💦 Ace 💦
I turn and look at the time, noticing it was 7am. I decide to get up and get ready for work.
I didn't sleep the whole night, like the past couple nights.
I just couldn't. My mind was too occupied to get any rest, all I could think about was Alex.
What I had done to her was unforgivable but I need her in my life. I'm too selfish to just walk away from her, even if Ive hurt her way too much already. I need her. Im willing to wait, until she's ready. If she ever will be..
After taking a cold shower, I walk into my closet and choose to wear a black shirt with a black suit. I roll my sleeves up and walk down the stairs. Entering the kitchen, I see Molly cooking breakfast.
"Good Morning sir, sit down breakfast is ready'" she says
I take a seat and she places a plate with an omelette in front of me.
"Any word about Alexandra? Will she be coming back?" she asks with sadness in her face
I shake my head, and look down
"She won't listen to me about coming back" I say
"Im just worried about her being alone, and I miss her" she says
Molly goes back to the kitchen and I sit, eating my breakfast.
I let out a puff of air and grab my phone, dialling my PA Leila
"Good Morning Mr. Anderson" she answers nervously,
Leila has always been my assistant. Since the beginning of Anderson Tech. Before, I was quite rude to her, which is why she's always had this almost 'fear' of me.
"Leila, please have two cars sent from the mansion to
Alexandra's penthouse as soon as possible." I order
"Alright sir, are there any car preferences I should take note of?" she asks
"..the white Tesla, and the porsche" I say with a smile, thinking about Alex's requests from last night
"The porsche?
But Mr. Anderson, that's your favorite car-" I cut her off
"Yes Leila, send her the porsche" I answer
Cars didn't matter to me at this point. Nothing did. Not money, not my business, not my cars, nothing. Only Alex mattered to me.
"Alright I'll have the cars sent ASAP" Leila confirms
"Oh one last thing, make sure they arrive after 9am"I say
"Got it" she says and I hang up
I didn't want the cars arriving before 9am since I was supposed to pick Alex up...
I finish my breakfast and take my dishes to the sink.
Grabbing a few other things, I head out the door and to the car, making my way to Alex's penthouse.
I arrive a couple minutes before 9am and I notice no paparazzi around which was great. I park the car at the front of the building doors and get out of the car, walking over to the other side.
I lean against the car, waiting for Alex. A few moments later, I see her walk out. She looks up and meets her gaze with mine and then looks away. I couldn't take my eyes off her.
She looked like an angel.. wearing all white. She was wearing a white suit, and white heels with her hair curled.
"Look at us, opposites today" she says with a smile pointing to my all black suit and her all white suit
"I know, it's a good match" I say with a wink and open the car door for her
"You remind me of my old chauffeur, this man named Liam Wilson. Do you know him?" she asks innocently as she gets in the car
"Liam? No I've never heard of that name"I smile and walk to the other side and get into driver's seat
"Ah well he was a great driver" she says and looks out her window
"Was he now?"I ask with a smirk
I lean closer to her and whisper in her ear huskily
"Well I think Ace is pretty good too"
She turns to face me and our faces our mere inches apart.
She looks down at my lips and back at my eyes "If you keep your eyes on the road, then maybe we'll find out" she answers back
I smile and start the car, driving off to the office.
"Will I be receiving my cars today?" she asks
"Yes. They should be arriving soon" I answer
"Good" she replies
We reach the company and I stop the car at the front.
We get out and I pass the keys to the valet to park the car as Alex and I walk to the doors.
Waiting in the elevator, I decide to break the silence "Tonight is the International girls education charity gala, we were sent an invite to attend" I say
"I know, Anderson Tech has been one of the sponsors this past year" she says
"Uh yes, were you told about the request?" I ask
"What request?" she questions
"They asked if you could give a speech, as an ambassador for the girls around the world" I say
"A speech...? No I wasn't told. Il speak to Sarah about it" she says referring to her PA
"Of course" I answer
"I hate giving speeches" she says looking pale at the thought
We arrive at the office floor and make our way to our desks, getting to work. A couple hours pass by before 1 hear a knock on the door and I see Leila walk in "Mr. Anderson, there's someone here to see you" she says
I look over at my calendar, noticing no meetings with anyone.
"Who is it Leila?" I ask
She is hesitant to say the name "V-veronica sir"
I noticed Alexandra who was sitting at her desk.
immediately turning her attention to us at the mention of my ex-fiance's name.
"Should I tell her to come back another time or-"I cut Leila off
"No, tell her to come in" I answer
She nods and leaves the room. Alex doesn't say anything, but adverts her attention back to her work.
A couple seconds later, Veronica entered the room.
As soon as she sees me, she stands there in shock with tears in her eyes.
