Alex closed his eyes, opened it and took a deep breath, he sat down on the sofa and drank a wine. He gulped everything from the wine bottle, when he was done he stood up and smashed the bottle on the floor. That calmed him down, he went to the closet and changed his clothes into ash sweatpants and a hoody.
" What's wrong with me?" Alex asked himself.
He went to his study room to finish some documents. Immersed in working he had a call, checking the caller's ID he frowned.
" What?" He answered angrily
" Woah! Did someone piss your whisky or are you up to something?
Alex brought the phone in front of his eyes to check the caller's ID.
"What do you want Samuel?" Alex asked
" I just found out your baby Veronica came to you this evening, aren't you pleased or do you want more?
Alex closed his eyes and massaged his temples before answering him.
" First of all, she's not my baby and second nothing happened between us. I've gone back to my old rule, which was not to use the same girl or should I say butch for more than a day".
" But Veronica has been with you since the third day you took over the company, and that was three years ago, Aish! Mr. Gibson, you are a cold-hearted person. Poor Veronica, having a pleasure liaison with a cold-hearted man." Samuel declared
Alex got pissed off and hung up the call without saying goodbye.
He closed everything on his table and went to his bedroom to sleep, laying on his bed an image flashed across his eyes, which led him to groan. He moved to the other side of the bed and covered himself with the duvet.
************ Flashback( in the park)*********
Alex was in a hurry to go home, so he took his phone from his pocket to call his assistant, he wanted to tell him to cancel all meetings for now and send him any unfinished work. He was absent-minded when he was walking towards his bike, which was on the other side of the park. Scrolling through his phone, he accidentally bumped into someone.
He looked up and saw a lady, sitting on the ground. He smirked when she asked him to help her. When he refused the lady stood up on her own.
" Beautiful". He said to go himself
He froze when he heard what he said. He was about to say something when a call interrupted, he checked and there was an incoming call from his assistant. He answered the call, he walked passed the lady. When he got closer to his bike, he remembered the lady. He left his bike and walked towards where he saw her. Unfortunately for him, she wasn't there. He was confused about his behaviour.
" Why am I here? " he asked himself.
Heshije his head and left the place. He got home and took a warm bath, came out from the bathroom, only to see Veronica in his bed. Today has been a hectic day, he closed his eyes wearily.
**************** Flashback ends****************
Avery was sleeping peacefully as the alarm clock rang near her right ear, she groaned and moved her hand, searching for the clock.
