Crossfire

Endless Gossip

When I finally arrived at the Henshaw's Mansion, I took Nathan inside the house. I was already familiar with the house. Everything looks the same, there was no difference in the house Luna has been taking her cleaning job seriously I said chuckling. Seeing Mr Henshaw in his most venerable state felt good. I didn't know why I felt that way, but I think he has opened up to me a little and even trusted me with his pride. He has already done so much for me even if we only know each other for a short while.

I changed his cloth, he had already vomited on his suit, he slept like a baby it was nice watching this view of him, he has put down all his defense.

I heard the sound of birds, the sun shining it bright and beautiful light rays, it felt like a new beautiful day.

What!!!! I was sleeping on the same bed with Nathan and we were cuddling, please how did this happen?!!! What and I can't move his big arms are wrapped around me. I lay down quietly and thought of the next action to do the maids will soon be here to serve morning tea before break. 'Oh My God' am in big trouble.

The alarm began to ring and I quickly closed my eyes to pretend am sleeping. "Oh I want to sleep more, I have work today" What!!!!!!

Ariana?!!!! What's she doing on my bed?! How did I get changed?! How dare you Ariana?! Thank goodness she's still asleep, now what to do and why am I the one wrapping my arms around here? Nathan quickly removed his hands and went to the bathroom to take his bath, pretending as if he has seen nothing and as though it was just a perfect morning. Immediately he left, I made my move I carried my high heels in my hand and carried my bag and immediately dashed out of the room. Thanks Goodness Charlotte or even Luna did not see it. I was already outside the Henshaw's Mansion, I flagged a taxi and went home to prepare for work, I hurriedly showered and ate breakfast. When it was time to apply makeup I was more careful, I can't look ugly in public it kind of a disgrace to me. I was applying my mascara when my phone rang, it was an unknown caller I decided to ignore it and focus on my make up, but the unknown caller kept disturbing I decided to pick.

"Hey, am Rodney your new neighbors who moved next to you"

" Hey Rodney, the landlord told me a new tenant was coming soon but I did not expect it to be so fast"

" I am also the caretaker so if you have any problem you can call me, your name is Alexa Stuart right? " You have a beautiful name I hope I'll see you around.

When I got to work it was 9am I was an hour late but I don't actually care, everyone makes mistake sometime but I hope Amy will not use this as an opportunity to make fun of me.

I met Adrian on my way to the office and he told me my Brother wedding was scheduled next weekend and mom wanted me to come, "she says she misses you" Adrian said. Yeah I will be there.

I met Jason in the elevator. Hatred and disgust flooded my head, I hated people who betrays their friends for any reason whatsoever.

I felt like punching him, my eyes kept staring at him so immensely and I could tell that he was uncomfortable standing next to me . How dare he even show his wretched face in the office?

"Can I see you Alexa? "Jason said

Yeah let's talk

" How's your relationship with Nathan going? "

I felt like strangling him right now and right here, he still has the balls to ask about me and Nathan whom he betrayed. We are not in a relationship we are just Only colleagues and he is my boss

"That's nice to hear, Bye for now"

When I got into the office I met Betsey sitting on my chair. Why of all day today?

"Hey, Alexa what's popping"

Get out of my work space Betsey, I have no time to chat with 'dogs'.

"Don't act all cocky and brave, I know that there is a hidden reason why you will still be The Boss secretary even after, 7 month is something going on between you two? "Betsey said

I was so shocked I ended up spitting my coffee is she mad or something.

"Betsey I don't know what your problem is but you can kindly leave me alone and go purse other men or disturb other people I don't mind, I heard you are in your late thirties and you have not yet gotten married, you even have grey hair now, I said touching her hair "

Judging from the kind of person Betsey was this approach was the best. The popular slogan 'Know your enemy ' I know everything about everyone in this office since am the secretary and I sometimes handle files and report of the workers.

Today was just a very terrible day, it was as though they had planned to pick on me, every single one of them it was as thought today was my most unlucky day on earth.

Hey loser!!! that was Alvida, I knew she hated me because I gave her a bad review and failed her promotional exams, she was unqualified and there was another worker more qualified thank her. What happened Alvida? Talk quickly my lunch is getting cold.

"After refusing to promote me what did you gain? Daddy worked his way true and I was still promoted to Director of sales, while you are just a mere secretary. "

Since you ask me a question, should I be mean or kind?!

Anyone who does not work and makes his or her own achievement with her own hands doesn't deserve to be called a person, you always really on your daddy for help to get you to tip position that you personally know you don't deserve. People who work their way up, have more experience and can stay in their positions, but people like you Daddy's girl, you can even get fired anytime because of your lack of experience, I only deal with credible people for your information darling. There will be a time that your Daddy won't be there to help you. "

I know that face, she angrily stumped out of the cafeteria, but I knew more was coming.

"Tsk" Who is it this time, it was Becky.

" You always go around carrying your shoulders up because you are the only secretary of the CEO that have stayed in that position for long, don't worry soon enough when he is tired of you he will move on. "

Thanks for the advice, Becky.

" You think we don't know you are having an affair with the CEO"

That question came like a bullet I was not having an affair but he helped me in one or two ways.

I knew that there were cameras around waiting patiently to capture my reaction I would not be surprised if they were filming our conversation, they decided to have it in an open environment, so that they could have proof they are really becoming smart and daring these few days.

Someone higher must have planned all this out careful and the person behind it was a smart one.

"You see everyone, Becky continued, I knew something was up with her she must have seduced the boss,you seductress."

Becky I do not actually blame you.
