Alex's POV
Hazel her voice rings in my head as I sat on my office couch waiting for Ethan who was on a date with some Crazy bitch we met at the supermarket,
Ethans walks in smiling like a little kid who was promised ice cream.
Do you know how embarrassing it was for me to ask my secretary to chase miller out of my company.
Wait you mean your secretary was here at this time of the night.
Yes all thanks to, that smile on your face shows you are still with that girl we met at the supermarket.
Are you praying for us to break up Alex?.
I went to her place yesterday and met this very beautiful girl whom she introduced as her bestie, I can link you up with her if you want.
Am not in the mood for any stupid games Ethan remember we have someone we are investigating.
Oooh almost forgot, so did you get any new clues apart from your tiny little heart that doesn't stop beating when she's around.
This is no time for jokes Ethan
I look at his pathetic smiles.
I can't believe despite being engaged to me she has another boyfriend.
I bit my lower lip in anger.
Hmmm hmm hmm can I smell something,
What.....
"Jealousy
You know what let just go home.
That is the reaction I get each time I say the truth.
I ignore his ranting and left.
I pulled up at my family mansion and met mom packing gifts in the living room.
What are we celebrating mom,
Hey Alex come here,
She gestures for me to sit beside her.
I bought this gifts for my daughter in-law.
I have never seen my mother this happy for the past three years now, and it gladens my heart that I could make her smile this much.
Ok mom carry on with you packaging I will just rest in my room, tomorrow is going to be a long day,
Oohh before I forget your father will be joining us in LA, he took a few days off just for you son,
Ooh ok.
That was all i manage to say before going to my room.
So for once in his life he thought about me.
I have always lack fatherly love ever since I was a child.
My dad was always on business trips completely forgetting he has a wife and a son.
Tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day for you Emily Lawson I said unable to get her off my mind.
Hazel's POV
Lizzy barge into the apartment happily.
Hi Emi she kisses me happily.
You look exhausted.
You can say that again Emi, Ethan is just too sweet.
There she goes again, I can't believe this guy stole my best friend from me.
Pack up we are leaving.
Wait... What.. why. Where are we going Emi.
We are going home Lizzy mom needs us there.
No I already accepted to accompany Ethan to his friends wedding this weekend I can't just cancel.
You have to Liz it very important we go home tomorrow morning.
Lizzy pulled out her phone and texted Ethan with a sad expression, I felt so sorry for spoiling her weekend plans but I need her to go home with me. Alot has been happening to me this past days and she doesn't even care to ask.
We finish packing and went to bed.
The constant ringing of my phone woke me up from my peaceful sleep and I picked up without checking the caller.
Don't you think it too early to call someone I said within my sleep.
That is no way to address your boss.
My eyes flips wide open.
Alex.....
What do you want.
I need you at the office immediately.
His tone seem like something serious just happened.
It a Saturday for crying out loud Alex.
I know but it very important, you need to hurry.
I found myself rushing out of my apartment even before I could process things, it was only when I got outside that I realized I was still in my pajamas.
I don't have time to change I think something serious is wrong.
In no time I pull up in front of the company and rush in.
Luckily my flight was set for 11 am.
I bashed into his office and my mouths hangs open in shock as he sat on his chair comfortably.
What happened., I gulp noticing his muscles that are visible under his open shirt.
My entire body freeze as wild imagination rings in my head, get a grip of yourself Emi.
He curled up his lips in a smile when he caught me staring.
See those gift over there, am heading for a wedding party and completely forgot to wrap them can you wrap them up, am running late.
This was your Emergency? Wrapping gifts?
Seriously.
Is there a problem with that...
His expression remains the same.
I couldn't hold my anger anymore.
You made me rush out of my house on a Saturday morning looking like a ghost just to come wrap gifts for a stupid wedding that has absolutely nothing to do with me, seriously what do you take me for? Your maid?
You know what Alex Wilson am done putting up with your nonchalant altitude,
Without giving him a chance to speak a storm off missing that ridiculous smirks he must be having on his face.
I hate your guts. I Storm into the room furious.
Lizzy who was busy dolling up herself walks up to me frighten.
What happened Emily.
It my boss, he treats me like a nobody and am sick and tired of his constant bullying. Can you imagine he made me rush to the company just to wrap gifts for a wedding party he was going to attend.
Lizzy looked at me like I was a crazy lunatic.
Calm down Emi, you won't want us to miss our flight won't you,
I calm down a little the thought of seeing my daughters face really gladens my heart.
I dressed up and we left for the airport. In less than an hour we landed at the LA airport,
