Zion Pov
Birds chirping always sound like music to me every morning because I love the way it is always fresh and calming before the morning sunlight. I picked up the remote and opened the curtain so that I could inhale the morning breeze before the sunlight came out.
I sat up and began doing push ups for a few minutes before I walked into the bathroom to freshen up and go to work. I'm not the type to waste her time so I finished on time and walked out to see my grandma already on the dining table
"Good morning grandma" I greeted her smiling at her
"Good morning grandson" she replies "how was your night?"
"Splendid"
"Good to hear that" she said before pressing the intercom for the maids to begin the serving. We ate quietly through the breakfast which I'm glad because I hardly eat quietly like this with grandma on the table because she has one thing or the other to say. About to take my last bit when she cleared her throat which I know she's about yo say something so I looked up at her waiting for her to talk
"So I was thinking you to the main company to see how things are going" she said
"But I thought till after I get married or if I'm engaged?" I question not believing her
"Well who knows maybe you will die a bachelor but that will be over my dead body" She said which I chuckle
"What will I do there?" I couldn't help but asked
"Go and play you naughty boy. Of course you're going to work and check out the progress of the company and do the needful because I'm not getting younger"
"Okay will go but won't spend much time because I have a meeting today"
"It's alright just make sure you go there. I will inform the board about your coming"
"Not yet grandma am just there to check so let me go unexpected and see what's going around the company"
"Alright then. All the best I need to take a nap my legs are aching me"
"Sorry wife I teased" I said which she smiled
"Get going before you're late" she hushes me out while I kiss her before walking out.
Immediately I entered the car and the driver drove off my phone begins to ring which I sighed before closing the shield between me and the driver knowing fully well who it is and it's its going to be another reminder
The first thing I heard after picking the call and putting it on speaker is "Zion you don't listen to me anymore because of that your wicked grandmother"
"Mom please stop not now again have told you time without number to stop involving grandma in everything and stop calling her names she has nothing to do with this" I said irritated
"I can see she has fed you with lies again but anyway that apart. I just hope you haven't forgotten about what we talked about last?" She asked
"I haven't and if it's because of that you're calling me early this morning then let it because have assured you I will get someone but please refrain from calling me for that same issue again"
"That's left for you in few days if you don't call me back or give me feedback you will see me"
"You won't do that and bye I'm in the office already" I said hanging up roughing my head in frustration I can't just know how my mother is thinking. I comb through my head with my hand before opening the shield
"Sir we are here" the driver said which I nodded and he quickly got down to open the door.
I began to walk inside before I sighted Mike afar waiting for me at the door but immediately he saw me he ambled to my side "Good morning" he greeted me with a smile which I smiled back without uttering a word to him which he didn't bother knowing I'm not in the mood.
I didn't stop anywhere but straight to the board meeting knowing fully well the new product will be released soon which they have to come to a conclusion on. I opened the door and walked in which made all heads turn towards me and they quickly began to stand up but I gestured for them to sit and continue while I walked straight to the chairwoman chair where grandma always sits and asked them to continue with the presentation. I looked around everywhere but couldn't see some manager, director and some other members of the board.
I walked out of the meeting room when the presentation was done without uttering a word. I take the left turn and walked straight to the golf field where I know they will be playing or doing some sort of nonsense and true to my imagination I saw them talking with cups in their hands "I can see your all enjoying yourself" I said which makes all of them to turn to look me
"I didn't know you will be coming the chairwoman never mention to me your coming here today" Mr Kim said
"I can see you need to be informed about everything going on the office the same way your loathing and collecting money from people giving them fake promises of things that won't work out" I said looking at all of them which Mr Kim was about to speak up but I was not there for his bullshit so I speak
"Don't worry enjoy your time while it last because you think we don't know anything your doing in the company just to ruin it worry not you will hear from me soon and less you know the chairwoman knows about everything going on but she just decided to leave you to see how far you will go or if you will amend your ways but I think she's mistaken" I said to him before walking out Mike following suit.
