Chapter 10
Marie's POV
Everything about Sofia's piss me off.
Thh audacity!
How dare she?
I can't even imagine that she could talk back at me no matter what the situation maybe, she had grown wings and I would surely cut it off.
I've loved and always wished Alexander would get married to me but ... NO!
He choose that loser instead of me.
"You have to calm down, it's clear he doesn't like her. I think she's just a side attraction." Amelia said trying her best to coax me.
" I don't care! Sh hasn't even started earning enough and she's looking this posh... She's would definitely steal the heart of Alexander away when she starts making enough money." I whined.
I seriously do not care how selfish I sound right now but please, let me be selfish for once, it's not a harm afterall.
"Marie, you know it's not late to get the heart of Alexander if you want right? But you can't do that with violence, you have to thread softly and trigger Sofia while she act like the bad person." Amelia stated.
Wait, what?
What does she mean?
" Hold on, so in essence you're calling me a bad person? " I asked angrily with one hands on my waist as I waited for her answer.
" Uhmm, I never said that. " She replied and scratched the back of her neck awkwardly.
" Then what do you mean? " I reprimanded.
" Nothing, just be cool and stop over reacting. " Amelia suggested in a high pitched voice and walked away.
" Make sure you go to Alexander's office and practice what I've taught you." She mumbled while walking out.
I was forced to run after her and drag her back.
"What?" She questioned obviously angry and with a creased brow.
"Do you have to say that aloud?" I interrogated.
" I wasn't loud, and you should know that's how I sound." She replied in a whisper.
Is she kidding me?
What's wrong with this girl?
" Are you kidding me right now?" Surprisingly, I blurted out a question and she wobbled her head side to side.
" Then what do you mean by that's how your voice sounds when you obviously whispered to me right now?" I complained.
" Ah, what a headache." Amelia mumbled and pressed on her forehead.
"Can you just go into his office already." She asked abruptly.
Oh damn!
Those words I dreaded to hear.
I gulped nervously remembering Alexander's stern and Stine cold face. I make people feel like I'm really close to him but that's a big fat lie. At times I hope he'd at least notice me, even for once.
"What are you waiting for?" The voice of Amelia rang in my head jolting me back to reality.
"Ahhh." I screeched in shock.
"Get going you dumbass." She stated and motioned but I was still.
"What's wrong with you today?"
The actual things wrong with me is the fact that you're still here. Do you know how I practice just to go into his office? I screamed in my head of cousin I would never say that loud.
I feel guilty for not telling Amelia about this for a long time now. Maybe she would help me out and look for a solution together with me.
"Nothing is wrong with me Amelia....go away now!" I stated and she half shrugged, walking away immediately.
I paced around in the hallway wondering if going to Alexander's office would be a great idea but at the same time, I feel it would.
Nothing can stop me this time. He's handsome but no matter how he decides to keep his face, I'd only think if the handsome part of him.
Dragging my hair up, I used the mirror in my handbag to arrange my hair. I packed my hair up but decided to let it pour and I know it accentuates my beauty more.
Alexander doesn't know what he's missing, I get this crazy urge to open his eyes ajar but before I even try to touch him, I'd be a dead meat.
I walked majestically into the elevator that would take me to the penthouse which is where Alexander's office is located.
After knocking for few minutes without receiving any reply, I had to forcefully push the door open and got inside by myself.
"What are you doing here?" Came the loud domineer voice of Alexander out of the blues.
I didn't expect to get interrogated like that therefore, I was tongue tied.
"I..I uhmm.…." I stuttered finding it difficult to place any word to use for my statement.
"When did you suddenly turn dumb? Huh? You've always had a very sharp mouth so what the hell is happening now?" He asked sarcastically making me regret why I made the decision of even coming In the first place.
" Well, since you're here you'd help me work on some files." He grumbled.
My heart skipped a but but I couldn't discern if it was for happiness or something else.
" But si—" I wanted to say something but he cut me off making me stop my statements.
" You're not going downstairs to work. You'd stay here with me so I can understand and direct you well." Alexander Rutherford ordered.
Gracious lord!
I want to scream..... This is probably the greatest news I've heard today.
I've been dreading for this day but finally came through without me stressing much.
While we are working together, I'd make sure I take photos of him so I can show to Amelia. No matter how she tries to deny it, I know she's crushing on Alexander, my Alexander.
I'd take a jpg and post it on our group chat in Whatsapp so everyone can see it including the bitchy Sofia.
Anyone who gets to stay in Alexander's office and work with him is privileged and might get a bonus during salary disbursement but mine would be seen in a different angle.
I can't wait for everyone to start seeing me as the bosses fiancee.
