Episode 16
Scarlet’s Pov ~~~
He opened the door and a beautiful woman entered inside the ap@rtment with a warm smile. She is tall; have wavy brown hair paired with honey brown eyes.
She was carrying few bags along with her and gave Alexander a warm hvg and then turned towards me with an amused look.
“Uh….did I interrupt something?”
She asked with an eyebrow raised at us.
“Yes. No!”
Alexander and me we both exclaimed together and then looked at each other. The women started laughing and she pu-ll-ed me into a warm hvg.
I was blu-shing like hell.
“You are so beautiful in person. Oh… sorry… I am Estelle, Ashton’s wife.”
She said with a sweet smile.
“Ashton is my elder brother and they have two kids.” Alexander said while looking into the bag which was brou-ght by Estelle.
I nodded and was about to introduce myself but she cut me off.
“I know Scarlet you are his PA. I hope he is treating you well dear.” She narrowed her eyes at him.
“Yes.” I said quic-kly..
“Why did you want to meet me?” Alexander asked Estelle while offering her a glas-s of orange jui-ce.
She took it from him happily and took a sip of it and replied,
“Oh…umm…Actually I c@m£ to inform you that mother has called us all for dinner tonight and bring Scarlet as well along with you.”
“Me?” I asked with a surprise.
She nodded with a smile.
“Okay. We will be there. Now, we have to go to office so hurry up and get re-ady.” He gave me the bag and I went into the be-droom to change.
After half an hour we all got into the car and on the way I got to know that Estelle is an interior designer and love to do shopping. She loves Ashton and her kids a lot as she told me little things about them which brou-ght hvge smile on her face. She is such a down to earth person and we instantly bec@m£ friends.
We dropped her and said our goodbyes and headed to our office for work.
Ava greeted us with a smile and I acknowledged her with a hi while we entered the office together.
I was sitting in my cabin and doing my own work while he was in his cabin, doing his own work. We haven’t spoken about anything regarding previous night or about today’s k!ss. During my short break I called up Taylor to inform her that I am fine and will be back late as dinner is at Mr. Pearce’s place.
It was all work and in the end of the day I was exhausted. It was time to wra-p up and head for dinner.
We reached his household and I was
in awe with the two little adorable kids who ran towards Alexander.
“Hey, easy there little devils.” He held up both of them and placed k!sses on each of their cheeks. They k!$$£d him back together.
Woah….Who is this person? What happened to my boss?
He is so different and easy going with kids.
So cute!
Mrs. Pearce c@m£ rushing towards us with happiness spre-ad across her face. She hvgged me first with warmth and I felt … like she is my mother. I love the way she is -Beautiful, Loving and a very Caring mother.
This as-s-hole of my boss is so lucky to have her as his mom.
She smiled and enveloped him in her arms. He k!$$£d her on the forehead and we entered home.
We all greeted each other and then sat down for dinner. The kids were adorable and they instantly bec@m£ my friends. They even invited me to pl@ywith them. After sometime they got tired and fell asleep.
Mr. Pearce, Ashton and Alexander were busy talking about work. While Mrs. Pearce, Estelle and I were having conversation regarding new gossips and stuff.
Later on, Ashton, Estelle and kids left and I was still here with Mrs. Pearce.
‘Mrs. Pearce do you want me to help you with anything?”
“No dear, it’d fine I will clean all these dishes. You must be tired with all work.
I know. Working with Alex is difficult. But he is a softy at heart and different from among us.”
“Yes. He is. Different.”
She smiled. But soon her expression changed and a painful look took over her face.
“Mrs. Pearce is something wrong?”
“He was so happy before and now he is so closed off, since his last relationsh!pit all changed. She ruined him and now he has immersed himself in work.
We were so worried about him and hence made him stay with us. I didn’t like the way he suffered all alone in his ap@rtment, all drun!kand p@rtying.” She said with tears in her eyes.
“Mrs. Pearce. It’s alright.” I placed my hand on her shoulder and comforted her.
“Oh dear, plea-se drop the formalities and just call me Annie.” She said lovingly while wiping away her tears.
“Annie, don’t you worry your son is a very good man.” She hvgged me and k!$$£d me on my forehead.
“I know….and he is a bit different now. Much happier than before and I know the reason why.” She said with a smile while holding my face with a look which I couldn’t decipher.
*******
After a while, Alexander dropped me at my ap@rtment. We never spoke a word with each other. He just drove away.
But I was totally occu-pied with all the thoughts about him.
He has plagued my mind with his images and actions.
