"F*ck". He breathed and cursed. "Who the hell was that lady, and why couldn't I just find her?". Alexander questioned himself before directing the strong liquor into his mouth.
Alexander couldn't believe himself at all. Normally, he isn't the type of person to look back at a lady after sleeping with her once, but the lady of six years ago was somehow weird to him.He felt whole with her in bed. But what made Alexander hate himself, he didn't quite remember what happened that night because he was really drunk (Not completely drunk, he was somehow also drugged).He placed his left palm on his forehead, and also shut his eyes. He could still recall the sweet scent she possessed in her body.That sweet scent totally consumed him that night, making him drown with desires to have her all to himself."What's even wrong with me?. I, Alexander, I'm thinking about a lady?". His mood was back to normal. "I really must be crazy". He muttered.."Mommy, I had a lot of fun talking to grandma today". Tessa said with a smiling expression."Really?. That's great then". Mina was satisfied. "Are you sure that you still don't want me to carry you?". Mina asked. This is exactly the third time Tessa has rejected her offer."Of course not. I can walk on my own". Tessa assured her. "I don't want my mommy to stress herself again, just like big brother had said before". Tessa excitedly thought, because for once in a while, she wasn't behaving like a little spoiled child."Fine, if you say so then". Mina added. She smiled when she saw how Tyler and Taylor let Tessa walk in the centre of them, not only that, they both held her hands, walking side by side. "How cute". Mina muttered.They eventually arrived at the bus station and entered a bus. When they arrived home, with the little change she still had left, Mina made use of it to prepare meals for all of them."Here you go….". She placed the bowls of noodles on the table before helping her babies sit on the chair. "Look here, Tyler, don't be mad at me, but I think I have to break my promise I made to you". She sighed deeply before continuing. "I'm running out of cash, it's best that I find a job as soon as possible, so I'd be able to sustain you guys"."But…. But"."No but, Tyler. It's my duty and responsibility to look after you guys. Don't complain please, I'm going to be alright. In fact, I'm alright". Mina assured him."Yeah I'm aware, mommy. But, I did tell you not to waste money on that flight, but you didn't listen to me and still went ahead to". Tyler was sad. He didn't exactly understand the reason why his mommy suddenly decided that they come to Las Vegas. If it was because of her (Mina) intention for them to see their grandma, he doesn't have anything more to say."He just wouldn't get me, would he?. I'm tired of running away from my unfortunate past". Mina thought to herself. "Don't worry, after I get myself a job, I'm going to listen to your words, okay?". Mina said to him."Hmm"."Now, eat your food already, it's getting cold". Mina said to Tyler."Aren't you also going to eat, mommy?". Tyler questioned.Taylor and Tessa were both carried away by the delicious noodles, so they didn't say a word and focused on their food."Oh me?. Don't worry about me. I already had mine in the kitchen"."You're lying again, aren't you, mommy?". Tyler isn't pleased. His mommy was always used to doing this. She didn't eat anything until she was sure that they already had enough to eat. "You can eat with me, I don't mind". When Taylor and Tessa heard what Tyler said, they stared at their bowls and saw that they had already finished theirs without considering sharing it with their mommy."No really…. It's okay". Mina tried her best to refuse him, but Tyler was stubborn this time around to let go. In the end, she ate his food with him."Are you sure you're not still hungry?". Mina asked Tyler again as she put him to bed. (Taylor and Tessa were already both asleep)."I'm really fine mommy, you don't have to worry at all about me".Seeing that Tyler admitted he was fine, she finally left the room."Mommy is really troublesome like a kid". He thought to himself before his stomach actually groaned because of hunger.He didn't eat to his full because he had to share with Mina. But he cared less, he couldn't possibly let his mommy also sleep with an empty stomach. He can't even imagine that to ever happen."I love you, mommy". Tyler muttered before going to sleep..It was the next morning, and Mina was already dressed in her best outfit."I must get a job as soon as possible". Mina encouraged herself once more, before coming out of her room."Eh…. When did you guys get up from bed?". She asked immediately when she saw Tyler, Taylor and Tessa standing in front of her room door."We woke up early to wish you best of luck, mommy. Don't be so surprised when you get a better job today". Tessa excitedly said to her mommy."Mmm. That's really sweet of you guys". Mina admitted. "But I was still going to wake you guys up after preparing your meal. I can't possibly just leave you guys like that, you know?"."In that case, you cook fast and run off. I have a really good feeling that you're going to get an awesome job today". Taylor assured Mina."Yeah, my young bosses!". Mina said with a smile before hurrying to the kitchen."My kids are really the best…. But they should already know I won't get a better job since I didn't even get the opportunity to get admission into the university. Wait…. Should I just teach karate?. Tsk, that's the only thing I'm really good at". Mina even laughed at herself upon her thought. "Teaching karate?. That's really hilarious. I only learnt it in the first place so I'd be able to defend myself and my kids from enemies"."I'm finally done". She muttered to herself before arranging the items inside the kitchen. "Are you done now, mommy?". Tyler asked her immediately when he saw she came out of the kitchen. "Yeah baby, and it's time for me to leave. Are you sure you all can stay by yourself? You know, I'm still really worried". Mina asked again even though she has many times before. She has no one to take care of her triplets for her, and she doesn't trust anyone. But at the same time, she can't help stop worrying about them being alone in the apartment. "We're going to be fine mommy as long as there's food already in the house". Tessa assured her. She was even the one to escort Mina out of the house. "You're really sure you're going to be alright?". Mina was still hesitant to leave just yet. "Of course, mommy". They all replied to her quickly since she was still wasting time. Mina sighed deeply and said. "Fine then, don't leave the house please sweeties. And the door, make sure to lock it from
