Having fun
"What!!?But... but you never said that ", James accused furiously.
" Didn't I? I thought I did. The people promised to double the amount eight times if it was your eldest son, but since you chose Stanley, then I will send him off tomorrow. " Xavier concluded it was as if he was negotiating with a business partner on the price of a piece of land.
" No wait!" James hurriedly stopped, "if that's the case, then I will send Nelson. After hearing the amount of money in question, he quickly changed his mind to 80 million dollars that could come back.
" What!!!! Dad" someone exclaimed from behind him.
On hearing this voice, James remained rooted in the same spot for a while before turning to the direction the voice came from standing by the door was his eldest son glaring at him with hatred..
How can a full grown man be sold out like a woman?
" Son, you can only blame Xavier's inhumanity" he hurriedly, pushing the blame on Xavier, who was busy enjoying the show happening in his office.
Nelson stared at his so-called brother with hatred.
"You already planned this out a long time ago, right? "He angrily demanded. Just a few days ago, he was happy that he was the only one left with his position at the company as the general manager while his father and brother were thrown out. Never did he imagine that he would witness that day..
" Why did you do this to me brother?" He asked if he hadn't done anything to hurt this brother of his..
" Why ?, Did you just ask why? " Xavier scoffed with his fingers drumming on his desk and his head looking up in the sky as if he was deeply thinking about the question " because you bullied Lilac ", he suddenly said like a vengeful devil.
" What, he bullied Lilac, when ? How ? He never spoke to that wild girl, even for once. That was clearly the doing of Stanley and his friend. When did you see me even talk to that wild girl ?"
Immediately, he said that something flashed in Xavier's eyes, but Nelson was too carried away to notice, but on the other hand, cold sweat already broke out on his father's forehead.
" Of course you did nothing but to watch those low lives bully her and that happened to be your mistake."
Guilt immediately filled Nelson's eyes. He was right when Lilac was with them. He watched his brother and friend bully her simply because she was too close to Xavier, but that was then. Why would he be sent to a foreign country to marry someone he knew nothing about?
" When will you stop all this by getting revenge on a wild girl who died a hundred years ago" he yelled, angry seeing that his father tried to persuade him.
" Nelson, you don't have to be like this. Maybe it's better this way if those people can pay such an amount of money, then they should be well to do."
" Shut up!!!!" 13 years ago you sold off that little girl to stabilize your business . 13 years later you are selling out your own son , what's the difference between both of you?" Nelson was really furious. These two were really father and son .
" Tony sent him to the airport ", Xavier said nonchalantly, interrupting the father and son's conversation while carefully taking his seat.
" No need. I still have something to do ". Nelson rudely rejects the offer. He knows his way to the airport.
" Mr Nelson, we have already made all the arrangements for you, your luggage is already on the plane " Tony said politely, guarding Nelson to the door..
Nelson turned and glared at his so-called brother," If you think after doing this you can sleep soundly,dream on because she is already a dried bone. "
" What about you? If you could sleep for the past 13 years, why can't I ? Forget it, Tony, send him to the airport", Xavier ordered indifferently.
"Lilac, you see big brother is fighting for you" he lamented once the office was silent.
Not long after, James came back in, " how do I get the money ?" He asked with a smiling face.
Xavier just went to his drawer and retrieved a check. After some time, he threw it at James' face. James was surprised. How come he is the one paying him?
As if he just realized something, he quickly picked up the check " you, bastard!!! So if there's no wealthy family in a foreign country, where are you sending my son ? Which family did he get married to ?" he angrily demanded, but the young man he was talking to wore an indifferent look on his face.
" Xavier, you won't be arrogant all your life"he cursed, before storming out the door.
After he left, Tony came in. He was sure that the boss had some important orders that needed to be carried out.
" Have sent him to the airport boss, " he reported.
" Destroy everything that Johnson owns, send everything we have on him to the media. I want him to be left with nothing, not even his reputation. Call the president of Neo international and tell him that if he does not want to fight with the Rockford family he should end whatever business he has with Mr Johnson".
Tony was surprised the boss actually brought up the Rockford family. His influence on his boss was actually getting deeper.
" What about Miss Johnson" he asked?
" Sue her, and everything she owns. Sue her along with her defamations," he replied, like a vengeful king from hell.
