ALEXANDER POV
I drove Aurora home after rescuing her from those guys, she was fast asleep in the car and I had to carry her inside, her grandmother was surprised to see me carrying her granddaughter and she directed me to her room where I lay her down gently on the bed, take off her shoes and cover her with the blanket.
“Thank you for bringing her home”. She said smiling.
” You are welcome ma”. I replied politely.
“I know you before, you once paid for my hospital bill and even hired my granddaughter to work for you, I guess you are also her boss in the new company she got a job”.
” Yes”.
“Oh, you are so kind, thank you for helping my granddaughter”.
” Sure, please give her some green tea when she wakes up tomorrow morning and tells her to resume office by nine”. I said and she nodded.”Good night”.
“Good night”.
We bide each other good night and left for my car and drove off.

The next morning, I called Judith to my office, and I gave her a deadly look and she was smiling nervously and fidgeting with her fingers, I wondered why she was smiling like that.
” Are you this mean and evil?”. I asked furiously and I could see the surprised look on her face.
“What did you say, sir?”.
” You heard me loud and clear, I know what you tried to do to Aurora last night, you drug her and paid some guys to have a sex tape with Aurora”. I said angry and she was shocked.”How could you!”.
“That’s a lie, I didn’t do that”. She said trying to defend herself and I rolled my eyes at her. ” Please believe me”. She said faking tears.
“Will you shut up! I caught you red-handed and you are still lying to my face”. I stood up in anger and she fell on her knees quickly.
” Please sir, am sorry, I didn’t mean to do it”.
“Well, is too late, I won’t conduct such an act in my company, you are barely a day here and you are already creating problems, you know what, I want you to pack your things and leave this premises because you are fired!”.
” Please forgive me, am sorry”. She sobs.
“Too late, you are lucky I didn’t call the cops on you, now leave here before I do something drastic!”. I yelled and rushed out still trying to ask for forgiveness. ” Nonsense!”. I sat down and sighed tiredly.
An hour passed, and I kept staring out to Aurora’s office, it was already Time for her to check in, and I wondered if her grandmother told her the time she should resume. I kept looking at her office when I saw her walk in with her bag looking droopy, I wondered why she looked like that, I stared back at the tea I made for her on my desk, and then I picked up the telephone and called her to my office. She stood up and arranged her face before entering my office.
“Good Morning sir”. She greeted me cheerfully and I still notice how droopy she looked but she was trying to hide it with her smile.
” Sit”. I said and she sat down on the sofa. I stood up with the teacup moved to where she was and handed it over to her.”Drink this” She looked at me for a while and took the teacup from me, I sat down as I watched her drink from the tea.”Finish it”. I ordered and she drank all and placed the cup on the table.
“Thank you, sir,” she said
“You are welcome, it will relax your mind”.
” Okay sir, anyway thank you very much, my grandmother told me you were the one that brought me home”.
“Is nothing”. I smiled and then my eyes caught sight of Richard walking to my office but he stopped to look at Aurora’s office and I know he was wondering if I had gotten a new Secretary, then he entered my office.
” Bro, you finally got yourself a se….”. he held his words as his eyes met Aurora and I could see the surprised look on his face.
“You were saying something, has the cat got your tongue?”. I asked.
” Good Morning Mr. Richard”. She greeted politely as she stood up to leave and Richard waved his hand at her still in surprise.”I will excuse you two”. She left for her office and we stared after her.
“Tell me I am dreaming”. Richard said as he sat down looking at me.
” She is my new Secretary”. I said.
“What? Your new Secretary? How? Did you bring her here to be your Secretary?”. He asked and I sighed tiredly at him.” Talk to me, Man!”.
“I didn’t bring her here, she came on her own to apply for a job and she got it”.
” Wow, that’s good, your wish of seeing her and having her by your side has finally come to pass”. He grins at me.
“How do you mean?” I asked confusedly.
“You know what I mean Alex, stop trying to pretend, you and I know you like that girl”.
” Richard stop, you know I am engaged,” I said and he scoffed.
“Yeah right! If only they know how the engagement comes about, you can’t deny what you feel when you are close to her, and you changed totally because of her”. He said and I sighed not knowing the words to say to him.

