Alexander’ McGuire ~
The loud thunderous noise coming from the sky made me wake up from my sleep, I glanced by the window and saw that it was raining heavily, I got off the bed and walked towards the window that was open, I tried pulling the double shield down but the something caught my eye...I couldn’t make up what it was as it was extremely difficult to see what it was, I strained my eyes to see what was and suddenly paused on seeing what it was. A stray puppy.
I ran to my coat stakings and wore my rain coat, No puppy should be caught in this rain. I ran downstairs and opened the front door, “Mr McGuire! Mr McGuire!” I heard my house help Hannah yell and I groan, i ran out and opened the gate even with the rain still banging hard. Well somebody must have offended God.
I looked around and saw the puppy shivering crazily behind the trash can, I walked closer to it and bent down, Of course it was scared of me but I didn’t have the time to coax it into believing me so
I just scooped it, ignoring the whimpers and cry, I ran back to the gate and this time my gateman was awake “Sir!” He called out and I glanced at him, he looked at the puppy in my arms and shook his head “You went out to save the puppy?” He asked and I smiled even though it was freezing “Lock the gates.”
I told him and walked up stairs into the house, I could see Mrs Hannah pacing around the house worriedly “Mr McGuire! You scared me tremendously!” She shrieked and I chuckled “You choose to be scared, I only went out of thing little guy.” I say and looked down at the puppy whimpering in my arms “Can you please get-“ “A humidifier, a bowl of warm water and a warm wrap, got it.” She listed out and made him chuckle. She walked off while I placed the puppy on a couch, I pulled off the raincoat and shivered internally from being in the rain. I looked at the puppy that had retreated in it’s shell and smiled, Hannah came back with everything I asked her. I carried the puppy and placed it against the pet bed i owned. I put the humidifier beside the cold puppy and wrapped it up with the warm wrap. “You have to stop doing this Mr. McGuire.” Hannah says and I looked at her “Don”t start Hannah.” I said and looked at the puppy that was warming up, I stood up and looked outside at the crazy rain “Can you please prepare hot tea for me?” I asked and she nodded solemnly and walked off.
A sigh escaped my lips as I walked towards the window, I once had a dog Jax, I have had him ever since mom died when I was twelve years old but one day, he also died! Jax was more than my best friend but then again, nothing is permanent. Ever since Jax’s death I have rescued all kind of dogs that I could but just like Jax, they all left. “Here is your tea.” Hannah hands me the tea. I turn to collect it from her “What are you going to do with the pup?” She asked and I shrugged “It’s a stray dog, I will wait till it gets better and see what happens next.” I said and she smiled. “You should go to bed now Hannah, You shouldn’t be deprived of your sleep.” I said. “Very well sir, Please have a goodnight.” She said and I smiled “Goodnight Hannah.”

I looked at the puppy that had fallen asleep almost immediately, It was a brown toy poodle, so small yet so cute. A faint smile appeared on my face, I picked the pet bed and everything thing with it, I walked upstairs to my room and placed the bed on the floor, I sat on my bed and sighed as I stared at the puppy. I laid on the bed and covered myself with the duvet.
The next day I woke up and sat up on the bed, my phone started to ring and I picked it seeing that it was my father calling. “Dad.” I called out to him “Alex, how are you doing?” He asked and I smiled, he seemed the happiest since mom’s death and I was happy for him. Growing up I used to think that her death didn’t affect him since he never showed any emotions after hearing of her death, I hated him for not caring but one day, years after mol had died and I was nearly done with college. I got home and saw my unbreakable Dad weep uncontrollably, in his hands was mom’s picture. Mom was my best friend but I forgot that she was also his best friend.
“I’m fine Dad, How are you living your best life in NewZealand”
“Get me a cup of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.” I heard him say over the phone and smiled “I can see you are having the time of your life, Dad.” I said and heard him chuckle “Yes, son..” he said and went silent over the phone “I will call you back, I have to go.” He said and cut the call immediately.
