CHAPTER SIX

ETHAN’S POV

We arrive at the front of my company’s building ,Harris parks the car and the bodyguard outside opens the car door for me ,I hurriedly walk in,my workers who are on floor greet me and I just answer them with a nod.

Normally each time I come to work,I take the stairs instead of the elevator so that I can see what’s happening around my company before heading to my office.

But today I am having a meeting with new investors and I am damn late so I take the elevator,I see some of workers who want to use the elevator too,but once they see me coming they give way for me to go and no one dares to come in as I walk into the elevator till the door closes .

The door to the elevators closes and I click the button number five,it starts to move and stops on the fifth floor of our company where the conference room is located.

The elevator door opens,I walk out and head to the conference room.I see my assistant standing at the door of the conference room waiting for me.

“Good morning Boss,the investors have been here for an hour,shall we?”He asks as he opens the door for me to walk in.

I just nod my head and walk to the head of the table,I pull back my chair and sit down.”Good morning ladies and gentlemen,I am sorry that I am late,I hope you forgive me”.I say with a smile,and put on my normal serious and cold Face,but I prefer to call it my business face,I laugh in my mind.

I can see all six of them seated three men and three lady who are looking at me lustfully.They Three ladies all are putting on knee length ,low cut tight dresses that shows off way too much of their cleavage.I frown and don’t pay them any attention and face the men who are more serious.

The man amongst them that looks like the eldest speaks up”Mr Belford we have read the terms and conditions of the contract and find it very reasonable and profitable,so we have reached a decision to invest in your company and also your five star hotels “he said clasping his both palms together.

“Thank you Sir,here are the documents that require your signature in order for the deal to be signed “I say and Brad collects the documents from me and gives it to him.

He signs it and gives it to me ,I stand and we shake hands as I say to me”Thank you for investing in the company,we promise you won’t regret it”I smile and he shakes my hand and nods in agreement.

They all walk out of the conference room except one the ladies that came with them,she’s red haired ,busty and a flat ass,short,has blemishes and acne’s,she’s so not my type I’d prefer being gay than be with someone like her,I scuff.

“How May I help you miss”I frown and put on a cold look ,glaring at her.

“I was hoping you could join me for lunch today “She says, batting her eyelashes and adjusting her boobs trying to look cute.What a shameless act,I think to myself.

“This is not professional,I’d advise you never to approach me and say stuff like this or else I will embarrass you”I say,not blinking my eyes and giving her an intimidating look.

“And next time you are coming for a business meeting please try to dress more Formal and look less of a whore”I say annoyed.

She bends her head in shame and suddenly goes speechless,her face is red with embarrassment.

I give an evil smirk and walk out with Brad,leaving her standing there in shame.

Brad and I walk into the elevator, he clicks the number six button and the elevator starts to go up.

The elevator opens and we walk out ,we walk into my office.I take a sit on my executive chair,yeah that’s what I like to call it.Brad sits on the chair,I ask him if he has tightened the security at our house,he said he has,but still looks like he wanted to ask a question.

“You can ask whatever question that you want to ask Brad”I say and give him a pointed look waiting for him to talk.

“Sir,it’s just that you ask all of a sudden that I tighten the security,may I know what is wrong that made you ask me to do it?”He asked, looking concerned and relaxing back on the chair.

I sigh,run my hands in my hair and say”A girl came to the house this morning asking for a job as a maid”,I say trying to make a point.

“Sir,what has that got to do with tightening security at the mansion?”He asks, confused.

I roll my eyes,face palm and reply him”Sometimes I wonder if you passed through the four walls of school,she doesn’t look like someone who works as a maid,you should have seen her,her skin is flawless as white as snow ,she’s such a cutie “I wanted to continue speaking before I realized that I began complimenting her looks ,fuck!!!.

Brad looks at me surprised with a smirk,I guess he is surprised that I am complimenting a woman because I haven’t done that since after my fiancée Sophia died,she’s the only woman I ever complimented her looks and loved.After she died during the car accident I lost the will to love.

At times I wanted to go to the hospital to check if I am still potent as a man and to check if I still have testicles.No woman had ever made me hard or horny after the death of Sophia.

Gossips started spreading around that I am gay,that’s preposterous!.But this Emily of a girl got me ogling at her and it makes me feel strange like I am betraying Sophia.

I compose myself and continue “Look, all I am saying is that she looks like a spy sent by our competitors,to spy on us other to get vital and confidential information about us.I want every information about her on my desk by tomorrow,her name is Emily Jones “I instructed him in a serious tone.

“Wow sir,this is the first time you have remembered a girl's name besides your grandma,sister and ex fiancée “he says as his smirk grows into a smile,I can see he is trying to tease me ,but he actually has a point.

“Has anyone ever told you you look ugly when you smirk and smile?”I give him a straight face,and he wipes the smile off his face and becomes serious when he sees that I am not joking.

“Oh,Ok boss,I will gather all the information I can get about her, sir”he says in a serious manner.

“Clear all my appointments for today,I am going home to rest,call Harris to get the car ready. I'll be leaving in two minutes “I say as I start arranging the files I was supposed to go through today separately from the ones I am done with.

“Ok Boss,copy that”he says and walks out of my office.I pick up my suit blazer and put it on as I exit my office and head for my car.

I walk out of my company building,a bodyguard opens the door of my car,I enter my car and tell Harris to drive me to the mansion.I left my laptop in my room at the mansion,I need to get it before going to my penthouse and I need to use it tonight since I didn’t do much at work today.

Harris drives into the Mansion and the door is opened by a guard as I alight from the car and walk into the house with the intention of going straight to my room getting my Laptop and leaving the house silently not wanting another sermon from Granny about marriage and living a good life.

Walking into the house the first person I see is Ava,she smiles at me”Look who we have here if it ain’t my beloved brother,it’s so unusual to have you in the family house unannounced shouldn’t you be in your penthouse”she says.

I roll my eyes at her”Ava please don’t start I don’t want Granny to know am here am not in the mood for any sermon right now ,I just came to take my laptop I need to check some business mails this night,don’t worry I will be gone before know it”I am about to continue talking when a girl walks in,I turn to see the face clearly but am shocked to see it’s Emily.

“What the fuck is she doing here!!!”I say confused and angry.I can remember telling her to get lost so what is she doing here with her belongings, she also looks like she was in a fight because she is trying to catch her breath.

I turn to Ava hoping for an explanation,she just shrugs her shoulders and replies”Emily is Granny’s personal maid,Granny has already employed her. She is to be living in the house and her room is opposite Granny’s room on our floor of the building “.

“Our floor!!”I am shocked and fuming in anger right now.

I turn and look at Emily standing by the doorway looking innocent but I will not fall for her cheap pretense,I will make her life and stay here a living hell.I won’t be able to chase her without a concrete evidence that she has ulterior motives for working here,because it seems like Granny likes her.

Now I just have to hope that the information Brad brings to me about her will be evidence enough to make me chase her out of this house or better still get her arrested.
