Chapter - 81
"Alex, look who is... he...re..." Just as Margaret was about to kiss Alex, Martha walked into his room. All the vibe died down, because of the shock, Margaret ended up missing her target, and her lips were kissing Alex's headboard.
Alex was looking at his mother over Margaret's shoulder in shock while Martha was looking at the bare ass of Margaret in front of her.
"Mom? What are you doing here?" Alex asked. He was surprised to see his mother miraculously appear in the room.
"What am I doing here? What the hell the two of you are doing in broad daylight," Martha asked, pointing at Margaret's bare ass.
"Mom... Don't panic and listen to me. This is all but a misunderstanding. The situation is not what you are seeing, but it is what you are not able to see," Alex tried to explain to his mother.
"Are you playing mumble-jumble with me?" Martha was irritated.
"Mom, let me explai---" Alex tried to explain once more but was interrupted.
"Alex, how are you feeling now? We heard you got a fev..." Hazel walked in, followed by others from his office but like Martha, Hazel, Ellaine, Jennifer, and Karen stood rooted at their spot, speechless by the sight of an ass in front of them.
With her face away from everyone else, Margaret was cursing the timing of everyone. First, when Martha walked in, Margaret thought that she would let Alex do the explaining, and then she would face Martha, but now god knows how many more are staring at her ass.
"What are you doing?" Ellaine asked.
"Why are you all here?" Alex asked.
"Who is she?" Ellaine ignored his question and asked, pointing at Margaret.
It was only then, did Alex thought about the position they were in, "Ahhh!" He cried out in alarm and pushed Margaret to the sides. Margaret had never in her wildest dreams would have thought that Alex would do something like this. Rolling over the bed, Margaret ended up falling on the side, and her ass was finally out of everyone's sight.
Everyone was left jaw-dropped on seeing how cruel Alex can be. Alex almost face-palmed himself and hurried towards Margaret. Taking the support of the edge, he wanted to help Margaret, who laid there with her haggard appearance winching in pain, but as luck would have it, he lost his balance and was lying on Margaret.
Smacking her forehead, Martha turned towards Karen and the others, "I am sorry you had to witness something like this. Let's head downstairs and give them some time to tidy up," Martha still had not lost her composure despite the shock.
Then Martha looked at Alex, whose everything except for his ass was hiding behind the bed, "I need both of you downstairs in five minutes," Martha said and left the room with the ladies, closing the door behind her.
Alex raised his hand, showing her a thumbs up, even though she was gone.
"It's so squishy," Alex murmured.
"Get off me, and I will show you what squishy is," Margaret said, gnashing her teeth.
Alex, who had his face resting on Margaret's big, soft titties, reluctantly looked up only to find her glaring at him in wrath.
Alex knew what was going on. Those soft boobies may have let him experience the bliss, but he didn't forget the way he threw Margaret off the bed. He quickly got off of her and stood straight in attention.
Margaret, on the other hand, struggled to get up. The fall really did a number on her. With hateful eyes, she looked at Alex, who was sneakily looking at her in glee.
"Are you going to help me or not?" Margaret finally asked.
"You just had to say the word," Alex said as he crouched down and with his one hand beneath her back and the other on her ass, he picked her up in one go.
"Now, what are you doing? Leave me this instant," Margaret wriggled and protested to Alex handling her like a sack.
"Now... now... you should be careful of your words," Alex said, smirking, "And you were the one who started all this."
"What else is left for me to be careful about. Those from your office have already seen everything," Margaret felt bitter saying this.
"Oh, shit," as soon as he remembered about Karen and the others, he let go of Margaret. Lucky for her, this time, there was the bed beneath her.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Alex freaked out.
"Why are you the one freaking out? Have you thought about me? I just had my ass on display for everyone to see. What if some guy just stared at my ass? Won't you feel anything?" Margaret asked. She was not very pleased by Alex's response.
"You don't have to worry about that," Alex was non-bothered about her worry, "I am the only guy in the whole PR department."
"Even so..." Though Margaret sighed in relief, it was not enough of an assurance for her, but Alex was in no mood to pay heed to her.
"The real problem is how am I going face, my colleagues, now?" Alex asked Margaret with a pleading face. He hoped that Margaret would give him some decent advice.
