Chapter 29 Twenty nine
"What? You guys broke up!" Mr Blackwood couldn't believe his ears, same as the others. Alexandra sat down on her chair calmly as Cassidy leaned closer to her.
"You don't think he spilled it to impress you, do you?" She asked and Alexa sighed lightly as she drank her wine. Her eyes met with Ryder's and he winked, making the drink go the wrong way.
She coughed and she immediately saw three napkins stretched towards her. One from Cassidy, another from Ryder and the last from Liam.
"Thanks," She collected the one from Cassidy and cleaned her lips and also the table where a little had been split.
The chatter that caused made no one notice the absence of Stella. She walked out of the elevator, her palms wrapped tightly into a fist.
She cursed underneath her breath as she got into the car, hitting the steering hardly.
"Shit!" She hissed loudly as she clenched her teeth, anger visible from her eyes, like arrows.
"I'll kill you, Alexandra. You and those d@mned twins of yours."
"Let me take you home," Ryder proposed as they got out of the meeting room and Alexa shook her head politely.
"I came with my best friend, she's over there." She pointed.
"I know, she was the one who defended you. It seemed like a planned work though." He commented and Alexa frowned lightly.
"Don't feel bad, see, I supported you too. I like things like this. It's good for a woman to know how to fight without violence." He smirked and she laughed a little, until she saw Liam approaching from behind Ryder.
"Hmm, I have to go." She said quickly and turned, walking away. Liam rushed towards her immediately but Ryder was quick to catch his arm.
"Can't you see she doesn't want to talk to you?" He asked and Liam scoffed lightly, shoving him off.
"That's none of your business."
"Stop being clingy. She doesn't even look your way. I saw the way you guys behaved the other day. She clearly doesn't want you near her." Ryder said and Liam swiped his tongue over his teeth as he scoffed again.
"And who are you to define our relationship?" He asked.
"One of her admirers. It's better she's comfortable with me, isn't it? She clearly hates you." Ryder chuckled as he walked away, shaking his head.
Liam folded his hands angrily, biting his lips as he stared at Ryder leaving. When he looked at Alexa's direction, she was no longer there and he sighed in disappointment. If she keeps on avoiding him this way, he'll never be able to get an apology out.

"Did your see the way Stella looked? She was pale as a virgin ghost." Cassidy laughed loudly as the car swerved into Alexandra's house.
"I saw." She said as she hopped down from the car, a deep breath escaping her lips.
"What's wrong with you?" Cassidy asked as she hopped down from the car, swirling her keys in her hand.
"You look down."
"Guess I'm just tired from all those..." Alexandra waved her hand tiredly as she got into the house and walked upstairs, Cassidy at her heels. She peeped into the children's room and they were asleep already, the light off.
She had her bath quickly and climbed into bed, while Cassidy had hers. After their bath, Cassidy tapped her.
"Now spill it up, what's wrong?" She asked and Alexandra sighed deeply.
"You don't like how your revenge went?" She asked.
"Not that. Besides,it wasn't a revenge,it was a plan to make SH Apparels stop stealing my designs." Alexa shot.
"Why are you so worked up?" Cassidy scoffed, "Better tell me what's going on here."
"You don't think Liam and Stella broke up because of me, right?" Alexa finally asked and Cassidy raised her brow, a snicker forming on her lips..
"Is that your concern?" She asked and Alexa pouted.
"Girl, you came back to cause a big shake in Liam's life. If you can't do something as trivial as scattering his relationship with the girl who scattered yours, I wouldn't be your friend anymore right now." Cassidy said and Alexa scoffed lightly, as she laid down back.
"Don't you think he'll start chasing me back now that Stella is out of his life?"
"The point is to chase you back. If he doesn't, he's a fool."
"I don't understand, who are you rooting for?" Alexa threw her a pillow.
"Whoever melts your heart first." Cassidy said thoughtfully and Alexa scoffed,
"Look at the way you are acting like an angel." She muttered and Cassidy hugged her.
"I'm your angel." She said, tightening the hug. Alexa was almost suffocating when Cassidy's phone rang and Cassidy released her.
She picked up her phone and a sigh left her lips when she saw the contact.
"Just pick it up, the guy's really desperate." Alexa motivated and Cassidy sighed, swiping the green button.
"What the hell do you want from me? Are.you as stalker? Why do you fall at every single moment? I keep on ignoring your call so why the hell will you not leave me alone? I mean, was that the first one night stand you had with a girl? Was I the first lady for you to have sex with, you piece of trash!!" Cassidy was breathless by the time she stopped ranting and Alexa patted her back slowly.
"Yes," came the soft reply from the other end and the two ladies looked at each other. Cassidy opened her mouth to speak but no words came out, so she cleared her throat instead.
"Would you like to meet with me?" He asked calmly again.
"I don't meet with my one night stands." She replied and Alexa hit her hardly.
"This is why I always tell you to keep your legs close." She mouthed and Cassidy shrugged uninterestingly.
"I see," the guy replied again and she pursed her lips.
"Then I'll meet with you instead."
"What, how?"
"You'll find out."
"You-" And the line was off.
"What the freaking hell is this?" Cassidy threw her phone.
