“Clara, this is not what it seems like.” Alex immediately pushed Jane away, stood, and tried to vindicate himself from the situation he was in.“Young master Alex, are you denying me now? Didn’t you say she didn’t matter and that you were going to divorce her?”Clara’s eyes widened the moment she heard that from Jane. She remembered the night the lady came to the house, she and Alex never got to talk about it.He never wanted to talk so she didn’t confront him, also, the night he had slept off with his phone, she had seen her message notification.Clara never went through the message because she trusted Alex, she never knew Alex had blocked Jane too.But here was he, promising another lady that he was going to divorce her. When she entered, she kind of expected a miracle to happen and for Alex to say something.Rather Alex keeps acting guilty, he seemed to have nothing to say and he wasn’t even restricting Jane from talking.Henry, who had asked a rhetorical question, moved closer to
Alex gulped hearing Clara’s reply. He didn’t expect Clara to give that answer.But it was understandable, she was angry. The reply she gave was even better than saying that they were in a contract marriage. Nobody knows about that.“Oh, I see.” Jane uttered again, though Clara’s words were getting her annoyed, she didn’t show it. Clara was making it hard for her to mock her.“Nice meeting you, Clara.” Jane, who had nothing to say again, replied.“You too, I will take my leave now.” Clara replied.Knowing she didn’t screw up kind of gave her joy and she didn’t regret the reply she had just given.To hell with her being delusional that Alex loves her. All these were fake.As she turned to make her exit, she made sure to maintain eye contact with Alex during her turn. She stared at him for a very long time, until she began working towards the door.“Hey wait.” Henry screamed at her. He came all the way for their meeting and didn’t expect things to turn out like this.“Hey man, what are w
After succeeding in calling for help. Alex’s secretary and a few people took him to the clinic.He was to receive first aid treatment and also treated his wound.All through that period, his secretary ran up and down. Making sure that all was well and that not a lot of people were aware of his wound.She had always loved Alex. But she knew Alex would never look her way, so she just decided to love him from afar only.“Sir, don’t worry, you will be fine. Do you still feel pain?” The secretary asked.Alex gulped, he had almost rolled his eyes but he wouldn’t at least hurt the feelings of someone who tried to take care of him.Though the wound was minor and he didn’t even care about that. She made it seem like it’s a big deal.“I’m okay.” He said, leaving now was really going to be rude. So he had set a timer in his mind, once it was ten minutes, he would leave this place and go search for Clara.He doesn’t know how to explain this to her, but he needs to find her first. Things like this
Alex stood there watching Henry comfort his wife. He didn’t dare have the courage to show up. The scene had made him very emotional also.So he rather watches her from a distance. He would need to come up with something real quick. Be it at home or now.However he intended to do it, one thing was certain, he wasn’t going to let them sleep without sorting out things.As he was calculating and strategically, Henry caught a glimpse of him. Alex didn’t even notice that until he looked in that direction again.Because Clara was backing Alex, she wouldn’t be able to see him, only Henry can.So after their eyes met, Henry did a signal to Alex that he gaht this. Clara was only mad at the moment and would calm down later.Having trust in Henry, Alex returned the signal. He needed to head back to the office right now. Henry was not a bad person at all, so he believed in him.Fortunately, the moment Alex stepped out, Clara noticed Henry had been looking in a particular direction.“Is someone her
When Henry got to Alex's mansion. He turned to find Clara asleep. Even though the ride was silent, he never imagined that she was sleeping.He raised his hands to tap her, but hung it in the air when he observed her side view. She was leaning backwards, supporting herself with the seatbelt.This made it easier for him to observe her side view. He found himself adjusting her hair.The thought of Clara meant to be his girlfriend got him angry. So he shook that off and woke her up.“Clara, we are here.”Clara opened one of her eyes, before opening the other. How the hell did she sleep off here?Then she found out that had arrived. Placing her hand on her forehead, she let out the “oh.” Sigh.“Thanks,” She replied, loosening the seat belt, without even looking at Henry who had been looking at her, she opened the car door.“Bye.” But Henry didn’t start off the car, he stayed and watched until she was invincible, then he veered the engine and left.After Jane left the office premises in a
“CEO Alex, are you there?” The officer asked again.But Alex was in his feelings, a lot had happened today already.“It’s okay. Keep an eye to know if anyone shows up.”The moment Alex replied that, he ended the call. He didn’t want to hear any other word from the DPO.He had just checked the time again, he never knew that hugely jad spent that much on call. It was already closing time.Now, with the news he had just heard, Alex had no idea if he was still eager, if the young man had made it alive and confessed, he was sure Clara would no longer be angry at him.Even the secretary was scared to approach him again because of what happened the last time, so she just packed her desk and left.Like planned, Alex went to the flower store. Naturally, he would have a sense of direction in whatever he wanted to pick, but with his confused state, he could only ask for help.“Oh my! Young master Alex, I can’t believe you are the one here.” The funny store owner, who appeared quite old, praised
The traffic on his way back was something Alex couldn’t just place. There was hardly traffic in the streets except during rainy days, which was not the case right now.It seemed like the universe was playing some sort of game with him. They just wanted to delay him from meeting his wife.Waiting patiently in the slow moving line, Alex eventually got home.It was just about a few minutes past seven at night. He carried the bouquet and headed inside. He would explain, profess his love, and even ask her to go out on a date with him that night.Unfortunately, Clara was in her room asleep. After Henry had told her to wait on Alex, she waited for him since closing time and he wasn’t back.Does he not feel anything? Wouldn’t he come explain to her? She misses him so much and at this point, she wants him home and doesn't care if she was the one to apologise.But as each hour passed, Clara realised that Henry had only lied to her, Alex didn’t care and wasn’t coming home.She ate dinner alone,
Alex drove down to a bar close to his home. He had wanted to call a friend, but having a second thought, he decided to be alone.After all, friends might poison his mind and he might end up having a change of mind.The bartender had been standing there for a while, trying to get Alex’s attention. But Alex was too lost in thoughts.“Sir, what should we get for you?” The man said again.This time, Alex was done thinking, so he looked at the bartender.“Tequila.” He replied.The bartender who wondered what could be wrong with him, decided to drop a few words“Whatever the problem is, drink and forget your spirits. You can’t go wrong with a drink.”After saying that, he opened the bottle for him. Alex gave him a satisfying glare without a word.One could say he concurs with what the man had just said.So he began drinking, all through this while, he had been looking at his phone.A miracle might happen and Clara might text him. Maybe she had woken up and seen the flower, and also probabl
