"Thank you for joining us. I promise you guys that you'll have a lot of fun. Alex has a great sense of humor, he has been cracking me up. I promise, you won't regret joining us." Sophia said enthusiastically.Victor and Alex sat together across from Cassandra and Sophia. Victor felt a certain kind of way sitting with his enemy and boss. He doesn't even know how to behave around him. At this point, most of the talking was done by Sophia and Sophia didn't mind."I'll start with the introduction. Cas meet my friend Alexander Sterling." Sophia gestured towards Alex. "Can you believe that he's our new boss?" Sophia added."Yes. We already met yesterday at the function." Cassandra replied in a dull tone not looking excited or interested at all.Sophia didn't even notice her nonchalant behavior. She kept on going, "Right! I forgot that your company was among the shortlisted Companies. I'm sorry that you couldn't get the contract" Sophia made a cute puppy face."It's okay. I'm just happy that

It was the next day and all the representatives of different companies were present at the C-Square Associates Limited. They were all sitting in the conference room waiting for Alex.Cassandra sat close to her father. Her friends could not make it because the invitation was solely for the stakeholders. After the way the notification entered their phones the previous day, Cassandra can't seem to shake off the feeling that this meeting is being held because of her family.Her father Marcus has been trying his best to make her calm down but to no avail. She has been fidgeting in her seat since she arrived. She was finding it difficult to sit still.Sophia can be seen in the room too with her father Alessandro McLean. Alessandro had no care in the world with the way he was balanced waiting for the boss. Nothing destabilized him. Or rather he never lets something destabilise him.A few minutes later, Alex walks into the room looking as good as always. His presence demanded everyone's atte

The nurses immediately wheeled Chris with the stretcher into the Intensive Care Unit. Most of the guests drove behind Alex's car. They were all in the hospital waiting room impatiently waiting for the doctor to come out and update them on the latest development.Alex can be seen in a corner looking very dishevelled and exhausted. He is sitting on the bare floor, his legs folded and his hands on his head. He looked super helpless and lost at this point.He was still saying his silent prayer begging the Almighty to revive this man who has shown him nothing but so much love.As he was praying, someone sat down on the floor beside him. He didn't need to look up to know that it was Sophia. They both sat there silently and meditating. To Alex, Sophia's presence was all he needed at this point. They meditated in the serenity of their silence.They sat there for long minutes without breaking the silence. At some point, Sophia held his shoulders and rubbed promises on them. That was all she co

Twenty-four hours later, Alex got a phone call from the police that the culprit had been found and apprehended. Alex quickly rushed to the police station to see who it was that wanted to kill the untouchable Christopher Columbus. On his way to the police station, he called Sophia and filled her up with the latest developments and she said she was on her way too.A few minutes later, Alex arrived at the police station. He walked up to the counter and introduced himself. The policeman at the counter directed him to the D.P.O's office. On reaching there he knocked and was asked to come in and was ushered to a seat."I heard that the criminal has been found. Please can I see the person?" Alex asked the D.P.O."Of course you can see him but first of all, I need you to write an official statement concerning what happened two nights ago. Since Christopher Columbus is your father, I think you're the only one in the best position to do this. We can't just allow you access to a prisoner without

After that wink, Samantha gave Alex, she began discreetly flirting with him. But Alex ignored all the green lights she was throwing his way. He was still very much concerned about the way Sophia was behaving.When Alex saw that Sophia was alone again, he decided to try his luck again. He approaches Sophia for the third time tonight, and yet again she ignores him. Alex was beginning to get frustrated.Now Alex was sitting alone. He sat at the dining table sipping his wine when Samantha approached him. "Hi Alex, I've been trying to get your attention all night but to no avail." She calmly sat on the seat beside him."I'm sorry about that. I have a lot on my mind." Alex said absentmindedly.Samantha followed the direction of his eyes to see him looking at Sophia, "Is she your girlfriend? Trouble in paradise?" Alex noticed the way Samantha had been coming unto him too strongly but he ignored it chalking it down to her being bored or something like that."I suggest that you mind your busi
