"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
The whole place was quiet, if a pin fell to the ground, it would have been heard. Dre and Ethan were shocked to their bones and it pained David to see them like that. They took steps to get closer to him and they ended up in the middle of the circle too. " What do you mean?" Dre squinted. " You told us, just minutes ago, that you got a new car. We were happy for you, MINUTES AGO!!"David looked at Nick and he gave him a nod. " I lied." David went even deeper. " I'm sorry that I had to embarrass you guys like that."" Lie?!" Ethan looked around in disbelief. " You never lie! David, you have never had any reason to lie to us!"" Maybe I wanted to belong," David said. " Maybe I never had experienced anything good in my life and I wickedly decided to claim the car to be mine."There were talks in the crowd, Dre and Ethan were utterly disgraced. Nick liked it, he didn't even hesitate to laugh at them. " Well, then, I have forgiven you, boys. " Nick said. " But I might not be mercif
Rosie was sipping her cup of coffee and working on her laptop when David barged into her office. She looked up and returned her eyes to her work, she didn't say anything else to him. " What do you want, young master?" She asked casually. " One, don't call me that again." He warned her. " Two, I didn't know that you could be so wicked."" Wicked?" She laughed as she shut her laptop. " What are you even talking about?"" I know that you had the entire power to stop Nick Evergreen from using me like a puppet, but you wouldn't." He said. " I really thought we were friends."She gave him a pitiful smile. " Devan CEO called me. He was gushing about you so much, he thinks you are so intelligent." She said, " Imagine what your father would say if he heard that."David stopped for a second, he felt good about the feedback she got about him. " Maybe I should get some sort of reward, huh?" He sat down. " How about you get Nick off my back?"" You came late today, you thought I wasn't going