"Ace is it really you?" she asks walking closer to me
"Hi Veronica" I say with in a mono-tone voice, standing
She walks to me and pulls me in for a hug " Ace I never thought I would see you again" she says, crying into my shoulder
I look over at Alex who had an eyebrow raised, I tap
Veronica's back gently and after a few moments she pulls away, looking up at me. She caresses my face and whispers
"Im so happy you're alive, when I heard the news, I thought I was in a dream. You look, so different"
I give her a small smile and turn her attention to Alex.
"Veronica, I'm sure you've met my wife, Alexandra" I say turning to Alex
She comes closer to us and gives Veronica a fake smile
"Veronica, how lovely to see you again"
"Likewise" Veronica replies
Flashbacks from the night at the memorial gala come flooding in. when Veronica and Alex had their little fight. I know they didn't really like each other.
"You must be happy that Ace is back. I know I am overjoyed at this amazing news! I knew there was something familiar about you the moment I met you at the memorial gala.
Alex dear, Im surprised you never knew or found out Considering how much time you were spending with.. what was your fake name again dear? Oh that's right, Liam Wilson" Veronica says looking over at Alex
I could tell Alex was trying to hold herself from lashing out on Veronica who was testing her limits. Before Alex could reply, her PA Sarah walks in
"Oh sorry to interrupt, Ms. Anderson I just wanted to let you know that I confirmed with the gala for tonight that you will be giving a speech as well as participating in the fashion show for the dress auction" she says to Alex
"Fashion show? What? Sarah I thought it was only the speech" Alex asks, quite confused
"Oh you will be attending the gala tonight!? I will be to0,
I'm part of the fashion show" Veronica says proudly
I'm not sure if you recall, but Veronica was a model.
Actually, still is...
"Sorry Alex, I thought you knew. I can call them and tell them you're not interested in the fashion show, only the speech-" Sarah says, before she is cut off by Veronica, who turns to Alex, placing her hand on her shoulder
"I think that would be a better idea. I'm sure it will be quite difficult for you to participate since you have no experience in the modelling industry" Veronica says proudly, only adding onto Alexandra's anger
"No need Sarah, Im perfectly capable of participating in the fashion show" she says the last part looking at Veronica. She also pushes her hand off of her shoulder
"Please don't ever touch me again" she says with a fake smile
"Gladly" Veronica answers with the same fake smile
I break the intense silence between the two "Alright, I guess we shall see you at the gala tonight Veronica" I say and place my hand on Alex's lower back, bringing her closer to me, She tenses and turns her fake smile towards me
"Yes, see you both tonight" She says and says goodbye before leaving
As soon as the door closes, Alex Moves away
"you too... don't ever touch me again" she says pushing my hand away
I raise an eyebrow and try not to reveal my smile. She was so cute when angry
She starts to nervously pace around the room
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
🌺 Alex 🌺
The door closes and I turn around letting out a breath
"What I have I gotten myself into" I whisper to myself
"Really Alex, a fashion show!? Me in a fashion show!?
How did I agree to this. Stupid" I keep on muttering to myself, walking back to my desk
"Well that was quite a surprise..." Ace says also getting back to his seat
I give him a deathly stare
"If you ever need to talk to her again, please be sure Im not in the same room" I spit out
Ace only smiles and gets back to his work.
After a long day at work, it was finally time to leave. Ace insisted he drive me back home, and after a 5 minute argument, he ended up winning.
He parks in front of the penthouse "Thank you for the ride. Ill see you at the gala tonight?"
I question "I can pick you up" he says with a smirk
"No need...Ive got two cars no Mr. Anderson" I answer back and before he can argue with me, I quickly get out of the car and say goodbye
Entering the penthouse, all I wanted to do was sleep. I was exhausted. As soon as I take a seat on the couch,I hear a ring meaning someone was here. I look behind me to see who the hell was here
"Mrs. Anderson! We have missed you" says my hairstylist, with a makeup artist and a lady carrying wardrobe
"Oh- what are you guys doing here?" I question
"Sarah sent us as your fairy godmothers! Now take a seat as we glam you up for tonight's gala!" he says
Sarah... I smile and take a seat as they all start glaming me up
Not too long after, I was done! They put me into this beautiful yellow tea length dress with ruffles on the bottom, paired with a yellow purse. It was beautiful. My hair was down with big bouncy curls.
"Thank you so much guys" I say and give them a hug.
They were the best glam squad ever.
After they leave, I notice the pair of car keys that Ace had sent me, placed on the table. I grab the keys to the
Porsche and grab my things, heading on out to the gala.
I go down to the garage and notice the cars parked, got into the Porsche which I think I've only ever driven Once...
Starting the beautiful car, I drive out of the garage and to the gala.
Was I nervous about my speech? Yes. Was I scared at the thought of doing a runway for the fashion show? H*ll Yes!
But I push all these nerves aside and focus on one thing..
Alexandra Anderson will be arriving alone tonight b!tches and she's in styleeee.
There's NO ONE holding me back (Except for the fact where I'm still technically and legally married)
