The meeting went well as expected, Liam was quick to agree to the merger the moment I started talking about expanding his clubs and mine. I even agreed to give him some rights to my casino in vegas, he was quick to sign the contract after he heard me say that.
The briefing didn't take long and by the time I got out of the meeting room, it was almost 12pm. I'm suppose to have lunch with Miss Lana but I think I'm going to have to cancel that.
When I got to my office, I couldn't find the brunette in her small booth just outside my office. I expected her to be there, I was hopping to have a word with her concerning the nonsense she pulled this morning. Thanks to her, I'm going to have to attend this lame family dinner tomorrow night.
I should have her fired for pulling that kind of stunt but for some reason I'm going to let it slide but first, I'm going to have a word with her. I told Micheal to let her know to come see me the moment she comes back to her office. To which Micheal replied me with a nod, I'm still thinking of having him fired, this is not the first time he's allowed Dylan into my office withought my say so. I'm thinking of having him switch places with Joshua.
Immediately I got into the office, I poured myself a glass of whiskey, just something to help calm my raging thoughts. I took off my jacket and rolled my sleeves to my elbow, with one hand in my pants pocket, I grabbed the glass and walked towards my glass walls overlooking the city.
I took small sips as I thought of ways to avoid the family dinner tomorrow. The idea of seeing that man again just didn't sit right with me, I don't mind having dinner with my mum, Uncle Albert..I'm sure I can tolerate him but my excuse of a father…I just can't bring myself to sit in the same room with him.
This is not the first time my mother has made a ploy to put the both of us in the same room, but each time she invites me over, I always give the excuse of having business trip or an important meeting. And I could have done the same today if not for little-miss-know it all who went and rat out my schedule to Roy.
Again…why the fuck is she not fired yet?
Speak of the devil, I heard the sound of her tiny hands knocking on the door before she opened and tilted her head inside.
"You asked for me sir" She spoke, still peaking in.
"Come in and shut the door" I barked my orders without bothering to spare her a glance. I heard the door close behind her as she took small and slow steps towards me.
After downing my whiskey in one gulp, I placed the empty glass on the table nearby and focused my attention on her.
"Did Dylan ask for my schedule for tomorrow?" I asked with my eyes staring intently into hers. I can see how's she's struggling to keep a straight face, trying to act untouched by my suffocating presence.
"Yes sir" She replied and soon adverted her eyes like she couldn't bear to keep staring at me but I wasn't going to let her get away just like that.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you Ava" I spoke as he took a step closer to her to that we were now breathing the same air. She was a few inches shorter than me, though she had the average height for a lady.
"Why did you tell Dylan about my schedule?" I asked, still not breaking my gaze from her.
I watched as she parted her lips in an attempt to speak but then she closed them short and took a deep breath as if trying to calm herself. But when she starts speaking again, she sounded so composed and not like the girl from a few seconds earlier.
"I didn't tell him your schedule Sir, when Mr Harper walked in, I was editing your schedule for tomorrow and so he was able to check it directly from my computer." She spoke with her eyes matching my gaze, unwavering.
'Is that so..'
I thought as the words she poke registered in my head, I was already prepared to scare her a little maybe threaten her that she was going to lose her job. I already prepared this whole scenario in my head where she would beg me to let her keep her job, I wasn't expecting this at all.
But still I wasn't pleased…why? I didn't dismiss her, I just kept staring at her, my eyes meeting her gaze..taunting her. Now I had a close look at her features, she had blue hazel eyes which matched her brown silky hair that she always has in a bun. I imagine how it would feel like to pull her hair back while she screams…..
Fuck…I can't believe I'm having these thoughts in broad daylight.
It's not like she's wearing anything seductive, she's dressed in a floral blue gown that stops
Under her knees, paired with those fucking flats. Very unattractive.
"Was there something else you wanted sir?" She asked innocently, which was her way of saying she wanted to be out of my presence as soon as possible.
I simple watched her for a few more seconds withought saying another word, I turned my back to her and strode to my desk.
"You may leave" I added while I took my seat.
I watched as she gave a small nod and then walked out of the office without looking back but the entire time I had my eyes on her.
