I entered the King’s Corp as stoic as possible, with every employee greeting me good morning, I didn’t pay attention as I head on to my penthouse office, buying a bouquet of tulips on my phone and adressing the flowers at Safina’s apartment, paying for it through my phone as well. I came across my wallpaper, it was a stolen photo that I took of Safina on the field of tulips in The Netherlands for a business trip and our third anniversary last year. I sighed and smiled at the photo softly

I’m not going to stop until I have her back as my girlfriend.

The elevator door opens as I stepped inside, I was about to press it closed but a familiar voice stopped me

“Hold it Max.” my father says as he stepped inside the elevator and closed the elevator door

I put my phone on my suit pocket and cleared my throat as I pressed the penthouse button “What brings you here dad? Your monthly visit isn’t until the 30th.” I stated

“Just because you’re the CEO, doesn’t mean that you have complete cont

    Lex’s Point of View “Well Mr. Moore, the Queen will like the economy boost upon knowing that you’re interested in expanding your company to our country. Though if I may ask, why do you want to expand in Valtora? We are a small country.” The Valtoran consul asked as we ate our lunch in the restaurant Safina had chosen for us. “Well I’ve been in Valtora a few times with the recent trip being my honeymoon with my wife and the scenery and tourist spots are beautiful, the people are extremely welcoming, hospitable and kind, my father actually planned to expand to Valtora and make me oversee the project after I graduate college but it didn’t come to pass because he died suddenly on my freshman year.” I stated, taking a sip of the white wine that came with my meal. “Ah I remember Arthur Moore. He’s just as keen as you are to expand in Valtora, though I didn’t meet with him formally to discuss his plans.” He stated “I can tell that your company will boost the Valtoran economy, let’s just ho

    “I’m not interested in going Leo.” I told him as soon as I entered his office, closing the door once I got inside“Why not? This is the perfect time to show them you’ve moved on from their bullsh*t. And maybe rub in Preston’s face that you’ll be expanding in Valtora soon, considering that the meeting went well.” He smirked, leaning back into his chair“It did, and hopefully if the meeting goes well with the Queen and her husband… That could be a reality.” I sighed, sitting on the love seat and ignoring his first statement.“So you should attend! Show them that they don’t affect you anymore, that you’re a lot more successful than they are.” He says in encouragementI scoffed “Who even says I’m affected?”“I didn’t, but I’ve known you long enough to know that you’re still hurting for what Giselle and Preston did to you.” He smiled sadly at meI closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to prevent the horrible memory from resurfacing.Flashback, Two years agoI sighed in cont

    I sighed as I watched Lex leave the room, smiling at me before doing so. I’ve rejected a lot of men before while working here and I’m used to seeing angry, disappointed or even sad faces after I turned them down. But why do I feel bad rejecting him? “That’s because you’re into him!” my subconscious yells I shook my head with a frown, ejecting the thoughts in my mind. Sure I find him attractive, and he’s not like other men of the same class and stature that I’ve had the displeasure of encountering in both jobs as a personal assistant and as a stripper. “But whatever happened between us can’t happen anymore, especially now that he’s my f*cking boss.” I mumble to myself with a sigh, shaking my head as I get back outside, getting a drink from the bartender “I wonder what did you do so bad that Mr. Moore had to leave so early.” Ruby says condescendingly with a scoff “What I do with my client is none of your business Ruby. You don’t see me complaining when you hog clients from other

    “I can’t believe you’re going to the engagement party!” Bella exclaimed as she drags me to the mall to look for a dress that I’ll wear for the event once I told her about what happened earlier today“It just came out of my mouth all of a sudden!” I frowned “I never even wanted to go to that party in the first place as an employee, even more so now that I’m fired.” I scoffed“Then what made you say yes hm?” She wonders as we got in a boutique that specializes in elegant dresses “You rejected him as Angel, so why are you going with him as Safina?”“I don’t know why I said yes to going Bels, that’s the problem. It doesn’t even help that Mr. Matthews isn’t coming with us because of a familial emergency.” I frowns “It’s just going to be me and him for the rest of the night.” I added with a sigh as I admire beautiful dresses on the rack “You know babes, I feel for you because life seems to f*ck you up by giving you the same men in different fonts.” She teased “They’re both billionaires

    *Meanwhile, in another part of the mall*“Thank you for taking me to eat ice cream daddy!” Rosie exclaims happily, eating her peanut butter and cookie dough ice cream “Though shouldn’t you be still at the office way past my bed time?” she wonders, hot fudge messily sticking on the edge of her mouth “The office isn’t that busy today buttercup, so I decided to spend the rest of my afternoon and my evening with you.” I chuckled, handing her a napkin to wipe her face with “Besides, I didn’t spend my birthday with you remember? So this is my late birthday treat to us.” I added with a grin“Oh yeah I remember, you went out with Uncle Leo! What did he do for your birthday present daddy? Did he give you one too?” she wiped her lips and cheeks with the napkin“He uh took me out to drink and I kinda slept at his place.” I smiled, half lying to my daughter as I ate a spoonful of my own ice cream “He didn’t get you a girlfriend?” she asked and I almost choked at her question but I cleared

