Chapter 4 - Alex

"Why are you still here?" Alex asked coldly

The blonde who was fast asleep could hear him speak but couldn't make any sense of his words. She rolled over, now moving closer to him hoping to get a cuddle.

Alex let out an angry scoff and stood up from the bed to raise the curtains. He knew how much she hated being woken up from her sleep. But he couldn't care less, he hated her guts and only still allowed her close to him because she gave him the pleasure he needed whenever they had sex.

"Sir, your brother has arrived. He's downstairs," a maid announced as she stood by the door

Alex quickly grabbed a robe. He paused for a second as he wondered why the maid only acknowledged his brothers' presence when he was supposed to be there with Sam. He confirmed his assumptions when he saw his brother sitting in the parlor without Sam

"Where's Sam?" he asked as soon as he saw Greg

"He didn't fly," Greg answered

Alex let out a scoff "He didn't fly?"

"Yeah, I don't know why, but he changed his mind at the last minute. You know how he gets," Greg replied sounding so unbothered

"What was your purpose for traveling down there then? You know how much we need him in the company! You know, I could have just gone myself or sent someone else," Alex said angrily

"Well, it's not too late. You could still try and let's see if he listens," Greg replied as he stood up "I'll be taking my leave now, my flight for France is in 3 hours time, I need to get prepared. And yeah he said he'll call you,"

Alex cuss at him and thought about how useless he was, even though he knows so well Greg is the only person Sam would rather listen to.

"Aliya," He called out

"Yes Sir," A young maid ran to him

"Get me my phone I left it upstairs," he said and let out a deep sigh to relieve his frustration

"Okay Sir," she answered

_____

"Good Afternoon Sir, Welcome."

"Yeah," Alex replied as he headed towards the office table. He dialed a number on the office line and a husky sharp voice answered

"Good afternoon Sir."

"Report to my office now," he replied

"Yes sir," after a few minutes a slender, tall, brunette haired lady walked into his office

"Hello Sir,"

"Hi Anita, what's the progress on the magazine? Have you been able to convince the model?"

"No Sir, her management won't let us speak to her, they claim that she's booked and very busy,"

Alex let out a scoff "too busy for CFA? Hmm, impressive," he let out a sigh "keep looking out for them and send as much pictures as you can to me. I'm looking out for something and so far there's been no luck in finding it,"

"Okay," she wanted to tell him they might have ran out of models to use because she had sent him pictures of different models and he rejected all of them but she knew better than complaining to Sir Alex, he could put her on probation or have her sacked immediately.