AURORA POV
Some hours later, I was having my lunch in the canteen with the rest staff when kessy came to my seat and sat down with her food.
” Have you heard?”. She asked.
“Heard what?”.
” Judith got fired this morning by the boss”. She said and I was surprised.
“What? Why?”.
” Nobody knows, we saw her crying and packing up her things, we tried asking her what the problem was, and she said she was fired by the boss when we asked what she did wrong, she said nothing and walked away”. She explained and I was still surprised.
“That’s strange”. I sighed staring in one direction still thinking about what kessy told me.
After lunch I left for his office with some files, he was so occupied with work.
” Are you done with the files?” He asked raising his face to me.
“Yes sir”. I place the files on the table in front of him.
” Ok, I will make a cross-check on it later”. he said and continued what he was doing.
“Okay, sir”. I turned to leave, but I hesitated for a while thinking if I should ask him why he fired Judith.
” Is there anything else”. he interrupted me. I guess he noticed my hesitation and I turned to him.
“Um, no sir..i mean yes sir”. I sputtered.
He sighs and rests his hands on the table staring at me.
” Is there something you want to say to me?”. he asked.
“Yes sir”.
” What is it?”.
“Um, I got the news earlier today that you got Judith fired and–” I got interrupted.
“Yes I fired her, in case you are wondering what she did, I caught her doing something evil against someone, so, I have to fire her”. he said.
” Okay, sir”. I turned to leave, and he called back.
“Aurora”. he called and I turned to him.
” Yes, sir?”.
” Be careful, don’t take things from people you aren’t comfortable with, okay?”.
“Yes sir, thank you”. I gave a slight bow and left for my office.

NARRATOR POV
Later in the day, Alexander drove home, he was looking exhausted and he walked inside to see Nora arranging the dining table with food.
” You are back”. Nora said as she moved to hug him, but Alexander pushed back.
“Why are you here?”. he asked coldly.
” What is the meaning of that? I am your fiancee and I have the right to be here”. She replied.
“How many times will I inform you to let me know before coming”.
” Am sorry, I wanted to surprise you”. She said smiling.
“Well, I hate surprises”. he said.
” Ok fine, I won’t do it again, so, go freshen up and come down for dinner, I made your favorite”.
“Am not hungry”. He turned to leave.
” What is wrong with you, Alexander? Why are you treating me this way? I am your fiancee for crying out loud”. She said sadly.
“You are not my fiancee, I only agree to be with you because of my mother’s health, so, don’t try to take it seriously”.
” You are hurting me, Alex, please give us a chance, I love you, it has been a month and you still ignore me “.
“I am not having this conversation with you anymore”. He climbed the staircase and Nora’s words stopped him.
” Is it because of her? I know you are still thinking about that Aurora of a girl “. She voices out, Alexander ignores her and walks to his room. Nora sighed angrily.” This is all your fault, Aurora, you have completely bewitched him, I promise you won’t get away with this”. She said angrily and walked away.

~~Aurora’s Apartment~~
Aurora was in her room working with her laptop and a glass of milk was beside her on the bed, just then her cell phone rang and she picked it up without looking at the caller ID.
“Hello?”. She said on the phone and Alexander’s voice came through the other end.
” Did I wake you up?”. He asked.
“No sir, am sorry I didn’t know it was you”.
” No, is okay, but why are you still up by this time?”.
“Am trying to finish the project for tomorrow’s meeting”. She replied.
” Well, you can finish it after we return from a two days trip to Paris,” he said and Aurora was surprised.
“Two days trip to Paris?”.
” Yes, I got a call from one of the investors, he is launching his wine, so, I got an invitation, and you are coming with me”
“Ok, sir”.
” Get your stuff ready, I will pick you up by seven”.
“Alright, sir”.
” Good night Aurora”.
“Good night sir”. She hung up the phone and then turned off the laptop and went to bed.
