ALEX's POV
I still remember how life was when I first came here. I was always a shadow of myself and I came to drink myself away, I just wanted to die that time.
But now, life and the whole world was making more sense to me, and I came to do what I loved the most - work, meet people who could help me work better and also discuss business, not because I was going to die.
There was nothing that interested me, like business and making money. The smell of those new notes to my nose was a huge turn on to me but there was still something missing. Not just one thing, but there was something that made my heart ache when I wanted to smile brightly, or when I feel I was on top of the world.
Maybe if I knew what that thing is, I would no longer have any issues and I would be free as a bird, happy as a child.
Now that I was still stuck in so many thoughts of how things could be better for me, I walked down slowly from the noise which filled the room, and went to the bar attendant to fill my groveling belly, craving for some whiskey.
I turned to see the room filled with so many people talking at the same time, with their glasses to their mouth, and I turned back to see what looked like the most beautiful thing ever.
"Maybe it is just a dream", I muttered to myself as I turned my head right back to the crowd and turned it back slowly, hoping to see the bar attendant again, but I saw this beauty staring at me in a more intimidating manner this time, his smile was intimidating, and it felt as though I would be completely swept off my feet if I stired a little more at him.
I have not seen this face before. Not once throughout my coming for professional meetings, so I was sure that this was not a business tycoon like I am, he probably was a slut who just came here to seduce the ladies, just like other prostitutes.
"Hi m'lady, have you noticed why the whole room is lit up tonight? Well, no surprise it's that way because of your beautiful smile" he said, blinking at me, in some kind of seductive way and I knew that my fears were true.
I tried to ignore him, firmly letting him know that I wasn't his kind, but he would not stop, he was unrelenting with pouring out the drink for me, and licking his lips to show me how interested he was in me, even beyond what he had to serve me.
"You know I could serve you so well here, and there", his eyes went to the direction of the toilet and the other room, and I knew immediately what he was referring to, but I still did not get up and walk out on him, maybe even give him a slap before I go, instead I felt my pants got wet with his words.
This guy was hot! And I could not help but feel so different when he spoke to me. Every one of his words and his gestures had so much effect on me, more than I thought it could.
What was so different about him?
He was dressed corporately like every other person in the room, in a white suit, and even though I could not see his shoes, I knew it would have as much luxury as the suit he was putting on.
The aura around him was one that spelt out beauty, more than being handsome. His lips were shiny as his eyeballs and they looked so soft from afar that my thoughts wandered into if they would be the same way on my lips.
His nose was not too pointed, but broad like his chest were, and to crown it all, his chest was left open, the white shirt he wore in the white suit was not well buttoned so his chest was visible and he looked just like a snack.
It felt as though he noticed my eyes were all over him as he said "You look so beautiful too" and he smiled gentlemanly but it still gave off the vibe of a lion who was able to tear me apart.
Maybe that was what I wanted, or the alcohol I have been taking from him to avoid eye contact with him was making me so drowsy already. This could not be the Alex of the Thompson's Empire, the brave and fierce lady who all her business rivals feared.
Maybe this was what has been missing the whole time. Maybe this was it.
"Ethan" he said, his eyes more fixed on my cleavage and I found myself aching forward to show him a little more of it, I was determined to give him all he wanted to see, and have a full of it.
"Alexander, but you can call me Alex" I said, satisfied that he liked what he was seeing, and with that, he walked officially to my side, leaving my mouth wide open at how breathtaking he was.
He was about 6'4 inches tall, and that was just so perfect for me.
"Let's talk more" he said to me, and the next twenty minutes found me saying all sorts of things that I wasn't even sure I meant to him. I kept telling him how good looking he was, like I have never seen a man before.
In that short time, I told him how much of a business lover he was, and I knew I was more than tipsy, because I was even sharing to him a few details on how I wanted to crush my competitors and he just enjoyed what he was hearing, saying less.
"I love you" I finally said, and it felt as though I had been keeping it in my heart for so long and I just had to let it out.
He just stood up and looked around briefly, before he bent down and whispered to my ears "Let me usher you to the other room, m'lady"
I stood up gently with knowing eyes, but ignored whatever agenda he had for me because I felt it would be good and I cannot regret it. Man was looking too good to be true.
At that moment, I sent a message to my driver and my guards to go home, and assured them I was fine, and thank heavens this was not the first time I would be doing this, so they were not so surprised.
