letting out a smile that ran through the corners of his lips.“Good day Mr. Tate”, the lawyer responded, “I have been able to gather some vital information for you about Amelia Walmart, but first, I will need to speak with her and ask a few questions for confirmation.“Okay Mr. Lawrence. That wouldn’t be a problem” Alex said. “Kindly choose a day favorable for you and I will make that happen”, he added“Okay sir, I will let you know. Bye for now.” Mr. Lawrence responded and thereafter, interrupted the call.“Is everything okay?” the manager asked“Yes sure, everything is fine,” Alex responded.

Following the call, Alex turned to the stranger and said, “I never want to see you again or anywhere close to Amelia.”“Sure, you won’t.” the stranger responded“As for Cora, do you know where I can find her?” Alex asked“I’m afraid I can’t disclose that to you” the stranger answered“Okay then, you can see yourself out of the hospital.” Alex saidIn a fit of anger, Alex strode towards the door, each step deliberate and filled with anger. Reaching the door, he hesitated for a moment, his hand hovering over the handle as he struggled to contain his rage. But then, with a sudden burst of fury, he swung the door open with such force that it banged loudly against the wall.After storming out of the room, Alex made his way to the reception floor, where Flora awaited him. Without a word, they walked out of the hospital together.After dropping Flora off, Alex headed straight to his office, where his stepfather had been waiting for him. 5PMAs Alex arrived at his office, he pushed the door

Alex noticed the change in Amelia’s expression. Her eyes once bright with laughter, now seemed distant with a shadow of concern and a state of dilemma. “Is everything okay?” Alex asked, reaching across the table to gently touch her hand.“Yes, I am fine. I thought I saw someone I knew,” Amelia responded ”Oh! Okay, that’s fine.” Alex said with a soft smile as he continued to admire Amelia.With soft music playing in the background, Amelia listened carefully as Alex discussed the pressing concerns they had gathered to address. His passion and dedication towards her affairs were evident in every word he spoke, and Amelia found herself admiring his gesture. She further consented to seeing the person Alex requested for her to meet.As they conversed, minutes turned into hours, but neither of them noticed as they were engrossed in their discussion. Despite the seriousness of their conversation, they shared moments of laughter which made their time together worthwhile.As the evening drew t

The news of Mr. Sebastian’s sudden decision to sell off the bar sent ripples of curiosity and concern through the organization. As they gathered in small groups, discussing the possible reasons behind the manager’s departure, one question remained unanswered: who would be the new owner? The workers went about their daily tasks for the day, but their minds were preoccupied as they were concerned about whether the new owner would be kind and whether they would run the bar effectively. A few other workers worried about the possibility of layoffs or drastic changes to their work environment.As they left the meeting spot, the workers exchanged worried glances. They knew that change was inevitable, but the unknown was always unsettling. All they could do was wait and hope that the new owner would be someone who would lead the organization with compassion and integrity.The morning gave way to the evening, leading to the close of the day at the bar.

As Lucy arrived at the office, she could sense an air of disapproval from her colleagues, making her feel increasingly uncomfortable. Some of them muttered under their breath, while others exchanged whispers that seemed to be directed at her. Their expressions seemed to convey a mix of disappointment and annoyance, as if they were silently judging her for being late.Lucy ignored the tension around her and headed straight to her desk. She focused on clearing her desk, hoping to convey a message of her readiness to begin work. As she began to arrange her desk, arranging papers and setting things in order, her pen slipped from her hand, falling to the ground.As she bent down to retrieve it, she heard a sharp noise. It was Mr. Dan who snapped some papers on her desk, a clear sign of his irritation towards her lateness.Mr. Dan is the Chief Operating Officer of Tate Industries who is the second-in-command after Mr. Alex, and is responsible for overseeing the company’s day-to-day operatio

"Amelia is doing great. She's stable, and the doctors are making sure everything goes smoothly. We won't know much more for a while, but she's handling it well thus far,” the nurse said.With a sigh of relief, Flora's shoulders eased. "We really appreciate you informing us of this."The nurse nodded. “I’ll keep you updated on her progress. Feel free to wait here, and I’ll come to get you once there’s more news.”Alex and Flora resumed their seats, their minds slightly eased but still filled with anticipation. They chatted quietly, trying to distract themselves from the nervous energy that lingered.Hours seemed to pass quickly as they continued to wait.

Three days after, as the sun dipped toward the horizon, casting a golden hue over the city, Alex sent a message to Amelia: he had a surprise for her. The excitement in his text was palpable, and Amelia’s curiosity piqued as she went about her work for the day.During the end of work, Alex waited for her to tidy up her things, and when she was done, she strode to where his car was parked.Alex smiled warmly to welcome her when he sighted her walking towards him. As she arrived at the car, he stepped outside and gave her a warm hug and thereafter, he asked, "Do you trust me?" his mischievous and genuine eyes sparkling."Of course I do," Amelia answered, her smile expressing her confidence in him. “Good,” Alex said, pulling out a soft blindfold. “I’m going to need you to wear this for a bit while I drive you to our destination.”Amelia chuckled and agreed, her excitement evident. “Sure, go ahead. I’m ready for this surprise!”With the blindfold gently placed over her eyes, Alex took her

