ETHAN'S POV
”What?” I screamed, as soon as I read through the documents right in front of me. What I do not understand was why and how it got to this level. Without hasting, I reached out to the office telephone on my desk and called on to my secretary, “Get into my office right now!” I ordered with anger boiling inside of me.
If I were to be in an anime world, i would have flames evaporating out of my head, ears and nostril. Jezzz... It was really too much to swallow.
“Okay si...” I hanged up before she could complete her response.
What will mum do if she gets to notice this? Oh, no! This is not good! She won't take this at all.
Everly, my secretary stormed into my office and faced down. She stood just at the middle of my office. In a way, it seems she knows already why i called her in.
“Sir, you called me!” she mentioned without daring to rise her head up. Her lips are half way buried in her back scarf, that she tied around her neck. Maybe she knew, where she wronged me. She looks scared.
“What is this nonsense, Everly? Can you give me a better explain to this before I ruin you?” I barked before flinging the file at her and it all landed on the floor. The documents in the file slipped out and scattered a bit near her. She almost jumped when the file hit hard on the floor.
I sent her a dead stare when our eyes got in contact. And hurriedly she picked them up and began to review one after the other.
“Sorry sir! I meant, Mr. Ethan, no, i'm sorry, Mr. Logan have still not paid the loan you borrowed him.” Everly stammered between words and it got me irritated the more.
“Everly, you better talk properly! Tell me why the loan increased.” I shouted at her and she nodded like a lizard.
She then took a deep breathe and turned her stare back at me, “Act.... Ahem!” She cleared her throat before continuing, “Actually, of recent, he came for another loan and swore that you knew about it. He also called you right in front of me so, I gave him a cheque. I swear, I didn't know it... ” I interrupted.
Damn that man! I asked him to meet my secretary for a loan and he took that as his business to run me down. If not because he is a friend to my late dad, I would never have taken such uncivilized act from him. He should be jailed for fraud. The money in total can be used to buy a city.
“And you let him have it without my confirmation? How dare you? You are such a dummy! An empty brainless idiot.” I yelled so loud that out of fear, she let the file fall off and I stared at her with more rage.
What kind of being is this and how did I let her become my secretary?
Damn it!
“Sir, I thought...” I interrupted again. Getting irritated the more i stare at her.
“You thought what? You know what? Get lost from here before I make you play the loans.” I uttered angrily while trying so hard to suppress my annoyance.
Everly wanted to say something but her mouth got glued the moment I turned to look at her.
Being he quickly, dashed out of the office like a scared baby whose ice cream was dragged from. Yeah, she lost her job, so she should bit that and get the hell out of my company. I do not let fools work for me.
The problem I had was how to explain the current situation to mum. Damn it!
Elisa opened the door a little and let her head alone be visible. She dyed her hair green now! She looked awful but I dared not to say a word else, I would get a cry baby.“It won't be so bad if you knock first!” I said as calm as my voice could.
“Hey bro!” Elisa walked right into the office, smiling at what I just said.
What does she want this time?
“What?” I responded with a question.
She raised her brows and shook her head, “Wow bro, cool down! I saw Everly in tears walking out of your office and with your response right now, I need no proof to show you are the cause of that.” Elisa stated and I rolled my eyes.
Like seriously?
“Alex, tell me, was that the reason you barged into my office?” I asked.
Her attitude is so unbearable. If not for the fact she is my sister, I would not haste to send her out, immediately. I have alot to do and need no distractions.
“Hey, better cool it bro. Do not lash out your anger on me. I am not your enemy here!” Elisa replied, still not making any sense at all.
Oh lord, why?
“Are you going to be realistic and tell me the reason you are here or you do walk out the door. For heaven's sake, Elisa, I really do not need your distraction, right now!” I uttered with a serious stare. I tries to now over the fact she was present and focus on what I do best, work!
She rolled her eyes, sighed and walked down to my desk, with her heels making her presence known, as it created annoying sounds that disgust me alot.
She sat on the seat opposite my direction and crossed her legs.
What the fuck, Elisa?
“What do you want?” I did not bother to look at her; she was a distraction.
“I need $50,000!” She requested and I looked up at her.
I had expected it! She only comes here to request for money when she gets broke. All she knows how to do is go shopping and spend on chunk foods.
“Is that all?” I asked, like she had anything else to say or offer.
She separated her crossed legs and placed her hand on my table. Even after knowing how much i hate it.
“Emmm, yeah, there is something else!” I diverted my stare again at her. That's new, I thought to myself and dropped the pen I held, so as to pay total attention to what she had to say. Her face looked serious! She cleared her throat, “Ahem! Well, it is about Levi! He was arrested this morning. He was seen driving while smashed and some drugs were found in his car as well.” Elisa confessed and I frowned.
