Invitation for President Maxwell

Luther Maxwell POV

I walked into Delight's entrance with a cold look scaring the employees to their bones as I normally do. I felt my phone ring in my pocket as I walked to my private elevator. I checked my phone to see that it was my assistant Mike calling, so I picked up the call "good morning sir, we have found the person who leaked the project, it was assistant director Andrews " he said before I could let out a word "okay" I said with a cleched Jaws as I pressed the elevator button to assistant director Andrews floor.

I strode out of the elevator to assistant director Andrews with a menacing look and I did not forget to pass cold glare to the employees greeting me as I passed by them. I barged into the office without knocking to see assistant director Andrews scrambling to his feet, to greet me.

"You are fired and the police will be here to take you to where you belong" I said in a chilly voice as his eyes widened in shock probably found out he has been caught

"Sure, I did not want to do it, I needed the money" he yelled as I walked out of the office. The policeman were already around, after some questioning he was taken away.

I step out of the office used for interrogation when I saw a delivery man giving a lady who is an employee a banquet of flower. I got to remember how I used to send flowers to Amanda, my heart softened a little bit when I remembered the incident that led to her death. My face hardened as I walked towards the lady and yelled

"If you are not where to work while don't you get the hell out of here"

I walked out into the elevator as soon as I said those words, only to hear the lady sobs. I let out a sigh to pacify the anger and hurt that seemed to overwhelm me. As soon as the elevator opened I strode out and walked past Mike my personal assistant, who greeted me but I ignore. I walked into my office and sat on my leather chair when I saw Mike with a disturbed face.

"Good morning sir" he greeted me

I I nodded, since I was not in the mood to talk to anyone. Then he proceeded.

"I was busy on the laptop when I got notified that someone was trying to intrude into your account but the owner seems not to be an expert, so it was easy to hack her account" he narrated

"And who dared to spy on me" I asked, curiously forgetting about the earlier event.

"The account name read Jessica Mary Wesley". He dropped a file. "The file contains the background of the lady. To my surprise, she was the one transferred from Kyle's in New Orleans here yesterday", he said finally.

I flipped through the pages of the file but I felt something was not right. Her hometown and her mother's name reminded me of my first love, Amanda. I got interrupted by my thoughts when Mike cleared his throat loudly.

"Are you sure she was just employed by my company", I asked to be sure.

" Yes sir, she resumed today but left some hours ago to pack her belongings from the hotel to the apartment given to her" he told me.

"Mail her, I will need to have some conversation with her in my favorite restaurant', I said.

"Well, that will not be necessary. I have already done justice to her, so there is no need to meet her" he emphasized.

"Still on my word, book the restaurant and send her the address. We will be meeting after her work tomorrow" I yelled.

He wanted to protest but I gave him the don't-you-dare-look he smiled and left. Immediately

Mike has been my personal assistant ever since. He is the only one that knows and understands every reason for my actions and relates to me freely even when I don't feel like talking.

My heart began to beat heavily immediately Mike left.

"It is a wrong assumption, Amanda can not be alive, I buried her with my hands"I thought as I loosen up my tie on the collar of my shirt.

Jessica POV

I sighed heavily after taken a look at my crashed computer. I stood up and adjusted my dress as I left for Claire's house. I strode to the bus station about a stone thrown from my apartment, I sat down on a vacant seat after paying with my credit card. After some minutes I got down from the bus, walked a bit when I spotted Claire walking towards my direction

"Claire" I screamed happily

"I knew you would be any where near my apartment so I decided to come for you" she said as she gave me a hug

"You look more beautiful than before" she said as she withdrew from the hug. I walked into her house without answering her question "you never change a bit" she said as she played with my nose

"Am cool with that" I replied

"How as being your last two months when you left San Francisco the other time" she asked teasingly as she placed a soda in a table

"Not special really happened" I said with a smile. I knew that was not the response she wanted to hear but I had to save my myself from unnecessary questions not knowing it was just the beginning from miss questionnaire

"Don't tell me you are still the way I left you?" She asked which I never plan to answer but the incident in the airport popped into my head

"You will not answer that question too" she said angrily interrupting my thought

"Will you pay attention and listen to the mist interesting incident that happened in the airport" I told her and she immediately jumped from her seat to mine

"I hope it is a romantic incident if not am not interested" she said as she gave me a_go_ahead_look.

I took my time to explain the whole encounter with Mr rude "he seems to be part of the eligible billionaire bachelor in his country the most painful thing was that I don't bother to ask for his name or the other man who was acting like his assistant because I was seriously angry then"

"I am terribly disappointed in you." Well, it's all your fault that you chose not to learn from the expert, it's not too late to reconsider your decision," she said.

"I don't need your help. But you will be surprise when you realize am also in a relationship" I said as I gulped in the soda

"And when that relationship fails, feel free to meet to console yourself, I am always at your service," she scoffs.

I drifted from the relationship talk when I realized it was getting me tensed.

"I have to let you know, I found my dad," I said at the time she was taking out her drink immediately.

"President Luther Maxwell is my father" I blurted out

"President what!" Came her responses in shock, and I nodded positively

"Delight's owner here, are you sure of what you're saying" she asked in a fuzzy state.

"What did you think determined me to get a job at Delight," I asked in a rhetorical way.

Claire couldn't stomach the whole story so she started moving from right to left permanently.

"You know, I can't believe it."

"I acted three times the way you did because I couldn't believe it until my mom took out the photos they took," I explained.

"Then what's your plan," she requested.

"I've decided to lay low until he figures it out," I replied.

It's disguised happiness. Before he realizes will take a lot of time, and when he knows what will he do?" She asked but got interrupted when my phone beeped loudly, I took the phone only to see the notification on my email that I have an invitation to eat with the president of Delight tommorow after work

"What" I yelled but Claire didn't understand why I reacted until she read the message herself.

"Jess, this is a wait that comes true," said Claire.
