Chapter 4

WYNE'S POV

The week rolled to an end with endless works, meetings and thoughts of her.. Checking if she really came to join bugged me daily.. But being the CEO I couldn't ask my secretary everyday for her.. I would look so desperate,

The nerve on my jaw pulsed while boring hole on the wall clock that indicates 7:05pm of Saturday.. Sunday is weekend and Monday starts the next week.. Her deadline ended 5 minutes ago.. My eyes traced the stick of second that ticked off second by second and becoming a minute..

I guess I took her too lightly and thought she will crawl back here after thinking.. I was too loose to take in the insults and made her think that it's easy to mess with me!

No.. I am Wyne Moretti! I want her under me and hell is what she's gonna see.. That attitude of her? Mesmerizing yet it's getting on nerves.. Just get into my grasp once darling.. Just Once!

A knock was heard and it got open with my small 'come in'..

It was Andrew who stood in front of me..

"Mr Moretti.. Ms Davenport didn't join today per your deadline.. "

B@stard.. As if I don't know? Bet he feels peace talking on this topic..

"Family? "

He nodded.. Of course I dig into people's background of people I associate with.. Nobody takes risk these days..

"Madelyn Davenport, Youngest of 5..Giovanni and Diago Davenport, the oldest twin, Giovanni is a resident doctor and Diago is a lawyer.. As for Marlin And Sandro Davenport, Marlin is a lawyer too and Sandro following Giovanni's step.."

I frowned because in a family full of doctors and lawyers, she chose business? it's like one blue m&m in a jar of yellow ones..

But my curiosity was fed when he continued further..

"Her father , Xander Davenport and mother, Natasha Davenport used to run a family business to cut out of poverty.. They pulled the business for crumble to peak but later passed it to his brother after the older twins settled in jobs.. "

Oh so business actually runs in blood..

"But I don't think Mr Davenport likes business.. And also the fact that he is displeased with the fact that Ms Davenport is going for business.. "

That's some inside shit.. My eyes narrowed at him.. This fucker has good hands in taking out information..

"I am just rooted to my job.. "

'That's the only reason you're yet not fired! '

"Let's meet the father if not the daughter.. "

Andrew nodded and spoke with a pause..

"Talking with Giovanni Davenport would be better.. He just has some control on the household.. "

Again some inside shit to know.. Doesn't matter as long as I get my work done..

"Giovanni Davenport is it.. "

I frowned as the name sounded familiar to me but I couldn't grasp it yet.. It's like I heard the name somewhere...

"This Giovanni.. "

Andrew put the tab in front of me and I smirked seeing the who it really was..

"Well well well... Let's meet soon old friend.. "

MADELYN'S POV

It was already 12 in the noon and rats went on marathon inside my stomach... Skipping breakfast didn't really helped me..

Forget rat, I was the one speed walking to the cafeteria for food..

"MADDY!! "

My steps haulted and I looked behind to find one of my classmates panting..

"Conference room... Dean... Chairman.. Go... "

I nodded and contempted wherether I should distinguish hunger or go to the conference room.. Well the final year is risky to piss of the chairman.. not like I won't get chance to eat again..

Signing, I walked to the conference room.. The room was already silent when I entered.. I knew the new Dean who is one of the good and cool professors that I'm in good term with.. But the man who sat on the chair was surely the chairman as I'm not familiar with him...

He was old and the look he gave me? I felt nervous because what if his grandson bitched about me badmouthing him..

Oh shoot!! That Fucking Deadline!! With the pressure for finals and my secret project, I forgot the crumbled letter at the bottom of my bag... was he here for that?!

'Guess rejection wasn't the best idea.. '

The dean exited the room with one look of the chairman (soon to be ex).. His support stick was placed between his legs with his hands on the handle..

"Madelyn Davenport? "

"Yes Sir.. It is a pleasure to meet you.. "

His eyes narrowed as if he could see through me and tell that I was not even one percent pleasured, yet presured..

"Cut the formalities and fake ness and throw them out of the door young lady.. I'm here for some real talk.. "

'If it's my termination, I'll jump out.. '

"Sit Young lady.. "

I sat down cause I just can't take risk..

"So you really didn't join my company? -"

he paused and a approved nod followed..

"-I'm impressed.. but I'm here to offer again. "

'So arrogance runs in blood? '

He looked at me and spoke..

"Yes it does.. That's what makes us The Moretti's... "

Fuck...

My eyes widened as I realized that I spoke out the thought loudly..

"Here's the deal lady.. Join the company and I keep the little secret of yours with myself.. "

This time my eyes narrowed at him.. If he is talking about that thing then...

"What secret are you talking about? "

His sneered..

"The one you've been hiding for so long.. Even from your father.. "

I sighed.. So he knows already?

"Don't you think that's a major risk for your company? What if I tell you that getting me in is equal to keeping chickens to a fox? "

I leaned back and looked at him in the eyes, gaining sudden confidence..

What dangerous was not that he could expose that little(Or massive) secret of mine or he could terminate me in the last minute but it was the fact that it's our mindset that matched..

The corner of his mouth twitched up..

"Young lady.. I played this game thousands of times.. "

"And I mustered it at once. "

A shadow passed his face..

"Honestly.. I don't think you'll ever come here for only this.. Knowing the fact that I'm a threat, you wouldn't dare.. right? "

My hands played with the paper weight on the table..

Silence...

"Right.. I wouldn't! But I'm not here for only this.. I've a way more interesting thing that made me come here.. "

A mischief smile danced on his face but it was shut down quickly..

"What is it? "

He opened his mouth but closed it again..

"You'll know.. " paused and smiled. "when time comes.. "

With that he stood up..

"It was really nice to meet you.. "

The sarcasm didn't go unnoticed by me..

He walked towards the door and stopped before turning around slightly..

"Isn't your grandfather.... Nicholas Davenport? "
