CHESTER BLACKWOOD POV On driving off, I silently wonder who is the gorgeous lady, my mom went out on a dinner with? Probably one of the daughter's of those elites family seeking to steal my hard earned wealth through marriage. “I really hope she doesn't buy their lies and life of deceit! Those kind of ladies would do anything just to achieve their aim unlike someone else I know” I said while the thought of her, flashes through my mind immediately. She hasn't even call me thw whole day. Well not that I care though, after all, I have made up my mind to stay away from her. Arriving home ten minutes later, I freshen and decided to sleep earlier for tomorrow's duty. ******** ALEXANDRIA POV The strong ray of light from the slightly opened curtains flashes on my face, and I turned to face the other side of the bed. Suddenly I jolted up and I tried to calculate in my brain the missing link to something. Turning sharply to the other side of the bed, I grabbed the black box shaped digit
"Let the new personal secretary come in!” The voice spoke out from within the office again, and I swallowed hard before approaching his office. I have never been this tensed because of anybody before, so why now?. “Good for her! Boss, is definitely giving her the sack very soon!” Gabriela said and I turned to look at her, wondering what her problem is with me?”. “How long is it going to take for you to open the door and fucking come in?" The voice sounded and I tremble slightly. Damned, his stern, cold voice, is deeply intimidating to the ears. “Good morning sir!” I said on entering the spacious office with beautiful interior designs. He was standing facing the wall. He is the same height with Murphy, and as for the mask…. “What is fucking good about the morning? Miss Alexandria!" He said calmly but coldy that I tried not to show my fear. “Why are you just coming now? Are you aware that this is your first day of resumption? Didn't my friend inform you about the rules? That is if

“Yes, sir!” Andrus, quickly hurry into his own office to make a call. “So, easily?” I questioned myself inwardly, wondering why he is acting like the devil itself. This man is heartless! How could Murphy be friends with such a cold, hearted man?” I resolved to ask him, the next time I see him. “But…sir! Please, sir! It won't repeat itself again! Oh my goodness! What have I done wrong? It must be this witch, here! She is evil, and brings bad luck! She needs to be sacked too!” She said loudly pointing fingers towards my direction, almost running wild. "Oh! really? A witch? That sounds just great!" i said with a grin, and she rushed towards me like someone fully possessed by demon's. She was about getting closer to me, her eyes glimmering with hate, when two strong hands suddenly grabbed by the waist and pulled her roughly along with them. "Mr president! please give me another chance at my job! bitch! this isn't the end of it yet!" She screamed loudly while being dragged away.
“First, I was only trying to respect your boundaries, sir! And secondly, I can work with minimum supervision, sir?” I said with a blank face.“Alright! Let's see about that! I have sent some mail to you concerning tomorrow's meeting with some stakeholders and a business transaction with Sung’s corporation. Go through it, and send it to the various appropriate company's departments!” He said, then resumed working on his laptop.“Yes, sir” I said, and then walked out immediately.“He thinks he can easily scare me off? Nah, I need this job more than ever now!” I said to myself before going through the new mails, and I printed them out for easier proofreading. Thirty minutes later, I was done. Quickly, I started writing mails for the appropriate departments it concerns. I was almost through when Sande's call came in. Thinking that it might be an emergency back at home, I picked the call. I quickly dismissed her when I confirmed that everyone including my sick dad are responding to treatme
“Hush! Did she hear us? I told you to be careful! Alright, I am out of here!” She said, and then stood up immediately. The others did the same.“But I won't mind getting married to my boss! He is so handsome!” One of them said in a low tone.“In your dreams, right?" Another said with a sneer, and they laughed at the said dreamer!.“What a world! I can't imagine being gossiped about this way!” I said, and Andrus grins at me.“This is the corporate world, Alexandria! And in the world of business, gossip moves faster than lightning! Hence, you need to be very careful with what you say or do!” He said, and I paused to reflect on what he said.“Is that why he is this way? Because he doesn't trust anyone?" I said deeply in thought."Alexandria, it's time to go back!” he said, and I stood up, deeply, grateful for the brief meal.“What were you thinking about?” He suddenly asked me on our way back to the office.“Why in the world would anyone think of getting married to a man like that?” I sa
