chapter 24

Alexa

"Thea, you said you will stay here for three days. It's only been two days but you need to go back to Paris. Don't go..." I pleaded her but I know it's not going to work.

"Don't act like a child Alexa. I'm sad too but there's nothing I can do. My boss called and want me to be there as soon as possible. Maybe because there's an urgent or something. I promise you, I'll come here again." She said and walk outside.

"You sure you don't want me to send you to the airport?" I ask.

"It's okay, I already called the cab. I don't want you to prevent me from going back to Paris if you send me to the airport. Oh, there's the cab. Bye bestie. I'm gonna miss you.. " she hugs me and then got into the cab. I wave her and watch the cab until it's gone. I sighed and go inside my house.

I feel something is missing now. I look at the time and it's 6:30 in the morning. I walk to my room and take a shower. I scrub my body and shampoo my hair. When I'm done, I wrap my naked body with bathrobe and then walk out of the bathroom. It's already at 7 a.m. Wow, I'm sure taking too long for a shower.

Last night, I slept like 12 something because of I just on the phone with Elijah. I don't even know why I even answer his phone call last night.

I walk to my walk-in closet and pick my emerald green dress and wear it. After that, I sit on my vanity table and do my makeup.

After a few minutes, I'm all done. I put my phone in my handbag and walk downstairs. I'm not in a hurry today because I don't have to bring Gabriel and Gabriella with me anymore. When I told Thea about the babysitter thing, she just recommended her contacts to me and I think I can trust her. When the doorbell ring, I walk to the door and open it.

"Good morning Ms. Johnson. I'm Laila George your kid's babysitter." She said and smile at me.

"Oh come in. Nice to meet you, Laila. Well, the twins still fast asleep upstairs so maybe you can cook their breakfast first or do whatever you think you have to do here." She nodded her head understand. "Good. Now, I have to go because I don't want to stuck in traffic. I hope you can take care of my children well." I said before walking out.

"I promise I will Ms." I smile and walk heading to my car.

I have my breakfast at the small cafe that's only a few blocks from my company. I love to have breakfast there because it's so cozy and there are not too many people in the morning. I have pancake and hot tea.

After I have done, I drive my car to my company and then give the keys to chauffeur then walk in. I have a meeting this morning in 5 minutes so I just walk faster and when I arrive on the 20th floor, I walk straightly towards the meeting room.

"Good morning everyone," I said and then smile.

Just then, the meeting started.

"Okay then, we will have another meeting once you all make a new design by next week." They nodded their head. With that, I stand up and wait for all the people walk out of the meeting room before I walk out from it.

****

Just when I focus on my work, my phone light up. I furrowed my eyebrows and take a look who it is. Private number?

I open it and see the pictures of Elijah and a woman. They look so happy in those pictures and I feel relieved at least he won't disturb me anymore. To be honest I didn't feel anything when I look at those pictures because I don't have any feeling for Elijah. I don't even understand why this person sends me all this. Maybe want me to see how's Elijah been doing at New York.

I look at the photos and then my phone ring showing Elijah's name on it. He might want to give me a lie again. I just let it be but when he calls for, the second time, I pick it up.

"What do you want more?" I said with a cold tone. I know he wants to spread lies again but I know him too well. I just act cold towards him and let him suffer by himself.

Like, who cares.