Mina remained quiet for a while. She didn't know how to reply to Tyler's sudden question which came to her unexpectedly. "Why did you suddenly ask such a thing?. You don't need to know, ok?". Mina simply said. She let Tessa down from her arms."But….".Tyler tried to say something but Mina cut him off."I'm sure you guys are hungry by now?. Don't worry, let me go cook something for us to eat". She assured them before leaving for the kitchen. "I'm sorry, baby. But this question you asked, even I don't know the answer at all". She thought. "Big brother, Tyler…. I thought we all agreed not to ask mommy about this until she's willing to tell us by herself?". Tessa questioned. She was taken aback the moment she heard Tyler asked their mommy. Even though she was also curious to know about their father, she still didn't fail to notice how pale their mommy's face instantly turned to. "I'm sorry, I really got curious for a while". Tyler admitted. He went ahead to sit down on the sofa
Even though there was still 25 minutes extra for her when she left the apartment, the bus seemed to arrive at the bus stop a little late. So she arrived at the company at exactly 7:57am. "I can still make it on time. Nothing is impossible!". She encouraged herself before running at full speed. Those who saw her right now thought that she was crazy, including the security guards who were close to stopping her. But when they saw her ID she wore on her neck, they let her pass through. "I made it!. Yes, yes, yes!". She thought to herself before rushing to catch the elevator. Mina noticed that the doors of the elevator were about to close, and not only that, she saw her co-workers shaking their heads at her. But since she didn't understand what they were trying to tell her, she waved them all off. In no time, she threw herself inside the elevator before it completely shut. "Did you see what just happened?". One of the employees, who happens to be a female, asked her colleagues. A
"I got carried away, Boss. I'm on it!". Mark assured Alexander before leaving his office. "Just what have I done?. After this, I'm sure I'd start searching for another PA for him". Mark pitied himself. He had no choice but to do as Alexander had ordered him to. And at this rate, he was sure Mina won't be able to take this and quit. This isn't the right time to work fully as Alexander's PA. He planned to train her for a week extra before introducing her to him. But he never thought that someone like Alexander would notice her presence this soon when he ghosted all his previous PA."Could he be interested in her because she's really pretty?". He thought to himself for a while. But when he remembered who Alexander was, he even had to spank his head hard because of his mistaken assumption. Alexander is the dream of every lady (That includes super models!), so with no doubt, he was sure that Mina would be definitely drawn to his handsome face and masculine stature, instead of the oth
"What's there to be rude about when giving someone instructions?". She thought. "But this is weird, it's as if I'm seeing…."."What is weird?". Alexander asked. He couldn't seem to figure out what's running inside her little mind. "Nothing". She replied immediately when she realised another mistake.She forgot to say the other words in her mind."This little bunny isn't really aware of who I am. Interesting". He placed his fingers below his chin, upon his thought. "I want you to arrange all my schedule for the week, and it should be submitted before 12pm". Alexander said. Mina was about to say something when he permitted her to leave. Seeing that he wasn't ready to listen to what she wanted to say, she left."I haven't had fun in a while". Alexander said.Somehow, even though he felt that this was really strange to him, he feels a little bit comfortable with Mina around him compared to the other employees, he was displeased when around them, no doubt."Where do I even begin from?.
"I definitely told you this. Look now, we're lost". Tyler was the one to complain. When their mommy left the house, it took Tessa a great amount of time convincing them, before Tyler and Taylor agreed to her suggestion. But the problem was that, when they came out of the house to buy candies, they forgot their way back home because Las Vegas was still really new to them. And most especially, they have only walked some parts of the City, but with the assistant of their mommy. "Calm down, we'd figure this out in no time. And, you guys should not overreact". Tessa said. "Why?". Taylor was the one to ask. "Don't be dumb. If we look like we're lost, don't you know that someone might kidnap us?". Taylor and Tyler protected Tessa after hearing what she just said. "Don't make it obvious, big brothers". She slightly slapped her forehead when she said. "But, what are we going to do now?. I don't want mommy to be scared when she arrives back home and doesn't see us. That'd really hurt he
"I…. I mean…. I'd do that right now!". She collected the wrist watch and the key from the table before running off, after excusing herself. "That was really something". She said, "I was this close to losing my job". She added. "What job?". Mina sighed deeply and said. "Please, would you all stop scaring me off like this?. I'm afraid I don't have a strong enough heart to handle it". She was being straight with her words when she told Cindy. All her colleagues just seem to be butting in her business. "Take, I just wanted to give this to you". Cindy passed over the leather she was holding to Mina, who collected it. "You didn't have the opportunity to come for breakfast, or even lunch. So I brought this from the cafeteria for you". "You could eat it here". Cindy added. "That's really sweet of you. Thanks". Mina greeted her before going ahead to leave the leather on her table.It was now that she actually remembered she hadn't eaten anything all day. Her face was pale and her eyes
She couldn't get up and only stared at the Mafia that stared at her with hidden intentions she knew not about. When she saw Alexander getting closer to her, she crawled backwards, not caring at all that she was ruining the trouser she wore in the process. "Are you scared of me, little bunny?". He asked even though it was clear to him. Mina didn't say anything and still continued to watch him. It was as if she lost her voice to speak. "He's a cold blooded Mafia. I bet he had killed a lot of people, and…. And, I can't believe I fall into this kind of trap. If only I had known, I wouldn't have accepted the job offer in the first place. I felt it was really odd at first, but too bad I got carried away". She thought, since she couldn't say anything. "You're asking if I'm scared, seriously, who wouldn't be?". She thought. "I see you're really scared of me". Alexander wasn't pleased, and Mina could notice that because his facial expression changed. He looked as if he was angry, and a
