CHAPTER TWO.

BEATRICE JAMES.

Woah I drank too much, I stood up from the bar stool to get back to where molly left me, I don't think I can maintain my balance while walking but I will try, when I tried taking a few steps I lost my balance and was about to fall when a strong hand caught me.

"Ooh it's you again".

" Yeah it's me".

"Do me a favour by leaving me alone and don't ever touch me".

" Nah, I don't think I will listen this time You are so drunk".

"So mind your business if am drunk how...".

Everything start to look blur before I start to struggle from Alex arms.

The next morning I woke up I start to feel a heavy head ache. I opened my eyes so I could see where I was. my surrounding look so different, am in a room but it's not mine, this room is bigger than my kitchen. I quickly removed the covers from my body to check whether am naked, Thank goodness my cloths are still on but where I am, The last thing I remembered was me arguing with Alex before I passed out. Bingo am in Alex pent house or apartment or whatever this place is called . I was so annoyed, I left the room and started looking for Alex. I entered the kitchen and saw Alex backside, his back is so well sculptured he is meant to act in those Greek films where he will act god Zeus. focus Bea you are annoyed with him.

" Hey". He turned around and smiled at me like am buying all his act, He is wearing a sweat pant that hang low on his hips and his arbs are so ....

.and those six packs God help soul this man is so handsome, focus Bea.

"You are awake?, how was your night?". How cute he even asked how my night was.

" Why did you bring me here?". I can't believe this after I told him not to touch me he went ahead by bringing me here he's so pathetic.

"How dare you touch me".

" You're welcome".

"Welcome!! I didn't even say thank you, I will ask again why did you bring me here".

" I brought you here because you were drunk and you couldn't walk properly and I didn't know the friend you came with ".

" You could have left me where I passed out that would have been better".

"A gentleman don't do that shit I can't just leave you there".

" Oh wow you are a gentleman now how sweet". I laughed dryly and air quote gentleman. Alex moved closer to me and there was no space between us code red!!!.

"The way you are acting now shows that you have no headache". I punched hard in his stomach and he groaned.

" You know you look cute when you are annoyed, I like ladies who are spicy and cocky like you".

" But I hate Playboys and arrogant fools like you".

"Ouch that's harsh". I need to leave this place but first let me get rid of this alcohol smell, I need a bath.

" Where is your bathroom I need to freshen up".

"Okay follow me". He lead me back to the room I slept last night and he left. His bathroom is very neat and stacked with new toothbrush s and towel. What will I wear when am true with my bath, I left the bathroom and went back to the kitchen where Alex was still preparing breakfast.

" I was wondering what I will wear when am done with taking my bath".

" Don't worry about that I will take care of that just go and take your bath".

"Okay thanks". I went back to the bathroom naked my self and I switched on the shower, The hot water touching my body made the knotted muscles relax, I wish I can get baths like this often, When I was done bathing I got out of the shower, I took one towel and wrap it around myself and took another and wrapped it on my head, I searched the drawers for the hair dryer but found none, He's not so thoughtful how could someone be so rich and don't have a hair dryer, I left the bathroom and found a shirt and shorts neatly folded and a hair dryer was beside the cloths .

" He really took care of it and he's so thoughtful ". I thought out loud. i quickly got dressed and grabbed my clutch from the bedside table and left the room without thinking twice. I was about to open the front door when Alex stopped me.

" Won't you eat something before going".

"I will eat something when I get home".

" Stop being stubborn and eat something before going ".

" Oh why do you care whether I go home without eating?".

"I can't just let you leave without eating".

" Sorry I stand on my words I will eat something when I get home now if you excuse me I have a taxi to catch".

"Hmm am just trying to be nice to you the least you can do is eat one breakfast with me".

" Fine I will eat one breakfast with you but you will have to promise me that you will never disturb me".

"Am not promising you but I will try". Is this guy kidding me he will try.

" Are just going to stand thereof come here and sit so I can serve you something to eat". I sat down on the dining chair while he served us something to eat, When he was done serving the food we started eating, Hmm the food is good.

"You like it".

" Yeah it good who taught you how to cook ".

" My mom and when I was in college I sighed up for cooking class ".

" Oh that's good, you want to be a useful person it's nice to see you are good in one thing ".

" Say whatever you want as long as its not true".

"Okay am not saying anything ". We remained silent till we finished eating.

" Let me wash the dishes before going it's the least I can do ".

" Nah don't worry I will do it myself ".

" No I insist ".

" Okay but I will help you".

"Whatever". I took the dishes to the disand let me and waited for it to be done, To kill time I started a conversation between us.

" So which college did you go to ".

" Miami university".

"That's good". okay this is getting awkward.

" What was yours ".

" Washington university ".

" That's nice ".

" Okay this is awkward ".

" Yeah it is, I know you are trying to kill time, But you are asking awkward questions ".

" Yeah I know ". Why is this dishwasher not done.

" Bea just remove the dishes from the washer and let me do the rest while you get ready to go".

"Okay no problem". I switched off the dishwasher and took the dishes out of the machine and he rinsed, cleaned and set the dishes.

" I can drive you hone if you want ". Is he kidding me nah this that is not gonna happen.

" No don't burden yourself because of me you will have so much work to do".

"No I insist".

" No I will go home on my own, don't worry about it".

"Okay bye". I went to the island to take my clutch and got out of the penthouse, Finally am free from that man that's the last time but when am around him I feel something I have never felt before. I entered the elevator and waited for it to take me to the last floor I got out of the building and waved for a cab, I saw a cab three minutes later.

