Chapter 5

Cesar was in business trip with the Rodriguez family, they've wanted to join their clan with his to boost the clothing trade company.

"My son is still 5 years old so when he hits 20, I wanted him to marry your offspring if you're going to produce a daughter" The lady Venice said.

"I don't know if that will happen, but I'll surely do my best" I calmly stated, for I'm a bachelor and I know that Rodriguez are powerful tech company, but I won't need their help in the long run. I don't believe in arrange marriage.

My clothing line of Pullovers are across the country such Mexico and Russia, I gain estimated trillions of profit, so I established extensions to spread or advertise our product and give employments to people, when it comes to our services, we are open 24/7 for our customer service.

Two weeks from now, I got home to see Skyles, and she is dedicated with her job, but still the same attitude, I notice how she became polite with me. "I clean the mess here in the bathroom because it has lots of cigarettes" she uttered. I studied her face and caress it.

"Good girl, I'm so tired right now, I heard that you're doing well in your work, they've acknowledged how you excel in your field.

"We'll be going to give you certificate and salary increase" I stated it with genuine tone and I can see her smile through it.

"Thank you" Skyles voice tone was cold, yet you can see the hidden sweetness in disguise.

"Where's the chick?" I asked. Cesar was stiff in his seat and there's a running thought in his mind.

"Stop that, let's have one on one drink" he smirked.

"No, you're a pervert" I defended.

"That's not true hmm" he chuckled when he saw my reaction, he pours the wine in the glass chaser, it was a grape flavor, suddenly we talk about life and such ambitions.

"Do you plan to study?" Cesar asked.

"Yes, I want multimedia" she replied.

"I'll offer you a scholarship as well for one condition" he taps his fingers on the table.

Give me a child after your graduation and marry me" he just grabbed my hand and took it in his face, he is kissing it, but I'm going to dismiss these emotions.

"NO!" I said it clearly.

"No one can say what I want to do" I stood up and just go the other room to rest after that because I'm too tired in dealing with these major decisions.

"You can think about it Skyles, I'll give you more time" Cesar was patient enough to wait for the right answer. NO is not an answer.

"I love Katha" I shouted.

The design was in tune color of purple with a logo of CG Clothing, with a linear motto. They've praised her so much for her creativity.

"EL ELEGANT E" was the brand name of some pullovers.

"I refused to, I will search for another name" I suggested to my colleague.

There's some familiar face in the cabin room and we're both surprised to see each other again.

"Oh, there you are, .awesome!" a man said. "You are Gazer?" I covered my mouth, then I handed him his ID that he dropped somewhere.

"Thank you so much, I'm finding this for many days, and seriously I can't sleep" he laughed a bit.

"Did you took lunch?" he asked.

"Not yet just busy with my work, and It's really hard to improvised or rather say make it original" I stated then he looks at me with happy eyes.

"I'll treat you a lunch since you help me" I agreed with his offer, and he is very talkative.

Once we go back to our offices around 1pm, everyone was attentive to the latest policy made by the CEO.

"Avoid flirtiness and relationships with co-employees" I head murmurings and people were disappointed because it will trigger hidden affairs.

I want to know why this policy became official. I just became silent the whole time so that no one can expose me that I flirt, because my purpose is to be productive, but I'm thinking that Cesar might saw us during lunch, or maybe it is just an illusion.

"Such immaturity" I whispered in the air and close my laptop.

Flashback plays in my mind when I was a kid, that day incident happened due to the fact that I hit someone in the head, the family of the victim accused me of murder, they belong to a prominent one, I was bothered about the mistake I made a long time ago.

Going home safe is such an overrated blessing, so I just get my guitar and play some songs with matching coffee beside me, it makes me sleep and ease my anxiety.

Many girls adding me on social media, saying that I have dual face, it can be a boy or girl. I saw my fans in bandlab giving me grunge vibes, they want me to go with them in their favorite concerts tomorrow.

"Skyles, we'll treat you a ticket" they've posted it and put my name in a calligraphy manner. It is heartwarming to see that people loves you, even my father died early. I miss him.

I saw some strange man staring at me, and It was Cesar. I know that he got home already, but I don't have time to speak. 

"Skyles, I bought some donuts" he placed the paper bag beside my lamp. 

"Thanks" and I saw the flavors, it is mouthwatering.

"How did you know my favorites?" I said. 

"There's nothing I cannot do for you" he then walks out of the room, I can see the good side of him but still I hated him for unexplainable reason. 

"By the way, thanks a lot" I uttered in nowhere and gave him a smile that will replenish his worries, he returned the smile and we sleep at the same time separated with two rooms.
