Chapter 22

When I got home, I immediately threw myself down, and because I was tired I forgot to even text Andrea.
The next day I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I still wanted to sleep in case the sleepiness didn't visit me so I got up and stretched. I walked to the comfort room to take a bath, I didn't stay there long and I went out right away to get dressed. When I finished what I was doing, I grabbed my bag and left the room.
My cellphone rang correctly and my secretary called. He informed me that Mr. Chua had been waiting for a while. I looked at my wristwatch before 10:00 a.m Why is it early? I hurried out of the house to the garage and got in my car. I speared it quickly so I could get there quickly.
When I arrived at the hotel, the guard greeted me with a smile and I greeted him good morning too. I retaliated and when I greeted him, I went straight inside to the elevator, because my office is on the fifth floor. I had staff in the elevator at the same time and they were whispering but I didn't understand, so I just ignored it. When the elevator opened, I immediately went out and went ahead of them. They were surprised that I was the one they were with inside so it was too late for them to greet me. I just smiled at them, because such things are not a big deal to me.
I made my way to the office quickly, when I was right in front of the door. I took a few breaths to get rid of my nervousness. I turned the lock slowly before going inside where I saw it sitting in front while drinking coffee. He stopped drinking when I noticed when I arrived.
"Have a seat," he said.
"Thank you, sir, "I said while sitting in front of it.
"I'm not staying here for longer. I just want you to know that I need to pull out my shares in your company," he said directly. Not even a horn sounded as if the man had just run away with the words he uttered.
I just quietly listened to him. This company is one of the annoyed investors. He is a headache for all board members because of his contrary decisions. If he wants to pull out, go ahead atlis I lost a demanding headache.
"Ok, Mr. Chua. Do you have something to tell me? If not, you may leave now, the door is already open for you," I said.
He quickly stood up and walked out the door and slammed it shut. He thought maybe I would chase him, no way. I'm very happy.
When I was alone, I suddenly remembered to text Andrea to say hello to them both. I was about to dial his number when my private investigator suddenly called, and I immediately answered his call.
"Hello sir, I have good news for you," he said. And I'm sure you'll be happy with what I'm going to tell you, "he added.
"Okay I just have some important things to finish, after we meet at the JNY coffee shop at 3:00 p.m, and don't be late," I reminded her.
"Yes sir, see you," it said. And I turned off its call as well. Suddenly my heart pounded, I couldn't figure out what it meant. But I'm more interested in what I'll find out later and I can't wait any longer. Out of excitement, I forgot to call Andrea and Axel.
I spent my five hours reviewing and signing documents that had been piled up for days. So I hate going on vacation because instead of being able to relax when I go back to the office, I have a lot of work to do.
Because I was busy, I didn't realize that Alhea was in front of me. I thought Mr. Chua came back.
"Yes, Mr--" I didn't finish what I was going to say because I was surprised when it arrived.
"Hi Steve," it greeted. Suddenly my forehead wrinkled, that's what he called me again.
"W-what are you doing here?" frowned when asked here. And I make it obvious I'm on a bad trip when he’s in front of me.
"I'm just visiting you because I miss you, Steve," she said as he walked closer to me. And I tried to kiss but I avoided it.
"How many times I tell you, don't call me Steve. We're not the same age for Pete's sake," I said angrily. He is still not old.
"But I love you. You know it right. What am I supposed to do? Tell me," she asked who was about to cry because I could already see the redness on her face.
"But I won't love you, Alhea. Find a man that loves you and cares for you," I said convincingly and maybe she'll listen.
"No! Don't do this to me," she said sobbing.
No matter how hard I try to love it but nothing. I love her like a sister nothing more.
"I care and love you like my sister," I said. And the tissue tried to wipe away its tears, but it shook my hand.
"I don't need you as my brother. Please love me," she said while kneeling in front of me.
I bent down and forced him to stand up because maybe someone could see us inside and what else to think of me.
"Don't be naughty Alhea, though. If you still insist on what you want, don't ever show it to me again," I said, already wrinkled, because I've been tired of those who will do it before.
"Fine. But I won't give up. You'll be with me too Steve," she said as she walked out and out of my office.
Because of her, I had a bad trip, I remembered my past when she was obsessed with me. I talked to her for a long time and I could only offer her something different.
I thought she would stop me, but she didn't. My childhood was so crazy, she was no longer doing well. If only I had missed her fights with the women who linked to me when we were still in College. She is very immature, all the attention she wants is just for her.
Louise and I broke up because she said something had happened to us even though nothing had happened. I don't know about my ex-girlfriend and why it is so easy to believe that I will be judged. She didn't even explain to me that she just broke up with me for no reason.
It was too late when I found out that Alhea was responsible for everything. It was so painful to lose a girlfriend I loved sincerely and truly.
So she can't know that I'm dating Andrea because I know Alhea she'll do everything just to erase the women I like from my path. Even Axel will be affected by it when he finds out the truth.
I stopped reminiscing about my past because I remembered that Gaston and I would meet again. I turned off the computer before leaving the office and headed straight for the parking lot area. I quickly started my car because I didn't want to be late for our conversation.
He also called and he was already at the meeting place. When I arrived at the coffee shop I was so nervous and I took a few sighs before entering the coffee shop because now I will know the truth, if Axel is my son or not?