“Have you prepared the report concerning the inspection of the site?” he asked without taking his eyes off the laptop.“It will be ready in a minute sir!” I replied, almost in whimpers. The hunger was seriously telling on me, now.“What is wrong?” he asked, looking at me, and I was confused.“How, sir?”“You don't sound, or look okay!” He asked and I became more confused at his sudden show of care.“I'm alright, sir” I said, swallowing hard.“Alright!” Please let the report be ready quickly!" He said, and I turned to walk out of the office only for him to call my name.“Yes, sir?” I said, turning back to look at him.“Take this! It's past lunch break already, and I care for the welfare of all my staffs” He handed over a fancy designed bag to me.“Thank…thank you sir” I stutter, deeply shocked by his gesture. With that, I walked out of the office when he did not say anymore words.On opening the packed foods, I was surprised to see my favorite Chinese dishes, carefully packed with ca
“Why did you say so?” He asked before opening the car door for me to enter when we got to where he parked at the front of the company. “Well, he acted like an asshole today!” I said while strapping on my seatbelt and he turned to look at me. “You know, it isn't right to talk bad about your boss?” He asked with a grin. “Not when I am saying the damned truth!" I said and he drove off immediately, still smiling. “So what made him an asshole, today?" "Promise you wouldn't tell on me?" I said with a stern tone, and he glanced at my face briefly. “I wouldn't!" "Alright! But first, tell me why you are friends with him?” I asked, and he smiled again. “I'm not just friends with him. We are actually distant cousins. Maternal distance cousins! Remember what I said about being like-minded with the CEO?” He asked and I remembered it. “You are actually cousins! And he had the nerve to assume we are fucking each other?” I asked and he laughs out softly. “He actually told me a little of
"Boss! Thank goodness you are awake!” She said, rushing to my side, holding something I presumed to be food in a designer bag. “What are the both of you doing here?” I say, frowning at Andrus. “Sorry Boss! But…” Andrus wanted to say more when he was interrupted by her. “What do you mean by that?” She said her bright face suddenly turning into a frown, and I wonder why I just can't keep my mouth shut, sometimes. Well, it's too late to keep quiet now! After all I have a reputation to protect before them all. “You know what I meant by that! Why are the both of you here instead of being at the office?" I said pretending to be angry. "You ungrateful man! I knew you were going to change into your nasty behavior the moment you open your eyes” Her said glaring at me. Swallowing hard, I wondered why everyone choose to turn a blind eyes to her insults instead of shutting her up. “Did you just called me nasty?" "Yes I did, so fucking so?” “Do you realize that I am still your Boss!" "Y
“Of course she knows about what is going on in her husband’s conglomerate! Knowing who her son's has employed is a little matter for her even if Boss might not inform her!” He explained, and my thoughts started spinning around. “Does it means that she knew who I was all along but turned a blink eyes to it. Or she already did a background check on me? No wonder she felt so comfortable around me!” I said, feeling bewildered. “I don't think going to her for help concerning my dad's treatment is a good ideal anymore! I have to find another means of rasing the money! Maybe I should start looking for a stripping club to start performing after working hours!” I resolved in my mind. “What are you thinking about?" Andrus asked me and I smiled faintly. "Nothing in particular!” "She is a wonderful woman, Alex! There is nothing to be worried about!” He said and I smiled at him again, saying nothing more. Turning to look at Boss, I saw his fingers moved suddenly, quickly I moved closer
“Of course, he will! He just needs a little bit of rest from the business stress!” Lady Ave said, and everyone sighs out softly. No one can disagree with the fact that Boss Chester works so hard!. “Mum! Why don't you sit down first! He will be fine! my Boss, wouldn't be happy to see you looking this way!” I said while guiding her out of the ward. “She is right! Let me take you home! You need to rest yourself!” Daniel said, and I smiled my gratitude to him. “I am coming with you!” I said, still allowing her to lean on me. “No, please stay with him! And inform us the moment he wakes up!” Chester’s dad said, already walking towards his wife. “Alright sir!” With that, Daniel leads them out. “Andrus, I think we need some fresh fruits for him just incase he sis craving for something when he wakes up!” I said when the silence became unbearable, and he nodded his head. “That is a brilliant idea! And please get me a cup of milkshake when coming!” The pretty lady said, to which Andrus s
CHESTER BLACKWOOD POVI suddenly jolted up from sleep in panic mode, and my heart immediately rumbled in pain.Grunting loudly, I gripped the bed sheet tightly while placing my left hand over my heart region.“What is wrong with me today? Why do I keep having this dream anytime I have a disagreement with Alexandria? Is she in anyway related to my nightmare?” I ponder silently while struggling to get up from the bed, suddenly the door opened, and someone hurried inside on seeing me struggling with myself.“Chester! Oh my God! Chester what is wrong with you? Are you alright?” A female voice sounds worried."What…what..are you doing here?” I managed to ask on seeing Sofia. What is she doing in my house so early this morning? I asked myself, and wanted to say more when another pulse of pain wave hit my heart and I grunted out loudly.“Oh my god! What is going on?" She cried out in panic while I started hitting the bedsheets violently. The pain was becoming unbearable and my vision blurry.
