Sighing softly, I rub my tired neck. Sipping from the glass of juice, my phone started ringing.

Seeing the ID of my lawyer, I sighs out again before picking it up.

“Hello!”

“President Chester, she beat us too!” He said and frowned, totally confused at his words.

“Beat us to what?”

“She has filed some charges against you and we have been invited by her lawyer probably for negotiations”

“What are the charges!"

"Defamation of character, Threat To Life, and Attempting Murder!” He said and I clench fist in anger.

“Hmm… I can see she is smart! Alright, set up a meeting with her attorney for tomorrow afternoon, let's hear what she has to say” I said coldly before hanging up.

“Sofia! Alright, let's see how far you can go about this!” I said, before standing up from the couch, leaving the glass of juice behind. My appetite for drinking has completely been ruined.

It was exactly nine am when the arrival of her plane was announced at the airport.

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    Nasty CEO!

    “You are welcome!” He said, while taking my luggage away from me and we all started walking towards a parked car. “So, tell me Mr Andrus…” I wanted to say more. “Sorry to interrupt you, but can you quit with Mr? Just call me Andrus!” He said, and Murphy coughs slightly again. “Are you alright? You look tired!” I said, looking concerned. This CEO is a piece of trash! Does it mean he doesn't value friendship very much? Murphy looked tired, and he still sent him to come and pick me up. Well..he definitely meets his match, because I'm not going to condone any trashy attitudes from him!. Strange enough, I haven't seen the face of the heartless CEO as described by bloggers! Going through few of his pictures online only showed his back view, and never his face! How he does it is something I was puzzled about, until more research about him online shows that he controls over eighty percent of the media sector! Damned! The man is powerful! I was still saying inwardly to myself until Andrus,

    But what, pretty boy?” I said, and Andrus laughed out again. He seems to enjoy hearing me tease Murphy. “The CEO wears a half-cover mask on his face!” Murphy said, the sudden sharp screening of the car's brake, almost gave me a heart attack. “I am deeply sorry, Sir Murphy!” Andrus quickly apologized to him. “What is wrong?” Are you alright? Let me drive, if you are not feeling too well!” I said before turning to look at Murphy who was not perplexed at the sudden event. He seems to look calm for something like this. Or perhaps, he already knew about Andrus driving style? I thought inwardly. “I'm fine, miss! I am deeply sorry for that. It's just that ... .it's just that I heard something….!” “Please drive the car, Andrus!” Murphy, sharply but calmly interrupts him. “Yes, sir!” Andrus replied before starting the car. Leaning back on the seat, I watched him close his eyes before I did the same. There is something about Murphy that screams mystery! There seems to be this deep conne

    “No, sir!” He said after a pause.“Good! Head to Lawson's firm at once!” I said on entering the car.“Yes, sir!” He said and then zoomed off. Ten minutes later, we arrived at my lawyer's firm and passed through the backdoor. It was a famous law firm with wealthy clients seeking his legal advice. Entering the private elevator used solely by me, I head straight for his private office. I have the largest share of the private law firm. “President Chester, welcome sir!” Lawson's mild tone voice spoke up immediately and Andrus opened the door.I entered the room to see Sofia seated at the right side of a single black color couch, looking pale from god's knows what. A stout man with a bald head I presumed was her lawyer, is sitting in the single couch close to her while Lawson's was sitting in a double couch. Well…he was gracious enough to have served them coffee except for Sofia who had a bottle of water close to her.“Welcome president Chester, this is an honor to meet with you sir! The

    “Thank you sir, for honoring our invitation!” Her lawyer said. “The pleasure is mine!” With that, I walk out of the room with Andrus behind me. About entering the elevator, I heard yelling voices. “And you call yourself a lawyer? For Christ sake, you messed up everything! Literally, everything, Mr Smithwiggles!” An angry female voice sounding like Sofia, said. “I did not mess anything up, Miss Vergara! The lawyer was right in seeking proof of your claims…!” The lawyer was still trying to say something when she angrily interrupt him. “How can you let yourself feel intimidated by his mere presence? Gush! You made me feel like a foot before him!” Her voice became faint when the elevator door closed. “You can take a cab home, Andrus. I want to drive home, myself!” I said and he turned to stare at me. “Is there something else you want to say?” I asked without looking at him. “No, sir!” “Good!" I said,while coming out of the elevator and headed straight to the parked car. “Good da

