"Sofia? again? we are still on that?" Axel appeared calm as he questioned his father, while his insides were in utter rage. Taking a heave of sigh, Vince said out loud "I don't seem to understand why you don't like Sofia, she is beautiful, brilliant, talented, has everything a man would want in a woman, and she also comes from a wealthy family which is on par to yours, you deserve someone with the same status as yours, not the lady you had brought before who is beyond lower than you in every aspect, and she is even an actress, women under the entertainment industry always have shady..." "Father!" Axel said out loud in anger, he didn't like what his father was uttering, had it been it was someone else that said something like this, Axel wouldn't waste time showing the person his or her right place. But this was his father. Vince became silent for a while, Axel pressed his palms tightly "I'm only saying this for you and your future, find a capable woman to stand by you..." "What the

"A young man?" Axel asked again, the calm face that he had pulled throughout the interview falling off. "Yes, boss" John answered. "Who is he?" Axel questioned as he made his way straight to the elevator, Marcel followed and they got into the elevator. "I'm not sure but when I checked his profile, he is an heir to one of the large companies in country B" Axel frowned. "His looks?" he asked again. Marcel became silent, not even making the slightest sound as the temperature in the elevator turned cold. If he wasn't careful, everything would be thrown down on him if his boss gets angry. "Black hair, tall, handsome" John explained cause he knew what his boss was talking about. "Prepare the private jet, we are going to Country B" Axel suddenly said, he hung up the call as the elevator made a ding sound and he walked out. Marcel's eyes widened in shock, this was the first time he was seeing this side of his boss. Marcel cracked his brain as they got into the office, he needed to find

COUNTRY A** Axel sat down in the meeting room alongside other executives of Imperial and Gold Fox as they discussed the upcoming end-of-year celebration. Axel had an air pod on the right side of his ear as he watched a video on his tablet, it was the video of the restaurant Mirabel went to, he stared at the screen for a long time while Marcel stood beside him. "My department and I, with the others who are holding the responsibility of preparing everything for the celebration concluded on an issue. We decided that rather than..." The man who was on his feet talking suddenly stopped with his gaze on their boss. Axel looked up "Why did you stop?" he asked, although he was watching something and his attention was divided, he was still listening to every single thing they were talking about from start. Seeing that their boss seemed to still be listening, the man continued "We concluded to have it at a hotel so that guests who would be coming far away would have a place to lodge" he ex

GOLD FOX*** Charlotte walked out of her manager's office with a pile of documents in her hands "Let me help you with that" she heard a voice say from nowhere, turning her head to the right she saw Ace standing there with a smile on his face. "Oh no no, thank you, there's no need for that," she said even though she was indeed looking for someone kind enough to help her with the heavy documents she was carrying, she was told to drop them off at the reception counter on the ground floor. "You sure?" Ace asked as he didn't move his gaze from her, her blonde hair was gluing to her neck skin as she was sweating, she must have been busy since. Before she could object again, to Charlotte's surprise, Ace took a step closer to her and picked up a pile of documents from her hands, leaving only a few. Charlotte stood there, mouth open as she forgot how to say thank you, he was so gentle. "Where are you taking it to?" Ace asked as he walked past her. Charlotte stood there, forgetting he aske

Charlotte momentarily became silent when she heard the voice scolding her and she didn't know how to explain. She has no excuse for coming late. Her gaze narrowed at Troy before she immediately bowed her head "I'm sorry, sir" she apologized but it appeared Troy was hell-bent on not letting it go easily. "There are others in here that you kept waiting for you," he said, and without looking up, Charlotte seethed her tongue. "I'm sorry everyone for keeping you all waiting for me" After she said that, Troy went on with the conversation he was having with the others. "So for Gold Fox's third anniversary which is scheduled to take place next month..." Charlotte looked up as she heard him continue his conversation, diverting the eyes from her. She glanced around the room in search of an empty seat but she didn't find any, the only one she saw was the one beside the head chair, where Troy was. She didn't know whether to go pick it up, but if she does that, then it would attract everyone t

It felt like a bucket of water was poured down Charlotte's body as she realized what she had just done, she tried to push Troy so he can drop her cause he was still carrying her, but he didn't budge, rather he peered his dark eyes into her soul "Stop" "Someone is outside," Charlotte said in a whisper as she noticed that he didn't even care about the consequences that might follow if people hear about this, was she the only one scared of the situation? "Let me go," she said in a whisper, seeing the state she was in, Troy dropped her, trapping her between his hands to the door. "How am I going to explain this, why did you come here? They would think we have been going this, oh heavens!" she cried as she ruffled her hair, something which Troy found cute as a smile marred his lips. He was about to open up and asked who it was but Charlotte was fast enough to stop him, by shushing him with her index finger on his lips. "If you say something, it would worsen the situation, cause why on
The Devil behind me Chapter 149
Charlotte drove her car into the hotel parking lot, after parking it at the right spot she came down from the car, only to receive a call once again. Without checking the caller ID this time around she angrily brought the phone to her ear "Father, I don't understand why you keep on calling me when I already told you I'll call when I'm less busy. I don't know what brought about the sudden change of mind that made you say you want me back home to complete the family, but I'm not that stupid to believe so easily after all you've done, not just to me, but also to mother while she was alive. People do not just change overnight, I don't believe the idea that it happens." she didn't stop to take a breath as she poured out all the emotions she was feeling into the call, hoping her message reaches him well. She was tired of him, tired of the type of family she grew up in, without her mother, rather with a woman who claims to care for her but still spouts rubbish even to her face. "Charlotte?

There was another lady with them, Axel's gaze lingered on her before he glanced at his mother and sister who were yet to notice his arrival as they were conversing. Reina who was listening to her daughter talk with a smile on her face looked up to see Axel walking in "Good evening, Mother" he greeted and she stood up. "Axel, I had no idea you were dropping by today," she said as she walked up to him. "Brother!" Blaire stood up also and so did Sofia who was with them for almost five hours now and was about to leave, before she saw him, her eyes sparkling as she saw the handsome fine man who stood just a few feet away from her, yet still appeared distant whenever she was close to having him.
