Chapter 6

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS

Charles's POV ❤️

I couldn't stop thinking about the goddess I saw last week when I went for a meeting.

I was exhausted already by the time we were done and I wanted to go home straight up to rest my head before going through another brief and working again.

Being a billionaire isn't easy, especially when you try to prove a point that you're the best and constantly trying to stay at the top of the business game, no going down, just the top always.

When I opened the headquarter of my company in this shabby town, I had never rested. I wanted to help them. I wanted to help the town. Build malls, hospitals, houses and what have you. Even though it was part of business strategy as 70% of the revenue will go to straight to me and my company. I was tired already. I managed to convince most of the citizens and even the mayor but I had issues with one person and I didn't even know her. But rumors had it that someone was trying to sabotage everything that I worked hard for, and that was stressing me out, giving me sleepless nights. If only I could get through to them.

And then there was the issue with the protesters. This was all too overwhelming, they were adding to my work and giving me a headache.

This was not how I pictured it going.

I was supposed to come to this town, convince them that I meant no harm and only wanted to help their town grow, do the things I promised to do, get my own percentage of the money they make, grow my company, and continue to expand my company. I couldn't afford my company going down the drain, it has to be at the top, always, and I would do whatever it takes to keep it like that.

"Boss... Boss." My driver, Mr. Tusch pulled me out of my train of thoughts.

"What is it?"

He looked hesitant to talk, was I too harsh?

"Ehm..sir...ehm..." He stuttered.

"What is the problem, Mr Tusch?" I tried to say it as softly as possible.

I was really tired.

"I really need to pee."

Huh? That was it? I thought there was something wrong. He wanted to pee, was he embarrassed to say it?

"Is that all?"

He kept on fidgeting for no reason.

"Yes sir."

Why was he embarrassed? He was a grown man for fucks sake.

"Go."

His face lit up when I gave him permission, I still didn't see the reason why he did that. I am not a tyrant, even if I wanted to be definitely not to Mr. Tusch. He has served me for so many years and he had never betrayed me. He was actually one of the few people I trusted. Mr. Tusch could never betray me. Even if he did, well... better not start thinking about it.

He opened the door and left and I was all alone. I was feeling sleepy. I rested my head on the window and stared outside and that was when I saw her...

...the goddess.

Her blonde hair, and that smile... I would do anything to make her smile for me. I would do anything to be the one to make her smile. I suddenly had the urge to make her mine forever. She was very beautiful, she was an angel.

I was about coming out from my car when I saw a guy with her. It felt weird. Was I jealous? Who was that guy? Was he her boyfriend? Were they married?

Hold on Charles, what the fuck is wrong with you? You don't even know this lady. The thought of another man other than me making her laugh was vexing. My mother used to say that when you find the right person, I would know.

Was she the right person?

I went back inside the car immediately as I got out. I had so many questions. I even thought about going to her and introducing myself as a very sexy billionaire but my driver showed up. Mr. Tusch was already back from the restroom or wherever he went to to pee, I couldn't bother myself to care about it. Why did he have to come back now? I felt really disappointed. I haven't felt like this in a long time. Was it love? Or mere obsession? Whatever this feeling was I wanted to find out.

"Mr. Tusch, you see that lady over there, don't forget her face."

I took out my phone from my pocket and took her picture. I wasn't taking any chances, I couldn't afford to loose her. I was going to find her and make her mine.

"There. I already took a picture. Find out everything about her for me and who that pest is with her." I pointed at the guy with her, and was making her all fuzzy inside.

He nodded and drove off. I was so getting excited that my fatigue went away immediately.

I grinned.

Finally, something interesting to do in this boring town.

~~~~

I was interrupted from my train of thoughts when the chants of the protesters suddenly increased. What were my guards doing?

There was a knock on the door. Can everyone please stop interrupting my thoughts? The person knocked again, this better be good.

"Come in."

It was Mr.Tusch; my driver. This definitely has to be good.

"Sir! I found her."

I have never been happier in my life. Finally. I was so excited. I cleared my table and was about to follow him to take me to wherever my princess was.

"She is right here, sir."

Oh Mr Tusch! I could hug him right now. He even managed to bring her here? He was definitely getting a raise in his salary and a two-months leave, he and his family. Maybe somewhere nice, I was going to pay, everything at my expenses.

"Let's go then."

I was so excited until he said those words...

"She's right here sir. She's one of the protesters..."

He paused for a while, before dropping the bomb on me,

"She's the one who initiated it, she is their leader."

I looked at him to see any sign of a joke on his face but there wasn't.

He wasn't joking. How disappointing. Well, this just changes everything, doesn't it?

The girl I was in love with was against me. I didn't expect it to go really smooth but she totally despises me.

This totally changes everything.