And all I could feel and imagine is his softl-ips on mine.
Well, Taylor wanted to know everything about what happened since that night at the charity event and I shared with her all of it but not in detail.
She was way too happy and excited about me and him.
But I am not.
I don’t want to get into a relationsh!pwith him………
Alexander’s Pov~~~
I want to see her.
Damn!
It’s Sunday, I hope she is home.
The night when I was drun!kand angry at her for being with someone else I realized that I want her to be ……Only mine.
I was worried as she was nowhere to be found. Then when I saw her standing with that guy made my blood boil and so I dragged her away from him.
I was so jealous. Yes. Because she was smiling when she was with him and looked happy. It’s not the same way when she is with me.
I know, I tend to lose my calm and temper but I do apologize for that…. right?
I want me to be the reason of her smiles and laughter.
I want to make her happy and…..
Oh god! What is wrong with me?
What have you done to me Scarlet?
I am going insane now!
I just…. I just wanted her to be with me, so I took her to my ap@rtment.
She was looking so gorgeous in that dress and I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
I don’t know what took over me that when I looked into her eyes, I had an urge to k!ssher so I pu-ll-ed her towards me and k!$$£d her light pinkl-ips.
Herl-ips were so soft and k!ssable that I couldn’t st©p myself but she pushed me away and I didn’t wanted to st©p.
I wanted to t©uçh her. I was on t©p of her but she looked scared and reluctant.
I don’t want her to be scared of me. I don’t want to hurt her in anyways.
I just want to be with her and make her happy. I want to see her smile and that twi-nkle in her eyes.
She is different from all the other girls that I have ever met in my life.
She is simple, considerate, efficient, smart, and beautiful and the list goes on.
And I have this feeling that I don’t want to lose her in anyway.
I have never felt this way before, not even with Cherry.
I really don’t know what exactly this feeling is towards her. I want to figure it out myself.
I want her to be with me.
I nee-d to talk with her right away.
I gr@bb£d my car keys and headed over to her ap@rtment.
Damn I miss her so much.
◎◎◎◎◎
I was standing outside her ap@rtment door.
Restless, excited, happy…the feeling that I am going throu-gh is immense.
God!
I pressed the doorbell and stood there outside patiently while leaning onto the wall next to me.
What the hell!
“Who is it?” A voice echoed from inside the room.
What the hell! Why is he here that too without his shi-t?
What the hell is going on here? I thought to myself.
I didn’t show my confusion, anger and surprised expressions to him. Instead I calmly entered her ap@rtment and asked him,
“Where is she?”
Just then, she c@m£ out asking about who is on the door?
“Umm… Sir, what are you doing here?” She asked me surprised.
I somehow suppressed my anger within me and looked at her intently.
She is wearing a white tank t©p and black shorts while he stood beside her shi-tless.
“I wanted to talk to you. But I think you nee-d to have to do some explanation before I start talking with you.” I looked into her eyes and said.
She just stood there confused.
Damn.
“Get dressed. We are going out.” I said a bit harshly.
“Woah…wait so he is your boss?” He asked her with raised eyebrows.
“Umm… Sir, he is my friend Derek.
Derek, he is my boss Mr. Alexander Pearce.” She introduced us to each other.
I just gave him a blank look when he put forward his right hand for me to shake I ignored him, looked at Scarlet and ordered her to get re-ady.
Drake or… whatever his name is… went and sat onto the couch with his l@pt©p to continue whatever he was doing.
While she quic-kly went inside got re-ady in thirty minutes and stood in front of me.
I immediately gr@bb£d her hand and left the ap@rtment without giving a second glance to the guy.
We entered into the car and took off towards the place where I have decided to surprise her.

Episode 17
Alexander’s Pov~
“Sir, where are we going?” She asked while looking at me confusedly.
“St©p calling me Sir, you can call me Alexander or Alex and don’t be so formal.” I said without looking at her, instead was focusing on the road ahead as I was driving.
I couldn’t st©p thinking about the Drake guy. Why the hell was he there in her ap@rtment?
“Why was he at your ap@rtment?” I asked her in an angry tone.
“Who? Derek?” She asked..
“Well… He is my new neighbor now and his room is getting renovated. I know him since college, actually we are besties. So for time being he is staying with us.” She explained.
“Are you two …..?Together?” I questioned.
“No…! He and I, are two different…Well he is too h0t for me and I am not his type.” She quoted and rolled up her eyes.
Upon hearing her I felt a bit relaxed but I don’t want her to be near that guy.
Suddenly her cellphone started ringing and she answered it.
