The fight for alpha

Maxwell was a handsome, fair-skinned, gentle, and disciplined man, loved by the people. He was appointed as the new manager of Mount-Top Insurance Company after the mysterious death of the former company leader. During the appointment, Bright and Sofia were chosen to work directly with him as personal assistants. The event was grand, filled with fanfare, laughter, and admiration. Ladies surrounded him for pictures and exchanged affectionate gestures.

One day, while Maxwell was heading home, his car broke down. He had to take public transport. Coincidentally, two staff members who wanted to speak with him after their meeting entered the same vehicle. They greeted him with bright smiles.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Maxwell," they said.

"Thank you, ladies," Maxwell responded.

"You're welcome," they replied.

The first lady introduced herself. "My name is Efi."

"That's nice," said Maxwell.

The second lady added, "My name is Deborah, but my friends call me Debby."

"Nice to meet you both," said Maxwell. "I think you weren't at the meeting this afternoon?"

Efi responded, "No, we were sent to deliver a document."

As the car moved along, both ladies, who were seated beside Maxwell, began to touch him subtly. Feeling disturbed and restless by their inappropriate gestures, Maxwell eventually told the driver, "Sir, please stop here. I'll get down."

The ladies protested, "But sir, you haven't reached your destination."

"I know," he replied. "Thank you. I'm fine here."

After Maxwell alighted, the driver drove off. The ladies laughed.

Efi said, "That guy is so handsome and smells amazing. I must have him."

Deborah replied, "Not so fast. Let me have my chance."

Efi suggested, "Let's play the game-and whoever wins, gets him."

Still standing at the spot, Maxwell chuckled to himself. "What kind of ladies are these? In every garden where there is an Adam, there must be an Eve and a snake. I will never eat their apple, no matter how hard they try. Let me go check on my car at the mechanic."

Later, Efi arrived home and told her father, "Daddy, I need a car-one of the latest models. I'm tired of using public transport. It's embarrassing."

Her father asked, "What happened? Why this sudden request? Is something wrong?"

"No, sir," Efi replied. "But you know how most guys are these days. If a lady doesn't meet their expectations, they won't even consider her for a relationship. I need a car so I can look attractive and appealing. I'm no longer a child-I'm a lady, almost ready for marriage."

Her father laughed. "You're so funny, my daughter."

"It's not a joke, sir. I need to look presentable to any man that wants to marry me."

"Okay, I'll get you one."

Efi thought to herself, My dad doesn't even know my real plan. Marriage? I'm not ready. I just want Maxwell to notice me. I can tell he's an untouched fruit-and I want to be the one to taste it.

Days later, Efi drove to work in a brand-new Lexus Jeep. She celebrated with coworkers during lunch, which caught Maxwell's attention. After lunch, she went to Maxwell's office with a seductive smile.

"Good afternoon, sir."

"Afternoon," he replied.

"Can I have your private number?" she asked.

"I don't think that's necessary," Maxwell responded.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Maxwell asked.

"It's me," Deborah replied quickly.

"Okay, come in."

As the door opened, Efi was walking out and crossed paths with Deborah. They exchanged cold looks. Deborah walked in.

"How may I help you?" Maxwell asked.

"Maxwell, it's me-Debby. The lady you were in the car with the other day."

"Okay. What can I do for you?"

"Whatever you think is right, sir."

"How do you mean?"

"I just want to share some sweet words with you," Deborah said.

Maxwell smiled. "Sweet words?"