I smiled and got off the bed, I looked straight at the pet bed and saw the puppy still laying there, “Good morning little guy.” I whispered and stroke it’s ear, I tried to look for a name tag but it didn’t have any. I could tell that the puppy needed a vet doctor. I stood up and walked to my bathroom, stripping off my clothes and stepped into the shower. I finished with my bath and walked to my closet, I could see the puppy’s eyes follow me about and I smiled. I picked out my French navy blue suit and a pair of derby shoes. I combed my brown hair back and knotted my tie. I looked at the mirror and smiled in satisfaction, My name is Alexander McGuire, 27 years of age and the only child of my parents. President of the Ashford Group of companies. My father founded the company but he retired years back once I got the hang of running things, The company wasn’t based on just one thing, We were diverse in different things, our branches were all over the globe with thousands of employees on the pay roll. I am the youngest billionaire in the world but I never put myself in limelight except it was extremely important that I did, hardly would you find a picture of me on the internet, I made sure to have my father attend all the social events as I am not interested in all of that. I sighed and walked back into the room, using my cologne and picked my phone. I glanced at the puppy and carried it in my arms, walking downstairs where I saw Hannah cleaning “Good morning Mr McGuire.” She greeted and i greeted her back. “I am going to work now, Can you call the vet doctor and have him check on this little guy.” I said placed the puppy on the couch bed “Here, please look after him.” I said and patted the puppy. “have nice day Mr McGuire.” She said.
I walked out of the house and hopped into my car, My driver had taken a leave after getting married and i was happy for him, I turned on the Ignition of the car and drove away towards the company.
A while later I arrived at the company and got down from the car, giving my car keys to a guard and walked into the extremely large establishment. I replied all the greetings I was getting and took the escalator up to my floor. I had fired my personal assistant after he was caught with the company’s fund. How shallow can some people be! I walked straight to my office and took a seat on the chair, I needed an assistant as soon as possible. A sigh escaped my lips as I looked at the pile of work on my table. My mind travelled back in time when I went to that club, just to wind away and relax but then my eyes caught someone, A lady with bright hazel eyes and long full brown hair, her full plump pink lips drew me in. I couldn’t remember much from the night as I was drunk but her face was forever stamped and stapled in my heart. Her beauty was unique, She looked like a fairy but a fairy with an extremely sharp tongue. A knock on the door jolted me back to reality and I shook my head. There was no need thinking about the past, she left even before i woke up.
“Come in.” I called at the door and Peter walk in “Good morning sir, The applicants are here for the interview.” He said and I raised my eyebrows “Applicants? Interview?” I was more than confused. “You asked to look for another assistant for you and we scheduled an interview for today.” He said and I groaned internally. “Fine, Give me a few minutes.” I said and watched him walk out.
Well I better get ready for the interview.
Adeline Monteiro~I had slept in the cramped up place of Eva and the rest of her roommates but since I wasn't all that comfortable with it, I woke up early and was able to have my bath, I wrapped the towel around my body and walked back to the room, Selina and Eva were both entangled which only made me chuckle, This isn't the first time I will be sleeping over at Eva's place but then it wasn't like I am a frequent visitor. I pulled my bag and began to dress for the day, I could only hope that I got the job. I wore my clothes and pulled down my hair from the ponytail that it was in. now out of all the features of my body, I loved my hair the most and took care of it like my baby. I have long wavy brown hair that didn't need much work to get it bouncy. I brushed my hair and applied lip gloss to my dry lips. I was done dressing up and looked at Eva who was still sleeping and snoring. I bent over slightly and tapped her so she could wake up but of course, I needed a whole serenad
ChapterI couldn’t understand exactly what was happening? Why was he here? “Y-You!? You are him? Him is you?” I shook my head, This couldn’t be possible “Mr hot specimen?” I blurted out and his eyes widen “I see, Is that my name?” He asked and I shut my eyes closed. Now there was no way in hell I would be getting this job. “See, I’m really sorry about that night.” I rushed out “You are sorry that we spent the night together?” He asked and I shook my head “No, that’s not what I meant,” I saw him smirking and facepalmed myself “I mean, I’m sorry sir, I didn’t mean- oh goodness,” I was making a complete fool of myself while he sat there enjoying the show. I was done making a fool of myself, I stood up “I’m sorry, I have been wasting your time.” I said dejectedly and attempted to walk away “Aren’t you here for the interview?” He says and I paused, turning to look at him “Have your seat and let’s g