I really do not believe that boy! All he does in school is follow bad boys and get into trouble. My siblings are really a pain in the ass and are spoilt braits, mum is to be blamed in a way. She treated them like babies and provided everything they requested.
“Okay! I will transfer the required money needed to sort everything in your account. While leaving, meet up with the accountant and ask him to do the needful.” I uttered and faced back at my work.
She stood up almost immediately and ran to me; she hugged me so tight from behind and kissed my right cheeks.
“Thank you so much bro! That is why you remain my favorite, though you are quite annoying to hang around with.” Elisa stated before she picked up her fancy diamond purse she left on my desk and hurried out of the office.
“Females! All they know how to do is request for money.” I muttered and picked up the telephone, “Hello, Parker, ensure you see to Elisa's needs.” I dropped the call and dialed another, “Mr. Joel, see that Miss Everly leaves the company as soon as possible. Print out what is needed and get me a new secretary in the next 24 hours.” I ended the call, and dialed another again, “Noami, I want you to call on Mr. Logan Anthony and instruct him to meet me at my hotel by 8pm, tonight! Have i make it clear enough?” I asked.
“Yes sir!” Noami, my assistant secretary replies and I hanged up.
Mr. Logan should never dare to mess with me in terms of the company. How dare he owe the company so much and has no remorse. He was the worst kind of man, who was born being cunny.
ETHAN'S POVMr. Logan has been the company partner for years and due to his strong relationship with my late Dad, made us trust him, though mum never liked his attitude and complained she feared Mr. Logan to be a fraud.I did not want us hold the meeting at the other hotels because they belonged to mum and information might get to her ears and for sure, she would like to know the reason for the meeting. In my hotel, I am the only one incharge.“Yes mum! I know that and I will go home as soon as I can.” I replied mum.Literally, the only woman in my life who has the right to question me is my mother.“Okay!” She said, and hanged up.“Sir, we have arrived!” Kole, my driver said.“I am not blind master! I know that already!” Kole stepped out of the car and walked over to open the door for me.I arranged my suit and stepped out of my car. I matched towards the entrance of the hotel; all eyes set on me and my staffs greeted as I walked pass them. I can not waste my time accepting greetings
KAYLEE'S POVI really do not understand dad's mood this evening. He seem so quiet and uninvolved. It looks as though he has so much on his mind. I have never seen him in such mood before. He has been smoking up some cigarettes too. Yeah, sure, he smokes but this night, it seemed alarming. He did not even notice my presence! Is there anything wrong with him? II walked up to him and sat by his side. Well, I am the last born so, I am so much free with my parents. Infact, I am nicknamed, 'Pet!' and definitely, looking at his mood, he is not fine. “Hey handsome, what is your problem? You look depressed, hope you are okay?” I asked as I tapped his shoulders. He suddenly looked at my direction with his eyes all popped and red. He looked scary tho! “Mr. Ethan wants you!” I heard dad uttered before he looked away. Huh! What? And who is Mr. Ethan? Did I hear him clear? “I do not understand dad. What do you mean by Mr. Ethan wants me? Wants me how? Explain a little bit more because, I am n
KAYLEE'S POVBruh... Bruh... Who will not let me sleep in peace? I picked up my phone and looked at the caller, 'Big Sis!' I knew she would call. She never fails to her promises and never makes promises she can not fulfill. “Hello Kaylee! How are you?” She said before I could utter a word. “To be honest, I am not happy! I wish you were here!” I replied honestly. “Hey, what is the problem? Are you ill? Is mum and dad okay?” she burst out questions. I can sense she is worried. “Not really what you think, We are okay! Something quite unthoughful just came up.” I need to tell her now or just hold my peace but how can I hold my peace when, i'm been dragged to marry or stick with someone I barely know. “Is not like I have any where to go. Tell me about it!” Andrey requested. “Dad said he owe Mr. Ethan some money and the man is asking for me as a replacement.” I stood from the bed and head to my sofa. “What?” Audrey yelled at the background and it was deafening. “Yeah!” I responde
ANDREY'S POV“Be good! I have to be busy now so I can make it to come back, tomorrow. I will take the night flight!” I said. “Okay then! Bye for now!” She replied excitedly and i hanged up.I really do not understand what's going on over there! Why on earth will dad say such things?Sigh! “I hope I can cope with all this stucked up in my head. Work, family, oh damn, this is just too much! I pray they accept my permission. I feel like my head is going to blow.” I took my laptop and placed it on my bed. Well, my documents are scattered on my bed and I don't know what time I will be done with all this and only the thought of it, provoked me. I have a work to keep and a family matter to check on, isn't that too much already?* * *I got out of bed feeling so exhausted. You could only imagine the stress i underwent last night. All the documents were still scattered on the bed and my laptop fell off my lap last night due to the fact I was weak to keep it aside. Damn, I slept off while ty
