Damon

I knew my plan will work. No one can resist my charm. I was surprised at how calm I was. Someone will think I hold no grudge against her. She thinks she can humiliate me and get away with it. I can forgive her for what she did in Germany. There were no prying eyes. But the slap, how embarrassed I felt, I don't think I will let it go by. Which is why I came with a plan using the new business deal as a weapon. I will use that to earn her trust. To make her trust me. After I've earned her trust completely, then I will use that to humiliate her.

Just that thought pump my adrenaline with excitement. I put off the oven and took out the freshly bread. Somehow, I woke up with cravings of homemade bread. I don't fancy eating that much but when I have a craving, I do it myself. I learned cooking for a while now. When I was 10. I used to help my mother in the kitchen. Even though she doesn't like the idea of me touching her things. Saying I might spoil them. My mother takes cooking very serious. She enjoys cooking which is why she opened up a restaurant.

Whereas father only want me to focus on studying. I started learning about his business when I was barely 20. My life revolves around studying business. I used the free time around to spend time in the outside world. The freedom I didn't get when I was still young. They take my mind off things. I don't know whether I will be able to control that.

I made a coffee and walk my way to the dining. The TV was on with news from other part of the world. I remembered how I came up with the business plan. I was going through some reviews under SkyRocks company. Somehow, I've been thinking about them. Merging it with our company will be beneficial not to only them to us also. I wouldn't deny the fact that Hazel is quite smart and has a thing for brainstorming. Although I don't know her that much but she look like someone who is trustworthy. However, that wouldn't change the fact that she humiliated me.

My father thinks I don't have the capability. Comparing me with someone that is new to the business. I want to show him what I'm capable of. I want to give this deal my all. To show him the best result that has never been achieved in the company. With the help of Hazel. And on the other hand, will get my revenge. That's killing two birds with one stone. I omit out a small smile and proceed to eat my food.

I like how quite and peaceful my house is. Free from mother's nagging about what to do with my life and my father never ending conversation about his company. I like it that way.

I have gotten the feedback I needed from Hazel. Which means she beginning to trust me. I can't wait for Monday to display my acts. The corner of my lips curved up at the thought of seeing her crying face begging me for her life. Great Damon.

The sound of the doorbell snapped me out of the short reverie I ventured into. “Hey baby” She planted a kiss on my cheeks and walk her way inside.

It seem I need to make myself clear today. Her service is no longer needed. I don't do second round with the same woman. Just because we did it twice she thinks it'll go on like that. She swayed her hips in a seductive way that got my inside twitch. “You’r eating bread as lunch?” She said eyeing my plate in a bad manner.

“What are you doing here Nicole” I uttered as calmly as I could muster. She marched up to me wrapping her arms around my neck. “I’m here to make you feel better. You know, you always satisfy me” The way she ran her thumb over my face isn't helping matter.

My desire is burning in me. Yet, I don't want to give her the privilege of coming again. On the other hand, the need in me keeps growing. After this, I will make everything clear to her. “You-”

Before she could complete her statement, I crashed my lips on hers. To hell with that, I would be able to get relieved. And Nicole knows how to push my button with satisfaction. I kissed her hungrily. My hands going all over her body discarding the dress from her body. I carried her up to my bedroom. She went on and unbutton my shirt revealing my bare body. We were still kissing when she pulled us to the bed. I tossed out her bra coming in view her naked body. “I will make you scream my name baby” I said hoarsely.

She shifted underneath me. Her feminine part was ready for me. To ride on her. “I got you baby” She hushed out seductively. And I closed the remaining gap between us.

Nicole left after we're done having a heated time. I must say the girl have her way in bed. Even though I was the one with the control. But she made me feel better. I grabbed my keys and sauntered out of the house. I headed to the convenience store. From the report, the store isn't performing well like before. So I want to check and see what was the problem. The convenience store earned us a highest profit among the rest last year. I wonder what's down grading it this time around.

We exchanged greetings with the manager there and I began walking through the shelves. A canned drink caught my eyes. I'm running out of them. If I'm not mistaken I have less than three cans in my refrigerator. I shifted forward towards the woman that was also reaching for it. As I grabbed one, the lady turned around. I stared at her in surprise. Hazel.

The surprise look was also plastered on her face. I bet she didn't expect to see me too. “Fancy seeing you here Miss Dalen” I said with a small smile.

“Same. What are you doing here?” She asked. I bet she doesn't know where she is.

“I’m here to inspect how things are moving here” I answered stuffing my hands inside my pocket. She stared at me like I said something unpleasant.

“Have you forgotten which convenience store you are in?”

She turned and glance around the surrounding. I wanted to chuckle at her action. She didn't even know where she is. see. “It skipped my mind for a while. You can go on with your inspection” She passed me the canned drink.

An idea popped up in my head. “Do you need anything?” She asked.

“I was wondering if you could do the inspection with me. But that's if you're okay with it”

She looked as confused than before. She didn't get to answer me when someone interrupteds. “Hazel, I-" Her words came to a halt. "Is this not Damon Lorenzo?" Her eyes widened on me like I was some sort of possession. I didn't try to hide my smile. Great.

“Sofia” She said holding the girl by her wrist. “Nice meeting you Mr. Damon. I'm Hazel’s friend” I was surprised at her boldness. My eyes shifted to Hazel back to her friend outstretched hands. A smile was playing at her lips.

“Nice meeting you too. I'm Damon Lorenzo” I shook her hand.

“Yeah I know. I heard a lot about you from Hazel”

“Sofia!”

“Is that so?” My lips curved up into a smirk. So she did tell people about me. Nice. A good way to play the cards.

“So, Miss Dalen, are we doing the inspection?” I don't know whether she'd agree judging by how embarrassed she was. Yes, I could tell by the way she was passing glares at her friend.

“Okay. Let's do that”

Great Damon. You played the cards quite well. We did the inspection and discuss with the manager. I gave him two days to give me a reasonable report. Something is wrong somewhere. I don't care how he'd do that. I don't want things going wrong.

Hazel and her friend went ahead to the counter to pay for their bills. “Here” I passed the card to the young girl.

“No. We’re fine. We'll pay” She said pulling out her card.

“I insist Miss Dalen. I know your friend wouldn't mind. Right?” She shared a look with Hazel before letting out a smile. “As per a staff at the company I'm giving you the privilege of that”

“Yes. We don't mind”

The look on her face tells me otherwise. I know she's thinking about what transpired between us back in Germany. Well, my anger took the best of me. Although we're not on good terms with her, but she doesn't look like a gold digger.

“Thank you. We'll take our leave” She said in a low voice sparing me a small glance.

“You’re welcome. Do have a great weekend” I watched as they left through the door. The smile that was once on my face surfaces. I'm getting there. Few more plans and everything will fall into place.
