Chapter 2

Nathan's pov

    I should have been at the hostel an hour ago, I was caught up in fucking traffic. A car is in front of me and another is behind me, I had my bodyguards follow me today.

   

     I got to Los Angeles on Monday to see how my managers are running the business. I had gone to check my Tech company this morning and it's failing. I thought they would have introduced our new advanced technology to the world by now but they haven't. My tech company sales and finance manager has been living off the company's fund.

  

     I was grateful George my PA had called to tell me about What was happening in my Tech company.  He should have told me this earlier, it started two weeks ago.

   

     I have been overseeing other businesses my family owned in other countries but I needed to be here to make things right.

  

    I didn't waste much time in firing my Tech company manager and two others.

  

    I told my driver to take me to my hotel, I need to see how things are there. Noah had done a great job at the hotel, he maintained it so well.

 

     The car stopped and I adjusted my tie. Stepping out of my SUV and my bodyguards standing behind me.

   

    “Have a nice day sir” Daniel my driver said smiling, I nodded not looking at him.

  

    "Y'all can wait in the car or look for something else to do," I said as I  made my way toward the hotel.

  

    "Yes Sir" My bodyguards chorused.

     I can see George's reflection through the glass door, he's following me. What now? He has given me enough bad news. Well, I can't complain cos he's doing his job and he's good at it.

   

     Two valets bowed at me in respect opening the glass doors for me and I nodded at them.

 

     The hotel is crowded with people and staff doing their duties.

   

     Three women pass by me, giving me seductive looks.

  

     "He's so cute" The blonde one whispered biting her lips. I spot the ring on her finger, she's married.

 

     "I could eat him up," the red-haired said and they giggled walking out of the hotel.

      I am not surprised, I get attention from women a lot. Some women are confident enough to approach me.

     "Sir, I have a few who have applied for the offices of those you fired this morning. Should I set an interview so you can meet them?" George asked walking beside me and trying to jot things down in his journal.

     "Yeah, do just that. I want to meet them personally" I said not looking at him.

     "Sir, What about the post of a new manager?" He asked curiously since I haven't said anything about it.

     "I have called my manager in China, he will be working here. I have promoted his assistant so he can replace him over there" I said and stopped walking.

     "I believe he will do a great job here as he has done in our branch in China," He said smiling.

    "Stop being a Journalist George, go fix a meeting with the Woodwofs," I said walking away not waiting for his reply.

      This is the hotel my mum and I established 5 years ago. She has left all the work for me, focusing more on her boutique in Miami.

      Being the CEO of many businesses that my family owned can be very frustrating, I barely have enough time for myself.

     I see the receptionist that I still can't recall her name applying more lipstick to her already red lips and seating upright with her breast almost falling out of her red blouse. Why all this red? Is she Santa's daughter? I thought.

     "Good afternoon Mr. White" She smiled exposing her White teeth at least it's not red I thought ignoring her, She's trying too hard, I'll have to fire her soon.

     "Mr. White" I heard a deep voice behind me. I turned, it was Noah walking toward me and bowing slightly. He looks tired with bags under his eyes.

    "Noah," I said nodding at him.

    I haven't seen him since a month ago when I came to Los Angeles for a meeting.

     "Any problem?" I asked him. I need to know if he needs anything or if there's a complaint.

     "No sir. I saw George now and he said you were here," he said adjusting his tie.

    "Okay, you are doing a great job here. I will appreciate you bringing ideas on how to make this hotel the top on this continent" I said tapping his shoulders.

     "I will, Thank you, Mr. White," Noah said smiling. He's probably happy about my compliment, He looks like he hasn't slept for a few days, I hope it's because he's taking his work seriously.

    I turned and walked into the elevator, I was the only one inside. My phone started ringing loudly.

     "Hey buddy" Micheal shouted from the other line and I instantly rolled my eyes bringing the phone away from my ear for a moment trying to save my eardrum.

     "Has Leah arrived?" I asked him ignoring his greeting. He was supposed to pick up my eighteen-year-old cousin from the airport.

      She's the female version of me with the same sandy blonde hair and blue eyes that run in the family just like my mum and her younger sister who is Leah's mother.

      Her birthday is in a few days, she wants to spend some time with me here in Los Angeles.

      "Is she coming today?" Micheal asked. I can't believe him right now. I told him last week, he was supposed to pick her up from the airport. I have been busy for months now and don't even have time for myself.

     "Dumb ass, you were supposed to pick her up when she arrives, I was at a meeting". He forgets everything except his meals.

     "Don't blame me" He said. "You can always ask your driver to pick her up". He replied with irritation clear in his voice.

     "Did you also buy her birthday gift like you said you were going to?" He added thinking he got me.

     "Yeah... You idiot, Go and get her, I don't want her grumbling all day" I said running a hand through my hair.

     "Moreover, why should I ask my driver to do it when I can stress you," I said standing in front of the elevator and looking down at my expensive shoes.

     "Fine, I'll go get her," He replied.

     “I will be going to the club this night,” He said changing the topic.

     "I will be going to the mansion today, My mum has been nagging about not seeing me for a month and I am scared she will appear any moment," I said putting my free hand in my pocket.

     "Mama's boy" He replied laughing out loud and I scoffed.

      "You'll be missing a lot," He said and I knew he was smirking. He would be busy all night pleasuring or getting pleasured.

     "Whatever," I said not interested in getting laid tonight. A lady holding a baby passed by me and went into the elevator.

     I changed the topic and we started talking business.

     "Bye," I said hanging up and putting my phone back in my pocket.

      I walked towards the suite that has been reserved for me, the perks of being the boss.