ANDREY POVAs soon as I got to the company building, I saw Dean outside. I guess he was waiting for me since i told him i was near the company. For how long have he being standing?“Hey!” He called out as i approached the transparent glass door.“Hi!” He grabbed my hand and gently pulled me closer and kissed my lips, then he looked into my eyes.“Why?” He asked and I rolled my eyes. If not because of i love him. I swear, i would have stepped on his feet and walked away.“I am sorry, okay? But you did not ask why I did it.” I stood like a galant soldier at his front and focused my gaze at his furrowed brows. He looked handsome even when been pissed.“Then what is it, Miss Andrey?” He asked and the moment i heard him mention my name, I got furious and i knew he was serious, so i avoided eyes contact. We were both angry at each other. Anytime he mentions my name, it was a sign of a bit of anger in him.He called my name! This dude have got to be knocked on the head, I swear.“I... I... I
ETHAN'S POVBruh… Bruh…The phone kept ringing out loud, and I regretted not putting it on silence before I retired to bed. But why was I expecting, rest? I am a busy man and no one cares whether I get some rest or not.I sighed and stood up from my bed.“Hello!” I was in a haste and did not check the caller identity, but as soon as I heard the voice; I became totally aware of my environment and cleared my throat.“I heard you came back late last night. How did your meeting go with Mr. Logan?” I crunched against my teeth as sighed in my mind and furrowed my brows. She must not know about the money.“Okay. It was okay! Was that the real reason you called?” I asked as I felt a little annoyed as to how she monitors my every movement. Especially about business. She wants the company to beat Peterson family company. They are the richest and own more resources than ours.“No. The George family invited us for a party and I want you to come along. I intend introducing you to their daughters a
I just finished summiting, all that was required of me. Yeah, I increased my speed and endeavored to meet time. I await their response in my office and rested my head. Almost called in by sleep, I heard a hard knock on the door and I answered hasty.“Come in!” I'm still resting my head on my desk.“Are you okay?” The muscling voice sounded worried as it approached. It was very familiar and I looked up.“Yes!” I looked away almost immediately.“Okay. Had lunch yet?” “I don't want to.”“Why?” I furrowed my brows.“I am not hungry.” I replied harsh, but I don't care. He should leave me alone. I am still mad at him.“Have you had anything since morning?” Like I lightening, it struck in my head and I looked up at him. I totally forgot to eat, and I have been waiting for Kitty, so we could have lunch together,, but she was yet to come in. The manly figure that stood in front of me, was handsome and his hands were behind his back. He raised his right brow, and I quickly remembered I was ye
ANDREY'S POV“Don't get choked again!” He mocked and winked at me.Ahhhhhh…I dropped the void plate and relaxed back on my seat. Pretending like nothing happened. The food tasted great, and I wished he got some more.“You said, you want to go home. Why is that?”I sighed and looked up at him. I can't believe he was bringing it back. Are we just going to argue again? “Kaylee called about some things. The call was breaking, and I couldn't get the main message. I tried calling home, but I barely get a response.” I lied, and he believed because, he looked so much like he was lost in thoughts.“Can't I come along?” I shook my head, refusing his request. I really don't want him to get involved in my family issues. I wasn't even sure, if Kaylee was telling the truth. It could be a lie. My parents would love to see him, but not in such a moment.“Why?” He furrowed his brows and focused his stare on me. Like he could read through my mind, and I'm certain that wasn't possible.“I am yet to kn
MIRABEL'S POVI sometimes wonder what makes Andrey so special to him. No matter how hard I try to gain his attention, he doesn’t care, doesn’t look at me the way he looks at her, or even notice all my green lights. And each day, it seems like my affection for him grow deeper. Yet, he only sees me as just another normal woman he can't keep as his. My love for Dean has made me want to be in that winch's shoes. Well, having a handsome, wealthy boyfriend is every girl’s dream, and Andrey is the only one standing in my way of achieving this goal. If she doesn’t disappear, I’ll help her.Anything for my love...... DeanCall it obsession or whatever, I don’t care! He must be mine!“Why?” I heard Dean asking, his voice filled with curiosity.Why should he even ask her that to begin with? Isn’t it better that Andrey won’t be around? Of course, it’s a golden opportunity for me to make my move on him...... My baby love. Awwwwnnnnn.“I don’t know for sure if it’s a prank to make me come back,” A
