Right in the office the next day, Alicia kept pacing Williams office floor angrily, unsure of what to do. Williams already sensed her presence and he couldn't get enough of her sweet scent, slowly drinking his cofee feeling unbothered by her.
Alicia couldn't hold back her anger in anymore, as she stormed angrily into his office.
"Where did you go last night" she asked angrily, while her hands were placed on her hips and her feet kept taping the floor angrily. She sounded really offended. Could it be that she was jealous?....no she wasn't.....of cos she wouldn't want to agree she is jealous.
"I was In the hotel" he answered her briefly while his lips curved upward, chuckling slightly. No one dared question their young masters except Alicia.
"Looks like you had enough sleep and enjoyed last night. Was that the reason you didn't come home and there was no need for me to be informed?" she asked scornfully. She was really irritated by the smile on his face as he slowly put down his coffee. He stood up elegantly, taking few steps standing behind Alicia. She could feel his warmth breath whispering behind her neck, making her body feel hot, despite the fact that there was enough ventilation and the air-condition is also turned on, she felt calm and relaxed at the same time too.
"You really do sound like a jealous wife. Yes I really did enjoy my night and thanks for being concerned" he said softly teasing her ears with his warm breath.
"Of cos she wasn't concerned about him. But wait he just said !!!....Jealous wife....?....does she really sounds Jealous" she asked within her thoughts.
Last night Williams really wanted to satisfy himself, it wasn't a new thing to him. He does not develop any personal relationship with females aside being satisfied in bed, and once he is done, he treats them like trash, making sure they never appear to him anymore. But yesterday, he couldn't even get close to the satisfaction he wanted, for some weird reason, nothing felt right with him being with someone else. Their touch felt like needles piercing every part of him so hard, no matter how many girls he tried, which ended him sleeping alone.
"The company will be hosting a new fashion trend show next month but the date hasn't been fixed" Alicia said trying to sound as calm as she could.
"Let's make it towards the ending of next month, we have alot to catch up this months. Get the models well trained and prepared. We are in need of one more fashion designer, I need one that is specially skilled and well capable" he said firmly, that one could feel how intense those last words were.
Alicia heart got frozen immediately, she always had the passion of being a fashion designer, but her father wanted her to study and concentrate more about the business world. While she was still in her high school, she had secretly undergone through a fashion designing programs, making sure to keep it as secretive as possible. Unknowing to her, her father was well aware of all her movements, and seeing how determined she was, he decided to act ignorant knowing he gave birth to a very stubborn child. Alicia knew the basic part and important part of being a fashion designer and always loved sketching them in her books.
"OK sir, I will look into it immediately" she replied him calmly still unsure of what to do and knowing how big this organisation was. She never even had the chance of displaying her passion in fear that her dad might punish her for it, but could this also be a chance for her?. Maybe it was best if she recommend someone else and be quiet, she better not to screw things up.
********Alicia decided to join Noah and Annie for lunch in the office cafeteria, since Williams is still busy engrossed in office files.
"What's up sweetie" Annie greeted her warmly making space for her.
"Hey.....how are you doing?" Noah asked trying to make space too in his mouths that was already filled with foods.
"I'm fine...young man take it easy before you get choked" Alicia said teasing him while ruffing his head like a cute little boy. Noah couldn't help but pout his lips out in annoyance, he was already a grown up man yet, he was still treated like a kid, maybe that what you get for being the youngest in the company. Noah is quite ambitious, well skilled and very brilliant.
Alicia finds his childish behaviour more cute and was even more closer to him than Annie. Noah was like the perfect little brother she has always wished for, since she was the only daughter of her mother.
"How's work so far?" Alicia asked while siting in between Noah and Annie.
"Work has never been easy in this company" Annie replied her in a stressed tone while massaging her temples.
"Your face looks worried too. Is the work too stressful for you to handle?. Have told you several times to stop working as his personal assistant, I can help you with those legal fees" Noah asked worriedly and was very observant.
"Noah it's not about that. The company will be hosting a new fashion trend program very soon, and I have been thinking since I have this big dream for fashion designing, I don't know if I can also participate or maybe i should just look for someone else?" She asked confusingly.
"Here take a look at this few sketches of mine. What do you think?" Alicia asked while handling them to Noah and Annie.
"Wow!!!....this is amazing Alicia, it's impressive. Have you showed anyone this?....." Noah was utterly shocked unbelievably by Alicia's sketches. The outfit designs were well outline, shaped and perfectly designed. One could feel how much energy and effort was put into this perfect drawing, outlining every shapes and curves.
"Alicia.....this is astonishing, outstanding, incredible!!!!....well done" Annie and Mike were totally impressed by her drawings.
"Since we are still in need of one more fashion designer, why don't you recommend yourself?. I'm very sure the company will be so impressed, I am really shocked" Annie said encouragingly.
'But would Williams be impressed by this' Alicia asked skeptical in her thoughts.

By the other side of the restaurant, Sofia together with her group of friends sat down,laughing and gossiping secretly while enjoying their meals. No matter how you set a particular rule, there are still some that would bend those rules.
Sofia being the leader of these groups caught sight of Alicia's sketches being showed to Noah. Her lips curved up evilly, when a plan suddenly hit her. She was eating lazily while she kept observing them, not paying attention to what the other girls were gossiping about.
