Back in Northeast, at the villa where Albert and Alex grandfather lives. Alex grandfather had just gotten off the call with Alex. He sighed as he looked out the window.“Don’t worry too much about him. He is fine” Albert said. He was standing behind Jackson, Alex grandfather. Albert and Jackson are very good friends. Every since Alex father hired Albert, he had taken a liking to him and even made him oversee so companies which he did very well. Their relationship has since grown. They have similar interest in almost everything, loves the same movie, the same sport, the same shoes and every suit companies. They were literally twins but Albert would always respect Jackson even though he had complained countless times, stating that they were the same age and he should just see him as a friend but Albert wouldn’t listen.Albert was more than a friend to Jackson, he was his personal adviser, his personal assistance and sometimes his driver. They have built quite a relationship to be envio

Alex had woken up late that morning, after his late night a day before. His head banged as he woke up. The effect of the alcohol was just starting to kick in. He went into the bathroom and washed his face and head which relieved his headache. As he stared at himself in the bathroom mirror, he noticed the dark circle and eye bags beneath his eyes. He wasn’t a fan of late night so it definitely took a toll on him. He sighed and got ready for work.Spending longer than usual washing the hard smell of alcohol off his body in the bathroom. He finally steeped out, dried his body, applied lotion and walked to the closet to get some clothes. He settled on a blue jeans, white shirt and blue timberland shoes. He did his normal facial routine and left the room. Alex was concerned about his looks and he believed the three years bet had harsh effect on his skin.He went downstairs, immediately to the dining table. He was starving since he didn’t have a good dinner last night. The chef had luckily

Alex's phone buzzed next to the sink when he was in the middle of buttoning his shirt. He frowned as a message appeared on it, and he looked at it while holding his toothbrush in his mouth.It was a message from his grandpa "This is her picture,don’t be late. She is a treasure.""It wouldn't kill you to stop matchmaking like it's the 1980s," Alex murmured through foam, rolling his eyes throughout. Nevertheless, he tapped the picture open and immediately stopped using the brush.She looks absolutely stunning, he didn't anticipate that.He noticed how classy her almond-shaped eyes were just far enough away to give the impression that she is an athletes or she likes going to the Gym. A tortoiseshell pin was used to clip one side of her black hair, which was swept behind her ears. The fact that she was not grinning in the photo somehow enhanced its impact.Alex mumbled, "She looks like she'll file a lawsuit if I breathe wrong," after staring for a bit too long.He shook off the picture an

The soft beat of rain drumming against the glass drowned out the sound of a vintage alarm clock.7:32 a.m.Half sleeping, Alex moaned when the window light struck his face. Stiff from the couch, he rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly."Excellent," he whispered. "I have a 75 degrees back now." Stumbling into the bathroom, he stared at his mirror as he brushed his teeth and cleansed his face.Dark circles and bags were under his eyes, he looked like a victim of a hurricane.He blinked as he said, "Wow. What a view to start the day with"Quickly putting on pants, a basic shirt, and a navy jacket, he picked up the briefcase that always contained nothing much but a notepad, pens, and his favorite mug.He entered the Nebular Enterprise building at around 8:21.Isaac was waiting by the elevator when the receptionist greeted him. Isaac handed him a paper cup of coffee and said, "Good morning, sir." Alex took the statement and the coffee like it was a life-saving medicine and said, "You're a l

Alex had almost forgotten about Logan the next day as he was busy preparing to visit one of the 5 families' company, but just as he remembered he tried to get information from people he knew could have access to it, and it turns out the reason the engagement broke was because Logan was trying to launder money using Amara’s father company and it all became messy but they tried their best to keep it from the media and the public in general, On seeing this, he could now understand why her reaction were cold when they met “well this can wait for later” he said as he message Isaac to meet him at the parking so they can be on there way to the meeting.When someone smiled too broadly that early in the morning without a reason in particular, Alex never trusted them. Particularly not in a lobby that had a subtle hint of desperation.With his phone in hand and his legs crossed, he sat on a faux-leather couch and observed the silent flow of people entering SimonTech Logistics, one of the less gl
