Xavier’s point of view.
I woke up the next morning with a panda eyes from lack of sleep, I fell asleep late into the night so I didn’t get much sleep and I need to be at the company early, if I skip it, my secretary will definitely have my neck this time around and I need to be there because of the main board meeting today.
I took my bath and a coffee to wake me up better, when I got to the dinning, I saw grandfather laughing heartily with Jessica, (that little witch),
“Good morning Xavier ”
Her chirpy voice made me grimace about lat night, who knows what she has up her sleeves, I ignored her and took a seat,
“Xavier, your wife is greeting you ”
“Good morning to you too Jess ”
“So how was your night dear”
“It was fantastic dear wife”
“Glad to hear you say that”
“Okay, that’s it, are you two quarrelling, Xavier what did you do?”
Typical grandfather to side with Jessica, though this time around she was at fault,
“Grandfather, we are not quarrelling ”
“Is that true Jessica, did Xavier offend you?”
“No father, we are good, aren’t we Xavier?”
Women, okay, I gave her an applause on that fabulous acting, makes me wonder what she is doing in a reporter’s office, I wonder how Collins was able to break her heart,
“Yes, we are good grandfather, we are about to leave for work now, right Jess ”
Knowing how much she loves food, I decided to get back at her by leaving early for work before she finishes her food.
“No, you can go , I will drive to work myself ”
“Why would you do that, you will make grand father believe we are quarrelling ”
She glared daggers at me, I smirked at her,
“Grandfather wouldn’t think like that ”
“We have been driving together to work everyday so why stop now”
“Okay, fine, let’s go”
She tried grabbing a sandwich but I held her hand and dragged her outside,
“What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“No , you , what’s is wrong with you?”
“Why would you ask me such stupid question ”
“Of course I should, I know you are angry with me but last night was a little childish, don’t you think”
“I don’t know what you are talking about ”
“You don’t know what am talking about, the loud music last night was what?”
“Hmph, I just wanted to listen to music ”
“Really, with a sound muffler ? What the use? You might as well just place it over my own ear”
“And so, yes I was angry, but what can I do, not like I can vent my anger in you by making you be suspended at work, you are rich am not, so nothing I do to you will affect you so allow me throw my anger my own way, you got your revenge by making me skip breakfast but know that it just added to my anger”
“Okay, am sorry”
“I don’t care, am driving my own car , take yours”
“Nay ah, not happening, we are going together ”
And before she could say something else, I carried her like a potato sack into my car and forced the seatbelt on her, closed the door and entered the driver’s seat and drove off, after venting for a while, she kept quiet.
I arrived at the company and opened the door for her with a grin on my face,
She got out and slapped me, I anticipated that,
“Don’t ever carry me like that ever again, asshole”
“Okay, be ready, am taking you home too or grandfather will get suspicious ”
“Fuck you!!”
I laughed and get into my car (well, that went well), I went to work to see my angry secretary standing at my elevator entrance,
“Good morning pal”
“Good morning Mr Xavier ”
“Mr Xavier?”
“The board members are already here so hurry up”
“Sorry for coming late, home problems, now let’s go see the boards.”
JESSICA’S point of view
“That fucking asshole, how dare he carry me like a sack of potatoes into his goddamned car”
I stomped angrily as I went into my office, my assistant came to me and after exchanging pleasantries we get to work,
“So about your husband’s parents accident, you asked me to look into who was the one in charge”
“Yes, I did, and did you find out?”
“Yes, it was Miss Natalie Drew, she cooperated with the police and she was gave the scoop before it was confirmed ”
“Didn’t she get a penalty for that, she should have been investigated since she gave the news before the police confirmed it”
“Well she wasn’t actually that warned the promotion she had as a stepping stone to her previous position before she left”
“Okay, so we will start from her, can you please inform our personal detective to investigate it”
“Okay, but Ma, why are we bringing the case up again??”
“Because it seems like the case wasn’t entirely an accident ”
“You mean…. They have been murdered ”
“So it seems but this should be between us two, if I hear it anywhere else I hold you responsible ”
“Okay Ma, I understand, let me get to it now”
Once he left, I called my hacker Blac,
“Hello miss Jessica, sorry, Mrs Jessica ”
“No need, so?”
“You are right, it’s someone that you and your husband knows really well”
“Who could that be? Because I can’t remember knowing anyone my stupid husband knows ”
“It’s possible because you are still newly married but I thought you two dated”
“Don’t worry yourself about the details so who is it?”
“You are not going to like it though ”
“Okay, I said no problem, who is it?”
“It’s the CEO of Universe”
“You mean Mr Marcus”
“You mean him?”
“Yes him, he is the one contacting you, am surprised when I found out, this type of thing is usually left for the underlings to take care of, he must not have trusted his men to do it himself ”
“Haa, this is getting interesting”