"Adeline! Adeline! Adeline!" I heard someone call my name repeatedly and I looked up sleepily at who was calling me, "Eva!? what is the issue?" I cried out and she placed her palms against my mouth, as though she wanted to silence my existence. "You have a call." She said and gestured at the phone in her other hand. "What?" I gestured, raising my shoulders up and down. She removed her hand from my mouth and gave me the phone. I collected it from her and raised my eyebrows. "Hello.." I murmured into the phone and waited for a response. "Ms. Monteiro?" A female voice says and I looked at Eva puzzled "Who is it?" I mouthed and she shrugged "I don't know." She mouthed back. "Yes, It is me? How can I help you/" I asked "I am Daniella, calling from Ashford group of companies. I am calling to officially tell you that you have been hired to work with us as the personal assistant, We have sent you a mail to let you know and also all the information you will need about your job and the remune
Alex~I was done with work for the day but still hadn’t left the company, My mind was still pretty stocked on seeing the same lady, The same one that has been on my mind for some day, I saw her in the flesh in my company. I could hardly remember what had happened that same night but yes I am wanted it to happen again. Seeing her today brought back the night.My office door flew open and I looked to see who had barged into my office. Ricardo! Wasn’t he supposed to be in Vegas? Why was he still here in Manhattan?“Rossi, what are you doing in my company?” I asked and he rolled his eyes “Such a way to welcome your beloved best friend? You’re such a friend.” He said and I chuckled “Aren’t you supposed to be in Vegas?” I asked and he collapsed on the couch, I stood up and walked closer to him “I am so tired of working
Adeline~Okay so today I resume work at Ashford group of companies and well am I hyped about it, Yes I am. Am I bold and confident about it? No I am not.I mean I feel like I would fuck up and be sacked again but then if there was one thing I will do, It will be that I will give it my best.I got off the bed and walked into my bathroom, Now most of you will only remember Mr Wendy cutting off my water supply but then again yesterday when I got back to this hell hole, the water was running and I was able to store about two buckets of water. Apparently Mr Wendy had travelled about a day ago for his relative’s burial and won’t be back till a week’s time. See how God works.I finished with my bath and walked back to the room, taking out
Adeline~I looked around my office again and smiled in satisfaction, This is my office. My office! "In your face Mr. Brandon.! " I yelled internally and dropped my bag on my table, taking a seat on my chair as I rolled around, the happiness I felt at that moment could definitely not be destroyed even by Uriel. The door to my office opened again and I stood up immediately. Daniella came in with a smile on her face and passed the balm to me. "Here, it should reduce the pain and also the purple shade." She said and passed it over to me. I collected it and smiled at her 'Thank you." I say and she smled at me, Daniella was an extremely beautiful lady, she had the kardashian body type and Emma Watsonkind of beauty. She walked out of the office and I opened the balm, applying the yellow mixture gently on my wrist, I cursed Uriel internally for giving me such a bruise. I stood up and looked at my office again, My office wasspacious with white marble tiles, a large bl
Alex~My eyes were trained on her figure as I looked at her working, I only asked her to arrange the shelf because I wanted to see her, I didn't want her to leave so soon. Earlier when I arrived Daniella had informed me about what Uriel did today. I was livid! Uriel was like a leech, a pest! one of those family members you just have to help because of their numerous problems. but you see the thing with Uriel is that she is adopted and because of that she thinks she has a chance with me or any rich man. It was sickening and absolutely disgusting to see her trying to seduce me. I mean she is my cousin adopted or not but apparently only I think of that, she doesn't. "I am done with the work sir." I heard Adeline's voice which brought me out of my thoughts, my gaze returned to her as she stood awkwardly in front of me. I looked at the shelf she had arranged and sighed, I couldn't ask her to do anything else. "Perfect, Daniella will give you more lessons so you unde
e~My insides were churning with excitement from being beside him, we both were trying to stay away from the fact that we literally had sex once and now I am hisemployee. I looked ahead and realized that we were almost at my house. "I am okay here sir, my house is just around the corner." I said and he glanced at me "Is thatright?" He asked and I nodded "Yes sir." I replied and he parked the car "Okay, have a goodnight, Adeline." He says and I smiled "Thank you, have a goodnight sir." I saidand got down from the car, My heart was beating so fast on hearing him call my name. 'Adeline' I loved how it rolled effortlessly. I sighed and watched the car drive off.Now I lied, my house isn't around the corner but I was scared he would or might see someone like Mr. Wendy who would embarrass me in front of him. I called Eva onmy phone and she picked up almost immediately "Bitch, how was your first day.?" She asked and I thought about it, How was my first d