Scarlet: “Hey.”
…..
Scarlet: “I don’t know.”
…..
Scarlet: “Ok.”
…..
Scarlet: “plea-se choose something good. I don’t want to be bored to death.”
…..
Scarlet: “Action!”
…..
Scarlet: “Yup. Bye.”
I was listening to her conversation and was curious to know who it was? So I looked at her with raised eyebrows after once when her call got ended.
She was smiling and looked very excited.
She turned towards me and replied,
“It was Derek planning about watching a movie with him tonight at home.”
After that she kept on rambling about him and her college days. To be honest, I love listening to her talk but I was least interested to listen about him. So I sped fas-ter and we reached the sp©t where I had planned everything out for her.
“Why are we here?” She asked in a low voice with a surprised look and re-leased a shaky breath.
“Shh….come with me.” I whispered in her ear while moving closer and held her hand.
A soothing evening along the shores of long beach is what I have set up for her.
Actually I myself was surprised with the arrangement made by my creative team. Hmm….I should definitely give them a bonus. I mentally noted about it.
We were standing alongside the shores and I turned to look at her. She looks so beautiful even if she is just in a casual black jean and sky blue t-shi-t. She has no much make up and just naturally glowing right now.
This girl just makes me go crazy every second when I am with her. What is it about her? I want to know her. God!!
“Scarlet. I…I know you have a lot of questions in your mind. The night during the charity event I was drun!kand scared…. and… Upset because you were nowhere to be found. When I saw you with him I couldn’t take it. You being with someone else just made me angry…. and I dragged you with me.
Sorry. I apologize to you for my behavior but I didn’t mean to hurt you in anyway. I am so sorry. It just… I lost it very badly and I couldn’t st©p myself.”
I was looking into her eyes and I could see that she was in an unbelievable state. I continued to express my feelings to her.
“I just don’t know what is going on with me….With us …. But that k!ssmeant a lot for me. I want to know you more; I want you to be with me and want to figure this out…..about us.”
“I… I don’t know.” She responded unsurely.
Seeing her soft pink p@rtedl-ips I couldn’t st©p myself, pu-ll-ed her towards me and crashed myl-ips with her. Sparks generated within me and I k!$$£d her breathtakingly.
I didn’t want to hear a no from her. I wanted to have a chance with her. I gr@bb£d both of her hands and k!$$£d each one of them and said,
“You don’t have to answer me right away. You can think about it and answer me tomorrow.”
Cli-ck cli-ck cli-ck cli-ck cli-ck cli-ck……
Suddenly I heard the sound of cl!çk!ng and I realized that it’s the paparazzi. They are standing way too far from us as my b©dyguards have made a fence keeping them at bay.
$h!t !
These guys always know how to ruin my plans. I mean seriously…. I won’t be able to have a quiet evening with her neither have the candle light dinner.
“I am so sorry. We have to leave now.” I informed her and I was seriously disappointed.
I gently pu-ll-ed her closer to me and placed my right arm across from her shoulder and we moved along with my two b©dyguards in between the crowds of ph0togra-phers and reporters.
When we reached nearby to them a lot of questions were bombarded on us. Some of them were pushing in front, ph0tos were being cli-cked and it was just too noisy and crowded. I whispered into her ears to stay calm and not to answer to their questions and she did so.
But one of the reporters gr@bb£d her left arm and pu-ll-ed back harshly to ask questions. She yelped and I abruptly st©pped and looked back. I could see she was shaken a bit and I bet he must have given her a bruise on her arm by doing that.
The thought itself made my blood boil and I quic-kly landed a solid punch on his face and he fell backwards with a thud.
Scarlet yelled out my name and upon hearing it I faced her and gently examined her arm. I was right; it did become a purplish color now.
Thereafter there was complete silence but that moment was definitely captured by the c@m£ra and it will become h0t news for tomorrow.
I will have to deal with this $h!t the first thing in the morning. I mentally noted.
I couldn’t contain my anger so I looked at him with rage and warned him.
“Do not repeat this again.”
He said sorry to me and to Scarlet.
“Sorry Miss. I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was by accident. I am so sorry. Sorry sir.” He was scared.
“It’s ok.” She politely replied to him and I could see sadness in her eyes.
Why?
Damn. All I wanted to see was her smile…..when she is with me but I failed to make her happy.
I was irritated and disappointed with everything. I gently held her hand and proceeded to my car silently.
All the way to home, while driving no words were spoken between us.
I dropped her near to her ap@rtment building and straight away headed home hoping that she will give me a chance.
