“Well, what if we both come back in a few days’ time with a better deal, I will work on bringing my own deal down and you—“ Hudson seemed not to be having any of that, “Fine, you have yourself a deal, then” Hudson cut her sentence, putting his signature on the line that was specifically left for that. He was seated with Bethel by his side across a lady who had her secretary standing behind her in a medium sized office with nothing and chair, the structure looked like it was strictly meant for office, there were stacks of document on the table. “Are you kidding me?” Bethel whispered beside him, only loud enough for him to hear, but Hudson just decided to ignore. He rose to his feet and stretched his hand forward to the lady seating opposite him. She seemed to be in her late twenties, the same expression was on her face as that of Bethel; disappointment, shock. She didn’t expect him to agree to the deal just like that, she was hoping the deal would stretch on for a few more days, ho
Hudson sat in a restaurant close to the window, he had been constantly checking his wristwatch over and over with brief intervals between them. He had a blank expression on his face. The door to the restaurant suddenly pushed open and he raised his head up, disappointment flashed through his eyes and he turned his head to the glass. “Hey” a voice called beside him. He turned his head to the person, a frown slowly making its way to his face. “How may I help you?” he asked. The person standing in front of him was a tall, bulky man with beards and untidy hair, his height clearly measuring a few inches above six feet. He had a very scary look also. “Adonis Zephyrus wants to see you outside” he said, gesturing with his head by tilting it in the direction that leads outside. “he said he will prefer to have this meeting outside” Hudson let out a soft chuckle and rose to his feet, following him closely, stopping at where a black SUV car was parked on a very dark side. He could sense da
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Hudson yells into the phone that was placed on his office table, it was placed on speaker and he was alone in his office. He turned his back to the office table, staring at the floor-to-ceiling window, his hand folded on his chest with a pissed off expression on his face. “So what you are trying to tell me is that the person that did this bullshit in my name made sure to clean his tracks properly?” he asked, still finding it hard to believe that the real culprit can’t be tracked down. “Yes sir. The culprit behind it only left something that pointed to you as the culprit” the caller on the other end of the line said. Hudson sighed and bent his head low, staring at the ground, his eyes searching. A knock on his door distracted him, pulling him out of his thoughts. “Keep on searching, there must be a flaw in the work that they did” he said and ended the call immediately. “Come in,” he said, turning back to face the door. The door was pushed open and hi
Alexis sat on the edge of the pool with only her feet dipped into the pool, she was clad in a black bikini. She had a bottle of champagne by her side and a flute which showed signs that it was once filled but had now been drunk to half. Since Alexis had been staring at home, Hudson had made sure to hire a staff of workers to help with the house chores. She raised it up and took a sip, hearing footsteps approaching her, she turned back and saw Hudson walking towards her, he was clad only a black boxer briefs. He flashed a smile before entering into the water, he positioned himself between her legs. Beneath that smile on his face, she could tell that he was tired but he tried as hard as he could to hide it away from her. She buried her hand into his hair, “What’s wrong?” she asked with a puzzled expression on her face. “What do you mean?” Hudson muttered, placing his ear on her stomach to listen for movement, a genuine smile appeared on his face, he let out a sigh and raised his hea
Bethel let out a dark chuckle, “You and I both know that what you just said is an obvious lie” he replied with a shake of his head, hoping to hear from Andy’s lips that he was joking but the look in his eyes were saying otherwise. “What do you take me for?” Andy asked, spreading his arms wide open, “Huh?” he questioned again, rising to his feet. “Get your ass back on the couch, Andy, don’t test my goddamned patience because they are really running thin now and it can snap any moment from now” Bethel threatened through clenched teeth, rising to his feet, his eyes wide-opened, the look in them showing how furious he is. He had his gun pointed to Andy, his finger on the trigger, it was taking all he had not to pull the trigger that moment. “Are you guys really thinking that I am your errand boy, doing your dangerous work?” Andy asked with a questioning expression on his face. “You had us fooled all this while, don’t test my patience and stick your fucking ass back to the chair” Bethe
Hudson slipped out of the bed, picking his phone off the nightstand, he took one more look at Alexis, she was sound asleep, snoring softly. He turned away, walking down the stairs to the kitchen before picking up the incoming call from Bethel. “He has no idea of what he is planning” he said immediately the call was picked while munching on something. Hudson placed the phone on speaker and dropped it on the island before walking to the fridge, his eyebrows scrunched up in confusion. “Huh, what do you mean?” he asked. “Oh,” Bethel cleared his throat, “Your hunch was right, Ethan is really the person behind the mask, Andy himself doesn’t know what he is planning. He is just doing as he is being told” he added. The munching sound followed next. Hudson groaned at the sound, showing his irritation at it. He pulled off a pack of ice and walked towards where his cups are neatly arranged, pulling out a whiskey glass, he broke some ice into it and returned it to the fridge. He grabbed his
Andy parked his black Cadillac car beside a red Ferrari in front of an uncompleted building. He stepped out of the car and walked into the building with an anxious face. The look in his eyes showed that he didn't sleep the previous night. He couldn't sleep, despite how much he forced himself to, he had been wondering what the phone call he got from Ethan is, he had told him to meet up with him here this morning urgently. Immediately he stepped into the building, fear engulfed him as different thoughts filled his head. The building was empty, his footsteps echoed in the building, it was also dark and it looked creepy."You are early," Ethan whispered in his ear from behind. Andy jumped in fright, he groaned in pain as his injured feet hit the ground. "Fuck it man" "What's up with you, why do you look frightened?" Ethan asked, folding his hand on his chest and looking at him keenly. Andy quickly composed himself, putting on his brightest smile, with a wave of his hand he replied, "
Andy sat behind the desk in his office, since he had stepped in as the fake CEO of the company, he had been carrying out all the duties except making any decisions, Ethan made sure to tell him not to make any decision by himself no matter how little and less crucial he might deem the final say to be. He pulled open his laptop, his hand was already beginning to work on the keyboard as he was compiling the documents that he was to send to Ethan in a few hours’ time. While in the middle of work, a knock landed on his door, distracting him from the work he had buried himself into. He raised his head up to look at the door, “Come in” He intertwined his fingers together and placed them under his chin with a blank expression on his face, it was an expression he had already mastered in the few days he had spent in the seat impersonating Ethan. Deep down he was wondering who it might be, after double checking his schedule again a few minutes ago he was sure that he had no visitors for today
