Chapter 3 Sunday day off.

ALEXANDER'S POV

Those who should be a big problem have been cleaned up, the rest will be dealt with, with time.

Glancing at the watch sitting on my wrist, I see that it is already past ten.

I wont be able to pay grandfather a visit anymore then.

About to walk out, my eyes catch the file my assistance dropped on table and I pick it up.

Taking a quick browse a frown appears on my lip.

This analysis is a whole level better than the one she made this morning.

It can't be that she is a slacker right? I narrow my eyes, placing the file back on the desk.

If it is so, I can't keep her.

I grab my suit jacket sitting on the chair and walk out the room, heading towards the elevator.

VICTORIA'S POV.

The next morning I make sure to arrive extra early. Unfortunately I don't know if Mr Stone prefers Coffee or tea so I withhold making him a morning drink.

Running to the legal depart to get some documents, when I return he has already arrived.

"Good morning Mr Stone." I place the files that needs his signature, and the schedule for today on the table. "Would you like coffee or tea?'

"Coffee." He says curtly.

"Sweet, extra sweet or bland?" I ask.

"Bland."

"Be right back."

I walk to the break room, brewing him a cup of coffee in minutes.

Now. What do we have to do today?

Looking at my desk, I let out a sigh.

There sure is a lot.

Trying to finish as much as possible, while watching the time. I turn off my computer the moment it strikes eleven.

Heading to remind Mr stone of the meeting appointment scheduled at 11:30.

The location is a cafe not too far from the company, and I accompany him for the almost one hour meeting. The partnership was formed pretty smoothly.

When we return I check on the other departments on the ongoing hotel project, running up and down between three different floors preparing the project updates while also reporting to Mr Stone who isn't any less busy than myself.

At four we attend an appointment with a partner where I get to take notes while also trying to look as professional as possible.

At eight in the evening, everything is finally settled.

I step out from the elevator after Mr stone, as we return back to our floor. My head unsettled on my neck.

Jeez I am so tired.

"What is next?"

Hearing his question, I double check the schedule in my hand. "Nothing else. We are all done for today."

"Okay." With long strides he walks to his office, shutting the door behind him.

Today's work was extra hectic, is he not going to go home?

Bro, isn't this too much? Are you perhaps a robot or something?

While complaining under my breath, I return to my desk, firmly planting my ass on the chair.

Since the chairman is working so hard I can't slack off either.

I crack my fingers, putting on my battle glasses.

While I know this is as a result of my competitive nature, I can't resist the trait which has stuck to me after graduating as the best student in my class in uni.

Besides by helping Mr Stone prepare business reports from the past years I will able to learn them my self, which is a win, win.

Since the best way to learn it to teach others.

And now, that is how you hypnotize yourself to work.

★★★★★★

After long days of trying to put everything in order while singlehandedly supporting my workaholic boss it is finally weekend.

I mean Sunday. Since I have to work on Saturdays too and Sunday's are my only resting days.

Opening my eyes to the sight of golden sunlight pouring in from the window feels heavenly. I really don't wish to get out of the warm comfort of my bed, but my grumbling stomach violently argues against it.

Unlike the weekdays where I have to be up by at least five, the clock on the table next to my bed says it's almost ten.

Guess I really was tired uhh?

Smiling to myself, I hum a nursery rhyme under my breath as I enter the bathroom to take a bath.

Using the electric brush to brush my teeth afterwards and then combing my hair and braiding it into two loose ponytails.

Changing into a big t-shirt and an equally comfortable baggy pants, I bounce out of the room.

I just step into the living room when I see Ana walking right out of the kitchen door.

Draped in her blue blankets that drags along the floor behind her like a trail. Her messy hair covering almost the whole of her face.

Her hands are gripping a big bag of cheese balls that she must have probably stolen from the kitchens cabinet.

"Good morning Vicky " She says nasally, dragging her feet pass me and up the stairs to her room.

I guess.

"Good morning to you too?" I say hesitantly before continuing on my way.

Guess I will see her in the afternoon then. Ana really isn't a morning person.

First thing first. I need my morning coffee.

Huh....I probably need to exercise too. I need to stay healthy.

You need to stay healthy Victoria!!

First I will have the coffee. It's already late outside so I can't go for a run, but a little stress will do. Then I will check on my emails, do my pending laundry, also I should remember to shop for some sweaters, it's really getting cold lately.

After that-i will just sleep for the rest for the day.

Yeah. That's a good plan.

I have just finished my coffee, nodding along with the plan in my head when the door bell rings.

"Huh....who is it?" I say to myself, putting down my mug on the counter. I don't think I was expecting anyone.

Heading to the living room, I open the door but there is no one there.

"What the fuc-uhk-ohh..." I quickly swallow the curse as my eyes lower to the ground.

A baby? In a baby sitter.

His eyes brighten as he looks up at me. Cutely calling out. "Mama!!"

"Oh Lord!!" I mutter under my breath.

MARINA!!!!!
