Rosalie took a sharp breath as she stared at the office door. Once again, she was in his office for a job. The receptionist had thrown her a surprised look but Rosalie cared less.She had to come see him and plead for a second chance.She sniffed and exhaled as she clutched tightly to the folder of files. Even if he had employed a new secretary, she'd ask for another job.Anything to pay her money.After one moment of her mustering courage, she raised her hand to knock and at the same time the door creaked open revealing Alexander.Alexander took a step backward as they locked eyes. He stood unblinking as he tried to process the image in front of him.It felt surreal but she was there. His heart thumped inside of him. It leaped for joy like a part of it was back."Sir—" Rosalie licked her lips and batted her lashes. That simple action made Alexander wish to hold her. He punched his hands to fight back every urge to hold her.He said to forget her and the persistent feeling. What was h
"Mr. Alex?" The Managing Director of the company pushed Alexander's office open causing both Rosalie and Alexander to turn to him."Yes Morris," Alexander's brows creased into a frown as the MD approached them. "Have you seen the news?" Morris questioned as he walked further to them."Good morning sir" Rosalie greeted when Morris kept his gaze on her. "Alexander, are you having an affair with your secretary now?"Rosalie stopped as she processed it. Secretary? Which secretary was that?"What do you mean Morris?" Alexander asked with a frown. He hoped it wasn't what he was thinking."Just check the news," the MD mumbled and Alexander scoffed. Of course it was what he thought.They were in the news; he was in the news with Rosalie, with her in his arms. Barely four days ago that she fainted, someone took a picture of her in his arms and it was stirring up reactions online."Morris, I think you should be more concerned about how that picture was taken because clearly, it wasn't in the da
Rosalie's POV"Yes" I answered mum as I laid on the bed. "That was the only condition and I accepted." "Oh God Rosie" she tugged on her hair and sighed. "I'm very scared. Did he say it's a business trip? Are you following him for business purpose?" Mum questioned again.Her face creased and her amber eyes laced with worry."I don't know" I answered honestly. No matter the amount of questions I asked Mr. Alexander, he only gave sketchy replies."You're following me to Italy" was his reply.Oh yeah, coupled with "you'll know when we get there"I didn't grasp why he needed me in Italy but I bet it's for business purposes. Why else will he need me?"I'm scared, if not because we need the money, I wouldn't allow you go Rosie, I feel so terrible."Hopelessness and emptiness filled my heart and I sighed despondently. A part of me trusted Mr. Alex. He had shown me kindness several times. I was sure he couldn't have a bad plan.What if the niceness was so you could fall into his trap?My subc
Alexander kept his gaze fixated on his secretary who fondled her hands as she approached him It took everything in him to resist the urge to chortle and tease her. She was about to knock, then wanted to leave.He saw everything. There was CCTV outside. He got it for protection but then it turned out useful."Ermm sir, I actually…I wanted to ask if—" Rosalie twirled her hair in her hands as she tried to search for a perfect excuse. It was embarrassing she wanted to see him then stopped."Come" Alexander ordered and she nodded. She averted her gaze everywhere except him as she trudged to the couch."Come here" Alexander pointed at the empty space beside him and her heart raced. It felt like it was jumping out of her ribcage.She swallowed hard trying to get control of her jelly legs and trudged to him. "Sir—" she sat but left a considerable distance between them which left Alexander amused.Every girl would jump at the opportunity to be close to him.But he loved it. He loved her shy n
Rosalie sniffed as she wore the necklace around her neck. She shut her eyes and kept it close. She took it on the trip because she needed to see it around her.It was unbelievable her mum left her father. She couldn't believe there was a chance she could meet her dad.But was he alive? Where was he?She sighed and shut her eyes as she trailed her hands on the necklace. She had one of his possessions and she loved it.The door creaked open and she whipped her head to the door. She stopped breathing and her lips went agape at the sight of Alexander.He was dressed in a brown t-shirt with his jacket on his arms. Her eyes traveled down and she melted at the sight of his tuxedo trouser. It fitted his stature perfectly.Alexander almost smiled as he watched her floored. His eyes roamed around her and he clicked his tongue delectably. She was clad in a long flowery gown that had slit to her mid thighs; that he got for her.She looked impeccably sophisticated."Are you ready?" He queried and
Rosalie batted her lashes as she tried to make a meaning out of her words.She was her boss' date? Was that why he never answered her question?But why did he take her as his date? Sophia was there, wasn't she?Despite her doubt, she felt important. He was an elegant man and taking her as his date, a sudden flare of joy bloomed inside of her."Oh my" the lady exclaimed and Rosalie turned to her. "I am Mia" Mia stretched her hands still wondering who Rosalie was. She thought he'd come with Sophia. Why didn't he?"Rosalie" Rosalie forced a smile and took Mia's hand. Mia's face was full of puzzle but all Rosalie figured out was contempt.Her insides churned as she wondered who Mia was. Was she some sort of her boss' ex-girlfriend?"I'll just wait here for Alex" Mia mumbled seeing Alexander didn't reply to her text."Hmm" Rosalie forced a hum and averted her gaze back at the ballet dancers. No matter how hard she tried, her brain couldn't register their performance any longer.She wonder
Rosalie gulped nervously as she tried to keep up with Alexander's pace. His grip on her was tight as he led the way through the crowd.They walked different hallways until she saw the parking lot. Alexander's grip on her tightened the more as they walked."Sir" she released a whimper and Alexander stopped at once. He turned to her and batted his lids.What did he just do? He whipped his head back and Williams was staring back at them. Did he follow them outside?"I—" Rosalie bit on her lips and bent down to her legs. She rubbed on her ankle while Alexander examined her legs. "Are you hurt?" He asked and she stood straight at once.She shook her head as she stared at him. Why did he come grab her like that? When Alexander averted his gaze, she did too and her eyes rested on Williams."Alex" Williams called when he reached them. "Is there a problem?"Alexander scoffed. "No, there isn't," he replied in a tight voice. He couldn't believe Rosalie didn't miss him. He expected her to be lon
Alexander pulled her to himself as he grabbed her face. She ducked her head backwards as his cold tongue peppered her skin with kisses.She gripped his shirt tighter and that only drove him crazy. He grabbed her neck to protect her neck against the car."You're pretty" he held her firmer and without warning, his lips tangled with hers in a passionate kiss.His hand continued its work moving up to her thighs and the whimpers that escaped her lips muffled into their locked mouth.He grabbed her thighs to meet his poking urge. His hands made their way into her dress and within minutes, his hands met with her wet folds.Rosalie released a soft gasp and broke the kiss at the intrusion. She leaned back to give him more access and Alexander tightened his hold around her back to protect her."Be careful" he whispered and again their eyes locked.Rosalie's inside fluttered as she gazed into the sterling gray eyes that accentuated the desires his body held. His eyes had turned scarlet and as sh