About to go out when I saw the company's front page full with people and umbrellas which I had to stop to ask "what's going on?" I asked Mike thinking he might know
"Let me confirm" he said before walking closer to the people gathered around looking at whatsoever when I set my eyes on her
I couldn't stop looking at her that I didn't know when Mike arrived "Sir" he said which I groaned not knowing when he's going to stop the formalities
"What happened?" I asked
"They are doing some shootings here which I think they got permission from the company before setting up there cameras" Mike said
"Who gave them the permission?" I asked "and shouldn't they have moved a little bit out of the way?"
"Maybe because of they want the name of the company to be visible"
"Whatever tell them to move a little bit away because at some point they might block the entrance because of the people gathering around to watch them display" I said still looking at where I just saw her not long ago but she's not standing there any longer so I walked to the car seeing the driver has already parked the car. Mike joined me after seeing they had adjusted and he asked some of the people to take note so that the entrance won't be blocked and stop people from walking inside.
The driver asked where I should be taken tok which I take my time before answering "home" I said my eyes close but I couldn't just stop seeing her even when I close my eyes
I hissed for an uncountable amount of time before we arrived home when Mike asked me what's wrong and I said nothing.
All my thoughts were how to see her again. Then I shake it off thinking it just because I'm looking for someone to give the proposal of being my fake fiancée which I think will be a perfect match for that role.
"Mike I don't know maybe if you notice a girl while at the scene" I said trying not to show any emotion
"No but why did you ask?" Mike question
"I'm looking for who to propose to so she could be my girlfriend or pretend to be in love with me so I can get free from grandma" I explained
"Oh" he said looking at me
"You know what, just forget about it. I will look for someone else within the week so I could be free from grandma constant complaining and nagging"
"It's simple I can look into her to find out who she is"
"Let it me"
"Then go on one of the blind date who knows you might get someone to propose to"
"Just forget about it. I will look for another way" I said dismissing the topic walking straight to my room to freshen up and check up on some of my mails because I missed an important client today but I hope it's been taking care off by my secretary
Seeing how restless I am, I walked out again to a nearby hotel to cool off.
I sat on the bar and ordered a drink when I felt the need to use the toilet. I walked in and saw a lady in the men's section almost naked which I got tempted and did the unthinkable which she quickly walked out after dressing and that's when I remembered her face and follow her without her noticing until she reached her destination before I parked and hand over my card to her
Scarlet Pov I followed Jackie inside because she's the only one to take me out of this mess right now so I decided to go for the blind date "how much are you paying me?" I asked her going straight to the point she smiled which I wished I could just smash her on the face so the smile will just vanish but I don't think that's a good idea"Well well that's my favorite person talking. Don't worry i'm giving you blank cheque and you will write the amount you want" she said smiling sheepishly which I just pouted "You know I don't want too many people knowing my face. I just hope I shouldn't meet one of the guys have fucked" I blurt out"Ehw can you please not go there? I wonder why you're shameless sometimes?" Jackie question "Well maybe because I'm horny right now because my core is itching for release""Goodnight" Jackie said lying on the bed which I laughed wondering how we became friends because we aren't from the same class. ***I wake up early in the morning before walking out t
Scarlet Pov I walked inside and saw everyone busy with work "I'm home" I announced to no one in particular "How was your first day at work?" Mom asked stopping what's she's doing"Nothing much so yes it was fine" I replied going to the dinning to take some water"That's good to hear" father chip in"I have never for once asked how my delivery was" Abraham complained "is it that I am not noticed in this house or what?" He said glaring at me which I shrug"Well we don't asked because you spend more than anyone so no need" mother deadpan "But" he tried to say "Say another word and trust me you will be grounded throughout the week" mother said seriously which Abraham knows better not to try her because she will make sure his grounded which he doesn't like staying at home"Let's eat" I said to no one in particular. They all sat on the table, Jackie sitting close to me while we ate in silence. Done eating I pack the dishes to the sink before cleaning my hand "have paid Mr Frank money"
