“Really? You like it?” Kyle teased him.
“It’s okay.” Rex said, rubbing the tiny stubble under his jaw. He has no plan of letting his emotions out. The first comment was a mistake and should not have left his lips, but there is a way to cover up.
“It’s a good thing you thought they are fine else there might be a war.” Jerry gave Rex a ghost smile.
“So cherry, it’s your turn. What do you think, do you like it?” Kyle asked her.
“I can swear if I wanted to, but I’d say I prefer the contact lens to the glasses, they are much comfortable like you said.”
“I prefer the glasses.” Rex said and they all stare at him.
“Why?” Kyle and Cherry asked.
“She looks better in them, that's one. Two, it’s her first time using contact lenses, you are sure she can be hygienic when using them? Remember they are worn over the eyes. A little bacteria can make you blind for life, and likewise, she would need them o
On their way to the range rover parked a few meters from the elevators, Cherry spots Susanna marching violently towards them. Her presence meant trouble and trouble is not what Cherry was ready for after being hospitalized. Pure fury scrunched up Susanna’s face while she marched like a legion towards the woman and young girl. “You slut, stay away from Rex! Didn’t I warn you!” Susanna spat at Cherry. “What did I do now?” Cherry mimicked Susanna’s gesture and rolled her eyes to make it look funny, hell! She didn’t know this woman came for war. She is worse than a serpent, dangerous than poison sometimes can be referred to as the witch of the cardinals. “Don’t try to pretend.” She points a manicured finger at Cherry. “I know what you are up to, and you are trying to get Rex all to yourself. I see it! I see it clearly!” She rants like a madwoman. “I am not trying to steal anyone from anyone!” Cherry yelled back. “Liar! I am going to stop you! I wo
The next day… “Mr Angelo here is today’s paper.” Taylor placed a freshly printed newspaper on the kitchen island for her boss to read. It was his usual morning routine, coffee and papers, in addition, some cookies or bread might do. “Hmm.” Rex hummed with the cup of coffee in his mouth and a slice of bread in the other. Rex ate the bread and dusted the crumbs neatly on the plate then he placed the cup on the island. He then picked up the paper, reading the headlines first. He does this to know if the papers got some spooky news about him or the G-Stark company before digesting any other news. Rex didn’t get his spooky news because something else was already trending. !!!K.O: SUPER PUNCH. Susanna Tyler knocked out by an unknown worker of the G-Stark enterprise. Details on page six.!!! That got Rex's attention because it had something to do with his company and one employee he might consider firing toda
After pacing restlessly in his office like a lost disturbed soul, Rex finally decides to push down his ego for the meantime so he could apologize to Cherry. “Darn it fool what have you done?.” He scolds his demon, hating the fact it controlled him and hurt Cherry. “She’ll never forgive me.” Right there Rex admits Cherry was changing him into someone better, and the little mistakes done by her do keep him preoccupied and happy instead of always angry and offended at everything, it was his ego causing the main chaos in his life. Her presence has taken away the constant trauma affecting his everyday life, and the least he did was ruin her. BAD REX!. Rex was outraged with himself but majorly confused, why would a poor girl like Cherry entertain him and not Susanna? He walked out of his office, nervously heading to the bathroom at the far corner of the hall where he thinks Cherry was hiding. Rex twisted the handle to open but it didn’t budge, he tried again rampi
“Maria, how dare you accuse me? I am here suffering and you are defending her. Who do you know first?” “I don’t believe you. You are always the reason ladies get hurt.” Maria reminded him. “That’s impossible Maria, do you think I would crack my nuts on purpose? This is my vital part as a man, it's no joke!” He argues. “Do you want me to make a list for you?” She confronted with a daring step edged to his desk. “Do not start this Mia, I don’t have time.” Rex warns while he nursed his lower part with an ice pack. “Well, I do. Let me recall… from Tracy to Sam, to Raven, then Camilla, Love, Brianna, Sasha, and lastly, Susanna the bitch from the west coasts. Damn, I’ve always hated that sly Grinch.” Maria made a disgusted face clearly, she hates Susie's guts more than any living soul. "I never hurt Susie and you know it." Rex interrupted. "Yeah, I know- that's why I want to hurt her myself. But-- Cherry did the perfect job I hadn’t
“She will come back, I know she will. She wants money and I promised to give her that. Isn’t it the reason she works for me and I pay her as discussed, right?” Rex rants uneasily to himself while taking a short break from a meeting. He was starting to go insane because Cherry had been absent for a few days. Rex lost his appetite and insomnia began to kick in gradually, he was the worse version of his usual self even Maria couldn’t recognize him with eye bags coating his facial and his unkempt hair sticking out everywhere. Rex kept on hoping and holding on to his luck day after day. He constantly sits in front of his laptop watching CCTV live footage from the building. Minutes turned to hours and hours turned to days and Cherry was still yet to show up for work it was then Rex knew he really messed things up with Cherry and she wasn’t coming back. “She’s not coming.” He tells himself. Because of the state depression in his life, Rex switched from strong coffee
At a restaurant in So-Ho… “Here is your bill sir.” Cherry told the two customers who ordered a bottle of champagne. The older man was busy checking her out while the younger man had his focus entirely on his phone without a care if she was talking to them. Not the first time people like them would treat her in such a manner, always seeing her as a toy or an object to admire shamelessly. Poor thing they say. Poor thing they pity. ‘bastards they all are!’ Cherry ignored the older man perverted gaze and placed the bill on the table for either of them to respond respectively. “Your bill sir.” She spoke to the snobbish man still focused on his phone. He looked up from his phone eyeing Cherry from top to bottom, sizing her assets before coming with a rude reply. “What?” He asked getting annoyed because she interrupted his moment. “Your bill sir.” She repeats again ignoring his angered side. “Is that why you were disturbing
“You piece of trash I am talking to you!” Ann screams in fury at Cherry. “Mind your business Annie, would ya.” A guy told Ann which abruptly shuts her up. He prevented the boiling receptionist from chasing after Cherry which made Cherry grateful to him. The elevator ride to the thirteenth floor felt like a long journey through the desert, she waited impatiently for the elevator to reach the thirteenth floor, soon it reached Rex’s floor and opened slowly. Cherry wasted no time and dashed out running straight into Rex’s office without knocking. Thinking about seeing an injured Rex or a dying Rex she was surprised by what mistakenly appears in front of her eyes. Rex just came out of his private closet “SHIRTLESS!” his fine abs standing out outside those casual clothes he always wears and his toned skin glowed beautifully like the sun. A drool nearly escaped Cherry’s lips as she digested his mouth-watering features. His back was turned to her so he didn’t know sh
“It worked!” Rex exclaimed in excitement. How did something so compromising end up being the best day of his life. “I am so speechless, I can’t believe it actually worked.” Rex blabbered in a weird way that puts Maria off. “I told you it would work, didn’t I? She is as soft as a pillow.” Maria spoke softly and helped herself with a bottle of yogurt from the freezer. “Fluffy as pancakes… just as I-” Rex wanted to praise Cherry’s beauty but Maria stopped him before he’d gone too far. “Enough- just enough, I don’t need to listen to the endearments reserved for Cherry. No hard feelings.” She says with an irritated look scrunching her face. Maria and Rex were at his first mansion eating pepperoni pizza after work. They decided to have a mini celebration at the mansion because Cherry listened to him and came back to work despite her, having a good chance to refuse and never look back. This hopefully will give Rex another shot to make up for his mistakes and
