Chapter 27 Twenty seven
Alexa hissed as she dropped her bag on the bed, sitting down angrily. Cassidy looked at her from where she was sitting on the ground, watching a movie.
Cassidy's phone rang and she turned it off again.
"Your Sam?" Alexa chuckled and she nodded as Alexa slowly slid to the ground beside her.
"I saw Ryder drop you off. You actually let him bring you home." Cassidy said.
"I knew you were just pretending to be watching a movie." Alexa hit her hard as she turned for Cassidy to unzip her dress and she removed it, without getting up, squeezing the material past her ass and of her legs. She dropped it in a bundle beside her and stretched her hand out while Cassidy passed her a large bowl of popcorn.
"So what happened?" Cassidy probed and Alex sighed.
"Liam was there, he came with Stella. Said something about breaking up with her and I don't know, I think I was just annoyed. I mean, he clearly said he had something important to do and I didn't expect it'll be hanging out with Stella." She explained.
"Did they look like they were hanging out? You clearly said Liam broke up with her. That's really important. Don't tell me that guy is trying to get back with you? You are not going to accept him!" Cassidy said and Alexa nodded her head.
"Of course, why would I? I passed through so much for three years." She said.
"So what do your say? Cheers to tormenting Liam for three years?" Cassidy smirked as she raised her own bowl of popcorn and Alexandra smiled, hitting hers with Cassidy's.
"Cheers." She said gleefully.
"Let's watch the movie." Cassidy said as she pointed at the movie.
"What's happening there?" Alexa asked.
"Gosh, a man kidnapped her and was torturing her because she had mistakenly killed his son in an accident..."
"Nice, so what!" Alexa blinked enthusiastically.
"Turns out he's her father, when she already started falling in love with him."
"Why would she fall in love with him in the first place?!" Alexa screamed and Cassidy looked at her shocked.
"He's a little bit nice."
"A little bit! All of them are just a little nice, like Liam. They are actually really bad!"
"I hope you find peace and understanding." Cassidy patted her friend's hair as she fummed angrily.
"You look so angry, like a demon. Why don't you take all this out on the cause?"
"Liam?" Alexa looked at her and she nodded.
"I heard there's a meeting with all design and fashion CEO's in the next two days. What do you say? Make him trip?" Cassidy licked her lips as she raised her brows a bit and Alexa grinned knowingly.
"Let's up it, girl," she bit her lips and gave Cassidy an high five.

"Good morning, ma." Doreen greeted as Alexa walked into the office with a smile.
"Good morning, Doreen." She said as she sipped her coffee slowly, sitting down on her chair.
"You seem to be in a nice mood." Doreen noticed and Alexa shrugged lightly, dropping her bag.
"Maybe it's because of the contract with Helix and Co."
"That's been signed days ago." Doreen blinked and Alexa cleared her throat, inserting her fingers inside each other.
"What do you want?" Alexa asked and Doreen pursed her lips, dropping the papers on the table.
"The awards committee wants to know if you'll be available on the day of the awards ceremony."
"Is it certain that they'll be calling me out?" Alexa asked and Doreen shrugged in reply.
"Dunno. But they want to know. If you will, check out those who'll be attending." She said, tapping the paper and Alexa hummed, shaking her head.
"It's the normal CEO and all that. I'm not interested. Yeah, what about the fake design we are going to leak out for SH Apparels. I need them to fall into my trap as soon as possible."
"It's ready ma'am. Just waiting for your approval to go on. Release it by today and let's wait for them to steal it," Alexa smirked, tapping her hands.
"I'm not only planning for you, Liam. Also for Stella." She folded her hands and Doreen bit her upper lips.
"Also, they are requesting a meeting by next tomorrow. Would you-"
"Ooh, I've heard about that. I'll love to go and I'll be wearing the dress that we are going to leak. Stella would wear hers too." She chuckled and Doreen nodded slowly as she walked out. Her boss was slowly going nuts,she had thought Alexa would refuse going to the meeting but she had accepted without even listening to her completely.
"You look worn out." Remi commented as she stared at Doreen.
"I'm really tired. The boss is acting really strange today and that's getting me worn out. It seems I've got older by a hundred days."
"Hundred years, you mean?" Remi joked and Doreen laughed.
"Can you help you relay the message to Boston, he has to release the design by today. We need SH Apparels to fall into our trap." Doreen said and Remi nodded.
"It's done."She said and walked away.
"Kill me, boss." Doreen collapsed on her chair.

"We need to prepare a lot of designs for the fashion walkway." Alexandra said as she pressed the button on the small device beside her and the picture on the projector changed.
"Blue gave us six designs, of which four is acceptable. He's really talented." She gave him a small smile and he chuckled.
"Thank you ma."
"I love three of Carol's and six of Remi's since she brought ten designs. For the rest of you, I haven't seen your designs and we need about twenty clothes. So we have thirteen already, I brought four too, so we need three more. I give you three days to make a design and drop it on my desk. Failure to do that, results in an indefinite suspension." She said seriously.
"This is a fashion show for Helix and Co. If we get this right, our company would make it to the top five, if we do not make it to the three. Making it to the top five is our dream, afterwards we soar to number one. So I want all hands on desk," she rested her hands firmly as she stared at them. "And I know we have good luck on our side."
