They were already about two hours into the meeting, but Nick wasn't paying attention. He was glaring at David while everyone else was talking about pushing both companies to the next level. " ...And the profit shall also be shared equally," David said. " I believe that we are going to put in equal effort to achieve this."" Oh my God, I can't bear to listen to this anymore." Nick laughed in anger. " Why is he speaking like this? Like he owns the company or something?"" Mister Dominic has appointed him and me to speak on behalf of his son," Rosie said. " I believe that you don't have a problem with that."Nick slapped his hand against the table before he sat upright. " Look, lady, there is a hierarchy in this world." He said to her, " Why do you think that God created it that way?"Rosie only stared back. " People like me are not supposed to be mixed up with fellows like him." He pointed at David. " It's against the natural order of everything."" Mister Nick..."" Listen to me,
A party was put together by the end of the day. Rosie thought it was a good idea because it would help the staff to get to know themselves very quickly, and also to celebrate their first business deal. They moved to a small, but expensive restaurant and it was rented out to them, courtesy of the company. David didn't realize that so many people worked for him, not until he looked around the restaurant and realized that there were hundreds of people in there. They were all busy eating and laughing, that was before Rosie, the boss stood up with her glass of champagne. " Can I get your attention, please?" She requested. It wasn't very hard or get it, she was beautiful and alluring enough to get it without asking. " I want to thank all of you for trusting this company enough to work with us." She started. " I know that we have just begun, but I assure you that you will all be glad to work with us. To us!"" To us!"Everyone cheered around and the merriment continued. David looked l
"Excuse me?" David was visibly offended. " Where is this coming from?"" I don't know, maybe you will be able to tell your father." She said. " Perhaps you will have a good enough explanation for him about why you are now sleeping with your receptionist."David was confused and annoyed at the same time. " So this is what is going on!" David laughed. " He can't speak to his own son, but he keeps tabs on me!""Oh, don't be ridiculous, David." She groaned, annoyed. " He has done more for you than some fathers have done for their children, and you have been very disrespectful of that."" Since when did who I have sex with become your business?!" He snapped at her." What, you expect me to sit back and watch you destroy your life?"She crinkled her eyes. "I would prefer it if you mind your business." He said to her. " Watch yourself."She didn't even blink, this was the first time they were disagreeing so huge. It's ironic what this had become. She was someone that he respected so much,
David felt a heaviness in the back of his throat, Rosie didn't even say a word to him as she walked away. David wanted to go after her, he wanted to grab her by her hand and yell into her face, till he got all the truth out of her. " David." Stefanie touched his arm. He looked at her, with a blank stare. " Jesus, you look so white." She chuckled. " Did you see a ghost or something?"Worse than a ghost, that would be what he would use to describe it. " Hey, I got to go." He started to head to the entrance door. " Don't you need permission for that?" She yelled. " You are going to get into trouble."He only waved above his head, he didn't stop. He pushed the door open and immediately felt the breeze against his face. He crossed the road very quickly to get to the other side, Dominic Ford's main building. The security guard gave him a weird look and tried to stop him, but David angrily shoved the guy away. He got in and started to walk to the elevator. Because of his angry entra
This was the time that David saw the need to dig into the life of his supposed father. He spent the entire night scrolling through the internet, trying to find anything sketchy about his father. Rosie was right, his father was almost assassinated many times before. There was no mention of what happened to the assassins when they were caught and that raised another worry for him. Maybe he would have been tempted to call him if he still had the phone number. It wasn't like he was hungry for a father figure, but it was annoying that the most wealthy man in the city would stand up to claim to be his father, yet he didn't show up. He sat at his computer till his fingers ached and his eyelids felt like there were bags of cement on them. He was so exhausted that he fell asleep on the table there. He was woken up the next morning by a bang on his door. He jerked awake and walked to the door. It was Dre and Ethan, they were very excited. " We have been offered jobs!" Dre yelled. " Ju
David wasn't very keen about returning to the building, there he knew that his worst enemy awaited him. Nevertheless, he dragged his feet till he got there. Nick was almost nowhere to be found, but then he walked into his office and found the twat making himself comfortable. David cringed when he saw the feet on his table as the self-acclaimed prince drank his morning coffee. " Good morning, Nick." David ignored the uncomfortable tightening in his chest. " Fine morning, isn't it?" Nick glanced at him. " That's why you have chosen not to get me my coffee?"" I was busy," David said. " You remember that I do have a job, right?"" Your job is to make sure that I am satisfied." Nick glared at him. " I couldn't set my eyes on you from the instant I walked in here and I don't like that."David took a sharp breath in, an attempt to keep his temper in check. He would have so dearly loved to murder Nick right here, right now, but that might be a big mess for his father to handle. Since
For a minute, everyone was quietly looking at David in shock. The hot liquid was now cold and had given his white shirt a brown color. His hands were hanging in the air as he looked at the mess that was done to him. "Oops." Nick rubbed his hands together as if he had done a good job. " Sorry, man, didn't see you there."He said that knowing that everyone saw what happened, everyone knew that he did that with all intention. " Mister Evergreen," Devan said. " Don't worry, he is fine." Nick laughed as he waved it off. " David can wait in the car while real men talk."His eyes settled on Juliet, she wasn't pleased with his statement. " Men and women." He corrected himself. " But you guys know what I mean, right?"David glared at him, but he couldn't do anything to him. Juliet took pity on him, she sighed and walked up to him. " Come with me, Mister David." She offered. " I will help you clean up."David didn't have any other choice than to go with her. He didn't miss the smirk of
David was fuming on the inside of him, but because of the contract, he didn't want to go against Nick. He even made him drive to the venue of the party and open the door for him. It was so embarrassing and some people were even taking pictures. Nick, being the evil person that he was, smiled for the camera and posed. " Can you see?" He asked David. " Everyone knows that you are my bitch now."David rubbed his nose, he was doing anything to bottle up his anger. He sighted Dre and Ethan by the door and they pointed at him. " Look, I have to go and meet with my friends," David said. Nick snatched the key to the car out of his hands before he left. David ran his hand through his hair as he walked up to his friends. " What's up, guys?" He smiled at them. " Jesus, David, you look like you have seen death?" Dre commented. " Why do you look so exhausted?"" That's because I am." David sighed. " But that's going to be discussed when we get home."" I thought I was never going to ask
