Chapter: Chapter FiveThe last thing Bella thought about, the moment she woke up, the next morning, was that she would get a lot of stares that day. from a lot of people too. She noticed people staring at the bus. She took out her phone and used it as a mirror. Her hair was in a high ponytail and her lipstick was not out of place. Was it her outfit she thought? She was wearing a black pencil skirt and an ash colored shirt. In her head, she looked exactly like everyone who worked in the cooperate field. The shares did not stop either as she walked to the office. What was going on? She wondered. At the office it was the worst. They were staring, whispering and pointing. At this point she was going crazy. She got into the bathroom and casually called her friend Becky.“Babes how did I look before leaving the house this morning?” she asked.“You looked splendid, just like every day” she said then suddenly she gasped. “What Becky? Spill I heard that” Bella threatened her friend jokily. “I sent you something”

Chapter: Chapter FourBella’s chest rose and fell. At this point she was hyperventilating. What was he doing in his office tis late? Alex was always the first to leave the office. She didn’t know what would happen next. Was her job at risk if she disobeyed? She walked slowly towards him. She had sweat dripped down her palms and her heart raced.“Sir” she muttered. Alex smiled. “Mr. Kendrick” she began. Oh it was Mr. Kendrick now. Alex thought“The other day you called me Alex” he rasped.“I am sorry sir” she said.“Why are you here?” Alex asked.“I had some work to finish” Bella said. Alex patted the seat beside him. “Come “he said. Bella looked at the seat and back at Alex. She walked slowly and sat and the end of the seat.“I haven’t been seeing you lately” he said.“It was just work” Bella replied. “Are you sure?” he asked and she nodded.“Well I thought you were running from me. Bella stared at him. And for a moment she had pity on him. Was the office work getting harder? Did he need to go on a vacat

Chapter: Chapter ThreePresently Alex watched as Bella Bella shared documents around at the board meeting. His eyes roamed lazily over her body and he felt a delicious rush of blood to his groin. Bella might have rejected him but he wanted her. He had always wanted her and he wants going to listen to her excuses. It just seemed like, Bella was avoiding him. For the past 3 weeks since she resumed. He had not seen her. Today would make it the 3rd time he had seen her, since she began working for him. Bella, she felt tingles on her skin as Alex stared. She looked away, suddenly reminded of her many insecurities. There was nothing that made Bella so uncomfortable than being stared out. She looked away as If Alex continued to stare at her with some ravenous intent, people would start talking. They would say she had seduced him.As Alex stared on, Bella stared at her outfit. She wondered if she was okay. More presentable. She should be. Becky had taken her shopping for cooperate wears. She made her wear more

Chapter: Chapter Two8 months earlierAlexander Kendrick, the most powerful man in the world of cooperate business, sat in his chair, looking like the king of all he surveyed. Big and brooding and in total command. A mocking half smile covered his lips. His long legs were spread out beneath the desk.“Mr. Petro, we can’t go ahead with the shipment” Alex said quietly. “What? Mr. Kendrick what do you mean? I paid you in total” the man’s voice went high in octaves. Alex shut his eyes for a second. His mood was getting soiled as time went by. His hand twitched. It was getting hard to control his emotions. He hated stupid people. It made his blood boil.“Mr. Petro, I have explained to you the reason we can’t go on eighth the project. I have sent back the money to you—“ The man stood up and slammed his fist on the table. “I will make sure you do not get any contract. I will burn this office to the ground” he cussed profanities. Alec cocked his head to the side. That was one damn threat. Immediately the secu

Chapter: Chapter OneBella glared with frustration in the mirror. “Damn it” she muttered. She was beginning to sweat under her arms. Her hair just wouldn’t behave and she was this close to losing it.“I am sorry Bella” Becky rasped in a sore throat voice. “It took me nine months to get this interview. I just can’t reschedule and— “Becky began but Bella stopped her with a wave of her hands. “It’s alright bumble bee I will go okay?” Bella turned from the mirror to face her best friend. Becky pouted and smiled. She mouthed a thank you and continued watching her movie while sipping some soup. Bella turned back to the mirror and let out a heavy smile. She knew that the day was going to be a long day. For starters, Bella was fucked. Like to the gut. Five days ago, she was fired from her job at the coffee shop and then her mother got admitted for ALS in the hospital. That made her feel down, so she flipped off some customer and there went her second job. She was now carried jobless but at least she got a hou
