Alex returned home with the help of his guard, looking a bit tipsy. The guard assisted him inside, where Diva and Elora were surprised by his state.
"What happened to him?" Elora asked, rushing to Alex's side.
"Nothing happened to him, my princess," the guard replied. "He's just having a hangover."
"Okay, you can go now. We'll take care of him." Diva said and The guard bowed and left.
"Why did you drink, Alex? When did you start drinking?"Elora scolded.
"Can you stop yelling? I'm not drunk, I'm just a little tipsy. Get me a glass of water." He winced.
Elora hurried to fetch the water.
"Who did you drink with?"Diva asked.
"It was just me and Nathan,"
Elora returned with the water, and Alex drank it in one gulp. "I'll be in my room," he said, standing up.
"Let me assist you inside." She offered.
As Elora helped Alex to his room, Diva sighed and dialed Nathan's number on her phone. After a few rings, Nathan picked up.
"Hey," Nathan said.
"You and Alex were drinking, huh?" Diva asked.
"Yeah, we had a few," he replied.
"What happened? Why did Alex come home drunk?" She pressed.
"Let's just say he's got some feelings to deal with."
"I'll talk to him tomorrow. Take care, Nathan." She ended the call
Elora was assisting Alex to the bed. They fell onto it, Alex letting out a sigh as Elora was on top of him. She stared lovingly at him, caressing his face.
"Alex, don't you think this is the moment we get intimate?" she whispered.
"This isn't the moment. I need a cold bath to kill this hangover."
"But I want you now. It's been a long time since we've been close like this. I miss your kisses. Please, let's do it."She pouted.
"Elora, please, not now," Alex said, trying to sit up, but she remained pinned to his body.
"Don't you love me anymore? I'm hungry for you; please, Alex, take me," she whispered, her hands undoing his buttons.
Alex struggled to stop her, weakened by his hangover. Elora's lips trailed tender kisses across his skin, but he felt nothing.
"Elora, stop," he pleaded, trying to push her away.
"Take me, Alex. I'm all yours," she murmured, continuing her gentle assault.
With a surge of strength, Alex flipped her onto the other side of the bed.
"I can't!" he exclaimed, stumbling weakly towards the bathroom. He locked the door behind him.
Elora's anger flared as she rushed to the bathroom door, only to find it locked.
"Alex, open up!" she demanded.
"Go away, Elora," he replied from the other side.
"You can't do this to me; I'm your wife!" She protested, pounding on the door. Alex ignored her, and the sound of a shower filled the air.
The next morning, Alex woke up in the bathtub, where he'd sought refuge to avoid Elora the night before. He slowly got out and headed to his bed, hoping to catch a few more hours of sleep.
Meanwhile, Elora sat in Diva's room.
"Why does he keep refusing me? Even drunk, he still rejected me," she said, her voice tinged with sadness.
"Honestly, Elora, I think you're losing Alex."
"What do I do? He keeps avoiding me."
"If you want to get their attention, you have to do something drastic to get them to notice you."
"Like what?"
"Get pregnant, of course," Diva replied nonchalantly.
"Are you crazy? How is that even possible? Alex is barely touching me, and you're talking about getting pregnant?"
"We can come up with a plan," she said, her voice low and conspiratorial.
"What plan?" she asked, her eyes locked on Diva's.
Diva began whispering, her words barely audible, as Elora listened intently.

The next day, Naomi and Mia returned to the company. Mia headed straight to HR to finalize her return, despite Nathan already informing them. The HR representative handed her belongings over warmly.
"Welcome back," he said with a smile.
"Thank you sir".She thanked him and headed to her office.
Upon entering, she was surprised to see a bouquet of white roses and a box of chocolates on her desk. She placed her belongings down, wondering who could have sent them.
Meanwhile, Naomi entered her office, avoiding the murmurs and gazes from the staff. Inside, she found a stick of white roses and a box of chocolates.
"Olivia," she called out.
Olivia entered promptly. "Yes, ma'am?"
"Who delivered these to my office?" Naomi asked.
"I don't know, ma'am. Maybe it's a warm welcome," Olivia replied with a smile before leaving.
Alex returned to the company, escorted by his PA.
"What happened during my absence?" he asked firmly, taking his seat.
"Nothing much, just a farewell for the manager,"
"Okay, what's my schedule for today?"
"You have a meeting with the staff at 3 pm and a three-day trip to...," his PA began.
"Three-day trip?" Alex interrupted.
"Yes, you were supposed to go last week, but you weren't in the office".
"Okay, go on." His PA continued reading out his schedule.
Some hours later, The staff waited in the meeting room for Alex's arrival. When he entered with his PA, they stood up, and Alex gestured for them to sit. The meeting began, with Naomi focused on the illustrations on the board. Alex couldn't help but steal glances at her, unaware that she was oblivious to his attention.
After an hour, the meeting concluded, and Alex addressed the staff.
"That will be all for today. Right now, a new manager will..." Before he could finish, Diva burst into the room.
"There will be no need for a new manager because she is right here," Diva said, interrupting the meeting. "Hello everyone, meet your new manager, me."
The room fell silent, with staff members exchanging shocked glances.
Alex's face turned serious as he followed Diva into his office.
"What do you think you're doing?" he asked, taking his seat.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm doing what I should have done long ago. You should be happy I'm helping you with Dad's company." She smiled smugly.
"You never wanted to work here. What changed?"
"Things change. I thought it through, and I said, why not give it a try?"
"Is Mom and Dad aware of this?"
"Yes, Dad gave me the go-ahead, and Mom can't hide her joy when I told them I'm taking the manager seat."
"Listen, Diva...".He got cut short.
"There's no need to lecture me; I've read through the company policy."She said and Alex sighed. "Can I be shown to my office now?" Diva asked, Alex's gaze lingered on her, a mix of annoyance and disbelief.
Diva stepped into her new office, her eyes widening in awe at the lavish decor. Despite Alex's reservations, his father had confirmed her appointment as the new manager. Diva couldn't help but smile as she explored her new workspace.
Her secretary entered, greeting her warmly, but Diva's demeanor quickly turned cold.
"Who asked you to come in?" she snapped harshly.
"I am sorry, ma'am." She apologized profusely.
"Now get out and knock. When I ask you to come in, you come in." She said and her secretary rushed out to knock, waiting for a while until Diva asked her in. "Come in," she said finally.
The secretary entered, still apologetic. "I am sorry, ma'am."
"Let this not repeat itself again."
"Yes, ma'am".
What can I do for you?" She asked as she sat down with her leg crossed.
"I was given some files for you to work on by the boss".She said as she placed the files carefully on her desk in front of her..
Why am I the one to work on this? Don't I have an assistant?" She asked glancing through it.
"You do, ma'am. But the boss directed these files specifically to you."
"Let her do it, or rather, let her come to my office," she demanded. The secretary hesitated. "Why are you still standing there?" She yelled.
"I am sorry, ma'am, but these files were strictly directed to you by the boss."
"Are you mad? I said go and fetch me my assistant. How dare you question my order?" She said rudely.
"I am sorry ma'am".The secretary apologized once more and rushed out quickly.
"Rubbish!" She muttered under her breath,
