Chapter 3 - The inevitable situation.

When the elevator stopped Alex turned and asked Tracy " have you had your lunch?" Tracy only nodded and Alex walked out. ' Now he pretends to care.' Tracy thought as she went back to her post.

One of Alex's secretary Judy was pregnant and he thought it wise to bring Tracy to assist her and be mentored by her. Judy was a welcoming, friendly and a generally good person hence it was not hard for Tracy to get along with her.

"Tracy help me take these forms to Mr. Alex for approval and his signature." Judy told Tracy who was typing some report on her laptop. Tracy took the forms but she was a little frightened because of how Alex have been responding to her as if she is a nuisance.

When Tracy knocked and entered the office she was carried away by the interior furnishing of the office. She thought that the office was larger than her room which she rented to get away from home. The wall portraits and furniture all looked expensive and up to date. " Have you never seen an office in your entire life?" Alex was kind enough to bring her back to reality. "Sorry I brought these forms to you for your approval and signature. " What is it all about?" Alex knew what it was about but he only wanted to know if the intern had an idea of what Judy did behind the desk. Fortunately she had an idea.

After Judy had explained everything she returned to her desk. Alex on the other hand was a little amused by her intelligence by the way she explained herself with confidence without leaving any detail. Alex's father had passed away the previous week and his last wish was that Alex should get married as soon as possible so as to inherit his property failure to that the property would be inherited by his cousin Reuben who was already married and with two kids. Alex's father had stated that Alex ought to get married within the second month after his burial and it should strictly be out of love.

Mr. Alchomes was afraid that his son would never get married because of what he witnessed in the relationship between his parents. Alex's mother cheated on his father with his best friend and after being caught she never apologized but ran away with her lover.

Alex was twenty eight years old and he only focused on his company which he built from scratch he never had time for women. Whenever he dated he would forget about his significant half and end up being single so he decided not to date again. When he saw about his father's wish he was ready to give up the property since he had his own legacy but he could not since it was his father's legacy.

Alex had a list of women who could make a potential wife but he dismissed all. That was what disturbed him he felt that all the women pissed him off.

Alex decided to look for any lady who was in need of money so as to pay her to be his bride and later divorce after gaining the property. it would be a wedding of convenience. The only problem was where would he get a lady who he could endure her presence without being annoyed just for few years. He also thought that most females were not to be trusted he had to do a thorough background check on the lady he chooses.

Tracy had been thinking of her life in her small room. She thought that the possibility of her never finding true love was actually very high. Since her youth she had dated once a relationship that changed her perspective of love completely. She had decided never to love or become blind again simply because of love. Tracy thought of how she had been able to pay her rent the last two months and the landlord had threatened to chase her away from his property. He had suggested for her to spend the night with him for him to forget about it. Tracy thought of him to be stupid.
