Chapter Seven

THE MASK SLIPS

As they got to the resort, Alex came down from the bus vehicle. The co-workers from the resort could see her come down from the vehicle. As they approached the door, they came into the resort. Alex's co-workers were asking her in a murmuring, slow, and small tone, "What happened?"

She shrugged her shoulders.

They thought she had gotten herself into trouble by coming to the resort very late, but they didn't know it was the other way around. On their way to the CEO's office, the CEO met with one of the co-workers.

"Tell the resort manager to meet me at once in my office," he said in an authoritative manner.

Alex followed him to his office and stood beside a chair in front of the table, which the CEO was seated upon, and was waiting for the resort manager to arrive. When the resort manager arrived at the office, the boss shouted at him.

"What took you so long to come to my office?" he said with an angry face.

"I'm sorry, sir. I was attending to a VVIP client."

"Is the client more important than my call?" he asked with an angry gaze.

Alex was shocked at what she heard. She had never seen the boss shout at someone in such a rude and arrogant manner.

He was so sweet and nice and romantic the past minute, but now he's such an arrogant and rude boss.

"Alexander is going to be my new personal assistant," he said.

"So, I want you to relay the message to the other co-workers and give her a space where she can know my schedules and make her understand what her job is all about."

Alex was still standing in her spot with her mouth open, looking at the boss, thinking about what she just heard. She was so bewildered by that, not about her new position, she never believed that the boss would have such an arrogant manner to talk to someone who was old enough to be his elder brother in such a manner.

As the resort manager left the office, Alex was still lost in space, thinking of what she just heard. A voice brought her back to reality.

"What are you still doing here, Alexandra Thompson?" the boss asked.

She got back to her senses, but then she realized that he had formally addressed her.

"Why would you talk to someone who is old enough to be your elder brother in such a manner?" she asked, filled with curiosity.

"I give orders around here, remember? And I can fire anyone I want, anytime I want," he said, without remorse on his face. Alexandra gulped down the saliva in her mouth and left the office hurriedly without looking back.

As she came out, the resort manager showed her a space, which was decorated and well-furnished with a laptop, office chair, and office table. There were some documents on the table and some files that they were supposed to go through. The resort manager showed her some places where the schedule of the boss had been written down and told her how to make adjustments when required.

Alexandra sat on the chair and started up the computer.

"Is this man playing me for a fool? Why would he show his rude attitude? Not just to the resort manager, but to me. He used a rude attitude on me." she thought as she started up the computer.

A few minutes later, the boss came out from his office and dropped a word for her.

"You are free to go. See you tomorrow at work, and don't be late to handle my schedules." He left the office immediately.

As soon as he left, Alex turned off the computer and decided to leave. She couldn't hold back but to tell her Mia about her incident, both the previous day and that same day.

The bustling neighborhood and noises of children playing were heard as she approached Mia's house. She knocked at the door, and Mia rushed to open the door. On entering the house, Alex was in a hurry to tell Mia about the incident. Mia was also anxious to hear it, because the expression on Alex's face showed her that something had happened.

"Spill the beans, girl! I'm so curious to know what this face you're making is all about," Mia said, as Alex was still settling her nerves and catching her breath to talk about the incident. Mia tapped her on her shoulders to help her recall her senses.

"Okay, girl, the thing is that yesterday, the boss called and decided to have a drink with me in an open place. I decided to meet with him. Then, when I came to the lounge, he wasn't there, but rather, a staff member took me to a room that had already been reserved for us. On getting to the room, I waited at the balcony, looking at the nice view, and suddenly, someone came from behind. Though I was sitting on the bed, he came closer to me and started giving me this deep and unforgettable kiss I could ever imagine." She paused to catch up her breath.

" Okay? What else?"

" I couldn't resist though I told him nothing will happen between us that day but I couldn't just resist him. He went on and on with the kissing and I could feel something drool from my vagina to my underwear. He pulled me up to the bed and I took control of the scene by pulling off his wears and giving him a blowjob." She paused again seeing Mia's evil smile.

"OMG, girl! I thought you said nothing was going to happen between you guys ever again? What happened? It hasn't been long since you had an issue with your ex-fiancé, and now you are already falling for this boss?" she asked giving her a sly gaze.

"I'm not falling for him, it's just that I can't resist it whenever I see him or whenever he touches me. I just can't resist it. I know the love is forbidden, so I don't even care whether he loves me or not. I just need to feel the same way I feel whenever I'm with him, but the feeling seems to be dropping after the attitude he displayed in the office today."

"I envy you. Your life is just so adventurous."

"He just walked into the office and was speaking to our resort manager in a rude and arrogant manner. That was the moment I knew that his romantic self had left him, because that wasn't the man I met at the lounge the previous night." She said with anger in her voice.

"Exactly, girl! Some guys are just chameleons, they tend to change depending on their environment. So, you don't have to blame the guy, since you say you're not falling for him. That's preferable, you can actually move on without being hurt."

" That's it, girl. His attitude is just bad" she said as she stood to get herself a cup of juice from the fridge.

Waking up to the chirping of birds and the sound of trees swaying left and right, Alex stretched herself on the bed and made her way to the bathroom to prepare for work.

On getting to her workplace, she greeted everybody around and went to her own space. But unfortunately, the boss had not yet arrived. She sat down and was going through his schedule when the boss came around with the lady from the lounge, whom Alex could recognize, but she felt they wanted to share business ideas. They entered the office. Suddenly, Alex saw on the schedule that the boss had an appointment by 9 o'clock AM, so she had to rush to his office to make it known to him. She forgot to knock, and upon entering the office, she met an astounding scene.

The boss was moaning slightly as the lady from the lounge gave him a blow job. The file in Alexi's hand fell to the floor, making everyone turn in the direction of where the book had fallen.