At home I couldn’t st©p thinking about today and the way she looked sad while the incident happened with the reporter.
I was restless.
I wanted to know what she is thinking.
What she is feeling?
What is her decision about us?
Does she even think about me?
Does she feel the way I feel for her?
Will I get a chance to know her and make her happy?
There are so many questions floating in my mind which I couldn’t st©p from asking myself.
I picked up my cellphone and texted her.
All I ask is a chance.
I want to know you more.
Do think about it and answer me tomorrow.
I will be waiting for your reply.
Do say yes.
– 🅰🅿
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
I sighed and la-id down onto my be-d all tired and kept the cellphone next to the be-dside table and drifted off to sleep wishing that tomorrow will be a positive day for myself.
Goodnight to myself…..

I was going throu-gh my today’s task when the intercom buzzed.
“SCARLET…..CABIN NOW!”
It’s time for me to face him and here we go. Taking a de-ep breath I knocked on his door and entered in. He was proof re-ading a do¢v-ment.
He looks so perfect and unbelievably h0t today.
“I know I am h0t.” He said in a raspy voice, breaking my thought.
How did he know about what I am thinking? My eyes went wi-de. He smiled devilishly while looking at me.
I immediately turned a shade of cherry red and looked down rather than into his eyes.
He cleared his throat, moved out from his chair and stood in front of me.
I looked up and saw that he was standing too close to me and for a second he stared at myl-ips and then looked into my eyes.
I was getting goose bombs and the way I feel now with him is something I can’t un-derstand, it is kind of a tingling s-en-sation de-ep down in the lower region of my stomach and my heart flutters. It’s crazy.
“I…Umm…Sir you called me. I mean…do you nee-d help with… anything…?” I asked to distract him and make myself calm as well.
He moved back towards his table and gr@bb£d a file and a card, then turned around to face me.
“This file as well as card you keep it with you and we are going to Italy for two weeks so book our flight tickets and get re-ady for it.” He said while handing me the file.
“Italy!!” Did I hear it right? I couldn’t believe what he said. So I asked him in a low voice once again.
“Yes. A business trip, have a meeting with the Rosario’s. So we will be leaving tomorrow.” He said with excitement in his eyes.
“What?” My eyes went wi-de. We are leaving tomorrow to Italy. And I am very much excited as it’s my first time travelling out to another country.
“Is there any problem?” He asked me with a worry on his face.
“No..no..no..no.. I …will arrange everything Asap.”
I replied to him and immediately turned to leave but he st©pped me and pu-ll-ed towards him and right then I felt his softl-ips on mine.
He is k!ss!ngme…
His both hands were on my cheeks and he k!$$£d me breathlessly and urgently like his life depended on me.
I was about to respond to his k!ssbut….
“BABYYY… ”
It got interrupted and I pushed him back, turned around to see who is it?
“What are you doing here?” He asked in a stern voice. I could see that he is angry and he is holding my hand to control his temper.
“Baby, I am here to see you. I want to talk with you in pri-vate.” She said and then stared at me angrily.
“Cherry. You do know that I am not interested to talk with you or …” He said while ti-ght£ñing his grip on my hand and she interrupted him.
“Alexander….” She pleaded.
I was not at all interested in this drama and I hate her and I don’t get good vibes from her.
“Excuse me.” I said and decided to leave the two of them alone and get back to work but Alexander st©pped me again.
“Scarlet you are not going anywhere. Cherry, if you want to say something then say it… or else leave. I have important work to be done here.” He said leaving no room for argument.
“Why. Why can’t you give me a chance? I am sorry for what I did. plea-se forget the past and give me a chance to prove you.” She said while looking at him hopefully.
“You and Me….We…. It’s past. There is no future, no chance for us to be together. I gave you chances in the past several times but you scre-wed it. You are a selfish person Cherry. You can only love yourself. “He seethed in anger.
“If not me then why are you with her? She has got no standard, no money, no fame, she is a nothing. God knows what she did for a living, before working with you…..Why this wench?” She yelled back at him.
I bec@m£ stiff and I felt hurt. Her words were echoing in my head. I closed my eyes to calm myself.
“Don’t you dare say anything about her…you have no right.” He warned while pointing a f!nger at her.
“But that’s the truth. She is a loser who wants some attention, fame and money. The easier way is to be with you Alexi. Girls like her will do anything to get there. Baby…”
“Cherry…you…” Before Alexander could complete his s£ntence, I gave a ti-ght sl@p on her left cheek.
