Chapter 57ALEXA'S POVThe next day, I remembered what happened between me and Nolan and I shook the thought off. I regretted I did that, as I didn't know how to face him after that incident.I took my bath and went straight to the sitting room to sit to clear my head off, but I met Anthony there, and he had already seen me, so I couldn't go back.He was reading a newspaper when he looked at me and smiled.“Good morning.” I greeted him with a smile.It looked like he was satisfied with the sex we had last night, as he kept smiling at me.“Good morning.” He replied.Then he continued reading his newspaper. A few minutes later, Nolan came in with a pineapple juice in his hand and greeted me and his father. But I replied with no emotions.Nolan sat beside me and started talking about some things that I would have laughed to on a normal day, but I only nodded and gave him replies that looked like I wasn't really interested in what he was saying.“Uhm, I'm going out to get something. I'll

Chapter 58“We were just talking about you both. Come and have a seat.” Anthony said.Nolan walked up to them and sat close to Alexa.“Listen, both of you. I don't want you both to have a quarrel, and if you have one right now, I want you to settle it now.” Anthony said.“Uhm…" Nolan was about to speak, but Alexa interrupted.“There's no existing quarrel between us, we're cool.” Alexa said.ALEXA'S POVWhat did he plan to say? He could tell his father that he kissed me, and I'm overreacting, not knowing I've had something with his father. Oh, no! I can't even bear for Anthony to know about this, it must never happen.Anthony looked at Nolan, who was taken aback and then nodded in agreement. He knew there was a problem between them and wanted to get to the roots if only they would cooperate, then he sighed and turned to Nolan.“Look, Nolan, everything Alexa does for you is for your own good. You don't have to take it personally, she's just looking out for you.” Anthony said.His phone

Chapter 59Kathy kept glaring at me as she made her way upstairs while I went upstairs. Then Nolan came out and called her name in surprise. He looked surprised to see her, as he was not expecting her at all. Kathy ran over to Nolan and hugged him tight.“Baby, I've missed you so much.” Kathy said.“You didn't tell me you were coming over today.” Nolan said.“You've been ignoring me since the party. Why would you do that to me? I missed you so much and couldn't bear it any longer, that's why I came over. Don't you miss me?” Kathy said.ALEXA'S POVI got downstairs and could hear them as I headed to the sitting room. I rolled my eyes as I heard Kathy talk so sweetly to Nolan.Then I remembered the party and became shocked when I recalled how someone had laid hands on her when she got high and fell on the cold floor. I knew I had done many abominable things at the party, which my boyfriend must not see.I kept hearing Kathy's voice and even got tired of it. Not only that, but I wished

Chapter 60It was evening and Nolan and Kathy cane out of Nolan's room. They both looked like they had a fight as they weren't smiling, neither were they holding hands.I took my gaze away from them, and I could feel that Kathy's eyes were fixed on me as she came downstairs. I watched as Nolan went over to the dining to join his father.“I'm about to leave.” Kathy smiled.“Why don't you join us for dinner, Kathy?” Anthony asked.“Oh! If you do not mind, I will join you.” Kathy said as she drew out a chair and then sat down to join them in eating. ALEXA'S POVI watched from behind, with a staff, as the trio were eating like a family. They looked so bright together, and if one were to take a picture of them and show them to another, they would think they were family.Although, soon, they could become family as Kathy was Nolan's girlfriend. It was possible he proposes to her and, of course, she was going to accept.“Alexa.” Kathy called out.I snapped out of my thoughts and focused on K

CHAPTER 61Kathy sat in the living room, staring at Nolan in disbelief. He had just talked back to her, something that had never happened before. She wondered if it was because of the party they had attended the night before. She looked over at Alexa, who was glaring at her, and then at Anthony, who looked just as surprised as she was.Anthony spoke up, breaking the awkward silence. "What party did you guys attend? Alexa didn't mention anything to me."Kathy laughed, glancing over at Nolan, who was looking down at the floor. "Oh, it was just a little get-together. Nothing too crazy."Anthony raised an eyebrow. "Really? I find that hard to believe. What kind of party was it?"Kathy hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. She didn't want to give away too much information, but at the same time, she wanted to share the juicy details. Finally, she decided to spill the beans."Well, two weeks ago, Nolan had a party at his place. There were drinks and drugs and all that stuff. And

He couldn't understand how someone could be so irresponsible, especially when they had been entrusted with such an important task.Kathy then dropped another bombshell, telling Anthony that it didn't seem like Alexa had wanted to stop the party, but would rather join in on the festivities. Anthony's fury turned into disappointment as he realized that he had misjudged Alexa's character.Meanwhile, as the conversation was happening, Alexa sat in the corner of the room, feeling betrayed by Kathy's sudden change in attitude towards her.

CHAPTER 63 Alexa arrived home to find Cody sitting on the couch, watching TV. When he heard the door open, he quickly turned around and his expression immediately changed to one of shock when he saw Alexa standing there."What are you doing here?" he asked, jumping up from the couch.Alexa took a deep breath before answering. "I got suspended from work for a week," she replied, her voice shaking slightly.Cody's eyes widened. "What? Why?" he asked, looking concerned.Alexa took a seat on the couch and told Cody everything that had happened. She told him about the party at Nolan's and how she had been drugged by him. She told him about the video that Kathy had shown Anthony and how she had been suspended along with the rest of the staff.Cody's face grew angrier as she spoke. "That's not fair," he said. "You didn't do anything wrong."Alexa shook her head. "I should have reported it to Anthony right away. I should have known better."Cody sat down beside her and put his arm around her

He had been like this ever since Jade had brought up Anthony Brown, and it was starting to get on Alexa's nerves.Finally, unable to take it anymore, she turned to him and asked, "What's going on with you, Cody? You've been acting weird for days now."Cody paused in his pacing and glared at her. "What do you mean, acting weird? I'm fine.""You're clearly not fine," Alexa countered. "You've been pacing around and muttering to yourself. Is it because of what Jade said about Anthony Brown?"Cody's face darkened. "Yeah, it is. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm glad I didn't choose Jade to take on that job."Alexa raised an eyebrow. "Why's that? You seemed pretty impressed with her skills.""I was," Cody admitted. "But now I'm starting to think she's not as trustworthy as I thought she was. I mean, she's practically drooling over Anthony Brown
