Crossfire

A little secret

I was fed up with all this girls coming and going. Lunch time was almost over and it was time to go back to the office, I decided to take a bathroom break to cool down my head and swallow all the stuff that has happened to me so far. It has been a year now, since I came into this office and everyone one is at my throat. They must all have a crush on him or something, i said laughing. Staring at myself, I adjusted my skirt and applied lipgloss, my lips were kind of dry. When I came out of the bathroom, someone held my hand, I turned to give that b***h a slap, but it was Jason. Jason!! "Can I have a word with you Alexa?" Yeah yeah, but am kinda busy right now I have work to do. I was trying my best to avoid any discussion with Jason, I couldn't just stand betrayal especially in Nathan's case, you both grew up together he shared everything he had with you and you are repaying him back by taking advantage of his kindness. My eyes kept looking at Jason, with such intensity. The environment was quite stuffy. "Let's meet later 1pm at Crest Cafe down the street? Is that okay for you? Yeah yeah I'll see you around.

*****Nathan's Office*********

"I told you Nathan that girl was bad news, a very bad news and you see, she is so shameless that she's hooking up with Jason at work. "Oh Gosh.

Olivia, if you have nothing more to say please leave my office.

" But baby.... mom said I should come and check on you and see how you are, you are my fiancee you know..... "

Olivia!!!!! Please see yourself out if you have nothing to do, our engagement was already called off and I have nothing to do with you, why don't you go back to Simon, I thought he was taking good care of you.

" I can still sense jealously in his voice, I know he still loves me just a little seduction will do.Baby......... I told you am sorry for that and I truly regret my decision can you forgive me? "

This woman is really shameless she disgusts me.I continue watching the footage of Alexa and Jason what could the possibly be discussing,Jason what has gotten into you? I leaned back on the chair and twirled it a little, I was so confused on what to do with Jason. "Honey pay attention, Olivia said seductively. Security!!! Drag her out of here.

**************************************

My mind was far away what did Jason want to talk about.

" Alexa!! Where's your mind today, take this files to the boss office and he has to sign them immediately, be quick about it"

It was Alison, she was definitely the nicest person in this office. Okay, Alison I'll be on my way now.

I got to the hallway leading to the boss office and I saw Olivia, she was staring at me as she walked pass me, I sometimes wonder what's wrong with her.

Boss! Boss!! Can I come in? Boss!!!

I kept on knocking on the door, but there was no reply. I wanted to barge in, but I then removed the idea from my mind. Boss!!! Boss!!!?

I heard the door opening, is the boss in? I asked the man who opened the door, I guess he was the boss bouncer.

"Young lady, Mr Henshaw is busy now, if it's not an emergency you can wait for an hour, is that too long. If you are too busy and can't wait you can come back by 2pm."

Okay, thanks sir. It was almost 1pm and I wanted to hear what Jason wanted to say to me desperately, maybe he regrets his actions. But am not his friend or anything why will he confide in me, I hate dramas and I wouldn't want to be part of one. I boarded a taxi and went to our planned venue"Crest Cafe" it was a small cafe, as I entered I saw Jason sitting by the window. He looked so calm and collected and doesn't look like someone who wants to confess or apologize. But I'll hear him out, there's more to a person than what meets the eyes.

"Alexa, I thought you wouldn't come, Let's forget about formality. You see, am the type of person who goes straight to the point when speaking. She was listening with rapt attention. I want to take over Ace Company as the CEO. "

It felt like an atomic bomb just exploded, What!!!

Are you for real Jason?! I asked him angrily.

" You think am joking Alexa!!! "

Then why did you ask me to come?You are not afraid that I'll leak your secret.

" Hahaha........ His laugh sounded evil, like a maniac. It was really disgusting and I felt really irritated."

" Alexa! Alexa!Alexa! I don't know what I like about you, maybe it's your personality or your character or because you are just a likable person. I know you won't tell."

There was an abrupt silence in the room, the atmosphere was tense and no one was in that section of the cafe, the information I heard was too hard to digest. I took a cup of coffee to help me swallow all the information I just heard.

" I want you to join forces with me to take down the Ace Company, I know you want to be more than a secretary, I can give you a much more higher position and money. I can help you get famous and successful in your career, if you choose to stay with Nathan, you will be nothing more than a mere Secretary. "

The offer was really tempting, I actually wanted to agree to it but....... No Jason, I can't do that to someone who saved me am not that selfish or heartless as you.

It sounded so good to say that I felt justified.

"I knew you would say that and that's what makes me like you more and more. But before you completely make up your mind I'll like to tell you a short story, make sure you pay attention. "
