The Proud Boss Lady.

“I was right to come to get you from the office," Zed said walking into Freya's office. She had an important meeting coming up with some of the top fashionistas all over and she was panicking, trying to make sure everything goes on well.

“Babe, just five more---"

She was cut off by Zed who planted a kiss on her lips making her respond immediately.

“You need some rest and pampering love." He caressed her face.

“But, I got work to do." She sighed.

“You got this Freya, they are going to love everything you do. Already they love your collection, so relax stop beating up yourself." Zed added picking up her bag.

“Are you done saving your files?" He asked as she nodded affirmatively.

“Let's go get some rest." He took her hand as they walked out together.

Lex sat at the back of his apartment thinking about his mom's passing. He had seen her a couple of days ago and now she was no more. She was his only surviving parent and family member. She was his best friend in the entire universe, and now she had left him alone in this cruel world.

How I'm I supposed to live without you Mummy? He lamented.

Hailey stood behind him watching him sit in silence and stare into the skies.

“Lex?" She called out to him sitting beside him.

“Are you okay?" She asked as he shook his head.

“What's the problem?" She inquired making him sigh.

“I just lost my mom two days ago." He whispered.

She didn't say anything but just hugged him tight, she felt he needed that.

“We've got you, you will be fine." She said to him feeling his pain.

Though her mom wasn't dead, but to her and Keith both parents were dead. They never gave a hoot about them, all they did was to provide food, clothing, shelter and education for them and nothing more. Others would have jumped at the opportunity if they had. There was no parental love, no mother's love or father's guidance. They only had time for their over-pampered brat, Soraya and no one else.

“Thank you for staying with me." Lex stared into his girlfriend's eyes.

“My pleasure." She smiled.
