The morning breeze was just what I need to calm me do. I was on my way to Alex's Company with Hennessy.

The breeze rushed in my hair as I drove down the highway, the company's about 30 minutes from the house but I assumed we'd reach in 15 because well, let's admit am not a slow driver and this muscle car didn't really helped the situation.

"Slow down, I ain't in any rush to die," Henny said from shotgun.

"Oh, shush," 

We arrived in front of the large important-looking building. Honestly I was just the third wheel for Hennessy and Castro. But I had my interest in coming her too let's say.

We saw the company's first line of defense the real life barbie doll. Hennessy flashed her hips and made her presence known to barbie doll. 

"Good morning and how may I help you?" She said flashing us a smile as fake as her ass.

"Peach cake, am here to see the boss. You know that guy you haven't banged as yet?" Hennessy smiled daringly back to her.

She rolled her eyes and made a phone call. She nods her head towards the elevators, indicating we could go up.

We entered the elevators and I pushed the top floor button. The doors were nearly closed when we heard shouting " Wait please hold the doors!". We held the doors and a very cute guy walked in.

He sighed,"Thanks a million, can't be late for the first day of work right?". His British accent was thick and kinda hot too

I smiled still taking in his cuteness. "Calvin," He said flashing me a dimpled smile.

I smiled "Rem-" 
"Remedy and I'm Hennessy," 

"Well, thanks Remedy and Hennessy"

"No prob,"

He waved as he got off and walked down the hall. The elevator doors closed and Hennessy and I started screaming.

"Oh my god did you see those dimples?" Hennessy screamed. We started to giggles as we exit the elevator and found Alex's office.

We try our best to compose ourselves to face Castro ad Alex. We walked into the familiar office and the interior design was breathtaking as usual. 

Alex sat around the a large desk, that was just too shiny. We knocked and made our presences known. 
He looked up from his paperwork and glance up at us. His green eyes roamed up and down my body then met with my muddy eyes. I stared back, lost in his glowing paradise. He looked professional in his grey two-piece suit, complimented with a white shirt and grey silk tie. In summary, he looked drop-dead gorgeous.

"Sorry I'm late boss," A very familiar British accent said from behind us. The door was pushed open and Calvin walked into the office, breaking our little eye conversation.

Alexander looked at him and his jaw began to clench. Did they take punctuality that serious here? But then it's your first day on the job, you could have made the effort?

"What are you doing here?" Alex said through his teeth.

"Oh sorry again I'm the employee send from Sunkissed Jewellery, I here to make sure the deal goes down," Calvin said. Me and Hennessy hanging by his every British word falling from his mouth.

"You're fired!" Alex yelled at Calvin. What?! I don't think because you were late this one time you deserve to be fired.

"Alexander Antonio Figuero you will not fire this man because he was late, you hear me?" Hennessy popped in the conversation.

Alex hung his head loosely and released a dead chuckle. I stood my grounds and watch the events unravel before me. Alex made eye contract with Calvin. The intense was stifling me. There was a big-ass elephant in the room and neither of us wish to acknowledge it.

Calvin glared challenging at Alex. Cocky much aren't we?

"Fine , just get out of my office," Alex finally gave up after minutes of the show down. "Gladly," Calvin smirked and turned to me. "Remedy, aren't you looking lovely today love," he winked at me.

"I SAID GET OUT!!!!!!" Alex stood and yelled. Calvin turned back to him, gave him a lazy salute and walked out the door.

Drama.
As the door were shut Hennessy and I burst out laughing. We laughed until tears came to our eyes. Alex looked at us annoyed and pissed at the same time causing more laughter to erupt.

Castro walked in. He raised a brow at us, looking a bit confused at the maniac laughing. 

"Okay," Castro concluded and walked over to Alex's desk. They started the whisper angrily about something. 

We composed ourselves and stood facing them. "So how are you guys doing? we just came to see how's everything at the office but mister angry pant over here," indicating Alexander," Went all commando on an employee,"

"Mhmm, I heard" Castro looked at bit pale. 

We decided to head back home an see if we could prepare dinner. We debated between shrimp pasta or Lasagna. Of course Shrimp pasta won. 

Hennessy swung by the grocery shop and got the ingredients. We cooked and laughed at Castro bad habits that Hennessy thought was cute. Hennessy seem to like the idea of Calvin and I, but there was something off about him?

Was it his cocky smirk or the way he challenged Alex to fire him?

Alexander POV

I pushed the remaining paper work in my brief case, slung it over my shoulder. Seeing him today was definitely not good, some how they were catching up on me. I still owed them and they sure as he'll ain't giving up and that.
"Nice to see there's still a little gangster left, Ace," a familiar voice spoke. I looked at the source and saw a tall and masculine stiletto in the corner.

Calvin.

Good know how long he's been standing there, in the shadows.

"What do you really want, Calvin?" I asked.
"You really think am tell you? This isn't some movie were you ask and I start to tell my whole plan," He said matter-of-factly,"No, after you took her from me, the boss gave me the OK to take you out, but where's the fun in that?"

With a smirk on this sinister face, he added, "back to old times then shall?" we?"