    After I had bought Mr. Moore’s breakfast, I went straight to the office as quickly as I can, greeting my coworkers as I went in the elevator, just as I was pressing the penthouse button, a familiar voice stopped me from doing so “Safina wait!” Mr. Matthews or Leo hollers as he rushed so he can make it inside the elevator “Good morning Mr. Matthews.” I smiled at him before pressing the penthouse button “Good morning Safina, is Lex in yet?” He asked “And again please call me Leo. I’m not your boss and I feel old if people call me Mr. Matthews, the girls at Fire and Desire already do.” He huffed “Alright then.” I chuckled, nodding “And I suppose so, he asked me to get his breakfast.” I showed him the paper bag containing Mr. Moore’s breakfast “He’s working too much again.” He sighed, shaking his head “He’s had more overtimes than vacation days over the years, even more so when his wife died. I literally had to convince him to let loose on his birthday party more than a week ago.” he

    I sighed and focused myself on my laptop, trying to get some work done as most of the employees had left, including Safina. That girl has been through so much from what she has told me, having to deal with a lazy, rude, unappreciative and ungrateful man for a boss.But I feel like she’s leaving something out.I shake my head to get rid of my nosy thoughts as whatever she’s leaving out isn’t my business and tried to focus once more onto my laptop screen“Seriously man? You’re working again?” Leo says as he walks into my office“I am and isn’t that what you’re supposed to be doing too? I don’t pay you to slack you know.” I rolled my eyes at him then focused on my laptop once again“I’ve already finished my work a few hours ago thank you very much.” He quipped and sat on the loveseat “You’re being too much of a workaholic again.” He points out“I’m distracting myself.” I closed the laptop, not bothering to lie to my best friend of 33 years “Rosie told me she wants me to get a gir

    Safina’s POV “It was glorious darling. I wish you could’ve seen Leo’s friend defend you from Ruby! She was about to get fired but he stopped it and gave Ruby pity money… although Leo still fired that p*ta.” Mama Benj chuckled as he excitedly called me as I get up and get ready for work to tell me what happened on my day off at Fire and Desire “Can’t say I’m surprised Ma, she deserved it. The other girls will definitely benefit from Ruby’s firing.” I chuckled, tying my hair up into a low ponytail after I did my makeup “What did Ruby even say to Le- I mean Mr. Moore?” I ask “She exposed your rough upbringing to him, called your mom a dr*ggie. And how you got here in Fire and Desire.” He scoffed “But he said and I quote ‘I’d rather spend my time with someone that has a bad past yet a decent person than a desperate, insecure b*tch like you.’ Well after he rejected her and insulted her fake t*ts…” he giggled “Nobody’s rejected her before though.” I point out as I wore my heels and smoot

    Lex’s POV“I don’t know what happened with you and Angel but the other night she asked me to give this to you.” Leo handed me a small purple envelope after barging into my office just as I sat down on my desk “Maybe she’s asking you out on a date…” he teased “Good morning to you too Leo. I’m good this morning, thanks for asking.” I rolled my eyes as I took the envelope tentatively “Don’t you have a meeting to get to today?” I asked sarcastically “It’s not until 9:30 so indulge me on what happened between you and little Miss Angel. Did you guys b*ng again?” he asked with a smirk“Since when did you become a nosy b*stard with my personal life?” I scoffed, distracting myself with my computer and ignored the envelope as best I could“Two things, you’ve been seeing my shyest employee and it’s been two years since you’ve been on the dating scene, and you broke that thanks to Angel.” He points out“I’m not dating her, she rejected me the last time we saw each other after I went out

    I still decided to go to Fire and Desire a few hours later and focused on getting as much tips as possible tonightThough before going to work, I decided to at least cook something for Bella when she gets home. I cooked up some rice and take out the milkfish marinated in vinegar and garlic out of the freezer that I successfully haggled for at the Asian supermarket and fried that up and I also decided to make a quick pickled salad with daikon radishes, onions and tomatoes seasoned with jalapeno instead of Asian chilies because my vendor ran out.It was something my mom loved to make for me on a daily basis, and milkfish is rare at the time“Guess who quit her job babe?!” Bella says cheerfully as the door opened “Well technically resigned and I’m starting a new job as an intern at Style Life Magazine… hopefully.” She grinned as she placed her box of things at the coffee tableI smiled as I put the prepared food on the table “When did you resign officially?” her resignation didn’t surpri

    Meanwhile…Jack parked the car on my apartment’s driveway. By now I had stopped crying and kept quiet, getting out of the car and smiling at the couple “I’m sorry for the inconvenience Mama Benj… Jack.”“Don’t mention it Saf, we’re happy to help.” Jack smiled kindly“Are you sure you’re okay sweetie? You can take a day off of work-” Mama Benj began but I cut him off “No Ma, I need the money… My monthly due date at the bank is coming up and I need the cash as soon as possible.” I smiled weakly “See you later.” I waved goodbye before heading into my apartment As soon as I close the door, all the emotions came to me as if somebody stabbed me repeatedly with a knife... As the people who mattered to me most don’t think that I am good enough….“This isn’t the job I want for you Safina.” My mother says as she puts down my essay and shook her head “You’re a very intelligent girl and it’s such a shame that you’re not using your brain for a course that can lead to a high paying job in t