“Enough. You have no right to insult me like that. You don’t even know me. How can you just degrade me like this when I haven’t done anything wrong. Don’t you dare…. talk about me like that ever.
I have no interest in his money, status, attention or power. Keep that in mind. Now if you plea-se excuse me.” I left his cabin as I was fuming in anger.
I was pissed off. Never in my life have I ever come across such a situation.
I resumed my work so that I get distracted and it helped me to calm myself. After an hour I saw Cherry leaving from his cabin.
Right after that he c@m£ inside my cabin and pu-ll-ed me into a warm hvg.
“Sorry. She is a selfish bit-ch. plea-se ignore her words.” He soothed me while ru-bbing his hand on my back.
“Sir, I… I am fine. It’s okay. “I as-sured him while pushing him a bit away and I maintained a distance between us.
“Okay. Umm… can you get me some coffee to my cabin?” He asked while running his hand throu-gh his hair. He looked tired and I nodded a yes to him.
After 15 minutes I got him a cu-p of coffee and placed it on his desk. He was now busy re-ading do¢v-ments and attending a call. So I left and went onto do my work. At the end of shift I was exhausted.
I packed up my things and left my cabin. Alexander was waiting nearby to the elevator, as soon as he saw me he pushed onto the bu-tton.
Elevator c@m£ and we entered together, there was just silence. Once when we reached the ground floor, he tugged my arm and said,
“You are coming with me. I’ll drop you home.” I couldn’t argue and he pu-ll-ed me towards the parking area, entered into his car and he started driving.
He broke the silence by asking me,
“Have you booked the tickets for us?”
“Yes. Our flight is at morning 7:00 and I will mail you the rest of the details later tonight.” I replied
“Okay. Good.” He replied.
We reached to my ap@rtment building and he pu-ll-ed the car in front of my entrance. I said a thank you as well as a good night and got out of the car.
When I was about to step inside the building he called me.
“Scarlet….”
I turned back and saw him standing in front of me.
He pu-ll-ed me into a ti-ght hvg and I could feel his breath on my shoulder.
“Scarlet. What have you thought about us?” He asked me sincerely looking into my eyes and I could see that he is expecting a positive answer from me..
I took a de-ep breath and thought for a second about the things that I decided. Gently opening my eyes I said,
“I think….. I can’t. I can’t be with you. Being with you is difficult and … I want someone who will always be there with me during important events like birthdays, anniversaries’ and so on.
Who will be able to create memories with me and share his life with me forever without any restrictions…I don’t want any limelight, attentions, uncomfortable situations and unwanted drama’s. All I wish is a simple and peaceful life.”
He held both of my hands and said,
“I know my life is very much different than yours and this paparazzi people are always interested to know what I do. They constantly follow me wherever I go and capture whatever I do.
I won’t be able to put a st©p on that. But I can as-sure you that I will create memories with you. I will always be there with you and I want to explore this feeling with you that I am having. I want to experience it and see where it takes us.”
“I nee-d some more time. I am still not able to get an answer for this. I don’t know. I feel …that I won’t be able to blend with your lifestyle. I… I… don’t know. I am so confused right now.”
I said truthfully and I could hear my heartbeats and the fluttery feeling inside my stomach.
I was not able to give him an answer. I nee-d time to think about it. I am definitely attra-cted towards him. But still there is something that pu-lls me back from being with him. Maybe because of the thing that happened before with Cherry.
There will be a lot of talks about me being a person who is d@t!ngthe CEO of Pearce Industries for money and fame. The media will tarnish my life and it might hamper me in many ways. And I am scared of that.
“Scarlet, okay I un-derstand you nee-d time. Fine….Two weeks, this business trip to Italy is your time to think about it and give me an answer.
l hope it would be a yes and I will wait to hear it from you.” He said and gave a feather k!sson my forehead.
I gave him a gentle nod and a small smile.
“Be re-ady at 6:00, I’ll pick you up.” He informed me with a smile.
“Okay” I replied with a nod again.
“Bye.” He said and was about to go to his car. I replied him back a bye while waving my hand. He suddenly turned, gave a feather light k!sson myl-ips and said Goodnight.
I like it. His k!sses, his hvgs, his smile, oh god he is so…charming. Like a prince. I replied goodnight to him in a low voice and waved him bye.
He entered into his car and drove off while I entered my building tou-ching myl-ips, thinking about the k!ssand feeling it. Entered the elevator and all my thoughts were about him.
Well, this is going to be really difficult for me.
God….Alexander. I think for me it’s more than an attra-ction!!!
