The grin chilled Mia to the bone as she realized that he had no intention of letting her go tonight. Whatever his plan was for her, it was not going to be favorable nor would there be an easy way to get out of it.“And I gave my phone to Aurora! What a dunce!” she berated herself as she wracked her brain for what to do.She looked at the back of the driver’s head and wondered how so much ruckus could be going on behind him and he did not even turn at all. “This must be something not new to him,” she thought. Rich young master, my foot! This bastard is nothing but a slimy worm! She shuddered when she belatedly realized that her butt was uncomfortably close to his crotch. How she ended up sitting partly on him, she had no idea.Her mother always said she lost her sense of reasoning when she was furious anyway. How else would she explain that she was sitting so intimately on someone she was trying to fight off?“Good job” she muttered and felt most disgusted by the hot air from his nost
She hit him anyway “Where the hell were you?” Jason would have smiled normally at her feisty attitude but not at the moment. The mad dash from the diner to the club where he met her friend fretting as she hysterically explained what happened had soured his mood. Even though he had to call them to verify where the bastard was heading, he refused to have any backup to deal with this slime that thought his father’s money gave him the right to treat everyone the way he wanted. He had been lying in wait for them at the hotel and he was about to show himself as the car entered when he saw Mia dash out of the car in a panic. Jason wondered briefly what she would have done if he was not there as the men were right on her heels. Fucking Fitzgeralds. She was shivering, damn it! He realized when he looked at her very well and he realized that despite her fury, she was badly shaken. He felt shamed for not fulfilling his promise to her. “I am sorry, Mia,” he said solemnly and she nodded befor
Jason called Theo and asked one of the men to come with a car but Theo was the one that brought the car followed by one of the men’s cars. "Sir, I have been so worried,” he said anxiously as he parked beside Jason. Jason was glad that he already sent the girls back to their hostel as Theo didn’t only bring the car himself, he brought some men with him too. Jason dismissed his worry and sent him along with the men and he drove the Lykan Hypersports to Dengal University of Technology, Mia’s school. He smiled to himself as he remembered that Celia once accused him that he was the one who influenced her kids’ love for technology-related courses. Silas studied Software engineering while Mia was currently studying Web Development and Data Science. Even though Silas was more based on his robotic team buildup these days after Matteo had taken over Jason’s company, the guy was a badass software developer and he had taken a huge part in the software that got them the Sundara deal but all that
Jason flipped the paper over and saw the handwritten note “If you are reading this; that means you finally figured it out. One of these is the contact of those in charge. They know who you are” Jason checked the envelopes again and saw another embossed folded paper in another envelope. True enough, each company was listed with the name of its president and contact details. Surprisingly, Matteo’s name was not listed on Darlington Hotel or Engorge. Jason shook his head “Guess you were not all that after all, idiot” he muttered to himself and stood to pace. He looked at the name of the Acting CEO of the parent company, Paragon Heights and he realized that it was one Charlotte Gibson. He was surprised that all those presidents with their ages and entitlement reported to a female but he was sure that she must be quite capable for his leader to hand over such a huge conglomerate to her. “I have to pay them a visit,” he thought and he picked up his phone to call the number attached to t
Jason smiled “I am not a fan of cocktails, Sarracio. So I cannot accept this”“What? Is he crazy? How could he not want that?”“And as a gift too!”“Oh, I wished I am the one been given that!”The people’s murmur reached Jason’s table and he wondered if he was embarrassing Sarracio by rejecting his gift. He was no fan of mixed brews though and Jason did not care that it was so hyped and quite expensive too. It was just another drink to him.Just then he saw Mia talking to one of the doormen at the entrance, he smiled and nodded at Sarracio. “I do know someone who might be interested though. Thank you”Sarracio
“What exactly is this surprise about?” Silas asked for the umpteenth time as they got out of the car. Mia shrugged “Don’t look at me. Jason is being all hush-hush about it” “You sure loved driving that” he inclined his head towards the Koenigsegg they got down from. Mia drove like a bat that was smoked out of its hole on their way. You bet I do” She looked back at the car and winked at her brother as they waited for Jason who was parking. Then she tapped the handle of her sunglasses against her teeth as she watched Jason approach them in his graceful movement “He still won’t tell me what this was all about though. Promised to tell us later” she turned to look at Silas with a narrowed eyes “Do you know something?” “Nope, nothing. Even if I know, I am not telling you” he said with an aggravating grin before leaving her side to go meet Jason “Yoh, Jay. You are not about to tell me that you pulled me away from my practice for sightseeing, are you? Because I might just decide to kill
“I have made arrangements for the alterations, Mr Rouarke. Everything would be done latest by tomorrow”“That fast?” Silas said with widened eyes as he looked over at Jason who merely shrugged, he was beginning to realise just how different his once homeless friend had become.Andrea nodded “Also, I was waiting to know if you have capable people that you think might be suitable for personnel, if not I will the process of getting the right hands on deck,” she said briskly.“Whoa, just like that?” Silas asked“Operation can be fully functional by tomorrow, sir. Just waiting on your directives”Jason saw that Silas was almost getting glassy-eyed by how fast everything was moving. Of course, Andrea who was used to things being fast-paced and even the decision of life and death being made in seconds might have no idea but Jason knew Silas needed some time to digest the fact that he owns a company now.“Andrea, what about you hold off first on that and Silas would get back to you,” he said
In an opulent, lavishly designed hospital room that looked more like someone’s master bedroom. Matteo lay sleeping on the 12inch well-padded bed as the transfusion IV hooked to his good arm trickled slowly.His right arm was heavily swaddled in a plastic cast and held up with a Brandon sling. He lay uncomfortably curved as the sling gave no mobility to his arm.Jose looked at his young master with anger filling his frame at the person who dared to do that. Jason Monroe.Jose had no idea why his master had said that they should steer clear of that young man. Master Andre had specifically warned him that if his stupid son gave him any order regarding Jason, Jose should disobey the order and inform him immediately.Jose couldn’t understand what kind of power that young man had. He remembered him well as the unfortunate young man who angered his young master more than three years ago and was tossed into jail. Jose knew about the arrangement that kept the young man behind bars for three ye
