Hating him more

"Sir, as per your order, we talked to every important investor in Mrs.Ricahrdson's company, they're convinced to back off and take back their invested shares, " a man in a black business suit informed Zuriel

I shook my head and gawked at Zuriel, what the hell was happening here

"And we also managed to block all the roadways around this area, from your company, so that heavy traffic jam," and this makes me gasp

So, Zuriel was the one who did this all, that's the reason, for my company's tragic condition

Now, I hate you officially

I clutched my hand over my chest, keeping my hand over my mouth, tears started falling over my eyes

How can someone stand up at this level just to hurt someone

I hate you, Zuriel

My pulse quickened, as a hard sensation rises up on my chest, who the hell he thinks of himself

I quickly slammed the door open and glared at him, I went towards him, invading his personal space, we were so close to each other, even our noses are yet to be touched together

Zuriel gestured that to go, and now we both are alone here

"Are you out of your mind, who did this all to someone just to bother them, do you even realize, what I've been through because of your selfishness," I said as my muscles tensed, that car almost hit me if Zach, didn't have  pulled me away with him

"I hate you Zuriel," I whispered looking into his eyes

"I'm not also dying for you to love me, you mean nothing to me, you're no one for me," he said as veins of his neck bulged

My blood ran cold, with my chest felt so heavy, I know I'm about to cry

And why?

Why his hateful words are affecting me so much if I'm nothing for him then he's also nothing for me

I'm the fool who thought that he might be different from why he shows me, I thought he might care for me

But damm, I'm wrong very, very wrong

"Then why to bother, why bother to destroy me, to destroy my company, if I'm nothing for you," I snapped at him

He comes more closer to me, our lips are only inches apart "Because, I hate this fucking innocence in your eyes, I hate you, I hate her, once she used me with this innocence I won't let you do the same,"

*********

"Get the car ready, Zach if they won't come then we will go there and convince them," I told Zach while coming out from my office sitting in the car

It's been two days, since that incident

And as much I hate that Zuriel, but I have to make everything right again

I have to talk myself to those investors if they're ignoring me

I just can't let the company for which I worked so hard, can't let it go into bankruptcy

And Zuriel thinks that he can break me, break my self-confidence, he can ruin me

He is wrong, very, very wrong

I won't let him ruin me so easily, I will never

The car stopped at Mr.Fleming's office, I quickly made my way inside to his office

Mr.Fleming was a very renowned banker and invested, he even has many contacts, which can help me to have investors in my company

If Zuriel will take away my old investors then I'll find more prominent new  ones

This will be the best answer to Zuriel

That day in his office, I didn't tell him anything

Because actions speak louder than words

"Did you have an appointment," his assistant asked as

"Do you know who is she, she is the wife of Mr.Zuriel Richardson, doe she even needs that thing, before meeting anyone," Zach said to that girl, Mr.Fleming's assistant"

Her eyes widened  and she quickly looked at me

"I'm so sorry ma'am, you can go," she led us inside to the office

I glared coldly at Zach, why did he take Zuriel's name, he knows I don't like to take advantage of anyone's name

Zach shook his head and passed me thumbs up

As soon as Mr.Fleming saw us, he stood up and approached me

"Mrs.Richardson, please have a seat," he gestured me and Zach to be seated

"Please, called me Brielle sir," I laughed and gestured to Zach to keep  the files and Presentations ready

"What brings you here," he asked me

"Actually sir, I want you to invest and talk to your partners too, into invest in my company," I said while taking the iPad from Zach

He raised his eyebrows," But Brielle,  I'm so sorry, but your company was at the edge of bankruptcy," he told me while looking at me

"I know that very well sir, but for how long, I said, and he raised his eyebrows at me

" Sir, as you also know the quality and premium value of my company's products are Much better, yes our shares are not in good conditions, but seeing the share market condition, I will be very high, of it will get the proper investing, and a chance, please sir think about it," I said

"Your proposal is impressive," Mr.Fleming said while reading, the reports which, I showed  him on iPad

***********

"I can't believe this happened finally Bri," Zach exclaimed as his face lit up seeing the contract

"Yes it is," I smiled

"I've talked to other investors too, Bri, good thing was some was even my high school friends and guess what they  all agreed to invest in your company," Ivan entered in my office with a couple of other contracts too

"See everything was starting to get fine," Zach said, and I nodded at him cheekily

"I'm so gald were able to make it," Ivaan said pouring red wine for all three of us

"But, Zach you should have not taken Zuriel's name, I really hate this, you also know very well didn't you," I said while taking a sip of my wine

"Oh, come on Bri, he's the one who was responsible for this condition of our company, just don't feel bad that we used his name, to meet Mr.Fleming, consider it that he paid a fine for all the damage he caused to the company," Zach smirked mad I shook my head smiling

Practically, Zach was not wrong either, Zuriel was the one because of whom my company was almost gone bankrupt I shook my head

"What can we expect from someone like that Zuriel," Ivaan said gripping the glass of his wine so hard as he will just about to break that

"Bro," I quickly placed my hand over his arm to make him calm

"Excuse me," my brother, Ivaan quickly stood up and went away

I looked at his back, then suddenly Zuriel's words rang in my ears

"Because I hate this fucking innocence in your eyes, I hate you, I hate her, once she used me with this innocence I won't let you do the same,"

Is Zuriel was talking about that girl, who was his first love.
