William Mosley as Alec Hunt (He is my all time favorite <3 ;) )

I woke up at the sound of alarm. It was seven in the morning and that too a Monday morning. I wondered why I ever got a job this early in the morning. I know that's because I would have money to buy a place to live and buy food to eat. I quickly got dressed in a black skirt and a white blouse with a black blazer. I never liked these tight clothes but it was the company's policy so I had to wear them. I put on a little makeup to make myself decent and wore my black heels. I went to kitchen to make cereal as I wasn't in the mood to make myself a nice breakfast. I looked at the watch and it was now eight. I was not in the mood to walk two blocks so I called Terry. Terry was a high school student who drives taxi to earn his money for himself and his two younger siblings.

"Hey Terry, I need a lift." I said as soon as he picked up. I heard his chuckle.

"Sure I was just waiting for your call too. I know how lazy you are on Mondays. I'll be over in ten minutes." And he hung up. He soon arrived and dropped me off at my company. His Monday mornings always started like that. I was his first customer on Mondays.

I waved at the security guard, Larry. I might be miserable on the outside world but in this world, here at my company, I feel like heaven. I loved my work. I was friends with almost everybody or was acquainted with them. I pressed the button for the elevator as I worked on the top floor. I waited and waited for I don't know how long. I looked at the time and five minutes left or otherwise I would be late as my shift starts at 8:30. As the elevator opened, someone bumped into me to get in the elevator probably more late than me.

I looked up to see the guy who kept staring at me in the dinner, the very same who was going to call the police on Brandon. My eyes got wide.

"I am really sorry for bumping into you so hard. Did I hurt you?" He held the same concern in his voice that he had yesterday.

"No, it's okay." I just stood there not moving.

"You want to get on or something?" He asked holding the elevator for me.

"No, it's okay. You go I'll just take the stairs." I said as I ran towards the stairs and I looked back I saw him with wide eyes and mouth open staring at me like I was some crazy maniac.

Maybe I was some crazy maniac. Who in their right mind use the stairs while they are wearing heels to get to the top building in a five story building? But I was not going to stand in the elevator for god knows how long with that crazy stalker.

I caught the elevator on the second floor. I was late for the first time in my life since I had started working here and only because of that jerk.

"Hey Zoe, the boss is waiting for you. I already gave him the tea." As I walked in the office my colleague Danielle called after me.

"Thanks Danielle" I shouted as I put down my bag on my table and waited for my boss to call me.

"Good Morning, Mr. Hunt" I said as I entered the boss's office.

"Ah I see you found your way to my office." He chuckled at me. For almost a fifty year old man I thought he would be strict or stern. But he was very kind and calm with all the staff.

"I am extremely sorry sir. But there was rush at the elevator so I had to take the stairs." I half lied to him.

"Glad you made it." He smiled at me and gestured for me to sit. I sat down and started taking notes as he started speaking.

We were almost done with the today's schedule when we were cut by the opening of the door of the room inside the office.

"Dad, I c-..." As I looked up he stopped speaking. My breath got caught in my throat as I again saw him standing before me. I was going to yell at him to stop following me if hadn't Mr. Hunt stopped me.