And I’m sorry if I disturbed you.” He smiled apologetically at me“Nonsense Clifford, I’m happy to give feedback when needed. Don’t hesitate to come to me if you have an idea or a concern, and if I’m not here then I’m sure Safina can help you too.” I assured him“Of course sir. I should get going.” He nods and went to his department I was heading to Safina’s office when I heard my phone ring, it’s Wilma… and all of a sudden, the bad feeling in my stomach rises again. I quickly answered the phone “Wilma? Is everything okay?”“No Lex, Safina left the building… crying. I’m worried about her.” Wilma says worriedly My gut feeling was right “F*ck, alright… I’ll try to contact her, has Max King left yet?” I ask, anger and irritation bubbled inside me at the mention of that man“Unfortunately not, I haven’t seen him or his assistant.

    I did my best to calm my nerves in the bathroom. Taking deep breaths as I look at myself in the mirror “Breathe Safina… he’s just here for business, you’re safe from him. You moved on from him. He’s not going to hurt you in any way anymore.” I gave myself a pep talk and adjusted my hairI hear the door open and I saw him enter the ladies’ room with a knowing smile on his face “This is the ladies’ room. You shouldn’t be in here Max.” I turn to face him, putting on a brave face “I know, I just wanted to talk to you.” He says, stepping towards me“We have nothing to talk about the moment you stuck your d*ck inside another girl! And I knew that the girl from the penthouse isn’t the first girl you f*cked.” I spat“I apologized for that Saf!” he reasons “A-And yes I drunkily cheated on you in Greece. But I didn’t want to tell you because I don’t want to lose you.” He admits, thinking it will help his caseI scoffed “After I quit, you preceded to blacklist me in almost every company in

    I had asked Safina to escort Maximilian and his assistant into the conference room. I did wish to know why Max King would want to do business with me as his father and I have a never-ending rivalry since our teenhood and it hasn’t stopped through the years.I am hoping that he’s nothing like his father, but from what Safina has told me, he’d been a competent executive but not as CEO. He became dependent on her and he takes complete credit of things as if Safina didn’t help him.The door opened and Safina walks in with Max King and his assistant, Max’s eyes never left Safina as she closed the door.“Welcome to Moore Industries, Mr. King.” I interrupted his trance on my assistant. “It’s a pleasure to have you here.” I offered my hand for a handshake“The pleasure is all mine Mr. Moore, trust me.” He stole a glance at Safina “And please call me Max, Mr. King is my father.” He smiled “This is Percy Sandoval. My secretary.” He says, introducing his secretary to me“It’s nice to meet y

    “Mr. Moore has accepted the meeting sir, I talked to his secretary and she set up a meeting next Monday at 3pm, at Moore Industries` penthouse conference room.” Percy says to me the following morning in my office“Good, I want Lex Moore to know that I mean business. But in reality, I want to take him and his company down.” I spat “It’s high time that I do something that my father never did, and that is to be better than him in all aspects.” I scoffed, sitting down on my desk “Go, finish up the report my former secretary revised for the monthly meeting with my father. And we’ll arrive fifteen minutes early to take Moore by surprise.” I told him. He nods and leaves, closing the door.I open my laptop and sigh at the sight of my screen…It’s Safina and I after we went to the tattoo shop on our first anniversary, replicating the spaghetti kiss from Lady and the Tramp in my favorite Italian restaurant.*Flashback: Max and Safina’s One Year Anniversary*“This place is wonderful Max, th

    I kept staring at the email for what felt like hours… Max King had sent me an email yesterday with the purpose of having a possible partnership.“Hey Lex here’s the revised marketing presentation that you asked for– why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” Leo walks in my office, holding a flash drive “What happened?”“Would you believe me if I told you that Maximilian King is asking to meet with me soon regarding a possible working relationship?” I asked, still frowning as I show him my laptop screen“It really is the end of the world!” he joked as he finishes reading the mail“It’s not funny Leonard.” I stood up and looked at my window “Ever since Preston and I stepped up as the respective heads in our companies, we were rivals.” I let out a sigh“Maybe Max King is different than his father. He might want to bury the hatchet.” Leo says positively, I nodded apprehensively“From what Safina has told me, when he became CEO he is just as bad as his father had been.” I faced Leo

She didn’t know that my father was married to someone else, he abandoned us for his wife when I was six.” She stated with a sigh “Then at sixteen I fell in love with the guy who I lost my virginity to, only to find out he was using me to finally graduate.” She chuckles sadly “Then my mom died due to an overdose when I was a little over nineteen, leaving me with debts I didn’t even know existed.” She sighedMy heart hurts for the girl I love as we both have cruel fathers and