Upon arrival, Alex’s access proved invaluable. He guided the team through security and into the estate. The officers, led by Agent Smith and Detective Benson, approached Elsa Reeves’ mansion with determination.As they made their way inside, the securities and bodyguards reacted with alarm as they saw Alex bringing in officers into the mansion.They moved to confront the intruders, but Alex quickly intervened, instructing them to back off. The commotion caused by the confrontation created a distraction, allowing Elsa to make her way to the living room.As Elsa arrived, her expression one of surprise, she asked, “What is going on here?”Detective Benson stepped forward, holding up the warrant. “Elsa Reeves, you are under arrest for your involvement in the false allegations and the fake business proposal deal with Walmart Industries. Please come with us for questioning.”The officers moved in, and Elsa Reeves, though initially resistant, had no choice but to comply. As she was led away,

Finally, the day of the meeting had arrived, and everyone on the team—including Amelia and Alex—knew how important it was. They carried on with their day, constantly reminding themselves of the meeting's time and place.Mr. Nick stayed back at the hotel to get ready for the 6 PM meeting because he didn't have any work obligations that day.The anticipation increased as the morning became into midday. In the midst of this tension, Mr. Nick was called by Detective Benson, who already had his number."Hello, Mr. Nick," Detective Benson greeted, his voice carrying a hint of urgency. "I hope I'm not disturbing you. I need to know if you still have the evidence from the investigation on Elsa Reeves. It's critical for our case."Mr. Nick paused, his mind flashing back to the painstaking hours he had spent gathering that evidence.He knew how vital it was, not just for the case but for justice to prevail. "Yes, I still have everything," he replied, his voice steady. "I've kept it all safe, kn

Mr. Nick took a deep breath, the weight of the revelation heavy in the air. He looked at Amelia, his expression serious, ready to finally unveil the truth.“It was Elsa Reeves,” Mr. Nick revealedAlex's face twisted in frustration, his brows furrowing deeply as his grip tightened on the steering wheel. His neck veins widened as he gave a shout, "Damn it!" His voice echoed in the confined space of the car.His fury was so intense that he smacked his finger into the steering wheel, despite the searing pain.His nostrils flared and his breathing quickened as he attempted to regain control, but the anger that was already blazing fiercely inside of him seemed to get stronger, his thoughts a whirlwind of hatred and helplessness.Following his reaction, Detective Benson, who was seated close to Alex, gave him a calming tap on the shoulder to help him regain his composure.Mr. Nick continued, "One fateful day at the office, while I was having a casual chat with Mr. Walmart, his phone rang," h

“Amelia!”Mr. Nick screamed Amelia’s name, his expression a pure blank of disbelief. His eyes widened with shock, his usually composed demeanor shattered by the unexpected sight before him.With a tone that blended nostalgia and shock, Mr. Nick said, "I didn't think I'd ever see you again."His gaze remained on Amelia as though attempting to make sense of the situation, his eyes suddenly softer and slightly emotional."Why do I have a feeling that this was a set up?" he questioned, turning to face Alex with a raised eyebrow.With a knowing gleam in his eyes, Alex grinned. "It's true that I really wanted to show you the document, but primarily, I wanted you to meet with Amelia alongside."Mr. Nick's face softened, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He muttered no words, but the relief and curiosity in his eyes spoke volumes. His gaze shifted to Detective Benson, who was seated beside Amelia."Hello sir," Mr. Nick pleaded, his voice gentle yet urgent, "could you come over to th

Following their conversation, Alex turned and walked out of the bar, leaving Flora with a renewed sense of purpose and a heart full of gratitude.He got into his car and rode straight to the office, his mind racing on whether or not to expect any situation awaiting him. Upon his arrival, he was greeted by his employees which he responded to and he headed straight to his office.When Alex arrived at the floor of his office, he walked towards Maxwell's office. "Maxwell," he called out as he entered, "can you remind me of the time of my appointments today and how many people I'll be meeting with?"Maxwell looked up from his desk, consulting his schedule. "You have just two appointments today, sir. One at 2PM and the other at 4PM."Alex nodded thoughtfully. "I'll need you to move the 4PM appointment forward because I need to leave the office by 4PM to prepare for an event tonight.""Okay, sir, I'll do just that," Maxwell responded promptly.A few hours later, the 2PM appointment arrived a

As Alex arrived, Cora, who was sitting still, muttered, "I don't want to speak with you, Alex."Alex felt sad; he never wanted it to come this far, but her continuous threats to Amelia had made him do so.He asked a few questions about her well-being, but Cora ignored him and channeled her energy into emotional blackmail.Alex ignored her tactics and asked how she had managed to get that image of himself and Amelia.Cora laughed maliciously, and thereafter she answered, "The day our engagement was called off, because I still loved you, I felt the need to keep an eye on you."She paused, and then continued, "So, the next day, I used my spare keys to get into your apartment and installed a hidden camera in your bedroom. From time to time, I would check the footage to see if you were with someone else. That night, after witnessing you both together, I watched the video on my PC, where the camera was wirelessly connected, and took a picture of it."Alex was taken aback. He couldn't believ
