Chapter 3

"Alexis call the Romano Hanger and tell them to get a private plane ready for the boss." Charlie said. He was standing in front of Alexis desk in her office.

"Ok" Alexis replied

"And darling pack your bags you are following the boss to Dubai for business" Charlie said and he left leaving Alexis in shock.

"What!!" She exclaimed. "Me? Dubai?"

"What! You are going to Dubai?!!"Mia exclaimed

"Yeah. But for business though" Alexis said with a smile.

"So?? You still get to go to Dubai. And with your hot boss." " I wish I had your life right now." Mia said

"Whatever. Help me pack we are leaving tomorrow morning."Alexis said.

"How are you going to get to the plane?" Mia asked bringing out Alexis suitcase from her closet.

"A driver is coming to pick me" Alexis said bringing out some clothes from her closet.

"How many days is the trip?" Mia asked. She was folding the clothes

"A week"

"You'll be gone for a week? I'm gonna miss you" Mia whinned.

"Yeah whatever."

Alexis took her luggage and her purse, the driver was outside already. She dressed casually but still look pretty. She wore a blue and black coloured, three piece outfit. An hooded pullover, a tank top and a splicing jogger pants. She complimented it with a blue and black leopard designed fleece lined ankle boots with a comfortable platform and a side zipper with a pointer toe and air cushion heels. And she packed her hair up.

She stepped outside with her luggage. The driver came out and helped her with her luggage. He opened the door for her. She was surprised to see Alejandro in the car with another dude sitting at the passenger seat.

"Good morning Mr. Romano" Alexis greeted. And Alejandro replied with a grunt.

The driver came around and entered the driver side and he started driving.

"Hey" The guy at the passenger sit greeted.

Alexis smiled. "Hi"

"I'm Brandon Miller. I'm a friend of your boss" Brandon said introducing himself.

"Alexis Sierra." She said with a wider smile.

Someones phone beeped. It was Alexis.

"Oh God" Alexis said annoyed underneath her breath. She had no idea Alejandro heard her. Then her phone rang. She groaned a little. She declined the call. But it rang again. But she picked this time.

"What the hell do you want?" She said as low as she can immediately she picked.

"You know you really got some nerve dialling my number" Alexis whispered into the phone with a deadly tone. Which surprised Brandon and Alejandro.

Alexis scoffed and she ended the call.

"Anything work related?"Alejandro asked.

"No. Family issues" Alexis said with a bitter smile.

The trip to Dubai was a really silent one. Alexis went through all the files needed. She was in a really terrible mood and everyone could notice.

They got to the hotel. Imperial hotel. "Your rooms are ready Mr. Romano." The hotel attendant at the reception area replied. She was batting her lashes and she talked in a really flirty tone. Which irritated Alexis.

"Cheap whore." Alexis said silently but loud enough for Alejandro to hear and he chuckled. Alejandro's bodyguard collected the key from her and he lead the way to the elevator with the rest following behind.

"Are serious right now? What do you mean the presentation isn't ready??" Alexis ranted. She was on a call with the head of the marketing department.

"It's ready but we just need to add some effects and ideas to it." The other person on the phone said, from his voice you could hear that he was scared.

"Now listen up you have 10 minutes to send the presentation to my Laptop or you wouldn't like what the C.E.O will do to you once he finds out." Alexis said and she ended the call.

"Why is everything just so frustrating today?" She said. It was more of a statement than a question. She groaned out loud almost screaming.

Their was a light knock on her door. "Who the hell is that now" She said not so loud as she stomped to the door. She opened the door and she saw Brandon. She straightened up immediately and wore a fake smile.

"No need to pretend. Is everything all right with you?" He asked concerned.

"Yes. Why not??" Alexis said with a wider smile. Brandon didn't believe that for a second.

"Ok. Alejandro ordered dinner in his suite and he told me to come get you." Brandon said.

"Ok. Just give me a little time I need to change I'll come meet you their." Alexis said with smile.

"Ok. See you" Brandon said turning his back to the door. Alexis shut the door a little too loud.

"I think something is bugging your assistant" Brandon said as he entered Alejandro's suite.

"Oh I know. " Alejandro replied. He was sitting on the couch operating his phone.

"Then why aren't you doing anything about it?" Brandon asked settling beside him.

Alejandro looked up and smirked. "It's none of my business."

"Yeah. Forgotten you're a cold hearted prick." Brandon said.

" Whereas she's more efficient this way. Looks like she likes to bury herself in work when she gets angry and that's exactly what's she's doing. Making things faster for me." Alejandro said with a smirk.

Brandon just stared at him in shock. A light tap was heard on the door. "Room service" Someone announced. Brandon stood up to get the door.

"Just leave it over there." Brandon said gesturing to a place beside the couch.

Alexis knocked on Alejandro's suite. She had changed into something more comfortable. Brandon opened the door. It was obvious that Brandon admired her beauty.

" Come in." Brandon said. Moving a little so she could enter.

"Thanks" Alexis said.

They all sat round a mini table. With food displayed on it.

Brandon pulled out a chair for Alexis.

"Thanks" She said with a smile.
