ire fully expresses her gratefulness, she’s happy that Alex believes “Thank you, Alex, I’m sorry for attracting such incident and and thank you for trusting me, also I’m confident we can ovee this together.”


    Alexander gave a bright smile and drove the car. “ire, do you remember that time in college when we stayed up all night to finish that ss project?”


    Alexander smiles warmly, the memory clearly etched in his mind.


    ire, this time around smiling broadly “Of course, I remember. We barely made the deadline, but it was one of the few times we worked together effectively.”


    ire leans back in her seat, reminiscing about their college days.


    “Well, I have always thought you were brilliant, back then and now. I might not have appreciated it well enough for you to know.” Alexander’s words are apanied by a chuckle, and ire can’t help butugh too.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Well, you were quite the charmer back in college, weren’t you? You had all the girls on their toes, just couldn’t allow you do that to me then” ire yfully nudges Alexander.


    But those words got the best of Alex, as he is already breathing too fast, he parked the car and got off the car, he is feeling very stuffy.


    “Oh I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken about that” ire apologized as she went closer to Alex, she hugged him from behind.


    It was a matter of minutes before Alex got his stand back. He pulled her to his front and rested her back on the car, he kissed her and they kissed for long on the street right there, before ire got to her senses and stopped kissing.


    “Let’s go get something to drink” she said “Oh yeah, let’s go get something to eat too.” They got into the car and drove off


    The memory from their college days resurfaces, reminding them of a time when they had worked together effectively, if only briefly.


    They got home reallyte that night, they were both drunk and full they went straight to the room and copsed.


    “ire, wake up, we are in deep trouble.” those words woke ire. She sat up in bed and the rush made her dizzy.


    “Are you okay?”


    “Yes, I’m fine. Just had a dizzy spell.”


    “Are you sure?”


    “I’m fine Alex. Really, I am. What’s the matter?”


    “We are on the news” Alex dered passing his phone to ire.


    There on the screen is a clear picture of both of them kissing beside his car. The picture was so clear and detailed that there was no denying it.


    The picture had a headline that read: FINALLY, DIRTY SECRET OF VISIONTECH’S CEO, ALEX REYNOLDS’S AND HIS SECRETARY EXPOSED.


    “Alex, your parents. They should not see this.”


    “I’ve been ignoring their calls all morning and I don’t know how long I can keep doing that.”


    A call came in on Alex’s phone and ire passed it to him.


    “It’s Daniel.”


    “Hey man, are you able to do anything from your end there?”


    “I’m sorry Alex. I did my best but it seems there is someone more powerful feeding this to the public. There are over 50 posts from different websites.


    “I was only able to get to 20 to bring it down. And there no leads as to where this came from. We’re still working on it.” Daniel said from the other side.


    “Reporters are having a field day on it. The investors are also calling to hear from you.


    “But the most important thing right now is that your parents are already on their way to your apartment.” He finished his report.


    “What do…?”


    They heard a knock on the door that moment.


    “Ow Alex, I think those are your parents. What do we do?” She instinctively held to her stomach forfort.


    “Rx ire. That’s not good for the baby.” Alex cautioned her.


    “Stay here and don’te out, okay?” ire looked up at him as he bent and ced a kiss on her lips.


    He mouthed his instruction to her again as he stepped out to the living room


    “Alexander Nics Reynolds, what have you done?” Mrs. Reynolds said as she came into the room.


    “You can go home for the day ms. Hope. Thank you.” Alex told the housekeeper who had opened the door.


    “Yes Mr. Reynolds.” The house keeper replied and went to pick up her bag and left the apartment.


    “What have you done Alex?” James repeated his wife’s question.


    “We specifically told you that the public must not hear about this childish rtionship going on between you and your secretary and there is a signed document to prove that you both understood what we wanted.”


    “I never told you guys that neither was I okay with the contract. But you both assumed all that on your own.


    “I love ire and she loves me. If the public does not be aware of it yesterday, there will surelye a day that they will be aware of it. Better now thatter.” Alex retorted


    Mrs. Reynord was so angry at those words, immediately she became red at the ear as she shouted at Alex and went about pushing the doors open,


    “Where is she? Where is the gold digger.”


    “Mum stop it. ire is not a gold digger and I will not sit back and listen to you call her that.” Alex fumed.


    “Has ite to that now Alex? Why are you defending that good for nothing girl?” Mrs. Reynolds cried.


    “James, can you please speak some sense into your son. Thisdy is nothing but bad luck.” Mrs. Reynolds said pointing at ire who had juste to the living room.


    Alex turned and saw ire in tears and he moved toward her.


    “Mum. Dad. I need you both to stop your antagonism towards ire. All we need from you both right now is nothing but your support and also, we’re pregnant.” Alex announced to them drawing ire to his side.


    “What?” James and Mrs. Reynolds shouted together.


    “Yeah, what the hell Alex?” ire thought in her mind.
