Infatuation Of Darkness

Recognition flashed in Jeff's eyes the moment he saw Alexis. Even though he had not stepped inside the office yet, he did not back out either. There was no reply from his side rather he had resorted to silence.

Alexis tilted her hair examining him further, "Are you not the secretary I was told about?"

"Huh?" He shook out of his stupor. "Yes, yes I am."

She smiled. "Well then get to work. I can tell you this I hate tardiness." She warned him with a smile on her face.

"Yes ma'am," he nodded.

"And Jeff?" He halted. "Bring me a diary. The one with a good, not extravagant cover and don't bring it directly here, run it through Nadine first." Of course, Nadine went with her.

"Yes Ma'am," he nodded and left.

She smiled and swirl it around in her chair. This was going to be fun.

*******

'Revenge is sweet.

... Within limits of course.'

Was the first thing that she had officially written down in her diary. A diary that she was always going to keep and Nadine had found the one with a beautiful design.

She closed the diary and placed it in her bag. Even though there had been one sentence and she did not want anyone reading it.

The clock had already struck five and it was the time to leave for the employees for which Jeff came knocking in at her door.

"Ma'am?"

"Yes?" She called not looking at him as she was engrossed in the file kept in front of her.

"Um. it's a.."

She looked up at him and then back down on her file once again concentrating, "when with those stumbling words you form a sentence, do tell me."

He cleared his throat and began once again all over, "it's 5 p.m. am I allowed to leave?"

She closed the file and then kept her chain on her hands, with the smile she said, "I don't see why not."

A sudden shock flashed in his eyes as she knew that he was not expecting it. Nevertheless, he nodded and closed the door. Picking up her diary once again she wrote another thing on the same phrase she brought before.

Do take your time with it.

Closing a shut she smiled. A sudden feeling of relief flooded for the heart.

As promised Angelo stood at the entrance of the building, waiting for her before going home. An involuntary smile great her face as she saw him waiting outside the car.

"Hello there." She said softly with a small smile on her face that had lightened up his as well. He smiled back but without saying anything he opens the door for her ushering her in.

"Now tell me, how was your first day?" He said as soon as he sat beside her and the car started moving.

"Good but I took your advice and didn't immediately start to bash the poor guy." She gloated making him smile. "I could see how shocked he was when I behave normally and did not show any signs of aggressiveness towards him."

He laughed. "I love how your face has lightened up for it. And that is what I talked about the more you delay the impending decision the more the anticipation kills them."

"And now I have seen for myself." She smiled and without any knowledge of on leaned into his shoulder keeping her head there and sighing.

Their house soon appeared and the cars stopped in front of it. Angelo moved out first and like the regularity the door, took her hand and walked inside the house together.

Today being the first day she worked had tired her enough to go for an immediate shower and change into a good silk night suit. She had forgotten how much of a tiring deal desk job was and was unfortunate to be reminded of it again. But somehow it had filled her empty days is with work.

"Would you tell me now where you gone?"

Startled she turned around and face her brother. "What is wrong with you?" She placed a hand on her heart trying to calm it down from the scare given to it. "And you're not supposed to enter is not given permission."

He clicked his tongue at that, "I am your cousin believe me I have seen the grossest possible about you. Do you remember the time when you had acne braces and glasses altogether?"

She smiled as wide as she could, "Well if you could be so kind as to not remind me of that. I had gone to work for a company."

He rose a brow at that, feeling quite astonished. "And your millionaire going billionaire husband allowed that?"

She waved her hand at that. "Well, it's only temporarily."

"Temp-" he sighed, "what caused you all of a sudden to-to go and work out in a firm?"

She felt that they were coming close to the point where she was going to tell him everything which is why she did not beat around the bush and told him straight forward what was going on in her mind.

"Jeff?" He yelled. "What in the world was going on in your mind when you went on the attack in him personally?"

"Hah!" She laughed once again feeling the anger creeping in inside her brain and mind. "if you haven't noticed it before I'll tell you now there is only the level of personal here. Nothing can be done about it. He took my daughter for which I'll take away his husband and it would be just like tit for tat."

He shook his head, his eyes full of disapproval. "When did you become like this Alexis? You were never a person of revenge in her nature. You were such a beautiful person."

Her smile turned upside down. She was sad what he said and she did not hide it. "Alas my brother, it is the beautiful person always taken advantage of and turned into ugly.." She turned to look away as a tear slipped her eye, "It is the beautiful person who suffers the most."
