Amelia was at work when Alexander's secretary called her.
"Hello" She said, laced with anticipation.
"Hi, Ms. Amelia, I am pleased to announce the approval of the presentation that was held yesterday."
Amelia felt her heart skip a beat. "Approval?" With the memory of her presentation's failure still fresh in her mind, she assumed that her plan was doomed.
"Yes, congrats," his secretary responded before hanging up the phone.
Amelia burst out in joy, and her coworkers joined her in celebrating the wonderful news.
Alexander wasn't pleased with her presentation but he's doing this because he felt something for her after seeing her.
As a playboy, it was the first time Alexander had ever felt anything for a woman. He even married his wife, Ariana, because of what her father could offer the company.
A year ago, Alexander was approached by Ariana's father. He promised him that if he married his daughter, Ariana, he would turn his firm into a global success.
Ariana is a stunning lady and a model.
Even though Alexander never loved her, he could not refuse the offer.
Alexander is willing to go to great lengths to ensure his company's success.
Last year, his company was ranked among the top three best.
He views it as two opportunities: for his company to expand globally and for Ariana to serve as a model for his brand.
Alexander and Ariana married one month after Ariana's father approached him. He barely speaks to her. Ariana married him because she wanted to be known as the CEO'S wife of KAVLAK. She is constantly modelling for corporations, whilst he is usually attending conferences.
He was not calm; all he could think about was Amelia. Alexander could not believe he could fall in love with anyone; now it is shown to him that he has fallen in love with Amelia, but he refuses to accept the reality that he has fallen so deeply.
His pride would not allow him to call her directly; instead, he expected a call from her regarding the approval of the presentation; when she did not call, he decided to phone her.
Her phone rang, but she was not answering it. He called JAMES.M. Company's finance secretary to inquire about her whereabouts, but she stated that she was not at work, and they had all attempted to contact her, but she did not return their calls.
"Could she be preoccupied with her husband? What could be the reason she is not returning her calls?"
He was concerned, so he went to his complex and drove one of his cars out to Amelia's house, which he clearly remembered.
"I am certain she and her husband are not living together since I saw no signs of a male living there," he said as he drove away from his residence.
When he arrived at her house, the gatekeeper unlocked the gate, stepped out of his car, and walked straight to Amelia's front door, ringing the house bell, forcing the maid followed by the twin to rush and attend to whoever was standing there.
They walked slowly, and they hugged his legs tightly.
"Welcome, Daniel and Daniella's father. The maid greeted me.
"Huh," Alexander was confused at her words; now that things are becoming clearer, he realises that Amelia never introduced anybody as the twins' father, which is why the maid refers to him as such.
"Where is Ms. Amelia?" Alexander asked.
Welcome, sir..."She is not feeling well; she is inside."
Alexander went inside to greet Amelia, leaving the twins behind.
"How are you doing Amelia"
She attempted to get herself off the long chair in the living room where she was resting.
"Whoa, Mr. Alexander...good morning."
"Good morning, Ms. Amelia. I have been trying to reach you; did you realise we were supposed to start something as soon as your presentation was approved?" Alexander pretends to be more concerned with work.
Amelia could not help but stare at the attractive man standing in front of her.
Alexander stands tall and athletic in front of Amelia, commanding and capturing her with his presence.
"I am sorry about that; I have not been feeling well; I have not even touched my phone today; I should have phoned the secretary to write you an email regarding my health, but they are unaware that I am not feeling well."
"How do you feel now?"
"I am alright; my doctor just left not long ago, but believe me, I will be fine."
"Okay, I will come back soon."
You can not just come and go the same way you did the last time you gave me a ride, so why don't you at least allow me to give you drinks?
Amelia felt terrible that Alexander had left without greeting him warmly.
"Alexander Redington, I am not going to fall for you this time," she smiled as he left.
She sat down, and Alexander entered again, this time with a bouquet.
"Get well soon," he said, giving her.
Amelia was struggling not to succumb to his charm.
"Whoa…. I like this, thank you for this, I never expected this, and I appreciate it, Mr. Alexander."
Alexander kissed her on the forehead, and Amelia could not help but kiss him deeply on the lips.
As Daniel and Daniella entered, they stopped kissing.
"I am sorry…" Alexander said.
"I will be on my way now; please take care of yourself and message me whenever you are free."
Amelia was dumbfounded when Alexander left.
She sat down and reflected on what had happened; the image of Alexander walking away from her door was still clear in her mind. The emotions she had at that moment, the intensity they experienced, are all whirling through her head, as is the worry of what might happen if she tells him about their previous encounter.
"I am JAMES.M. Company Manager; he may believe I am looking for attention; I will not do that; I will not tell him he is the father of my twins; I will just keep it from him; and he did not even remember, so is there any reason for that?" Amelia spoke to herself.
