Chapter 4

“Mr Harris, why did you keep your identity in the dark from Miss Fletcher, sooner or later she will know about it right?” John asked curiously after having driven out of Fletcher’s company, he was looking at his boss who was now driving the car very skillfully, and was impressed with the way he sat on the driver’s seat very majestically and he looked intoxicatingly very sexy. John gulped his saliva and wondered if I being a man could feel the aura of this man so addictive how the women around him would feel. He had been working with him for the past five years and he had nothing but admiration and respect for this guy who was so strict and disciplined towards his work but was very good to his employees.

And when he decided to shift to Michigan and restart his grandfather’s business he had readily agreed to follow him to Michigan. But he was surprised when he hid his identity from Miss Fletcher and he noticed that Miss Fletcher had some grudge against his boss without even knowing him. What a foolish woman. And his boss even went personally to check the company as he was planning to buy it, which was way out of his character. Previously he was the one who would do all this type of petty jobs for him. He was the one who had approached her so that is why she had addressed his boss as Mr. Davis. 

“John, if I had not lied to her, I would never come to know about Miss Fletcher and the rest of the people’s opinion about my acquisition of all the businesses in Michigan. At least she gave me an insight.” Gale said with a smirk on his face.

“But it seems that Miss Fletcher has a very bad opinion about you, even though she wants to sell her company to you.” John insisted. “She doesn’t have the right to do that as she doesn’t even know about you.”

“It’s alright, it doesn’t matter, after all the business has been in their family for three generations she can’t get easily over it and think about selling it to a perfect stranger. I can understand her. As for buying her company. I have my say on that. Which she will come to know very soon?” They had reached halfway and suddenly Gale stopped the car and said. “Now you can get out of the car and go around and inquire about the Fletcher family and their company. I don’t want you to miss out on anything. After that, I will decide the fate of her company. You better be back after two hours as I need you to go with me to the mayor’s office.” He gave him a list of instructions and after he got out of the car he drove away.

John was standing on the sidewalk near the shopping and wondering why he gave me just two hours to investigate it boy he is mean sometimes. He shook his head helplessly and walked towards the community office.

 

Meanwhile, Gale was driving his car and thinking about his encounter with Darcy Fletcher. He had seen and dated many beautiful women but Darcy Fletcher had her charm. She was definitely very beautiful with dark Hazel eyes and a figure to die for. She had hidden quite well in the business attire she was wearing but nonetheless, it did not stop Gale from measuring her thoroughly.

He admitted that it was her name that intimated him to come and visit the company personally as her name itself added a different aura to her. And she was the daughter of her father’s childhood friend. He was just looking for an excuse to know more about her but now he was interested in her, as she gave him an entirely different vibe about her.

She looked so calm and composed yet she was so vulnerable that you felt like protecting her. And on top of that, she even claimed that she was not interested in his money. Well, this is the first time a woman has shown that she is not quite interested in his money. He wanted to know her more. And what captivated him the most was her simplicity and those juicy lips which were looking so temptingly kissable that he had to control himself from pulling her to himself and kissing her senseless. 

She was undoubtedly beautiful in her own way but beauty can be deceptive in many ways and his experience around women told him to be careful or he would lose his sanity after all this was only their first meeting.

And he smiled at the thought that lingered around his head that he was looking forward to their next meeting.

His family will be arriving during the weekend and thankfully the renovation of the old manor was complete and they could live there comfortably.

His father had retired himself personally and handed over the company to him as he wanted to return to his homeland Michigan and spent the rest of his old days here. His father was not very keen on his business and when Gale reached the age, for the acquisition of the company he handed it over to him.

His father Norman Harris fell in love with his mother Miranda Harris, when he went for a holiday to Ireland and decided to settle down there as his parents had died in a car accident when he turned eighteen and he had no one in Michigan. So he shifted to Ireland and started his clothing brand which had quite a name in Ireland but after Gale took over it became more famous worldwide. But Gale was not into clothing that much and had a passion for designing cars so he had started his own automobile company at the age of twenty-two and had won many prestigious awards worldwide. He had outlets all over the world. 

Gale was against the idea of shifting to the city which was dying because of the subprime collapse but his dad was adamant when Gale arrived in Michigan he did not know why he had felt a different connection to the city probably because of his ancestral roots and he had earned enough money to survive for the next ten generations and by that time he won’t even survive so he decided to help the economy of Michigan by taking over most of the shutdown company.
