“No ma'am! I am just overwhelmed by joy! Thank you so much ma'am!” I said, release her from the hug, cleaned my eyes, made a wish, and then blow off the candle lights.

“Wow, that is my baby girl!” She said, and I smiled, while we started eating.

Soon my phone started ringing, at first I did not want to pick the call but on sighting the caller's ID, I quickly picked it up after a polite excuse.

“Hello! How is it going?” Sande asked me, sounding distressed.

“I'm still working on it, just give me a minute!” I said, while stroking my forehead with the tip of my fingers.

“Are you sure, help is forthcoming?” She asked again, while trying hard not to cry.

“Yes, Sande…” I wanted to say more when I heard someone else screamed loudly at the background.

“Hello! What is going on?” I said, already pacing around now.

She is so powerful that, my grandma was picked right at home and straight to the most famous private hospital in the world! Isn't that wonderful?” She said giggling, still excited. “Meaning?” “Meaning, grandma is receiving a better medical treatment in Lady Ave Merida Blackwood's hospital!” She said in a high pitched voice. “I am sure you know who owns the hospital? How did you get in contact with your boss’s mother, so quickly? Girl, you are deeply connected,now!” She said obviously happy for me, but my head was already spinning around with this information. “Wait a minute! You meant it is the same Blackwood's?

Why will you say such a thing, Chester?” I asked him. “Because that signature smile of yours, literally means something I might not want to hear right now!” He said, peck me on my cheeks before sitting down on the couch opposite me. “Nah! It's nothing, Chester! You hardly come home!” “Mom! I am deeply sorry about that!. I am just so busy these days.

    “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.

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

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?"

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?"

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!

    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

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.
