"Alex," I whispered his name on my lips as I stared at him shocked.

I was wondering how it was that he was sitting in the CEO's seat. The only question running through my head was, did Vera know about this, but I quickly dismissed the thought knowing there was no one Vera would arrange this for me if she knew Alex was the CEO.

"Olivia, can I have the signed contract?" His voice cut through my thoughts snapping me out of my daze.

"What do you want from me?" I asked staring at him angrily.

"What do you mean by your question? You applied for a job and you got it," he replied with a frown.

He was right. I applied for this job. It suddenly crossed my mind. I could quit. I have received too many warnings about him to ignore.

"Fine. I don't want the job again," I said and turned to walk away.

"You can't quit, Oliva," I heard him say and I froze in my steps. "Do you remember the agreement contract you signed?" I heard him ask and I turned around to stare at him.

    Olivia's POVI lay on my bed in deep thought. I know nothing about this Alex guy aside from the warnings from Vera and the fact that my family dislikes him. This is my second encounter with him and I feel Vera is right about the person he is. I turned to face the other side of my bed still lost in thought. What would be my true reaction towards him if Vera had not said anything about him being a scumbag? How would I look at him if I didn't know I was once married to him? All these thoughts ran through my head and I was not sure how to feel about them all. Is he a scumbag or I feel that way because Vera said he was?My mind drifted off to the party scene. Of course, he didn't act like a gentleman at all but come to think of it, he was there for me, his wife. I thought and frowned. Ex-wife, I repeated and turned again on my bed. I recalled his face and features."He is a nice handsome guy. Everything about his appearance fits the image of the kind of mind I will want," I thought and m

    Olivia's POVI stood in front of the door for a while and left for the cafeteria. I didn't have an office yet as my onboarding was not done. I ordered a cup of tea and a sandwich. "How much?" I asked the lady at the counter. "You don't have a company card?" the lady asked and I shook my head in a no."No, you can only make a purchase here with the company card," the lady said to me and I blinked twice."I am new," I said."Kindly see the HR for that," the lady informed me and I just nodded.I walked to the HR office to get the card. I knocked gently and entered upon invitation. I greeted the lady in the seat and introduced myself."Your card will be ready tomorrow. In the meantime, Mr Wilson will attend to you," the HR manager said to me."Thanks," I said."Can I ask a question?" I said."Sure," replied the HR manager."Did you also sign an agreement contract in addition to the employee contract and what is the agreement contract about?" I asked trying to confirm what Alex had said t

    Olivia's POVI went with Mr Wilson to complete the onboarding process. All through the session, I was hungry and also thinking about some of the things Maria had said to me. It made me curious about what happened while I was with Alex."Ms Hudson, are you concentrating?" Mr Wilson's voice cuts through my thoughts."Yes," I replied."This is very important and you should know it," Mr Wilson said."Yes," I replied.We continued and I tried to give it my full attention but I realized I was too hungry to concentrate on what he was saying. Finally, my stomach gave me out making a growling sound. I immediately felt embarrassed and lowered my head."Have you eaten?" Mr Wilson asked."No please," I replied shyly placing my hand on my stomach which appeared to have gone quiet after growling so loud."My apologies," Mr Wilson said and quickly exited the office.He returned a few minutes later with some food whose aroma filled the air immediately even when it was still in a paper box."Let's cont

    Two servants came out of the apartment heading for the parked car. Dave removed my bag from the car truck and the servants quickly carried them inside after welcoming me. I stood in a daze scanning the beautiful compound. The compound was big and nicely decorated with flowers. It had a small porch with a swing. I walked past it and entered the apartment. The living room was very big and at the end was a dining area and the kitchen. The was a spiral staircase which descended into the living room. The kitchen and dining space was below the bedroom space. I climbed the staircase and found the bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms shared a wall and the last one was in a corner of the room which had a window at the end of the hallway. I checked the bedrooms and they all had a kingsize bed, an in-built walk-in closet, a jacuzzi bath and a shower space. I came downstairs and walked onto the balcony, it was there that I realised the building appeared to be a two-storey building. Standing at the rail

    "Shall the company get you the services of a stylist too?" Alex asked."No need," I said and went upstairs. I chose the bedroom in the corner which had the window at the corner after the entry door. I looked outside through the window on my left briefly before pushing the door open. I couldn't find my bag sitting anywhere. I slid open the walk-in closet and my eyes popped out of their socket. I wondered where all the clothes and shoes were coming from. I checked the room earlier when my bag was brought in and it was empty. There was a small chair where I could sit and put on my shoes. What looks like a counter sits in the middle. It had mini drawers. I pulled one open and I gasped. They were filled with jewellery of all designs. They looked very expensive. Some were in boxes others were just hooked up to holders. I raised my head and realize all the clothes were in labelled sections. All the clothes I brought had been hung in a section labelled casual. I frowned but still picked a dr

    Olivia's POVThe day slowly went by and I was glad I didn't have to see Alex or that Maria girl. I heard him walking in the hallway a couple of times but never bothered to find out what was keeping him busy. I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I didn't know how much time had flown. The phone on my desk rang drawing my attention to it. I picked up the receiver and brought it to my ears. "Hello," I said into the mouthpiece. "Ms Hudson, you are needed at the event hall. The event is about to start," came Mr Wilson's voice."Okay," I replied recalling Alex had mentioned there was going to be an event at the company. I closed the files I was working on and shut down my laptop. I placed it inside my bag and after ensuring I had not left anything behind, I stepped out of the office and locked it up as advised by Mr Wilson. I walked down the hall towards the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor upon entering the elevator. The elevator opened on the first floor and I

    Alex kept me company asking me one question after the other while we stood next to the bar and watched employees have fun. Mr Wilson walked up to him and whispered something into his ears."Excuse me," he said to me and left with Mr Wilson.I exhaled and sat on the bar stool. Just then Maria walked up to me. I rolled my eyes at her."I thought you said you were not interested in Alex. So what are you doing being all lovey-dovey with him," Maria sneered."Look, Maria, I am not interested in this kind of conversation. Please find someone who is interested and chat with the person," I said and got down from the bar stool and was about to leave but she grabbed me by my arms preventing me from leaving. "Listen carefully, you slut. I will not have you disrespect me and just so you know, your silly tricks will not work on Alex this time," Maria said."The way I see it, you are the one disrespecting yourself walking up to me and talking about things that are not even part of my priority.
