Chapter 4 ------------------------

Alex pov:-

At the meeting with the damsel in distress," I mean the owner of Asian Corporation." Mathew Hale, my patience is running out. I couldn't quite believe the guts of this man. This man is still bargaining on the price of the bankrupt company. He calls himself the owner off.

He should be happy that I am even bothering to give him the price I was paying. It's better than ever. If I take over, I will be at high risk of loss. I was taking the burden off his shoulder! But the greedy human wanted to get more money out of my pocket.

Has anyone ever told him that is am not as generous as my father? I don't think he realizes that he is dealing with Alexender William and not my Father Victor William!

"Mr. Mathew, I think the price is good enough for your company. You should better know that I am the only one who is willing to risk 12 million dollars on your already bankrupt organization.' I stated firmly.

This meeting has gone far too long, and honestly, I am not even in the mood to bother with this greedy dog anymore. I need to pull my last card here.

So, I closed my pen, tucked it into my coat pocket, and pushed away from the contract, making it look like I was no longer interested.

'If that's not enough for you, then I will leave this. It was nice talking to you. My secretary will escort you to the door. Thanks for coming; however, I am not sure we will agree on anything. With that being said, I stood up from the seat and made my way to the exit doors.

"No, no, no, Mr. William, I was not saying that the price is not good; it's just that I would have been grateful to you if you pay a little more it will help my debt clearing.' He stuttered as he rubbed his hands together. My eyes narrowed as I came to a halt.

"Mr. Mathew, I would like to remind you that I am not here to clear your pending debt. If you want to get the deal done, let my assistant know about it. I will sign the paper for the merger,' I said, turning around giving him and his team my very last look. 

"Now, I think that will be all for today. Have a nice day, gentleman's.' 

I walked out of my conference room, making my way to my private elevator. Pressing the button to the ground floor, I waited. When the door opened, I walked out of my office building. Standing in front of the door was my driver Carlos waiting for me in my car.

'Carlos, you can go home, I want to drive myself tonight.' I said, dismissing him. 

He gave me a slight nod and asked, 'Long day master William?'

"No, Carlos just want to drive around,' I replied with a weary sigh, 'Too much on my head today, and I also have to go to meet my parents for dinner tonight.' 

"Yes, Master William, I wish you good luck then.' He laughed, all too aware of my mother's tendency towards matchmaking and the experience I had the last time due to it. 

With one final chuckle, he handed me the keys and walked off, giving me a thumb up.

I rolled my eyes: he knows me too well to know that I don't want to go to this dinner, this man. He has been with me since I was a boy of 15 years. My dad hired him for me. Let's say I was not very happy that day. He was an unknown man who was always around. 

Carlos was not just my driver but my bodyguard as well. I have to have one. He is a retired military agent who has served my family for over 13 years. Taking off my jacket, I threw it in the back seat. 

I got into my car, making my way for a long night with my mom and dad for dinner. I want to change into something more comfortable, but I don't have time for that right now.

 I still have so many clothes left in my parents' house in my room just for an occasion like this. So, I will change once I reach there.

I was driving from London's busy streets. I stopped at one red light; looking out, I saw some girls making their way to the club at the end of the road. I tried to look away, but my eyes got set on one brunette.

"She didn't look like someone I would call beautiful, but somehow she caught my interest. Being a man, I know when a girl looks good. with her black dress clinging to her like a second skin, she looked edible" She was talking to her blond friend laughing at something that I don't know. Her smile changed her whole face making it shine a little more, and somehow her carefree laugh put a smile on my face.

I stopped my train of thought; when loud honking brought me out of my dreamy haze, I hadn't realized that the light had turned green, amongst the dirty looks other drivers were giving me. I Shrugged them all and accelerated my car, turning up some music shaking all my previous thoughts out. The only idea stuck in my brain was that girl in a black dress. I feel a weird kind of shiver run through my body. 

I need to get laid or something to get my mind focused. My body needs some much-needed workout. What can I say a need is a need. 

I sighed, trying to get myself to focus. I want this night and this dinner to be over already. I am way too distracted to go on a family dinner.
