AURORA POV
I couldn't get over what Alex did to me and I was sour all through the day.
"Why do you have that look on your face?". Nina asked interrupting me and I sighed."You are not eating your food".
" I just lost my appetite".
"What happened? You have been sour all day, did you fight with Alex".
" Worst than a fight". I said.
"Hmm, you two are having a couple fights, you wanna tell me what happened? Is it about the hang-out the other night?". She asked and I nodded. " What? he got angry?".
"It would have been better, I got the hardest punishment of my life". I said and Nina pushed closer to me.
" What did he do to you, I want to know".
I sighed."Believe me, you don't want to know". I sip from my juice.
"Hmm, I guess the punishment was something annoying that's why you are pissed off".
" Exactly! He got me in the mood and left, saying is my punishment for disobeying him, do you know what it means to leave one caving for your touch". I gulp my drink angrily and Nina giggles. "Not funny, am suffocating here".
" Am sorry, I just can't help it, you mean he did that to you?".
"Yes, and right now I am not over it, I still need his touch over me and I am yawning for his kisses....Why does he have to have all the tricks to make a woman yawn for him". I grunts.
" I totally understand your pain, but that's too much, have you tried to get close to him today if--".
"The annoying thing is that he is not in the office, he had a business meeting to attend, I still wonder how he found out". I said confusedly.
" Am sorry, I guess is my fault, I was too drunk that I didn't know when I called Richard". she said and I turned to her.
"You did?". I asked and she nodded innocently and I sighed at her.
" don't be stressed about it, he will come around". Nina said.
"I don't care anymore". I said angrily.
" You know you can't hide it, you two are obsessed with each other and you can resist him".
"I will, I will overcome it, trust me". I smirk.
" Ok fine! Have it your way". Nina said and we went quiet for a while.
"What about you? how did it go with Richard?" I asked and she blushed "Something special happened between the two of you?".
" Yes". She nodded.
"Really? You guys finally did it". I said happily.
" Yeah, it was perfect and it felt like my first time, Richard is such a perfect and passionate guy". she said blushing.
"Aww, am so happy for you, at least one of us has to get laid".
" Yeah, but do you know he actually knows about my past with my uncle?".
"He knows? How?".
" He had to confront him two days after he was jailed and he said he told him everything and even regretted his action".
"Oh, he knew all these while, he is such a daring man, I am glad you two are together".
" I know right". We laughed and my eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar lady heading to Alex's office with a lunch bag."What are you staring at?".
"That lady". I said and Nina turned in the direction.
" Do you know her? She looks familiar".
"Yeah, she was in the hospital that day we came to visit Richard".
"Oh, but why is she here? And she is heading to Alex's office, I thought you said he is out for a business meeting".
" Yeah". I stood up. "Excuse me ". I rushed to her quickly when she tried to open the door. " Excuse me miss". I said politely and she stopped and turned in my direction. She looked at me surprisedly I guess she remembered my face.
"I know you, you were with Alex at the hospital when he came to see Richard". She said.
" Yes". I replied.
"Oh, you work here?".
" Yes, I do".
"Oh, I thought as much, anyway, am here to see Alex ". She turned to leave and I stopped her.
" He is not around, he is out for a business meeting".
"Oh really? But I just got off the phone with him before I left work and he said he was in his office". She said and I was surprised.
" He did?".
"Yeah". She stared at me for a while and spoke." Are you his secretary?". I nodded. "Oh, I see, I guess you are not doing your job well as a secretary, you should know when your boss goes out and come in". She said unlikely and walked away
I was stunned by her attitude and I rushed to stop her, but to my greatest surprise, I saw Alex in his office working on his laptop, immediately he saw her, he stopped to welcome her and they hugged and pecked each other before they sat down. I was pissed off and I had to go back to the canteen to continue my lunch.
" What happened?".Nina asked.
"Alex is in his office". I said biting my apple angrily.
" When did he arrive? How come you didn't know about it?".
"I don't know, he invited the lady over, how cunning can he be". I blunted.
" I guess is nothing serious going on between them".
"Really? She brought lunch for him, and I know right now they are having the meal together". I frowned.

Some minutes later, I returned to my office to see Alex walking the lady out of his office, I could see the smiles on their faces. "You are reading from www.mhiztaemy.com.ng"I sat down and started operating my laptop, after a while, Alex came over standing in front of me.
" Do I have any schedule today?". He asked and I ignored him pretending I didn't hear him."Aurora?".he called
" I will read it to you in your office". I replied without looking at him, I noticed his hesitation before he left for his office. I sighed and I took my iPad and left for his office and started reading the schedule for him."You will be having--".I got interrupted.
"Is something wrong?". he asked staring at me.
" what do you mean?".
"Your cold attitude towards me".
" No sir".
"Sir? Since when did you start referring to me as 'Sir'". He asked as he stood up and moved toward me." Are you angry?".
"No, if you don't mind, may I continue?". I asked and I continued reading. " And the remainder of your family masquerade party this weekend, that's all".
"Will you come to the party?".
" Yeah, I am your Secretary after all, so I go where you go, if you don't mind I would like to go back to work". I turned to leave, but he stopped me.
"Aurora, please don't be upset with me, if you are angry about Elizabeth coming to my office--".
I cut him short." No, I am not". I smiled forcedly at him. "If only you knew how miserable I am right now for making me cave for you, but I will wait to see who approaches each other first". I thought and walked away. I could still feel his gaze on me.

Later at home, I was helping my grandmother in the kitchen with the thought of Alex was still in mind, I refused him for a lift home today and I know he is restless why I am avoiding him, I just have to, for him to feel the pain I am feeling. I noticed my phone ringing to no-stop and I knew it was a call from Alex.
" Aren't you going to answer that?".My grandmother asked.
"No granny is not important".
" Are you sure? It could be from your company".
"No Granny, is just some random call". I said and took my phone from the dining." I will be in my room". I left.
NARRATOR POV
Meanwhile, Alex was feeling restless in his room as Aurora refused to pick up his call.
💬"Please pick up, I really want to speak to you". He texted and waited for a reply, but none but it was read. "Come on Aurora, I dying here if you don't respond to my messages or calls, am sorry if it was what happened at the office today, Elizabeth just came to share lunch with me at the office, nothing more, I don't have any serious relationship with her, please talk to me". He texted and waited for a reply, but none came from Aurora. he sighed frustratedly and fell on the bed staring at the ceiling. Then his cell phone rang, he checked the caller ID quickly and sighed thinking it was Aurora.📞" Hello Mom". he said as he picked up.
📞"Hello son, how are you?".She asked from the other end of the phone.
📞"Am fine, and you? How is Grandpa?".
📞"We are fine, how is Nora and the baby?".
📞"Fine mom".
📞"Good, I just called to check up on you and to also remind you of the party this weekend".
📞"I know Mom, I will be there".
📞"Sure, bring Nora along".
📞"I will".
📞"Good night son, I love you".
📞"Love you too Mom, good night ". He hung up and sighed.
•• Elizabeth's room••
Elizabeth was in her room and was on the phone with Spike.
📞" Yes, the party will be a better way to expose her dirty secret". She laughed."This is beginning to feel like fun, I can't believe she will do something like that, this will be her end, I deserve Alex better and I will have him all to myself". She laughed and then hung up. "This is just the beginning". She smirks staring at one spot.
The next day at the office Alex was so occupied with work that he didn't have enough time to settle with Aurora, the same goes for Aurora who was busy trying to put things together and they never had time to sit down and talk until Alex had to travel three days for a business trip, Aurora had to stay behind to handle the rest work.