    It's me, Murphy!” “Of course I know it's you, Murphy!” She said, sounding like someone who is trying not to laugh out. “How did you know it was me?” I pressed on, wanting to hear more. I want to hear her calm voice. It feels soothing to the ears. “Are you drunk or something? Of course I saved your contact on my phone! And your voice…” “My voice? What about my voice?" I quickly interrupted her, eager to hear what she had to say. “You have this kind of voice that sounds not too loud to the ears, but at the same manly. Like, It's in between. Gush! I really don't know how to describe it!” “Are you saying I sound feminine to the ears?” I tease her. “No…come on Murphy, you definitely know what I am talking about!” She said, and I laughed out hard, and loud. Wow! It has been a long time since someone has made me feel free, free with my real self!. “Alexis! Umm…can I call you that?” I asked not wanting to sound too informal or disrespectful to her. “Alexis? Wow! That sounds

    “So quickly? I thought he said thirty minutes?” Taking my purse, I head straight for the elevator. “Wow! You look stunning!” He said, on sighting me walking towards him. “Thank you! I hope I didn't overdo it?” I said, feeling shy from his hard stare. And I wonder why! I am the one always in control, not the other way around! So what's up with this new attitude around men? Or perhaps, just around Murphy?. “Nah! It's simple dressing but stunning!” He said, still staring at me. “Okay! Shall we?” I said, and he quickly opened the car door with a gentle smile. “Thank you!” I said on entering the same sporty car earlier on. “You are welcome, ma'am!”. With that, he drove off. “So, where are we going to?” I asked him after a brief silent between us. “To somewhere simple, quiet, but amazing!” He said with a smile. I noticed his tight grip on the steering wheel and wondering what he is nervous or anxious about!. “Alright!” I said and then turn to look at the bright, busy street. He d

    “What is it?” She turns to look at me, the moment I unconsciously sighs out loudly. “Nothing, Alexis! Alright, we are there!” I said quickly changing the topic. Looking for a good place to park the car, I came out and open the car door for her. “Wow! It quiet, and looks simple too!” She said, looking around the Chinese restaurant. “You like it here? We can go elsewhere if you want to!” “No…I love it here. Actually, I hate crowdy places!” She replied and i smiled, while we both walked towards the restaurant with few customers. “Hello, Murphy! Long time, no see!” a slim build man, who is the husband of the owner of the restaurant, said with his English-Chinese accent. “Hello, Mr Liu! How are you doing?” I replied with hug. “Fine, fine! Welcome, miss!” He said to her with a handshake. “Thank you sir!” She replied, blushing. “Murphy! How are you doing, pretty boy?" Mrs Lui, a beautiful middle aged woman, who is the owner of the restaurant, said on seeing me. “Am fine

    Wow! Hearing it makes me wants one too!” She. “Of course you can share with him, if you want to!” Mrs Lui said and then turn to wink at me. Looking at retreating figure, I smiled within my myself. Soon, the hot pot arrived and was place on the table especially made for it. Looking at her face, I saw her swallowing her hard. Ten minutes later, we were done. Checking my wristwatch, it was getting late, and I need to drop her at home before driving back home. “Are you okay?" I asked on seeing her rubbing her arm due to cold. “I'm fine, just a little bit cold!” She replied, still rubbing her arms. “Please, excuse me for a minute!” I said, stood up and went to settle the bill. “Let me take you back home, Alexis! The weather is kinda of cold tonight!” I said and she nods her eyes. Opening the car door for her, she enters and I did the same. I was about driving off when Hang ran down to us.

    "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

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

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
