Chapter 35

Waking up the next day, Alexia prepared for work. By the time she got to work, she realized that she was supposed to have a meeting with the upper executive that morning.

She rushed to the board meeting with Regan by her side.
'I have called you ten times earlier ma'am but you didn't pick up my phone," Regan uttered as the duo rushed to the board meeting room.

Alexia knew she wasn't able to sleep yesterday because of her burning desire but she didn't want to sleep with Dylan again especially because it wasn't right.

She reached the meeting room and a lot of the executive members were already in their seats, the meeting hadn't started because of her.

Before sitting, she collected her lips stick from Regan as her lips were dry and she didn't want to talk with dry lips. Her little act pissed the board of executives off so much.

They began to whisper words amongst themselves. Words that weren't new to Alexia herself. These men were nothing but despicable and hungry for power that they didn't care if their words hurt anyone.

^This is why women shouldn't be in charge of power.

^We have been waiting for her for almost thirty minutes now but here she is applying lip liner of whatever they call it to her lips.

Alexia sighed because it wasn't the first time she heard them talk about her. To men, they believe women shouldn't be in power because of their greed to always be in control.

'Alexia took this company from a fifty to top two in three years, better than what any of you had done but all you can say is she doesn't deserve to be in power?!" The voice which sounded from the door sent everyone to keep their mouth shut.

It was Dylan young, he was well dressed and looked very handsome especially because he had a new haircut.

'Recently, she sealed a top deal with the president worth over one billion dollars but your concern is her applying - it is called lips gloss by the way -" he addressed to the man who called her lip gloss; lip liner.

'... Men are the real problem of the society. I wonder who you want in power then, her father? Or one of you old men who did nothing but drink and sleep with small ladies around." Dylan didn't care that these men were top shareholders and executives of the board, he only cared about Alexia and her feelings.

He hated the way they had talked to her knowing well that Alexia worked hard more than anyone and she deserve this company. Alexia didn't date anyone so that they can concentrate on work, she did nothing but work instead of going to late-night clubs in other to prove herself.

Instead of appreciation, she got called out because she was a woman. Dylan, being a man without fear will not watch these old men talk about her that way.

The old men looked at each other after Dylan talked. Everything Dylan said was true so they decided to apologize to Alexia but she didn't care, she only moved to the business of the day.

However, deep down in her heart, she found what he said very amusing. She loved that Dylan defended her and didn't believe women aren't supposed to hold high positions in the world.

Alexia moved to the business of the day, she talked so fluently and listened to the opinion of others. In fact, she didn't discard anyone's idea even after what they said to her.

After the meeting, Alexia moved to her office.
Entering her office, Alexia was shocked to find Kylie sitting down on her chair again.

Alexia felt so angry, she wanted to walk to Kylie and slap the fuck out of her but she kept her calm.

'What do you want again?" Alexia asked.

'A job." Then, she pointed to a document that contained her resume.

Alexia chuckled.

'I didn't think you are capable of finding a job or even keeping one." Alexia walked closer to the table.

Kylie smiled and stood from the chair.
'I can help with sketching, I am good at that. I can also bring in good customers to the company which will take it from top two to top one. You know I am good Alexia, especially with my brain."

Alexia wouldn't deny the fact that Kylie is good but having her father's wife and ex-best friend work with her wouldn't be a nice and wise idea.

'I think you should stick to spending money and spa until my dad gets back his senses and throws you out of the house," Alexia uttered. However, when she remembered what Kylie had told her the day she caught her sleeping with a man

‘You have what I want but I can't get it so I'll destroy it.'

Alexia paused, she thought that if she drew Kylie closer, she would find out what Kylie meant by that statement. It was clear that Kylie had more bad intentions than she led on.

'Okay, I will fix you somewhere. Dad wouldn't let me be anyways so I have to fix you somewhere." Alexia finalized.

Kylie smiled, she picked up her bag and walked away. Walking through the passage, Kylie bumped into someone. Someone she hadn't seen in a long time. It was no other than Dylan young, the man who truly loved and cares about her. It was just a pity that she didn't know how to love, she was nothing but a survivor, and she would strive to survive to the end.

'Why did you just come out of Alexia's office?" Dylan wondered.

Kylie smiled.
'I will be sure to tell Alexia to bring my office near yours because I miss fucking you so bad." She muttered then walked closer to him. She pinned her head to his chest and then trailed it to his lips.

Before Dylan knew what was coming, her lips had pressed against his.

Meanwhile;

Dylan didn't know that Alexia came out of her office and that's the reason Kylie kissed him quickly, he was stupid enough to put his hands around Kylie's waist.
