" I will not fire you," Jack said and looked at her sternly while she smiled and lowered her head. I have another chance to be with my crush! " Thank you, Mr. Kings."" But you would not be my secretary anymore. I love transparency. For something like this to have happened, it simply means that you would one day seduce me. So, you would rather work in the laboratory"" Huh?" She said and frowned. " So, get out" He said coldly while she looked at him. " I am sorry …"" Did you hear what I said? Get out!" The stares alone could not make her comprehend at all as she rushed out of the office leaving Jack to continue working. After a while, he made a phone call to the manager. " I need a male secretary in the next five minutes and tell that Gina girl to direct him on what we do here as soon as he arrives" He said and hung up while he continued to work even though he tried to keep his mind off Mira. As soon as he was done with work, he would try out Venice with her or even whereve
( Few days later)" Are you okay, sir?" Jason asked Jack who glared outside the window coldly in his black Maserati car as they prepared to attend an international conference while he said nothing." Jason, I would not be leaving work today. I'm working till dawn"" What?" Jason said and immediately lowered his head as he looked at his boss, wondering what was going on. Now that he thought about it, ever since he had began to look for that woman, he seemed very much colder. Then, he realised that ever since then, his boss had still not found the woman. " Mr. Kings, how about I give you a helping hand concerning that woman? I mean I have…."" Did I tell you that there is anything wrong with me?" Jack asked him coldly as he brought out his phone. He suddenly realised something. If Mira was not at Italy, she was back home. When he realised that, he dialled Jonny's contact. After the first ring, he picked up the call. " Good day, Mr kings"" Get me the personal information of Mira
" Is this how you have been doing this? You want to get fired? Are you trying to give room for our neighbouring company to take over our rank?" Jack asked the poor employee angrily as they switched to the next agenda on the projector. " No, sir. I mean this is how we have been doing it for the past few years and it has always worked out for us and…"" Jaden?" He called out while his secretary stood up and lowered his head. " Yes sir!"" Tell me what you have managed to find out in the business world ever since you became my secretary." Jack said coldly as he glanced at his phone. " Have you noticed that our boss still seems so cold?" A worker asked. " I do not want to get fired, let's talk about it later!" Another coworker whispered. " Sir, the market strategy of Swiss tomato paste company is the same as ours and because of that, it does not seem like any other consumer want our products!"" What batch was sent to the public the last time?" Jack asked again." Batch number 130109
" How I managed to find out is none of your business and that is final" Jack said and left the room sighing. Going through the list of the files on his table, his phone rang. Checking through his phone, he saw that Jonny was calling. " yes?" He muttered coldly." Good evening, master. I just found out where Miss Mira is."" What? Really? How come I can not get across her? Is she doing fine? Talk to me!" Jack screamed out. He could not believe that he had been worried sick just because of her. " Master, it turns out that she probably changed her contact" " Get me the new contact"" It is already sent to your email, sir" Jonny said and was about to say something else when Jack hung up and checked his email. Just as Jonny had said, it was sent to him five minutes ago. Hurriedly, he dialled her contact and after few rings making him seem so nervous, she finally picked up his call. " Good day, who am I speaking with?" Her sweet voice which seemed to calm his nerves enfolded." Mir
" What do you mean by that? Listen, you are grounded from now on pending the time that you will get married because as it is, this is not my daughter! My daughter is gone! What does that man have? Huh? What is wrong with you?"" Did you just tell me that I am grounded?" Mira asked her mother in shock. " Of course! Until then, you would never make use of a phone because I do not want to hear anything about that man that has made our family turned upside down!"" What am I? A kid? You forced me!"" I did not force you! You wanted it even when I had stopped talking about it! You know fully well that this decision was yours in the beginning!"" What? What if I say that I am not interested?" She asked her again." If you are not interested, then get the fuck out of our lives!" Her mother screamed out again while she looked at her in shock. Just because of Jack, her mother would disown her? What if she also knew the truth about him? What would happen then? She thought." Mother, did you
Eight months later. " Jack, until when would you give me your attention?"" Until, I am done with this files that would need presentation at the international conference and…"" Jack!"" Mother, why did you scream out my name that way?" Jack asked and glanced at his mother who looked so pissed off. This had been his routine for the past eight months. Working his ass off at work and then, working late hours at his study, leaving him with bags under his eyes and getting his mother worried about him. " Because this is not you! What has happened to my son? What is going on with you?" " Mother, what do I tell you is wrong with me?" He asked her coldly as he continued to work on his laptop while his mother sighed. " Maybe it was a bad decision making you come to Italy and…"His phone rang at that moment while Sarah Kings sighed. She knew what he was doing. Trying to shun her as usual but then, she did not think that she would ever give up. It was this night and she would definitely tal
" Mother, I do not understand what you are trying to tell me?" Jack began as he switched off his laptop and looked at his mother. " There is a party that is organised on a gold cruise ship annually and it is sponsored by wealthy figures like us. This ship is allowed to sail for a week. That is a week on water. It's all about dinning, winning and signing a lot of contracts! You meet new people. Get to discover a lot of things and whatever you want to do. I found out that she would be attending. But she is attending because she is not divorced and lonely. Even if you do not want her again, meet with other new women that would add value to your life. You are not getting young again. What do you think?" Sarah Kings asked while he nodded his head. Finally, eight months after, he would be meeting the woman he loved so much? He thought and folded his arms as he slowly recollected everything including the moment between them. " When is the ship coming on board?" Jack asked her again wh
" Hello, Mr kings" Rhianna Malcom began as she walked towards the handsome man and flipped her hair backwards as she smiled. " It's nice to meet you, Miss Rhianna" Jack said professional while Rhianna smiled and stretched forth her hands. How handsome! She thought again while he took her hand. " This way!" She said again and smiled as she had her legs crossed to reveal her thighs while he scoffed. " Miss Rhianna, I am here today because I was told that you are the CEO of the leading glass industry and we would like to form an alliance with you!"What? Did her father not tell him the real reason this meeting was taking place? She thought and frowned. " Oh really? But that could be later, what do you think?" She asked and carcassed her legs. " You are being unprofessional, Miss Rhianna Malcom" He said again and opened a document while Rhianna scoffed. " Why? Were you not told the reason you are here? Is it that you are not seeing my signs?'" Do you want your family to go down?" Ja
