Emiliano sat in the back sit as Nickolas drive the car at high speed as per his boss’s request, it’s not like he had no choice, but his boss was in a foul mood and unlike every time he smiled and joked this time he had a serious deadly face on and Nickolas knew when the mess with him, and he felt pity for the person who was the reason for his anger.
Nickolas drove the car in silence as Emiliano focused his attention on his bandaged hand and frowned, he preferred not to say anything, but he hated Sia for going to his room without his permission not just that, but she dared to sleep in the same bed as him. When he woke up in the morning he found her carelessly resting her head on him, she was lucky he had his so-called business to take care of early or else something bad would have happened to her
“Sir, we are here”Nicholas said and Emiliano, who still had his eyes glued to his hand, looked up and to his sides and found they had arrived at the private resort where he was to meet Logan. The car door was opened by none other than Trey who had been waiting for his boss’s arrival together with four other men in black suits.
“Welcome sir”Trey said with a bow as Emiliano stepped out of the car and fixed his blue suit and wore his sunglasses and scanned his surroundings like a predator looking for its prey and like he ordered the entire place was quiet and the private lounge where Logan was already waiting for him was to the left, and therefore he made his way there followed by the four men including Trey who was now the trusted right-hand man.
Emiliano entered the place and spotted his enemy sitting while sipping who knew what as he whispered to his assistant and when Logan saw Emiliano his entire feature darkened however Emiliano didn’t give scared as he approached the table.
“I guess the habit of being late is still there”Logan said sarcastically and took the glass of wine from the table and sipped his wine without sparing Emiliano a single glance and of course Emiliano wasn’t one to care.
“What can I say I like to take my time considering… that some people are irrelevant”He remarked with a smirk and sat down, and immediately a waiter rushed to him and prepared to pour a drink for him, but Emiliano raised his hand for him to stop, and the man nervously retreated to a corner and Logan frowned.
“May I know why you invited me here? Because everyone knows I have a company to manage”Logan went straight to the point because he just received news from his assistant that Emiliano Alvaro wanted to have breakfast with him which was weird because he knew Emiliano and him were never friends hence wondered why the man suddenly wanted to see him.
“And I have all the free time in the world?.. are you insinuating that I’m incompetent Logan?”Emiliano asked in a sarcastic tone and Logan found his statement funny such that a sharp laugh escaped his lips as he sat in a comfortable position facing Emiliano and set his hands on the table and declared in a mocking tone.
“Not knew Emiliano… while you have the whole time in the world to woo women… I have a company to manage as the CEO”his voice was sharp with disease as he shot out the words making it clear that Emiliano was not as great as he thought he was because he was too irresponsible to even manage his family business later on take over as CEO.
“Hahaha… I don’t need to think hard to handle business matters, my good man… I can crack deals with eyes closed but… as I know”he stated with a chuckle that had Logan clenching his fist in anger and Logan knew what he meant, it wasn’t old news that Logan and Emiliano had a few grudges going on from the past years, and now it seemed as if their hatred for each other was growing even more.
“You think so highly of yourself Emil, I wonder if you will ever find peace and for me… I rather focus on something worth it and that’s my wedding happening soon,”Logan decided to change the topic and shift to his wedding which the world knew and envied to the core. He couldn’t wait to rub it on Emiliano’s face that he was finally marrying the woman of his dreams.
“Ahh! I forgot to congratulate you for that achievement… I wonder if it will ever happen… will it?” Emiliano said and rose to his feet and made his way to the large window which showed the outside view and with curiosity Logan too made his way there and stood there and arched a brown at Emiliano who had a smile on his face for some reason.
“I’m afraid you are not invited my good man, I know you would be busy entertaining some woman… is it?” Logan now has the upper hand because Emiliano was doing everything he could to keep his anger in check and seeing this Logan smirked.
“Afraid that the bride would change her mind once she… sees me?” This time Emiliano’s voice was full of pride as he shoved his hands in his pockets, Trey was still lost as he stood on the sideline watching the two men talk in a weird way again. He had to say these wealthy men had a weird way of talking to each other, although they were using regular words at each other he knew they were insulting each other which he smirked greatly and by now he was sure his boss would have the last laugh, he pitied Logan.
“Hahaha… I admire your courage, but my woman is someone who is not easily tamed by other men… I assure you she wouldn’t even dare look at you,”Logan knew Sia very well and of what he knew Emiliano was what she hated in a man and would never dare have anything with him. Emiliano was a Casanova who had multiple women at his disposal and Sia hated such men, and hence he wasn’t worried.
“Such luck I must say, but I advise you to watch your back Logan… better stay within your limits and keep away from my possession or else hell will fall on you”Emiliano said and Logan felt angered as he threw the glass in his hands against the wall with so much strength that Trey and Logan’s assistant flinched in fear while Emiliano remained standing without moving an inch and prepared to walk away, but Logan’s next words stopped him in his tracks as he glanced back with a dark expression.
“I dare you Emiliano… trust me when it comes to the woman I love I don’t spare anyone or anything… you better watch your moves”Saying that Logan smirked and left Emiliano standing there still trying to process what Logan just said ‘woman I love’ the words repeated in his head and Trey who was nervously standing behind him swallowed air as he tried to look for words to say to his boss but just then Emiliano let out a sarcastic laugh and turned to Trey who was utterly confused as in why his boss was suddenly happy.
“Trey…”? Emiliano called out to Trey and Trey rushed to him and stood before him with his head bowed and Emiliano left him there and went to the table to pour himself a drink.
“Are you married?” Emiliano asked after sipping on the cold bitter drink and Trey with wide eyes looked up at his boss wondering what he was getting at and once he saw his serious face Trey cleared his throat and answered, “N… no sir”he said nervous and Emiliano took a sip again and raised his glass in the air and shrugged without a care.
“Why not?”Emiliano went on again and by now Trey was scared out of his wits as he breathed deeply wondering why his boss was asking him such questions.
“N… not yet sir”Trey’s voice cracked as he answered and emiliano arched a brow at him and shrugged like a boss he was.
“Why?”
“Because I… I haven’t found a good woman yet sir”Trey was almost in tears because his boss was too serious he wonder if he gave him the answers he wanted and if not then he would get angry.
“In that case I want you to go and buy the worst engagement gift you can find”saying that Emiliano handed Trey the glass and walked away keeping trey in suspense wondering what was going on or what his boss meant and like Emiliano read his mind turned back and said.
“And Trey, buy the nicest tux you can find”and with that the man cheekily left the private lounge leaving Trey soaking in sweat as he pondered over what his boss said and only then did he understand what he was to do.
“Hahaha wow boss is very cunning”trey spoke with so much admiration for Emiliano and followed his boss out knowing full well he had a lot to learn from his boss hence he was going to stick around more often.
