Just after the bump accident, Xander suddenly feels a huge impact on his body. He is thrown off his feet. Too scared to open his door and see what had just happened. All he could hear was the sound of a motorcycle revving up and then fading away."My love, are you okay?" Susan's voice calls out to him. Xander slowly opens his eyes to see her sitting beside him. A kind face and a calming presence that helps him relax a little."I don't know," he replies shakily, still in shock at the accident. "What happened?" He asks her, wanting to know if the shock got him anywhere."A man on a motorcycle ran into you." Susan helps him raise his head up. "Are you feeling hurt anywhere?" Still worried for him.Xander checks himself over and realizes no hurt at all. Just the shock and fear. "Thanks Susan." "Should we call an ambulance?" Susan asks."Yes, please," he says, feeling a wave of panic wash over him. "I don't know what to do.""Don't worry, I'll take care of it," Susan pulls out her phone a
"Hello?" Xander answers, trying to catch his breath from the past minutes of chaos."Mr. Xander, it's Ava. I'm sorry to bother you, but there are some men here. They say they're prosecutors and they want to speak to the CEO of the company. According to the lead prosecutor, they say we're involved in some kind of fraud," Ava explains, her voice shaking and nervous.Xander's heart sink. He has heard of companies being investigated for fraud before, but he never thought it would ever happen to his own company. "Why all this today?" He soliloquizes to Susan's hearing. "I'll be there as soon as I can," Xander promises Ava, before hanging up the phone.Whilst he drives even faster to the office, desperate to see what was happening and to fix the situation. As soon as they arrive at the company, while heading to their office, they see a group of men in suits standing outside, looking stern and official. Xander and Susan approaches them, trying to appear calm and collected."Mr. Xander right?
Ava barges into Xander's office in a hurry without knocking. As soon as she enters the office, she bumps into Xander sitting down with his arms wrapped around Susan, intimately. "Sorry, sir. I didn't know you were busy." Ava's eyes blink in reflex action, feeling embarrassed and angry, as this is against the office rules. Shocked as hell. She turns sideways back to the door, trying to hide her anger."It's alright, Ava," Xander says, looking at Susan. "We were just discussing something." Susan smiles at Ava, adjusting her body from Xander's warm wrap. "But It's okay, Ava. You can talk to him now."Feeling a bit relieved, the sight of Xander and Susan together made her uncomfortable. "Mr. Xander, I need your approval for the new project proposal. We have a deadline to meet, and I need your signature as soon as possible." Ava hands over the proposal to Xander with a rumpled face, one that she can't hide or pretend to be okay with what she saw. "Sorry sir, can I also have the financial
As Ava leaves the office, Xander breathes with a sigh of relief and stands up from his chair. "Susan, lock the door behind you." He walks over to the safe where he keeps the important documents of the company. He places the financial records there for safety. As he returns to his chair, he notices Susan's face is not as bright as supposed. "Is everything okay?" Xander asks in curiosity.Susan hesitates for a moment. "I think Ava might think about what she saw earlier," she says, referring to when they were kissing.Xander's heart drops at the thought. He knows Ava is an intelligent and perceptive lady, and worried about what she might think of his and Susan's relationship. He takes another deep breath and for a while, thinking her obsession with him is already dead.He moves closer to Susan. "Well, I think Ava is matured enough to understand that sometimes people make mistakes," he says. "I will talk to her and explain everything to her, and I'm sure she will be understanding." He say
"Was she born this beautiful?" Susan teases Xander. He rubs off the face of his suite and clears his throat in pride, accompanied with an adage. "A lion doesn't give birth to an elephant." "Ooh... I see what you're doing.""Yeah... You're right. It runs in the blood. Girl." He rubs his beards in self admiration. "Or are you, by chance, saying I don't look handsome?""Not at all, you silly head." "Off course you saw that in me too." John's face lights up as he sees them approaching. "Hey! Over here, guys." He waves at Xander as he stands up, and the four of them exchange hugs and greetings to themselves. The atmosphere is lively, with the sound of laughter and chatter filling the air."Hey, Xander! Hey Susan! You guys look amazing," John exclaims as he gives them both a hug.Ketty chimes in, "Yes, you both look fantastic. I love your dress, Susan.""Same here too. Though you always look absolutely amazing all the time." Susan throws invisible kisses to ketty, leaving her with blushe
Susan hurriedly approaches John, Ketty and Xander, who were just about to enter their cars for the night, as if there was an issue."Susan, what's the matter?" John asks, noticing the urgency in her tone."We need to have a press conference," Susan replies, catching her breath. "We need to let our customers and clients know everything is under control, and that we're investigating the cause of the recent attack on our company.""Hmm" he place his hand on his jaw and thinks through her idea in a flash, Ketty nods in agreement. "Yes, that's a good idea. We need to reassure them we're taking this seriously."Xander still trying to process what Susan just said, looks skeptical. "But why a press conference? Can't we just send out a statement?"Susan shakes her head, goes closer to him. "We need to be transparent. We need to show our customers and clients that we're not hiding anything. Plus, a press conference will allow us to answer questions they may have, than letting them create any as
"Whuurr... It's already morning. Another day to chase the bag." Xander yawns and stretches as he struggles to move out of the bedsheets. It's Friday morning, and he feels so pumped. He knows that this is the last day of work before the weekend, and he can already feel the excitement building up inside him. As he gets ready for work, he puts on his best suit and tie, ready for the press conference that he has planned for the day. As he heads out the door for work as usual, he drops off at Susan's place to pick her up, after which they head for the office. "Cutie!" she greets him with a wide smile. "You're looking all set already for the press conference today... Hmm, I like."Xander nods, his heart pounding with anticipation. "Yes, I am. And I have you to thank for that. You came up with the idea, and it's going to be a great success." He says. "Ooh, stop it." Susan blushes red at her chick at his compliment. "You're the one who's going to make it happen. Just as you always do. Rememb

We're excited and expecting to hear what he has to say.""Yes. This is a big announcement for the company. I wonder what it could be about." The second reporter adds.The first reporter chimes in again. "I heard rumors they're releasing a new product. I can't wait to find out if it's true.""I just hope this isn't a waste of time. I have other stories to cover today."Mr Martin smiles at them all as they gossip about themselves. "Trust me, this will be worth your time. Mr Xander has some important news to share." As the reporters make their way into the big hall, they notice the elaborate decorations and the large stage set up in the center.One reporter chuckles. "Wow... They really went all out for this press conference.""Look at all these cameras!" Another gestured in surprise. "This is going
