Back in his company, Archer sat in his office right after giving his board the summary of what happened. They were happy to hear the news that Archer succeeded despite the situation. Archer on the other hand didn’t feel so good. He still couldn’t get Lydia’s words out of his head, he left the bar feeling confused and cuddled with Madison. He was yet to tell her because he didn’t want to upset her but she also refused him to come along to tell the guy’s father. Archer thought it would be hard for her to and told her to text him if she needs anything.He had a meeting with some new investors on a new project and he was tasked with buttering them up since they refused to meet other people. He had no idea why they had this strange request but he had no choice.He waited till Lydia entered the office with a file in hand before smiling at him, “I have what you need on the Young group, they are highly influential group in Korea.”“Okay? Is there a reason why they are looking to speak to
Young blinked as his mouth opened but Archer was already standing to walk away. Maybe some other time, they would meet again.Despite what Damien said, he wasn’t going to endure this act of immaturity from a business man.“Allow me to apologize, Mr Slaw.” His voice stopped Archer who turned around. “You know how strict Korea is so the only time I can do this and enjoy myself is when I travel myself,”“I see, I am not against you enjoying yourself but do it during your time not when there is a meeting. We would reschedule when you are less free, I will be sure to call them in when I leave,”“It’s okay, I can always use them later. Please, sit,” Young said.Archer hesitated but he went back to sit down, “Is there a reason you came by yourself?”Young smiled, “first of all, Mr Slaw…”“You can call me Archer,”“As long as you call me Young,” Archer nodded before Young continued, “First of all, I have heard about you and I am a big fan. I am happy you don’t let anyone stop you from pushin
Archer drove to his company mostly to give him time to think about what just happened. He wondered why this person would pose as Young to get to him. He stormed into the office and shook his head, sitting down and rubbing a hand down his face. He chuckled and leaned against his desk, “Lydia,” he pressed the intercom to call her in. Lydia strolled in immediately with a curious look on her face, “Yes, boss?” “When is my next meeting?” “In the next thirty minutes, I have asked the security to direct them to the conference room and wait when they come,” “That’s good, I need to ask you something. The dossier you have on the Young group, does it have the heir’s picture in it.” Lydia shook her head sadly, “Unfortunately no, he doesn’t have any picture on social media so we don’t have any idea how he looks like. Did something happen?@ Archer sighed, “I am confused about who I met, and I am quite curious,” “I will try and find out from my own end but I wouldn’t hold my breath
For the second time since Archer entered the conference room, he started laughing again.“Excuse me? Please tell me I heard you wrong?” He asked the lawyer.The lawyer shook his head with a grim smile, “I am afraid not,”“I don’t even know his son enough to drive him to suicide, is there a reason why I am being accused of murder?”The old man’s face grew harsher as he pointed at Archer, “You did it, your actions are of no consequences to those around you. You knew my son was in love with Madison and yet you seduced her,”Archer blinked, “Your son was in love with my girl friend?”“Your girlfriend?” The man blinked.“Oh, don’t give me that. Your son didn’t tell you that the woman he was desperately lusting over was already mine?” Archer asked.The man opened his mouth to answer when he flinched halfway, the door opened and Madison stumbled inside.“I am sorry about this,” she said to Archer before she turned to glare at the man, “what the hell do you think you are doing? Is this the re
Madison tensed before she moved away from him, her face had guilt written all over it.“I didn’t sleep with him,”“I didn’t say you did. You wouldn’t do that and I trust you but you did something with him and I want to know what that is,” he said.“I kissed him,” Madison said unsure,“You did what?” Archer snarled.Madison quickly grabbed his hand to calm him, “I am sorry, I know that’s cheating but I was so angry with you and when I went back home, I drank a full bottle of wine and I couldn’t stand straight. Joakin came knocking with a file I was supposed to look at. I swear to you Archer, I was out of my mind. One minute I was ranting and cursing you to him and the next, we were kissing. I just… the reason why I didn’t come back sooner was because I was so ashamed of myself and so sure that you will want nothing to do with me?”Archer ripped his hand away from hers and faced the window, Madison stood behind him looking so small.She had held this in as long as she had because she w
Archer made good on his word.The next morning, he went straight to Madison’s company and into Benedict’s office. The man was bent over his desk reading something and mumbling to himself.Archer was glad there was no receptionist to announce his visits so he snuck in to the office and leaned against the wall.He wondered what got the man’s attention that he didn’t notice that someone was with him.“Nice view,” he said.Benedict shot up so fast with wide eyes when he saw Archer standing there, his face shuttered with anger as he glared at his visitor.“What the hell are you doing here and how did you bypass security?” He demanded. Archer rolled his eyes, “you are kidding me, right? You have forgotten who owned the company first, I am no stranger here which is why I know you were not part of the executives I had before,”He walked to the desk and sat down , Benedict slowly lowered himself back to his chair.“What do you want?”“I want to know how well you know your son to think I kille
It didn’t take long for Damien to contact Archer for the brunch. Archer was on his way to New York to meet with them. All his meetings have been canceled and his schedule cleared, he wanted to meet the man before he could begin his investigations. Archer frowned when he noticed new hostesses on his private plane, he didn’t notice that Lydia had hired new people. He made himself comfortable and frowned when one sauntered up to him with a sultry smile, “Can I get you anything, sir?” Archer nodded, “a bottle of water, please.” She nodded and walked away, returning with a bottle of water and ice. She leaned a little too closely to pour it for him. Archer leaned back when the scent of her perfume wafted into his nose. He scrunched his face and waited, “Would that be all?” She asked with that same smile. “Yes,” She walked away. He took out his laptop and started working. He had a conference call scheduled with an investor. Just a minute more to go. The laptop screen came alive an
Settled in a nice hotel, Archer took a shower and tried to relax. The brunch was tomorrow and he needed his wits to get through it.His phone rang and he picked it up, smiling already.“Why the hell have you been ignoring me?” Madison barked.She was pacing in her office and mad out of her mind at the sort of prank her boyfriend was pulling. She was tempted to fly out there and give him a piece of her mind but she had work to do.She had a reason for staying back here like she said.“Madison, I have been on a flight for hours and only just got to the hotel, I am exhausted,”“You are, aren’t you? What made you so tired? The girl giving you a blow job?”“Was it? I don’t remember,”“Archer, that isn’t funny. Please tell me you are joking,”“Come to New York and find out then,” he taunted.Madison chuckled, “all this because I said I wasn’t coming? You are acting like a baby,”“Okay, if you say so. I am sure the hostess that followed me to my room disagrees with me. But sure, anything you