" Yes sir " he accepted the order with open arms. He so much enjoyed doing this type of work, cleaning the cold sweat on his face. He felt deeply sorry for Mr Johnson and his daughter outside of everyone in country A. She actually offended the boss. Even if she had nine lives, she wouldn't be able to repent her mistake.
See the case of the Rey family. The father is now jobless, his wife ran away with her young lover. Now the first son is on his way to an unknown land to become the son in-law of an unknown family, while the last one is still in prison for insulting madam..
Ah boss, you are really ruthless. He felt like falling on his knees and kowtowing several times to this boss of his.
*****
SEASIDE Villa.
"Where is your madam?" Xavier asked one of the mads. Immediately, he walked into the mansion.
" The madam... madam.....mad....is is a....t the...Bea....ch" the maid said while shivering with fear,. Since the madam is not like normal people, she was not allowed to leave the house, but the madam suddenly insisted on going to the beach with her nurse.
Xavier did not even say a word to the maid again. He just walked down to the beachside.
He heard soft laughter coming from the beachside, but that laugh was so gentle that he found himself transfixed in one spot,
He had never seen her laugh like that. Instead of continuing with his journey, he hid himself behind the white wall and took out a cigar..
" Ah!! I surrender and am not running again" came that gentle sweet voice..
" Really.. you are just too weak, " the nurse Ella said, still running after her boss.
Clara laughed so hard when Glory caught up with her..
However, a certain someone was unknowingly smiling so hard that his face became red , 'The nurse Ella was really good at her work. Maybe I'll just give her a raise.' he thought, looking at the woman giggling like a child.
" Having fun ?!! "
Clara froze when she heard that voice coming from behind Glory. All the hair on her body stood up.
"He, he is coming from behind you" she managed to inform Glory.
Earlier, Glory paid all the maids in the house but they did not know if he actually recognized Ella.
Glory didn't need any reminders, since she was already feeling the oppressive aura coming from behind her. Just what type of wolf did this little rabbit get married to? She wondered, looking at her friend who was equally trembling.
" I won " Clara suddenly exclaimed.
" No, I don't think I clearly won" Ella said, disagreeing with her.
" Stop bullying me, I won" Clara laughed.
" Having fun? " Xavier said again when he got to them.
"Glory shivered, good day sir. I was spending some time with madam but since you are here I should leave," she said, trying to escape if possible, disappearing.
" Wait!"The two women became very restless. " sirrrr" Did he notice anything?
" You've taken care of your madam very well, I will give you a 50% raise,"the man said.
The two women became speechless, but Glory was happy she had just started working and already gotten a raise in her pay. Maybe he cared about his wife after all.
" Thanks boss" she said before leaving .
'Why is that voice familiar? ' Xavier wondered.
Pushing the thought aside, he pulled up his sleeves before bending beside his wife who was busy with the soil, totally ignoring his presence. He was silently checking her out. This was the first time he had seen her in short pants but not had boom shorts.
because she wouldn't dare wear such clothes outside because he trusted her in that way, but seeing her in short today made him realize how beautiful those long slim legs were under the sun.
Seeing that he also bent over and was building a house with the soil on, Clara was surprised, seeing how focused he seemed to be.
He was always handsome when he was deeply focused, but why is he doing this, guilt? Is he feeling guilty?
No, I doubt that, he is not the type of man to feel that way.
" If you don't start building, I'll win" he said playfully.
" Who said, am competing with you, hmmph!!!, " Clara hissed, turning to face the other side, seeing that Xavier pulled off his shoes and kneel down next to her again, not minding that he would dirty his expensive pants.
Seeing him by her side again, Clara did the same thing but he followed. Both of them continued playing like kids on the sandy beach. Xavier was having fun teasing her this way.
" You are a reporter, you want to take pictures "Clara yelled, throwing sand at him .
' Is she getting another attack?' Xavier was surprised but he couldn't do anything because the sand went into his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't get angry at her but was instead looking for how to clean his eyes, she felt bad.
He didn't seem to be getting it out of him, she felt bad watching him struggle with it. Before she knew it, she started taking steps closer to him with the mindset of helping him out.
Slowly taking each step, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly do something to her.
