Chapter - 32 Dressed in formals, Alex walked down the stairs, ready to go to work. He knew that Martha wasn't going to agree readily, but he had already messaged George for help. Though it was a risky move, with a greater possibility of George defecting to Martha's side, he had to take the risk. "Where do you think you are going?" When Martha saw Alex climbing down the stairs, dressed for work, her face twitched in annoyance, and she asked. "Mom, I am feeling alright. I feel stuffy confined to my room," Alex said, "And moreover, didn't you check it yourself earlier. They were nothing but superficial scratches." "I get it, but is it so necessary

Chapter - 34   When Alex walked through the door, the ladies were already gathered around whispering to each other. When they saw him enter, they were ready to bombard him with questions about the girl who stopped by a few minutes back. But before they could ask him anything about her, they were surprised to see band-aids on his face.   Seeing their cute little junior all banged up, all the ladies got agitated and gathered around him in no time.   "Who the hell dared to hit our newbie's face?" Elaine asked, all worked up.   "Tell us, we will scratch his hairs off," Hazel said, showing her nicely trimmed nails.   "Are you alright? Why didn't you take the day o

Chapter - 36 "Owww... Alex, why are you being so shy? Just tell us, even if nobody likes them, you will get to know what and where you are lacking," Elaine said playfully, as she encouraged Alex to speak up. "Yeah, and it's even possible that we might end up using them with some or no changes," Jennifer said, telling him of all the possibilities. "You listened to them, go on". Karen said as she gestured for him to go on. "I don't know. The more I think about it, the more I feel how naive these ideas...," Alex tried to build up the situation. "Boy, I will crack you like a glowstick if I don't hear the ideas the next time you open your mouth," Karen said, witho

Chapter - 38   "Don't be nervous, Alex. You are going to do just fine," Jennifer said when she saw Alex walking out of the meeting room, fidgeting his fingers.   "Yeah, as long as you don't infuriate our CEO," Ellaine said, walking towards them.   "Is she short-tempered?" Alex asked, getting worried about his presentation tomorrow.   "I won't go that far to call her short-tempered, but she is especially strict with the male employees, whatever measly number of them we have here," Ellaine told him.   "Was she dumped by an employee of hers?" Alex asked curiously. Alex had this innate interest in gossips. He was only a week old in this company, but he knew what

Chapter - 40 Having committed a crime punishable by prison time, Alex was driving his bike like crazy way past the speed limit. His heart was pounding so fast, not because he was being teased by a couple of nibbis, no… he won’t mind that right now, but because he was scared shitless right now. He was so afraid of the consequences that his heart might end up bursting out of his chest at any moment.
