Who & What are You?

Chapter 3

------Alex POV---------

"Ah!" I sigh, sitting back in my desk chair, I have finally finished all the paperwork, I quickly fax it off to a few people and slip it into one of my documents, I do not wish to come back to office, I think I will work from home for a while.

I sort the files out before locking my office door behind me and taking the elevator down to the lobby. "Good bye Mr. Xavier" the women at the front desk calls. I nod, barely looking at her.

"Where to sir?" my driver asks, puling open the door for me.

"Starbucks" I reply, getting comfortable in the black leather seats. The drive is smooth and quick, he parks in the parking lot of the mall, I mutter a thank you before stepping out, scrolling through a few e-mails as I go.

'Mr Xavier someone calls, I look up to see a middle aged woman with a daughter who looks around 7 years old, I raise an eyebrow, I don't know her. 'My name is Ayla' she continues, I was wondering if I could have your autograph, I'm a shop owner and am also a huge fan of your hard-work'

I sigh lightly, before pulling out a parker pen from the pocket of my suit. I sign a piece of paper which she hands me before returning it to her, 'Thank You sir!' its not unusual for me to get stopped by for getting an autograph or a picture, a few teenage girls ask me as well but I guess they just have a crush on me. Paparazzi often follow me to important meetin- wait they follow me everywhere I go whether its abroad or a party. After all I am richest man in the whole of US.

I stand patiently in line at Starbucks, only a few people in front of me, I run my tongue across my lips as I watch a couple seated on a table, drinks and an empty plate in front of them, I couldn't help but over-hear their snippets of their conversation.

'JamesI love you' the girl speaks, 'I don't care if you're a bus driver or amulti-millionaire I love you for who you are James, not for your money and job'
I look away as they kiss, 'I don't care if whether your a bus driver or a multi billionaire, I love you for who you are' the words kept ringing in my head, that is true love. That is what I want, but cannot find.

As I near the counter, a magazine caught my eye,'Owner of Rochelle gets dumped!' It shows a picture of Kean Addams, the famous jewelry shop named Rochelle. He is a close friend of mine and has a girlfriend named Leah, they've been dating since the past 2 years. Intrested, I picked the magazine turning to to the page number indicated on the front cover.

'Addams girlfriend dumps him in front of 100s at the Emporers Buffet, after she admits she sleeping with 3 other men during their 2 year relationship' My eyebrows raise as I continue 'Leah also announces that she is also pregnant with the latest fling, Addam is said to be heart broken and was later seen in tears'.

I put the magazine back, not bothering to read any more, my mind began to compare the relationship between Kane and Leah and the girl and James. James and his girlfriend is what you call commeners experience true love because people love them for who they are, whereas rich people are liked for their wealth.

My mothers words come back to me,' by the end of the year I want to see you with a fianće' i thought it would be easy seeing as I am a handsome billionaire, but it's the other way around, it would be easier if I am a commener.