ALEXANDER JONES.

I watched Beatrice till she entered the cab, I too need to prepare for work I might be a kind who joke around but I like to bury my face in work and I need to prepare for the lunch of the new company, my father said I will be the CEO of the new company so as from tomorrow I will be very busy, I prepared to go for work, I need to do things to forget about Beatrice I can't risk my Playboy image, I still wanna enjoy life am not ready to fall in love, With that thought I drove to work.

BEATRICE JAMES.

Few minutes later I got out of the cab after paying the cab driver, am so gonna kill molly for ditching me during the party and leading me into this mess, I entered the apartment and it was empty I guess molly has gone to work, Am starving the food I ate at Alex house wasn't satisfying at all I searched the cabinet for food but all I could see was chips,I made a mental note that I will do some grocery shopping, I searched the freezer and saw orange juice, I went to my room with the snacks I found, I brought out my laptop and checked my notification maybe I got a job from all the jobs I applied for but none, I will come back later and check again, I took a little nap, When I woke up I checked my laptop for notification and yes I got one from a new company that is opening soon, I was asked to come on Monday for my interview, I left the apartment to go do some grocery shopping, when I came back molly was in the living room watching television.

"I see you are back from work". I frowned to show her am annoyed with her.

" And I see you went grocery shopping and I also see that you are annoyed with bit what I don't see is the hickeys that are suppose to be on your neck or somewhere on your body".

"Seriously hickeys". I gave her a questioning look.

" Yeah what I mean is that I saw the number one playboy carrying you out of the party yesterday".

"Yeah and you couldn't stop him".

" Why would I stop him ".

" Because you know that am not ready for all this nonsense ".

" Whatever, so what did you buy".

"Obviously its grocery".

" Okay let arrange them into the freezer and tell me what happened when you woke up from your drunken state". I filled molly in on what happened when I was with Alex.

"So he didn't touch you or even kissed you".

" Yeah obviously he didn't ".

" Hmm". molly raised one eyebrow to hive me that says are sure he didn't touch you. molly and I prepared dinner, we ate and we went to our separate rooms. Sunday evening molly helped me pick up a outfit that I will wear for my interview, I can't wait to go for my interview, The next day I was preparing to go for my interview, I waved for a cab and told the cab driver the new company's address, few minutes later I was standing in front of the company the building is huge and on top of the building a name was imprinted on it JO LTD, I waved off my nervousness and entered the building, I met the secretary.

"Hum my name is Beatrice James and am here for an interview".

" Oh wait give me a second".

"Okay no problem".

" Yeah Beatrice James go straight and turn to the right you will see a room wait till you are called ".

" Okay thanks ".

" You are welcome". I followed the direction given to me I saw the number of people who came for the interview, Oh God pls let me see this job, an hour later I was called.

"Beatrice James pls come in for your interview".

" Okay". Oh Lord pls help me, I entered the room and sat down on the chair oh God this feel like torture.

"So Beatrice tell us about yourself". I swallowed hard.

" Am from hum..... California, I was adopted by Mr and Mrs Jackie James, I a graduate of Washington university".

"Okay this says you have one work experience, why are you no longer working there".

" I resigned because I felt I don't belonged there and i was in a difficult state then".

"Okay why do you want to work here"."

"Because I need money and I want to be a useful person". I how I answer was valid.

" How many language can you speak?".

"I can speak five languages ".

" Which are".

"English, Spanish, Hindi, Turkish and French".

" Hmm okay give us a sec". The panel started to whisper their thought and this is making me so nervous this feels like when a judge is giving a criminal a judgment.

"We have come to our conclusion".

" And?."Oh God pls let this judgment be a good one.

"You are hired as the secretary of the CEO of this company". Oh goodness gracious am so happy.

" Oh thank you am so grateful thank you thank you".

"You are to start next week Monday"/

" Okay I will". I can't wait to tell molly about this.

ALEXANDER JONES.

Work is meant to be my second name since the day of the lunch have been busy, I just decided to take a break today, I went to the bar to have drinks with my friend Trent.

"Hey dude I saw you carrying a girl last Friday is she good".

" She passed out, how do you expect me to do it with someone who won't respond to your every touch".

"Oh that's rad did you dumb her somewhere or something".

" Nah I took her to my penthouse".

"Dude you never take any girl to your penthouse".

" I don't know I couldn't just dumb her that's bad".

BEATRICE JAMES

The following Monday came in so fast and I can't wait to begin my new work I left for work after eating my breakfast, I went to the secretary that directed me to the room the other day.

" Excuse me but pls which floor is the CEO floor".

"The sixteenth floor".

" Thank s".

"Wait we get the chance to introduce ourselves my name is Chloe". She extended her hand and I took it.

" Mine is.....".

"Beatrice I know".

" Nice to meet you Chloe ".

" See you during lunch ".

" Okay ". I was already going when she called me back.

" Before you go your phone number ".

We exchanged phone number and I was finally free to go, I entered the elevator and pressed the button fit the sixteenth floor, when I got there I became nervous again, I entered my office which was directly in front of the CEO office, I cleaned and arranged it and I waited for work to come my way, An hour later a file was brought to me, I am to reprint and get it stamped by the CEO, when I done reprinting, I knocked on the door to the CEO office.

" Come in ". When I entered I met the familiar eyes of Alexander Jones.
