Alexandra parked her car in front of the company. The vulnerable, broken girl from a few moments ago vanished into thin air and there sat a fearless, confident woman who knew her worth and the power she held in the world.

She got out of the car to see people lined up to welcome the woman who paid their cheques.

Francesca, the only person on the planet Alexa truly trusted, her secretary for four years, came forward with an iPad in her hand.

"Good morning, ma'am" she greeted her boss, "You seem to have a pretty packed schedule today." 

She said professionally while glancing at the device in her hand.

"It's alright, we will finish the work in time. Gimme that." Alexandra said while extending a hand to get the iPad.

While reading her schedule for the day and listening to the details mentioned by Francesca carefully, Alexa maintained her brisk walk which made it harder for the other employees to keep up with her. 

Other than Francesca of course, she was used to it now.

"What's the update on the fashion week?" Alexa questioned.

"Since our many designs already got leaked during the plagiarism scandal our designers are working as fast as they can to fill up the spaces."

"Keep the leaked designs on the show."

"Sorry, what?!" Francesca asked bewildered.

"You know I don't like repeating myself, Francesca," Alexa stated firmly, 

"I said keep the leaked designs in the show. Not all of them of course. But the public might have given an opinion on them. Look into the designs that were favored and ask our designers to stick to that type for the future designs of this fashion week."

"Yes ma'am, understood, "Francesca replied. 

This is what Alexandra liked about Francesca, nothing, absolutely nothing can break her professionalism in the office.

"And one more thing" Alexa added while turning her head a little towards Francesca, 

"Release a statement to all media outlets stating that the fashion week would be postponed by a month. I do not want things to rush, I want perfect designs. I spent a lot of money on it."

Francesca;" Got it, ma'am, will do it."

Before she could talk about something else Alexa's phone rang, she saw it and it was her uncle.

She sighed and turned towards Francesca, "You go ahead, I will be there."

"Okay, ma'am"

"Hello?"

Federico O.T.P:  "Alexandra we have a family dinner tonight, be there by seven."

Alexa scrunched her nose and squeezed her eyes shut.

 She hated these family dinners from the core of her heart.

"I am very busy right now with this fashion week coming up." She attempted to make an excuse.

O.T.P: "You have other people to take care of that Alexa, you have to come and that's final ."

He cut the call.

She took a deep breath. She knew there was no way out. She had to go for dinner.