"Why are you asking me? You are not concerned about my face, so why should I care about yours?" Margaret asked, astonished by Alex's behaviour.
"But they don't even know you," Alex said.
"Well..." It was true that they didn't know her, but it was not much of assurance to her. Still, she decided to stop bickering with Alex.
"What will Karen think about me?" Alex murmured to himself, but Margaret's sharp ears picked it up.
'Karen? Who is she? Is she that manager that he brags about?' Margaret womanly instincts kicked in, the moment she heard that name.
"Alex!" Martha called out from downstairs. The five minutes deadline was up.
"Coming!" Alex yelled from his room.
"Let's go," Alex said as he looked at Margaret, "Let's get it over with." Hopeless and discouraged he talked to himself.
Margaret nodded as she followed behind Alex.
"What's the worst that can happen?" Alex talked to himself.
"They will think of me as a sex maniac. Indulging in intercourse in the afternoon..."
"My life, my rules. I will have sex with anyone I want and whenever I want..."
"Who are they to judge..."
"Will you stop it?" Margaret smacked the back of his head as they climbed down the stairs. He was blabbering on and on, nonstop, and Margaret couldn't help but feel hot with embarrassment.
Caressing his head, Alex and Margaret walked into the living room under everyone's gaze and stood in front of them like students waiting for their punishment.
"How are you feeling?" Martha asked. While they were waiting downstairs, she thought it won't be right of her to question and scold Alex in front of his colleagues.
"I am fine," Alex nodded without meeting eyes with Martha.
Martha nodded and then looked at everyone else, "I will bring something for you all to drink. Please be comfortable," saying this, she left from there.
"I will go and help Mrs Rutherford," sensing an opportunity, Margaret too slid away.
Now Alex was left alone under a lot of questioning eyes.
There was complete silence in the hall for a while. It was finally Ellaine who broke the ice, "What was that all about, Alex? And who is she?"
Ellaine was not on talking terms with Alex for some time, but right now, she looked the grumpiest of all. The cute, innocent boy they thought of him was nothing but a facade.
"Well... You know she... She is... She is... Well, I will tell you that later. First of all, what are you all doing here anyway?" Alex counter questioned.
"Well..." Jennifer was the one to explain.

** Couple of hours earlier
In the PR department of Theation
Karen was looking at a file in front of her, but her mind was wandering somewhere else. She would occasionally look outside her glass window in hopes of finding Alex sitting on his desk working. She knew in her mind that it was not possible, but her heart hoped for it. Karen tried hard to divert her mind by working, but no matter what, she could not concentrate on her work.
Not able to take it anymore, she walked out of her office and went to Amber.
"Amber, have you talked to Alex? How is he now?" Karen asked.
"The last time I talked to him was yesterday after he reached home. I haven't really got the chance to talk to him today," Amber said.
Karen nodded and was about to leave when Hazel called out for her.
"Chief, why don't we visit him after office hours? After all, he is our beloved newbie, and this is already the second time that he got injured in such a short span," Hazel suggested.
"I think he will be glad to see us there," Jennifer agreed. After that, everyone insisted on visiting Alex.
It didn't take even a second for Karen to ponder. She agreed right away, "It's decided then we will pay him a visit. But not all of us are going there," Karen said.
Everyone nodded.
"Chief, you have to go. Ellaine, me, and Jennifer will tag along with you. After all, we are the most senior here," Hazel suggested.
"Fine and since we don't have much work to do today, let's go now, and the rest of you can go home," Karen said as she turned around and went to her cabin.
"Yeeeeaaahhhh!" All of them screamed in joy.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"What do you mean why are we here? We were worried about you when we heard that you got injured," Ellaine said.
"And then your mother told us that you had fever too," Hazel continued.
"I am fine. You could have just called me," Alex said as he cursed his fate.
"Well, we can see that," Hazel said as she gave looked at him with a smirk, "But if we had just called you, how could have we witnessed that sensual scene of yours?" Hazel wasn't going to leave this matter aside.
"I told you, it's not like what it looks like," Alex said, trying to sound helpless and genuine.
"Yeah! Yeah! And we are five-year-olds to believe your words," Ellaine said sarcastically.
Alex looked around in hope, but from the way all of them were looking at him, he could feel that no one really believed him.