ALEXANDRIA POV I was clearly having fun with Murphy, and his friend Daniel, until he did the unthinkable. How could he kiss me without my consent? Well, I did lead him on with me peeking him on the cheeks days ago! But that was done out of excitement!.“What made him think he can do the same to me?. He must be out of his damned mind!” I said, while struggling to pull off my dress in anger."Men are just too predictable! Give a man a axe, and he will end up chopping down the entire wood!” I scoffed loudly still struggling with the dress. Suddenly I heard a ripping sound from the back, and I paused in disbelief.“Please, don't tell me my dress made that sound?" I questioned myself, quickly pulled it off my body, and turned from within, to see a large tear on the hem of the dress.“Urgh! It can't get more worse than this! First it was his crazy kiss, and now a ripped dress?” Tossing the dress into a laundry basket, I walked into the bathroom to freshen up.“Why did he do that? Does it m
“Bro, I thought you have gone home?” Daniel said, looking surprised on seeing me back at the club. “Yeah, but changed my mind! Give me a drink, bro!” I said before snatching the bottle of champagne from his hand. He slowly raises his head up with his gaze fixed on me. His eyes, carefully searching my mind for clues to my restlessness tonight. “It's about her, right?” He said, still looking at me. “About who? What are you talking about, dude?” I said, already draining the third glass of champagne. “Calm down dude! I said, enough of the drinking, bro! What is wrong with you?” He said, snatching back the bottle and keeping it away from my reach. “What is wrong with you? Do I look like a wannabe drunkard to you?” I said with a icy glare and he swallowed hard. “I am sorry, man! But I really hoping this is not about that girl? I mean that stripper?” “Don't call her that!” “She is a stripper, dude! That is the fucking, bitter truth!” “I said, don't call her that!" I said more coldly
“Is it that obvious on my face?" "Why won't he be scared of your cold Aura?" She said, after entering the car. "Why are you not scared of me, then?" I finally asked the question bothering me at the office. “Beyond your cold demeanor lays a kind hearted man! I know you are not heartless, Murphy!” She said softly, touching my chest. Staring into her bewitching sea blue eyes, my emotions went wild while carelesing the strains of her hair lurking out of place. Swallowing hard twice, I look at her naturally red lips, again. Suddenly, I kissed her. And i heard her gasps out in surprise, but that didn't stop me from kissing her soft lips. Those red lips have been driving me crazy ever since we arrived at the club. And I could still taste the sweetness of the juice in her saliva. Titling her head closer to mine, I deepen the kiss while her resistance, broke off. Returning the same gesture, I got full access to her lips, and God! She taste so sweet, so fucking sweet! I murmur inwardly, wh
“Murphy my man! How are you doing bro? Wow! You must be Alexandria? I have heard a lot about you! But Murphy never told me that you are more gorgeous than he described!” Daniel said with a smile while holding her hand. Mouthing my deep appreciation to him, I breathe out, deeply relieved of my anxiety. “He did? And he is just telling me about you!” She said, smiling at him. “Come sit Milady!” Daniel gillies her to one of the couches. “You are dutch too!” She said, already sitting down. “A dutch from my maternal side, and a Spanish from my paternal side!” He replied before pouring juice into a glass cup for her. And I wonder what has gotten into him acting super nice to her now. “Wow! What a great hierarchy you have got there!” She said sipping from the juice. “So how did you met my friend? You know he can act like a pear head sometimes!” He said, and he laughs softly. “Ladies first! So how did you became his bestfriend?” He say, andDaniel smiled widely. “Well.. I happened to re
“Can you just calm down and listen to me, please!" I said with my icy tone which always works effect on anyone, and it did worked, because he kept quiet immediately. “Thanks, man! Listen, like i was saying earlier on, I am coming with someone. It's my new employee. I just want you to officially know her better. But the problem is, she doesn't know me as CEO Chester…!” And he quickly interrupted again. “What do you mean, man?" I could feel him frowning now. "What I mean is that, i am interacting with her with two identities. One as Murphy who she knows, and the other as Chester who she also knows but as her Boss!" I said, and he yelled out loudly. "What the hell is that, bro? What do you think you are doing?. Wait a minute? Are you in anyway wanting to date her?. Okay, this thought of mine is silly though, but are you in anyway falling for her?” He bombarded me with questions. “Yes…, i meant No..!, I just like her as a person!” I said, getting more confused at my own words. “You
