Alexander POV
With my both hands tugged in my trouser pocket, I stood right in front of the French windows in my office, staring down at the view. A soft knock came on the door, “Come in” I said sharply. The door swung open afterward, “Sir, a man is here to…” Felicia was saying, “Let him in” I interrupted her calmly, still not turning around. “Okay sir” The door closes thereafter but opened almost immediately again. “Good morning sir” I finally turned around, completely. He was standing at the door, so I gestured for him to come forward. I took a few more paces to my seat and sat down on the swivel chair, designated only for me. “Are you sure you can do this job?” I asked him in my deepest tone, he chuckled softly, “This is my only specialty sir” He replied, looking considerable. I stared at his fair face for a short while then nodded my head, “It’s alright then, but you have to be careful” I gave notice, he hastily nodded, “I mean with the girl, she’s my girl. So, you’re expected to give a considerable distance between you two, and don’t make her scream too much before you make her understand things, is that clear?” He nodded directly, “Crystal sir”.
My girl? I smiled inwardly, is it right to call her my girl now? “Good, you may leave now” He gave a chivalrous bow then swiveled around and walked away. He was soon at the door when the door suddenly swung open, conveying Mack. “Who are you?” Mack interrogated, checking him from bottom to up. “He’s my guest, Mack,” I told him, he cast me a glance but wasn’t convinced as he kept surveying the man, with keen interest. “Just go” I ordered, he then walked past Mack and slid out the door. “Who was that, Alex?” Mack inquired, walking toward my desk with a paper in his hand. “It’s no one, what’s up?” I said dryly, not wanting to talk about the man. He twitched his mouth then shrugged, “Here’s the list of those who are going to London for that deal with JK finance” He put down the paper on the table and pushed it forward to me. I picked it and began to glance through it, “But there’s a space left for one person, so I don’t know which I should fill in between Kiara and Felicia” I swiftly lifted my head from the paper to look at his face, “Kiara is my Personal Assistant, she ought to be everywhere I am”, I said, rather in a displeased tone. How could he think of sending Kiara away from me for a whole week? “And what about Felicia, she’s also your Personal Secretary” He reminded strongly, staring at my face, as if daring me to argue. “It’s okay, just fill in Felicia’s name. Moreover, it’s been long since she had a short break” I told him, as a matter of fact. He didn’t say a word as he kept staring at my face, “What?” I mouthed, he suddenly scooted a seat then sat down, “Tell me Alexander, what do you feel toward Kiara? You’re acting quite strange” He queried, inquisitively. My lips contorted to a smug smile, “Kiara…” I was saying, but the door abruptly pushed open, revealing her, my girl. I bit my tongue and held down the words I wanted to say. She was looking stunned, probably because I was earlier than usual this morning. “Go back to your office, Mack” I murmured, without extracting my gaze from her carefully made face. “Good morning, sir” She greeted hesitantly, avoiding my gaze. “We’ve got to talk things out bro, later” Mack rose to his feet then moved toward the door, where Kiara was still standing. “How are you, Kiara?” He asked her nicely, “I’m fine Mack, good morning” She spared Mack a glance as she greeted quietly. Mack tilted his head in my direction for a moment, then walked out the door.
My heart was now bubbling with great pleasure but was able to control my facial expression. “You’re not going to stand there all day, are you?” She put up her head to peek at my face but looked away forthwith, I got on my feet and went to sit at the lip of the rectangular desk. “Come here” I ordered, not having the gut to take my eyes away from her sleek figure. Elegantly, she started walking step by step closer, and thus I scrutinized her outfit. Her curly hair was combed to hang on one of her shoulders, she was wearing a pale pinkish blouse with a black pencil skirt which divulged her accurate curves. A pink shoulder bag was hanging from her arm, also, her slender feet were encased in black faux suede ballet shoes. She’s a sight to behold.
She got to where I was, but leaving a substantial distance between us, “Come closer” She ignored me and pretended she didn’t hear what I just said, I didn’t take any offense as I slithered my arm around her tiny waist then drew her onto my chest. She stiffened, avoiding my gaze at all cost. I frowned, “Come on, be obedient,” I told her, she was still not looking at my face, but she had relaxed in my chest. “I’m serious about what I said yesterday,” I began in a low voice, watching the side of her face while toying with her hair, which was droop on her shoulder. However, she was still not saying anything, “So, you should break up with him soon” As soon as I finished my words, she tilted her head to look at my face, fixating her eyes on me. “I’m clearly in my right senses, and what? You expect me to share you with him or anybody?” I said in a righteous tone. She shook her head decisively, “I don’t understand, sir” My eyes darkened, “Don’t tell me that Kiara, you know what I want from you” My tone aggravated, then she pulled out of my grip and bowed slightly, “I’ll head to my seat now,” In a daze, I watched her back until she got to her desk and sat down. She was aware my eyes were on her all these while, but she purposely didn’t spare me a glance.
With heavy pace, I walked through the passageway, heading to Mack’s office. “Good morning sir” A few workers that passes by me greeted, but I didn’t response, the palpitation in my heart hasn’t dissipated one bit. What’s with her cold attitude? I reached out my hand and opened the door then bumped in, he was quite stunned as he watches my face, “What’s wrong?” I didn’t answer him immediately, I sat down on one of the two chairs opposite him, then ruffled my hair. “How do I make her believe that I’m completely in love with her?” I queried in a raspy voice, with a big mess inside my heart. Mack stared at my face for two seconds then suddenly chortled, leaning his back on his seat, “Are you…serious… right now?” He says amidst his upsetting laughter. I sent him a deadly glare, then he pursed his lips, shutting up willingly. “Will you answer my question now?” I snarled, fiercely.
“Hold on, Alexander, are you serious about what you just said?” His eyes are dilated, “I’m fucking serious, you little rascal!” My teeth clenched, “So you need my help, isn’t it?” He giggled, covering his lips with a palm. I watched his face, resisting the urge to stand up and throw some punches into his numb head. “Ha ha, don’t even think you can punch me now, not when you have run to me for a help” He jibes, a silly smirk playing around his lips. I rose to my feet, angrily, “Alright, alright, sit down, I’ll help you” His voice stopped me from turning around, “You better” I rolled my eyes then sat back on my previous seat. “God is so great” He began, “Who would have thought a player as you would fall in love some day?” He emphasized, “Surprisingly…” “To the point Mack, go straight to the point” I interrupted, he crumpled his lips then nodded his head. “Okay, to your question now…” He readjusted himself, leaning closer on the desk. “But hold on Alexander, how about Nicholas, he’s in a relationship with Kiara, isn’t it?” He asked worriedly, my lips curled up in a light smile. “It’s been taken care of,” His brows knitted, “The man you met earlier this morning in my office, he’s appointed to take care of it” He shook his head in awe, then I nodded proudly.
