Chapter 6

ALEJANDRO gets his phone out of his pocket. He logged into his dummy account on social media. He created a disturbing post and made sure that Helena's image would be ruined. 

After he posted it, he threw away his cigarettes and got back to their office as if nothing happened. 

"Are you okay?" Jero asked him when he came back.

"Yeah," he sparingly said and opened his desktop. He tried to work on his layout again when Jero suddenly gasped. 

Alejandro glanced at Jero. 

"Have you seen this? Someone exposed Helena! And your secret relationship with her. Is this you, bro? You did this right?" Jero asked him. 

Alejandro shrugged. 

"No, I'm not," he answered without looking at Jero. 

Jero didn't say anything and he stopped bothering him. A sudden smirk showed on Alejandro's face. The show must go on and he's waiting for Helena to come to him.

IT WAS almost lunchtime when Jero invited Alejandro to eat at the canteen. Luckily, he's already done with his first layout so he decided to go with Jero. 

When they reached the canteen, they immediately ordered their food and sat at the corner after. And while eating their lunch, Alejandro's co-workers came one by one and he noticed that everyone was staring at him. 

"I felt something eerie vibes here," Jero suddenly exclaimed. Alejandro just shook his head and finished his food.

AFTER their lunch, they went back to their office and Jero was called by manager George. Jero then didn't stay longer at manager George's office because he came back right away. Jero was carrying a stacked pile of documents. 

"Manager George wanted me to disseminate these files and he told me that you should help me with this," Jero explained as he handed him half of the stack pile of files. 

"Sure. Let me handle this,"Alejandro said and stood up. 

He grabbed the files and headed to the other departments. Upon entering each department. Everyone was staring at him and started to murmur something. Others were even whispering at each other. However, Alejandro doesn't seem to care about their reaction toward him. He knows that they are talking about him and Helena. 

After Alejandro is done disseminating the files. He went back to his office but he stopped from going in because Helena appeared in front of him. 

"In my office! Now!" Helena said and she couldn't hide her rage at him. Alejandro just smirked and ignored Helena. He went inside and proceeded to his working desk. 

"Alejandro! Can't you hear me!? I said I want to talk to you in my office!" Helena said as she followed him. 

Alejandro didn't respond and still ignored Helena. His co-workers were looking at them intently and Helena started to feel embarrassed. 

"All of you! Leave!" Helena yelled and Alejandro's four co-workers stood up immediately and walked outside their office. 

"Why are you ignoring me!? Don't you remember that I am still your boss!" 

"You are not my boss. It's Mr. Chan," he answered. Helena's expression was astonished. 

"How dare you insult me like this! Why don't you just fucking move on!? I know you're the one who's responsible for spreading our pictures together! Stop ruining me Alejandro because you're not gonna win! Mark my words! You will pay for humiliating me!" 

Alejandro stood up. He's towering over Helena because he was taller than her. 

"Humiliating you!? Big word! You started this Helena! You're the one who's gonna pay for what you did to me! After all the bull shit you've done to me!? Do you easily think that I will just fucking move on and forget everything!? I invested all my love and effort in you, and yet you give me pain and a horrible relationship! You're such an awful person—no! Because you know what!? You're slut!" 

Helena suddenly slapped him.  

"You're gonna pay for this Alejandro! You were!" Helena swore to him while crying and left him right away.

Alejandro just looked at Helena walking away. He smirked and sat back on his swivel chair. He wasn't afraid anymore of Helena's threats. His love already turned to hatred and anger. He will never stop making her life let go that easily. Because the heartaches she left were giving him more wrath.

LATE afternoon when he was about to finish his model he was working on his desktop; Jero came to him hurriedly. 

"What's wrong with you? Your meeting ended so quickly?" Alejandro asked Jero, who was still not himself. He snapped at him. 

"Alejandro, bad news!" 

He leaned against his swivel chair. 

"What bad news are you talking about? Is it about me? Is everyone talking shit behind my back now? Tell me, I'm all ears to listen to their shit about me," Alejandro frankly asked. 

Jero shook his head and handed him a letter. His forehead wrinkled as he got the letter. He opened it and he was shocked to see his termination paper. He stood up and rushed immediately to Helena's office on the third floor. 

When Alejandro got there, he rushed inside and slammed the door behind him. 

"What the hell is this!?" Alejandro asked Helena right away, as he slammed the paper above her table. 

Helena evilly smiled at him. 

"I told you already Alejandro that you will pay for the mess you have done to me. I already warned you but you don't listen to me. And I think you already know what's the meaning of that paper, right?" Helena said with a tone of scarcity in her voice. 

"You overboard with your position! You don't have the right to fire me! You are not my boss!" 

"Oh! Speaking of that? Can't you see here, in the lower part? Mr. Chan, the CEO, approved my request to terminate your contract. So? Now that you're fired, you can never bother me anymore. So what are you waiting for? Leave! Now!" 

"You can't do this to me, Helena! You're so unfair!" 

"Me!? Unfair!? How can I be unfair!? You are the one who's being unfair here! You can't just accept the fact that I dump you! You can't accept the fact that I don't love you anymore! Now leave my office! I don't want to see your face anymore! Leave!" 

Helena walked towards him and pushed him outside of his office. Alejandro was about to grab her but Helena's bodyguard suddenly came. He stops himself from doing anything to Helena. 

"I'm not done with you, Helena! I'm not gonna let you control everything in here! I will talk to the CEO and I'm gonna make sure that your dream of living a wealthy life will be put in a trash bin! I swear! Damn you!" Alejandro said in a slurred voice as he tried to control his temper. 

Before his bodyguard interrupted them, Alejandro quickly stepped back and headed back to his office. But he decided to turn around and went straight to the elevator.
