Chapter 28
Alexander's pov.
Sitting behind the huge mahogany desk in my office, I let my swivel chair roll around. I was already done with the documents my assistant brought in a while ago and now, come to think of it...
Sofia has been acting different since morning.
Perhaps, it's because of the argument we had but I've let it all pass. It was so obvious when she walked passed me this morning without even saying hello, which is so unlike her.
I decided to give her a call, but surprisingly it runged and she didn't pick. Just then, the door swung open with a loud thud. My head snapped to the entrance and once our gazes met, she withdrew hers immediately and I swear I could hear her rambling something as she strutted over to her seat.
A few minutes later....
Unable to stand the silent treatment anymore, like fucking hell what is wrong with this gender. Always using the tiniest opportunities they get to seek attention all to themselves.
I rolled my eyes inwardly, wouldn't want her to see me doing that.
"Sofia?" I called. And with a low effort, she sluggishly darted her gaze to mine, arching a brow like there's nothing wrong.
"What?" A low nonchalant reply that says it all that she's definitely mad at me.
"Are you okay?" I asked but instead of a damn reply, she rolled her eyes and darted them back to the laptop's screen.
Fucking hell!
"Baby I'm talking to you....what the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you acting all strange and..." I sighed and face palmed myself.
"Fine, I'm sorry.... whatever it is, pls forgive me....so can you just end with the silent treatment already?" I said walking over to her desk and sitting at the edge of it, so close to her, leaving a little distance between us.
Staring into those beautiful ocean blue orbs of hers that always got me enthrailed. Those eyes that I can never say no to or refuse, just staring into her alone gets me spell bound. This is obviously the reason why I love her, she's beautiful, every damn thing I want in a woman.
"Alex..."
I cut her in, place my finger on her lips.
"I know you're mad at me, and I'm saying this now.... I'm sorry okay. It won't happen again.... okay what if I make it up to you? How about a dinner date tonight? What do you say?" I smiled.
She rolled her eyes, a faint smile showed on her lips and then she gave a sheepish nod.
"Fine, I...."
I shushed her up immediately with a my lips, and she signed softl. I savored her lips for a moment, but broke out of the kiss as we heard a knock on the door.

"Oh my goodness, I don't believe this"
"Why not, it's not Photoshopped. It's true, there's something going on between them. Trust me, I've always knew she wasn't clean and so.."
"And so what?" I cut in Jenna's words. She's a lower staff and also the head gossiper in her department. Her eyes widened and her mouth formed a fucking O as she turned.
"Mr Alexander... Good morning sir. I..."
She sucks in a breath as I shot her a glare, giving her a ounce over.... they all scurried out of my sight.
I stepped into my personal elevator, it was built for me and any person I chose to share it with me. It was quite different from the others as it only ends in a sundry location where my cars are usually packed.
As the elevator starts moving, my phone beeps. Now I know what exactly those two amateurs were fucking talking about.
I scrunched my brows as I peered my eyes at my screen. A news flash- a photo of Sofia standing close to Alaric and that motherfucker's hand was wrapped around her waist.
Shit!
Well, it doesn't seem as it looks. I know what happened here, I was present. Sofia decided to say hello to Alaric at that event, a waiter quaked her unknowingly and she tripped, but Alaric was too quick to hold her, stopping her from colliding with the floor.
Although I wasn't okay with his quick.
I scroll down, as I read the headlines. Whoever posted this on the media just want to ruin Sofia's image.
The fucking photo has already gone viral, I need to get it out before it does worse things. I wonder if Sofia has seen this already.
---
I had my hacker track down the person that posted that photo, already I have suspicions but I just need to confirm it before I take any action.
And once I got my feedback, my fucking anger knew no bounds.
I knew all along it was Annie, didn't need a genius to say it.
Not wasting anymore time, i walked down to her office.
She stared at me looking all innocent like she has done nothing wrong. But I know better.
I really despise clingy and rebellious women, they're very dangerous. She has overstayed her welcome, I'm tired of her rebellious devious acts.
This is the highest limits.
"You're fired, I don't want you anywhere around this premises or around me or anything related to me. Just get out." Without letting her ramble out any shit talk, I sauntered towards my elevater heading back to my office.
I noticed the secret stares of some of her coworkers but I honestly don't give a damn. The last thing I'd do is take nonsense from anybody, not when you're trying to bring my woman down.
I had the hacker named Mike take down the photo from the media before it causes anymore harm again. I knew she took the photo, I knew it was one of her stupid schemes.
As for Marie, I'd deal with her later. All I have to do is keep an eye on her and watch her display her madness.

I don't know how to explain to Sofia that I'm not comfortable with her mom because if I keep allowing that woman to do shits, I'm pretty sure I'd be shoved dog foods from Sofia.
