Adele POV
As we got to the airport,I pulled out my black suit case and my hand bag out of the cab and paid the cab driver .
My Visa was approved three weeks ago.
I was just so happy…,for the first time ever, the universe seems to be on my side.
when I received the news, I resigned my job and started preparing myself and what I might be needing .
I was getting myself physically, mentally, and emotionaly prepared, I mean…its a foreign country.
Lexi saw me off at the airport. She gave me a heart warming hug before I boarded the plane."i will try not to miss you too much".she said.
I know that was her just trying to be tough.
I never knew how had it was to say goodbye until now.I mean…we been through thick and thin together.
I was trying so hard not to cry, but the stupid tears just keeps dropping.
Inside the plane,I took my seat which was by the window side.I know they have a turn off phone policy , so I plugged in my earphones and quickly downloaded some music and four audiobooks.
Feeling greatly satisfied with my idea,I embraced the gruesome idea of a twenty four hours flight.
As the plane took off I starred out the window . 'The city looked quite beautiful from up here' ,I thought to myself before finally looking around to observe my surroundings.
A middle aged woman who looks quite sophisticated was sitting beside me, she's probably going for a business trip.i concluded.
****After 28 hours of traveling***
I easily spotted the cab the hotel I'll be staying in, sent to pick me.
Luckily for me I made all the necessary arrangements online before coming here .
I would be lodging in a hotel room for like a week until I get my apartment issues sorted.
The cab man helped me to load my stuff in the car trunk,so I could go use the restroom.
'ahh feels good to pee on a normal toilet' . I could hear some noise outside,I wonder what the commotion is ?..
***Third person POV
"Mr. Quinn over here!."a reporter asked
"Mr Quinn Is true the stock of Quinn Corporation is going down, can you tell us why?.."another person asked.
"Mr Quinn you've been with Fiona for two months now??!!!"
"Mr Quinn!! Mr Quinn!!
Many reporters were swamped at the airport today due to a special someone.
"Where did he go?"a female reporter asked.
"I don't know,I think he went that way " another person said as they all ran towards that angle.
Meanwhile,just as Adele was coming out from the ladies restroom, she collided with a strong human wall and fell on her butt . she let an 'ouch' In a tiny pained voice.
The man only ignored her and walked inside before shutting the door in a hurried manner.
"Excuse you! Don't you know how to apologize!!"she shouted aggrieved.
Alex looked at her with an expressionless face before fishing out his phone from his pocket.."Yeah okay…"
Soon after another guy entered the bathroom with five sturdy bodyguards as they all escorted Alex out . Alex looked around but couldn't find the lady anymore woman'
************************************
Alexander Quinn a twenty-eight years old CEO of Quinn Corporation, and an all time notorious player
Walking out of the restroom cubicle,Alex asked Brian"Find out who leaked out my return".
"Okay sir …. But sir why didn't you tell anyone when you're coming back so to avoid this ?".
In the car, Alex starred out the window trying to imagine how the night will be like. The old man wouldn't give him a break, surely its not a crime to be a bachelor at twenty eight.
Alex knew that most men even at age thirty are yet to be married and they are not bothered about it. After all marriage isn't for everyone.
Some chose to get married, while others chose to tag along with the single men. And he Alex is among those.
No! No marriage, not after the horror he went through at the hands of Kayla,he wasn't ready to test such water again.
But as a man with ragging hormones and desires, so he only considered a short time relationship with opposite sex , which doesn't last more than a month.
And so far, only Fiona has been able to surpass that time.
He knew there was something different about her among other girls who have shared his bed.
Probably because of her high level of intelligence and will power to succeed.
Fiona was a heiress of a fast growing beverage company.she has this vibe of ' don't mess with me or I don't take nonsense and someone who sticks to her principle or whatever she thinks is right…that kind of independent woman vibe. She was totally different .
Very much the opposite of Kayla who depends on him so much and not willing to stand on her own. kayla, who almost sucked him dry had he not seen trough her deceit.
Alex felt his tie tighten around his neck and he gulped swiftly as if there was a huge lump on his throat , but inwardly,he knows he's being affected by the memories of the past. It still haunted him.
