Return of the Tycoon

CHAPTER FIVE

"We have arrived Ma'am".

The driver said to Lisa, as they arrived Don Michaelson's company. 

"A minute, let me turn the engine off, then I'll come get the door for you". 

Don Michaelson's driver said to her, as he turned off the engine. 

"There you go Ma'am"

he says, as he opens the car door for her to step out.

"He is expecting you. Just tell the desk attendant, you are his 'Red appointment', she will understand and know what to do". 

he said to her, as she came out of the vehicle. 

"Now, this is a man I will glady and proudly call my husband".

Lisa admired the company's building as she made her way through the lobby, to the front desk. 

"Hey, you there, quickly inform my sweetness of my presence" 

Feeling so proud of herself already, as she arrogantly said to the desk attendant. Perhaps, she was going to be Don Michaelson's wife after all, or so she thought.

"Tell him, his red appointment is here"

she said to the desk attendant. 

"Ma'am, please take a sit and wait, while I let him know of your arrival". 

The desk attendant said to Lisa.

"This is it. It's quite something isn't it?"

It was Roseline talking to Pedro. They had both arrived the sub company. As a matter of fact, Don Michaelson's company was actually one of Pedro's sub-companies, under The Del Monte Group of companies. Pedro walked into the lobby with Lisa, while looking round the lobby. Roseline's voice caught the attention of Lisa, as she was still standing at the attendant's desk, as Pedro and Roseline came in. She turned back and saw her husband, Pedro looking around the place. He hadn't even noticed that, she was the one standing at the attendants desk, as his attention was on the company.

"Who do we have here? If it isn't Mr. Educated himself. The king of credentials and number one pauper, on the face of the earth. Let me guess, you followed me down here? Ohhh, wait, you are looking for a job. If it's a job you are looking for here, sorry, because I will make sure of it, that you don't get one. No, not here. Before you bring your bad luck and poverty to my sweetness's company". 

Lisa had already started off with the insults, unprovokingly. While she said all these demeaning things to Pedro, he didn't say a word to her, but only stood there, staring at her.

"Did this bi.." 

Roseline wanting to dish out the same to Lisa, but Pedro, made a hand gesture and stopped her, before she could even start.

"Oh, his new woman, I suppose? Wow, this is really interesting. I wonder what you two will produce. A pauper and a cheap slut. I guess you both are just perfect for each other. Look at them both, staring at me like dummies. Fools".

Lisa continued, smiling and making a jest of Pedro and Roseline. Still, Pedro just looked at her, said nothing, not uttering as much as a single word. She never knew Pedro was the owner of the company supposedly owned by her lover, Don Michaelson, and Michaelson was just the head of operations for the company, as it was one of the sub-companies under The Del Monte Group of companies. In truth, no one there knew Pedro. From the workers at the lobby, to the visitors and down to the desk attendant even. None of them knew who Pedro was,  because ever since the passing of his father, Pedro-senior, he never visited any of the sub-companies, since his emergence as, President to The Del Monte dynasty.

Shortly, Don Michaelson arrived the lobby from the elevator, as he had come down, to take his lover, Lisa out, as they earlier planned to spend the day together.

"What is he doing here?"

Michaelson asked, seeing Pedro was present, standing in the lobby with Roseline. Even Michaelson had no idea that Pedro was his boss, because all the while, he assumed the position of 'Head of operations' for the sub-company, him and other heads of operations from other sub-companies have only been having meetings with Alexander, which Michaelson did not know, was Pedro's younger brother, standing in for Pedro, since he never wanted anything to do with the company or the family's wealth.

"Apparently, he came to look for a job at your company, Sweetness. Him and this...this new slut of his". 

Lisa said to Don Michaelson, as she gave a dirty look to Roseline.

"Anyways, there's no job for you here. Try your luck somewhere else".

Michaelson said to Pedro. Pedro just stood there, staring at them both.

"Hey!"

Don Michaelson, snapping his fingers at Pedro 

"Young man, are you deaf? I said there's no job here. Why are you still here, standing and staring at us? Take your leave immediately".

Michaelson said. He had called Pedro a young man, because he, Don Michaelson was in his early sixties, while Pedro was in his early thirties. 

"Sweetness, let him stay. When he is tired, he will leave. You know, this is new for him. He has never been to a company like this before. So, let him admire it and enjoy the moment of being inside such a prestigious company like yours, my Sweetness". 

Lisa said to Don Michaelson. She crossed her hand over his shoulder and gave him a peck on his left cheek.

"Let's go have our fun, Sweetness, and leave paupers like these two".

Lisa said, as she looked Pedro and Roseline, down from their legs and up to their faces, in a dirty manner. 

As she walked away with Don Michaelson, she briefly turned back and said to Pedro,

"I'm sure you heard from my lawyers. So, prepare yourself, as you will be called later in the week to come for the divorce proceedings. Chow chow".

Doing finger waves to Pedro and Roseline, as she waved them goodbye, with a chuckle. 

"Master, you would have let me take off at least a tooth from her mouth and feed it to her. Imagine the nerve on this bitch. The stupid head of operations doesn't even know who you are. This is annoying"

Roseline grunts, going back and forth at the lobby.

"Don't let that bother you, Roseline. Don't let it bother you a bit" 

said Pedro. For even Roseline, did not know what was in her Master's mind at that time. Pedro had become so bitter and filled with rage, but no one noticed, because he kept his cool throughout the whole situation. Even the devil himself will come to fear Pedro, when he carries out his revenge. He had already started norturing his revenge in his heart. The coming days will reveal that, there's is indeed a fine line between love and hate, and Lisa was going to understand that, soon enough.
