Chapter 214 - Two Hundred And Fourteen.

"You look good," Angelo commented as he looked at his wife who was getting ready in front of the mirror. She was dressed up in a pant-suit perfect for the office. "Are you sure that you want to do this on your own?" He asked once more. Yesterday night, as she had proposed the idea of revenge from 2 people and Angelo, had readily jumped in and called in the favours from people who owned him those.

"Well for starters, I have nothing to do," Which was obvious, "And yes, I would like to do it on mine. It would make me feel better." She admitted without any fear.

He nodded though not convinced fully he did it for her.

She smiled and walked out ready for him to prepare for his day. Yup, she had gotten up before her husband today. Even though she had not slept as night.

Walking out she followed to the room Agatha had texted her about. She stood outside the room before a few seconds trying to hear something but nothing.

It was silent.

She smiled. He was still sleeping.

Opening the door with a bang, she entered the room startling them both to wake up and catch up with their senses.

"Ma-Madam..?" Liam took in where he was and who stood in front of him. "I didn't mean to stay.."

She waved him off, "I have no problem with you sleeping in my house but I think I have a big problem with you are lying...or rather had sex with him." She said eyeing them both with a critical stare.

She should go for an audition.

"Wha?" He looked around him immediately and saw a body in the covers. "I..don-"

"Save it." She harshly stopped him from talking any further. "Agatha! Get up and get to work immediately!"

Her harsh and loud voice had immediately made Agatha get up and scramble for her clothes as her mistress left.

"Ag-agat-"

"Don't!" She hissed at him with tears gathering in her eyes. "Don't ever mention this night or my name much less!" She walked out leaving the man in a fog of confusion.

Alexis sat in the dining area as she read the newspaper with food laid out in the front of her.

She chuckled a bit as she realised that Agatha had still taken care of everything else. From her clothes and food to the plot they had talked about last night.

Agatha did not have to prove herself every day or have a specific task assigned when she proved herself daily regularly. 

"Madam coffee." The chef had taken Agatha's place today and was serving the food from the kitchen. Thanking her she took it.

"Why are you eating that?" Elijah eyed her clothes and commented, "Not that I don't like it, it kinda makes you look more.." he thought of the word, "sophisticated."

"Funny." She spat. "Anything else?"

He jumped at the opportunity, "yes, it's more ...up to my standards now." He winced then, "sorry for the bitterness but the truth is said to be."

"How you!" She growled and pointed her finger at him, "That's it! I not telling you where I am going now."

"Do you ever not fight?" Angela said with a sigh as he took his seat. "My father told me about the...The encounter between you to that he witnessed in the car."

"Sibling things." Elijah winked playfully making her chuckle and have Angelo roll his eyes over them.

Angelo glanced at home and caught her eye seizing the opportunity to ask, "Do you want me to drop you?"

She thought about it. Her husband, no less than a boss, dropping her.

It wasn't a bad thought, to be honest. Exact to think about it Alexis could use the special treatment. 

"Yes, sure you can." She smiled. 

********

Her door was opened by none other than her husband whose arm she held as she walked into the building. 

A degree in Management could not come handy at a better time. 

"Ah, there you are." The CEO greeted them. "Mr Alessandro and Mrs Alessandro, might I say you look gorgeous." He greeted with a smile and praised making her laugh loudly and thank him. 

Small talks over she were led to her new office, which of course was temporary but no one has to know that. 

"I would send in an experienced secretary to you a few minutes. Then you can get settled in." The CEO advised and left with a polite nod in the end. 

She turned to her husband once the man left after closing the door behind him. "What is it that a CEO could owe you?" 

He had already taken a seat and answered her with the scoff, "honey, no one gets rich in this world without a few favours from the underworld."

"Hmm," she hummed and rounded the desk, taking her seat and then looked around the room. This was going to be her scenery for the next few days or weeks. 

"Are you sure?" He asked once again as he typed something on his phone. "There's nothing wrong in backing out." 

She shook her head. "I want to be involved in life indirectly enough to have their whole day directed towards me. Enough to have them thinking about me all the time."

He squinted his eyes at her, trying to grasp the meaning of her words which had an underlying meaning that he had no idea about. Too much was hidden from him but he won't intrude. No, this time. 

This time he was going to be observed. 

"Alright then," he got up and kissed her forehead. "Have a nice first day." 

She smiled and thanked him. Watching him leave, she turned around to the windows and took out her phone and called someone. 

"Hello, Madison? Yes, I am glad that you remember me. Anyway, can you come to Chicago? I think I have a good job offer for you. A desk job. Yes, not too long tho-" someone opened the door but she silenced them with a raised finger, "As quickly as possible, I have other waiting in line too." She hung up and turned around.. With a wide smile and dangerous glint in her eyes, she said, "Oh Jeff, you must be the assistant."
