Against the Odds

Chapter Ten

^Bob Morley as Bellamy Blake

Even though Lexa agreed with everything, she still wasn't 100% in it. She was still feeling hurt from the two lying to her. Instead of thinking of it, she decided to go back to work. She had taken off a couple of days to process everything and meet Tia.

When she arrived at the office, she noticed something was out of the ordinary. Titus was in her office. He was never in her office.

"Titus, what do you need." Lexa asked harshly.

"Heda, we need to speak about Roan. He could be important to this business." Titus nodded towards her.

"Titus, the last thing I need is for you to be riding up me about who should be working here. You don't understand what I've been doing the couple of days. I allowed you back after you shot me." Lexa said coldly, "Not to mention after you almost tried to kill Clarke. I let you back. You should be thanking me."

"I am, Heda. I'm glad you let me back. But I ask you to consider Roan." Titus was using a soft tone voice.

"I will on my own behalf. I will decide whether Roan deserves to return or not. Did you not hear when he tried to take my position? The company I built from nothing?" Lexa was pissed.

"I did. I'm just saying--" Titus began.

"You were just saying that you were going to let me think." Lexa interrupted.

Titus bowed and left the room. Lexa was beyond mad. She couldn't think calmly. She had to work. She had to do something. So she decided she was going to go around the office and see how everyone's doing. She first went to meet with her secretary. She wanted to talk about hiring Clarke into the business.

"Charlie? Can you see if we can hire someone?" Lexa walked out of her office.

"Of course ma'm," Charlie looked down at his computer, "Yes, we do have an opening. We need another secretary."

Lexa looked down at her other three secretaries.

"Close that position. I may know somebody." Lexa directed him.

"Of course. It's now closed." Charlie looked up.

"Thanks, Charlie. Nice work." And with that Lexa left.

She decided to go check out the building. Somewhere she had never been to. She looked at the map and just started in a direction. Whenever she walked past someone, they'd bow and say, "Welcome Heda." Struck by this weird behavior, she stopped to ask.

"Why does everyone keep bowing at me?" She asked some random worker.

"Um...well Titus ordered us to bow every time we see you." The worker trembled.

"Oh, thank you." The worker bowed.

Lexa left to wander around, until she got lost.
