Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 229

After a lot of rest and another quick round of sex, life for them was back to normal. Alexis had been forwarded the numbers of many event planners who were excited to work with the name of the family yet Alexis could not decide which one was she to choose.

She flipped through the pages and so did Nikita. They were good and it was a real chore to choose which one.

“I don’t get it,” Nikita closed the book with some force, “how is it that women like Isobel can choose so quickly and we, for the past two hours, have been just flipping pages to see which one is good. Mind you, everyone is!”

Alexis muttered still flipping through her pages, “Isobel does not care about the money. If things do not go according to the way she wants to, she simply cancels the whole event. Which I do not want, neither can.”

Nikita tsked in return. “All I wanted was a place to go every day and just work. Be busy or something. Never had I imagined that it would be such a big and long process.”

Alexis merely nodded letting the woman continue her rant.

“There is so much to do. Given that you would have to throw your party for the family, then a launch party and then Christmas party.” That had Alexis’s attention. “Since the Don had been unmarried, the next in command; Silvano and I had been hosting the Christmas party, the duty’s on to you.”

“Woah, Woah, oh, hold up!” Alexis held a finger up closing for a book as she focused on Nikita. “I was planning for one and if not then at most two, how the hell am I supposed to plan all three parties in a month?”

Nikita looked a bit shocked too but innocently shrugged her shoulders. “Well. it’s kind of a given thing…”

“Which is?” Alexis gritted out the word and urged her to continue.

“Which..” she laughed nervously, “I might have forgotten to mention..”

Alexa stood up with a tight lip smile on her face. “Well, then I know who is going to help me with it all.” She walked out of the lovely office in the New York mansion.

She walked was the kitchen ready to have a good cup of coffee and awaken her mind even more. if she had three parties to plan, she was sure that she was going to get as many headaches as she had gotten in a lifetime or maybe even double.

“Here ma’am,” The chef placed a steaming cup of coffee in front of her and she moved out after thanking him.

“Ah, there you are. I was wondering where you had gone.” Julia called from the living room couch that she was sitting in along with Juliette and Isabelle on a single seat. Isabelle looked like she could be anywhere else rather than here.

“I was working on a few things.” She elaborated a tiny detail and took a seat after finally taking pity on her mother-in-law’s expression.

“Well nevermind that,” Julia waved her hand away and Alexis wanted nothing more but to stomp on it. “I was just reminding Isabelle of the party that Juliette threw for the ladies. It was I guess.. 3 weeks of your wedding,” Juliette confirmed as she nodded to Julia. “Ah, see. One marvellous party it was, everyone was talking about it for weeks.”

“No, they weren’t,” Isabelle mouthed the words as she shook her head making Alexis hide her smile under her hand.

“I’m sure it was great.” She threw a polite smile to Juliette which she returned making Alexis looked back at her in shock and then she noticed.

Either she had applied to much blush or.. and her neck was not properly covered in foundation. She had done a quick job with no experience. A grave realisation settled in.

“By the way, in two months, it would be your first anniversary right?” Alexis nodded as she felt her eyebrow twitch a bit, she had made her point but no, this twiddledumbass had to continue until she had made it too obvious.

“Hmm, well must hurry then.” She smiled.

Alexis smiled back, god her cheeks hurt. How did this woman do it?

“Good things take time,” Alexis stated. “I’m sure you would see it too.” She winked. The old hag wasn’t the only one who knew how to poke people. In Alexis’s line of work, she had provoked many people to get a reaction she wanted and information too. So a woman with no experience about how the world worked outside her petty household games was nothing but an ant that Alexis could crush anytime she wanted.

The day moved on and they had continued to talk about the parties coming up. She had to find a new way to do something traditional yet with her touch of the modern being. And with Julia right at her door, this was going to be tough.

“Agatha?” She called the woman who answered the call, “yes, tell Juliette I am inviting her to come for a walk with me in the gardens. Preferably with tea and snacks too. Take the order of her preferred snacks too.” On Agatha’s acknowledgement, she hung up.

“Ma’am,” Blake poked his head in after knocking, “May I?”

Alexis smiled, her tiredness going away for a moment. “Yes, how are you?”

“Fine, ma’am. Good. I have the information you wanted and I confirmed it by looking into the system too.” Alexis nodded at him to continue, “Jayden and Jeff are officially divorced and both are leaving the state. Jayden is going to Miami, it’s a different part, the opposite of where you stayed and the later to Tennessee.”

An unknown feeling ran through her heart but she nodded at him. As he left she stood up and once again looked into a mirror.

…What was it? This feeling was foreign…yet..

“Ma’am.” She turned around. There was no knock, she frowned. She knew that and no one came without knocking.

“Liam?” She tilted her head a bit, not liking his stepping over the line. “Something that important?”

He nodded with a sullen expression.
