of his father to his sister, Alexandra Maxwell. She ran the company alongside their father, but she didn’t like the business world. She wanted to be a chef. So she gave William a chance to redeem himself by going to Harvard Business School. While he studied, his father was diagnosed with a kind of cancer that had a very high mortality rate. His father died before he could finish school. Their company was handed over to his sister, leaving him with nothing. In his resentment, he left school.
Alexandra was quick on her feet and allowed William to take the company’s position as CEO under her guidance. William took it as an opportunity and strived hard to prove something to someone who was already dead. Although he was known for his rude and unapproachable aura, he was still famous with the ladies. Since he had the name, the money, and the face, no one with tits could resist his charm. He was also known as a player who only sleeps with women rather than get into a relationship with them. The last relationship he had was in college to a now-famous supermodel.
I absorbed the information Ally told me about the man who might have my life crushed with one phone call. I swallowed a lump in my throat as I thought of some defense so he couldn’t hurt me, but I found none. The man owned more than half of the city’s businesses and real estate properties, with local and international branches. He was the worst kind of enemy. And I had the worst kind of luck. I just had to be one of the few people that could piss him off.
I sighed in defeat when Ally finished. I was definitely screwed. I didn’t know how to face him on my first day at work. I could only pray that I don’t cross paths with him at all… But then I remembered something that made me want to jump off a bridge: since Alexandra’s office is right beside his, then my desk was located right outside of it!
After finishing our drinks and bagels, we headed back to our apartment and said our goodbyes. I quickly locked the door and headed towards the bedroom. I plopped onto the bed and curled into a ball, not bothering to change into my pajamas. I sighed hopelessly and thought, ‘How the hell was I going to deal with Mr. Mogul?!’
The next day, I woke up with a bit of a headache. I didn’t mind the pain and rolled out of bed. When I finished taking a bath and dressed in my usual outfit, I skipped breakfast and went to the hospital right away.
One of the perks of my new place was the short bus ride to and from the hospital my father stayed in, which helped me save time. As I got there, he had just finished eating his breakfast. He was shocked to see me this early. I started telling him about what happened yesterday after he put away his dish. I skipped the part when Mr. Famous and Serious took me home. I don’t know why I skipped that, but I felt like I had to.
By lunch, I’d already covered most of the details, even having coffee with Ally. My father’s eyebrows scrunched together when I started telling him about William Maxwell. I mentally smirked at his reaction. Maybe it was a response to the way I was narrating the story, but what can I say? A person can only tell a story from their point of view.
When afternoon came, Terry visited with Andrew. It was the first time my father met Terry’s boyfriend. He wasn’t judgmental and was very carefree the entire time they stayed for a chat. I also told them about my night at the most talked about party. Andrew was taken aback when he knew I was going to work for Alexandra Maxwell. He almost lost his ability to breathe from the shock. He started questioning me about everything. I got uncomfortable at one point, which made Terry cut him off and lie smoothly about leaving for work early. In reply, I smiled to him in thanks.
I left a few minutes after Terry left because my father insisted that I head home. I didn’t want to go since I wouldn’t be seeing him until the next weekend. My new job was quite time consuming.
