Chapter 16 - chapter 16

when i got back into the room i had dozed off immediately, maybe it was because of the rain had gone down and the storm had stopped or because of the adrenaline that rushed through me because of that man, yawning i stretched my hands looking at the digital clock placed on the side table it was nine o'clock, i came down from my bed, it was time to start my day and continue my plans.

i was going to call Jake today and tell him to invest a pretty huge amount of money in his name into my tech company, to win biggest company of the year the company has to be the richest and the most popular company in the rank, but popularity really didn't matter among businessmen the only thing that mattered was the money, so it didn't matter whether the company was popular or not it just had to have the biggest stocks and i could do that i thought smiling mischievously.

walking into the shower i took my bath, coming out i took a black short flail gown, a pair of mini wedge and the designer bag i ordered, dressing up i recalled a certain someone was still supposed to be in my house, i frowned slightly i hope he's not still here. i was done dressing when there was a knock on the door "come in" a maid walked in, "good morning mistress breakfast is ready" the maid said with her head down, i wondered why these maids think looking up will get them a death sentence.

"okay, bring it her..." "im sorry to interrupt mistress but master alec suggested eating with him at the dining table" i paused with a raised eyebrows, he what?, that man is getting bolder each passing day. what in the world did he want from me, glancing at the maid standing by my door, her hands were wrapped together around each other, was she trembling my frown deepened, i could refuse and tell her to bring my meal or i could pass on breakfast but why do i feel like the next option will get me into another nagging problem, my mind went back to when he nagged about picking his calls, but then im going to a restaurant after seeing Jake i might as well just skip.

getting up from my bed i picked my bag "tell him i do not intend to have breakfast with him and i have somewhere to be urgently" i said, the maid bowed deeper "yes mistress" she said "you can go" i sent her off, sighing deeply i picked my car keys and walked out of the building to my car, i started it and drove out of the villa to continue my day.

"she said she has no intention of having breakfast with me huh?" alec said sitting on the dining table, a small smirk formed on his face he was getting more intrigued, but he did feel a pang of pain from the blatant rejection, the maid that relayed the message stood with her head down. the maid stood trembling, she feared she was going to loose her job, why did she have to be the one in the middle of this, she felt like crying "you're dismissed" alec said, the word rang into her ear like a death sentence and the damp broke, falling to the ground she started wailing "please don't f..fire me sir, i promise to do better please"

alec sat there baffled looking at the maid crying on the floor, what did she mean by fire her, he had no such power, not anymore "what do you mean fire you, did miss Millie threaten to fire you?" he asked, he wasn't concerned at all who adelia was firing but he didn't like the crying by his feet either "n..no, she didn't" the maid stuttered, making alec even more confused "then why are you crying about being fired" he asked

"you said i was dismissed" she explained, when she calmed down alec raised an eyebrow in realization, sighing he looked at her now he was truly considering firing her but he couldn't do that, something told him he wouldn't like adelia's reaction if she found out. sparing the maid one more glance he said "im not firing you, you can stop crying now" the sobbing finally subsided "t..thank you master alec" she made said wiping her tears, "just get up and leave" he instructed, making the maid quickly get up and scurry away, alec's eye followed her until she was out of the dining, he had finally lost his appetite, dropping his spoon, he picked his bag and walked out of the villa to where his car was packed.

packing it where adelia wont see it to make his lie more believable, his intention was to spend the night, and it was eventful indeed he chuckled starting the car he drove out of the compound to his office.
