The show begins and she stands at the back of the curtain. She hears the music turn on and it’s Shakira’s song, ‘hips don’t lie’ Alexia looks back at her friends and they laugh out, her shaky hands stop shaking and she stands up right. Her shoulders squared and her head, held up high and she thinks,“There’s no one out there. You are here to impress yourself only and yourself wants the best out of you. So, no disappointment, put that in your thick scull and entire body.”Finally, she takes a step forward and it is as if, the world has vanished in front of her. She walks to the end of the line and everything is totally silent. The people around her go silent as their eyes focus on her. Her eyes scan them for a second and stops on a tall figure seated at the far end of the hall, he has a spectacle on his face and he is staring directly in her way, with a blank expression. She rolls her eyes to the side and pouts her mouth slightly as she calls in her head,“Edward!! What is he doing her
The people start leaving the hall and Edward stands up as well. Chris holds his hand and pulls him down, he shows the stage by directing him with his eyes and Edward glares at him and questions,“What do you think you want to do? I am leaving, you can put other things in place and leave as well.”Chris nods his head and tilts it to his side and asks,“That includes, looting her to our company as well right?”Edward sighs and glances in the way of the stage before leaving the hall without looking back. Chris looks at his moving figure and he shakes his head with a smirk on his face and says,“Such arrogance, he should call himself the president of the nation. Even him, has some humbleness in his being unlike that bastard. Hmmm, I should go and see her before she vanishes out of my vicinity.”He stands up and puts his hands in his pockets. He walks into the dressing room and sees several ladies busily changing, he walks to one of them and asks,“Where is Alexia?”She looks on at him wit
He watches the taxi drive away and he looks back at his hand that she slapped away. He smirks and whisper’s to himself,“She has really become bold. How is it possible for a person to change in a few months that they only look similar in body?”The people around saw their interaction and because of the earlier show, she has become a hit gossip and so, why not add more if there’s? Chris looks around and sees the people busily texting away and he sighs and tuts then he says to himself,“I just became a topic of humiliation from the angel in a dress. I should be careful around her.”In the taxi, they are both staring at her while she has a blank face. She is looking straight forward and seated upright but her clenched fist contrast her expression. Christine holds her fist and sighs and then she says to her,“We know all that had happened to you in the few years that we’ve been apart. You shouldn’t be worried about explaining anything to us.”She looks in the way of her and shakes her hea
The sun shines right through the curtains and slaps her eyes, she winces and furrows her eyes and brows and she covers her eyes with the back of her hand. She moves up body slowly and stretches her body, she looks out in the way of sunlight and a smile appears on her face as she thinks,‘It’s a brand new day and I am finally going to get my own place. Or, should I go to Veronica’s place? No, she needs her own life.’She gets out of bed and goes to the washroom, she stands in front of the door and looks at the jacuzzi and the bathroom that looks like someone’s room and she tilts her head to the side and touches her cheek and says,“Or, should I just forget about leaving the palace? Well, it might be my destiny to fight for things for myself.”In thirty minutes, she is dressed in a white shirt and a trousers on her feet is a high heel and her hair is tied in a ponytail. She stands in front of the wall mirror and watches herself, she sighs and says to herself,“You only got the chance to
She shakes her head quickly but then, she stops and walks a step towards him, he pulls his head back into the car thinking that, she might be coming to him. He waits in a few seconds and realizes that she hasn’t come in his sight and he pulls his head out once again. He sees that she is standing by looking at her watch and tapping her foot loudly on the floor. He looks at her, his face flashed with a tiny smile and amusement, his cheeks dip in displaying dimples in both cheeks. He looks her up and down for a second and he gives in and asks,“Are you not joining us? I offered to drop you.”Alexia gives him a fake smile her cheeks raising and wrinkling under her eyes. She finally speaks to him,“ am sorry, but I don’t drive with strangers. I am trying to catch a taxi from here.”He pulls his head back in and Alexia sighs thinking he has finally given in but then, in a second, he pushes his head back out and says to her hearing,“It bothers me that a pretty lady like you will be late for
I stood by the counter several minutes but no one was appearing from the elevator as they promised. The receptionist keeps glancing at me in very few seconds and the people around were now staring without any sense of shame. I heard two ladies whispering to each to other,“I never thought, I would see her dressed so decently in real life. She looked like a pro on that stage.”Yes, I was thinking she dressed in a dress, every other day of her life, make on and hair let down to her body.” The second lady adds on, her eyes trying not to look directly at Alexia.“Okay, it’s enough, I think she hears what we are saying.” The first lady interferes.“And so, what? We are not ditching her or making up stories. Are we not just admiring her sense of beauty even in change of clothes?” the second lady argues with a serious expression.“You are right.” The first lady complies.Alexia removes her spectacle and smiles in their way, they nod their heads and quickly walk away. She sighs and look at th
It’s 9pm, and she drives and stops in front of the hotel, she looks up and she drops her head and looks at the watch on her hand. She looks up again and looks away and then she thinks,“This place only has bad memories and I hate been here. Should I just go back home?”She sighs and is about to drive away when she hears a knock on the car window. She winds it down and she sees him staring at her and then he asks, his eyebrows raised,“Aren’t you coming in? I just got here and I saw your car parked here but instead of coming out, you’ve and in there for a while. Is there a problem?”She shakes her head and gives him a tiny smile. She gets out and walks towards him. They both walk in together, they arrive at the room and they walk in, Alexia follows him in. She looks around and sees several men in different suits and she takes the last seat. Just as she is about to sit down, she sees a familiar face and her butts hang in the air for a few seconds. Her brows are raised and her hands are
Everyone look in the way of the two people, they are looking in each other’s eyes. Alexia sighs and looks away and says to them,“If we are done here, I would like to excuse myself.”Aaron sneers and thinks,“I wanted to bring her here, so she can know her place. But I don’t know if I did the right thing, she doesn’t seem to be bothered about the powerful atmosphere.”She looks at Aaron who is busily thinking and she takes her bag and moves away from the chair. She bows down slightly and walks out of the room. They move their heads closer to whisper behind her but she turns and catches them in the act and she says,“I will be leaving first. Nothing about me stays here. I don’t want to think about what you will say behind my back”They move away from each and she smiles and exist the room. Right behind the door, she leans on the wall and touches her chest, it rises and falls several times before a smile appears on her face and she whispers to herself,“I won, no one will look down on m
