Crossfire

Glimpse of the future

As I walked away from Andrew, I felt this pain in my heart. How dare he even show his face in front of me am now a changed woman what is lost is lost I won't go back to be mistreated by him am better than that. Hmph, I thought to my self"I really need to go and see mum",she will be happy I broke up with Andrew.

"Hey Alexa" a faint voice said it was Evy, I always try to avoid her she looks like a kind and sweet girl but I can swear that something about her feels not right, but I don't know what."Have you found a new apartment yet? Do not worry, I just found a new apartment and you don't need to worry about anything, there us a caretaker for the house and if you have decided to move in right away it will be best. Will that be okay with you?"

"Yes, I think that would be better".

I replied. Evy nodded her head in agreement as well.

The further arrangements will be discussed with the landlord. As I see it, I will be going out of town to attend to a personal matter in a week so make up your mind quickly.

Evy finally left me alone, she always talks little but I knew she was dangerous just like Zoey.

"Miss Alex the CEO requests to see you immediately" what?! I thought he was away on a business trip or something he's back already how will I explain it to him the reason why I moved out, it make me look like an ungrateful person. A lot of thought flooded my mind as I approached his office. When I entered there was no one there , so I sat on a chair I crossed my right leg over my left leg, glancing at the clock which told me I had been sitting for just 5 minutes. Clutching my file in my hands, I waited for the CEO. But as I looked around his office it was highly decorated, he had a unique test in his fashion and it was superb, the interior was beautiful and fascinating at the same time.I looked at the clock again and it told me it has been an hour. "What taking him so long" I muttered. The door was opened and I saw Olivia coming in, she took a chair and sat next to me, the environment was beginning to feel stuffy, I was both scared and at the same time startled I wanted to hear what she want to say to me, I don't really know her relationship with the CEO, but she is too overprotective when it comes to him, well her relationship was none of my business, I only wanted to submit my file and hear what he has to say and get out of this room immediately. The air conditioner was on but I felt it was very stuffy and congested inside this room, stuck with this woman.

I heard the door opening I was relieved, I saw the CEO he looked odd, something was different about his aura, he looks like someone in pain. Sir, welcome back i came to submit a file and Mr Bennett said you requested to be me"Drop the file here and i just wanted to check on you"

Thanks sir am very fine, I will see myself out I said bowing. I could feel that Olivia was not happy with our discussion she kept on looking at me with a murderous eyes, she could even strangle me at any moment if she was opportunity to do it.

When I left the office, it was already time to go home and I decided to check out the new apartment Evy found for me.

I knocked at the door of the apartment and waited for the care taker or the Landlord to come and open the door. I was excited to see what the house looks like, from the outside it was really a sight to behold, I just hope I will have enough money to pay for it.

The door flung open and I saw an elderly man standing in front of me Hi sir, am the new tenant you are expecting"Yeah yeah the rent has already been paid so you can move in anytime, the caretaker is went back home for the weekend but he'll be back soon, You are actually the first tenant am having but maybe you'll expect more people very soon." Who paid the rent? "Ahh I don't actually remember, I am actually a forgetful person, when will you be moving in he said laughing." Tomorrow will be better but sir please try to remember the person quickly. It was already 7pm when I left the house, I surveyed the house before I left and it looked very nice and comfortable to live in. I was walking down the road immersed in my thoughts then, a car stopped next to me, I decided to ignore the car maybe he thinks am a w***e, I started walking faster but it kept horning. I turned and then I saw The CEO. What!!! I exclaimed, why is he following me? How will I explain to him? Good evening Mr Henshaw "Ooh Hi Ariana" Sir my name is Alexa not Ariana I snapped back, "You're going somewhere? Let me treat you to dinner" Anxiety and fear were eating at my insides, as I opened the car door to get in, what was I going to do now? What will I say? I was not quite comfortable in the car, we were sitting very close to each other and that made me more uncomfortable." Jason take us to the Paradise Restaurant"Paradise!!!! I thought to myself I can not afford a meal in paradise. Paradise Restaurant was one of the best eatery around and it was very expensive to even take water in there only rich people go there to eat, eating in paradise Restaurant was just a waste of money.