Chapter six I quickly entered the car telling the driver where to take me before I dug out for the complimentary card given to me yesterday by him and saw his name "Zion" I said out loud before picking my phone. One ring Jackie picks up "What's up?" She asked "Everything is down right now. What's the name of your date today?" I asked to be sure incase his just his lookalike or replica "Zion" she answered "Shit" I shouted "What happened?" Comes Jackie worried voice "He's the same guy I had a quickie with and followed me. He gave me his Proposal and he's here tonight as your date Jacky. I'm screwed" I yell over the phone "Shit. Double shit" I heard Jackie repeating doing what God knows because I could detect from the phone she's moving around "where the ficking hell is my car key?" She asked "I wouldn't know" "Sorry I'm coming over" she said when I ended the call. I didn't know we have arrived until the driver speaks up "Ma we are here" he said "Sorry" I said, paying h
Scar povJackie walked in shortly with her phone "who was that?" I couldn't help but questioned her seeing how she's behaving"A client" she replied not looking at me which only means she's lying to me but decided to let it be since I'm tired. I adjusted the duvet "Off the light when you're done" I said, covering my eyes with an eye mask since I can't sleep with the light on.**I woke up late because I turned off the alarm, seeing it was disturbing my sleep. "Jackie you need to wake-up if you don't want to be late for work" I said tapping her but the dummy head wouldn't wake up so I had to drag her down "Stop that Scar" she said trying to pushed me with her legs"Get up or you will be late and I know you wouldn't like your cousin to take your place in the office" I sing a song while she sprint to the toilet which I sigh in relief seeing that did the trick. I guess she doesn't want someone else to take the company under her nose so she always try her best to be punctual and active
Zion's POVDressed up ready to leave but Jackie is yet to call so I check myself out once again. I can't really say why I'm doing this because I'm never the type that insisted on thing but ever since I set my eyes on her I couldn't forget about her then our quicky sex in the toilet which I was surprised what made me to do that when I'm the type that's always cautious but everything about her is just I don't really know what to say. My phone rings and I pick it immediately "hello" I said "Hy come quickly before she notice my antics" Jackie whispered which I know she's not close to her friend I quickly walk down the stairs but was greeted with my grandma "Where are you rushing to?" She asked"I have an appointment" I reply about to leave"Have you ever heard of such an appointment before?""Grandma please" I said "see you when I come back" I hurriedly walked out before she could say another word. I didn't bothered to asked the driver to drive because i want to go aloneI arrived in no
Scar povI didn't know what actually came over so I ran out of the car because I know what I did is embarrassing enough. Immediately I'm at the door I composed myself before walking in there I saw the devil in disguise I called my best friend behind my mom hiding "Jackie" I said smiling so it won't seem as if I'm mad at her"You're back?" She asked "Yes I am" I replied "and you know we have some unfinished business right?" I asked "I don't think so and as you can see I'm giving mother a little help here" she said hugging my mother from the back"Don't mind her daughter you know Scar doesn't help around rather lazing around her room that's why I'm always to see you around. I wished you live here with us" mother praised jackie which I know if I make any drastic mistake she will beat the daylight out of me"Oh my sweet mother" I said "you know you're the one that always asked me to take care of my body and to sleep very well so my skin will be smooth and good" I sweet talked her"I kno
Zion's POVI didn't bother to inform anyone about the Scar coming because I know she will and I will be the one to take the final decision so I went home and have a lovely night rest I dressed up earlier than usual so I could see everything from when she set her feet in the company "Goodmorning grandma" I greeted her I just don't know why she wakes up early every day "How was your night?" She asked "Splendid. I'm going to the office" I said about to leave"Good but I think you should just handover your own company to Mike to handle it so you can focus on one or what did you think?" She suggested "That's not a problem but I was planning to give it to mother" I said before I could think"What?" Grandma shouted"That not what I meant just for the time being since she's good I think she could be of helping hand" I said"I don't agree with that and I don't want to see her anywhere near that company it might be yours but I know what she's capable off""Grandma please I have to be early
Scar povEverything is going at a speed rate which I wished it continued like so that I could get scit free from the devil himself because I don't think I can remain sane if he continues kissing or touching me any opportunity he get it might lead to something else and I don't think I'm interested in any kind of relationship now Nit after the one that have failed before and I'm regretting it each passing day because that relationship is the only thing that makes me the way I am now but I don't blame anyone rather I blame my fragile heart and innocent mind.I shake it off and entered inside after I make sure my breathe is even "hey mom I said giving her a hug don't wonder too much I love my mom is just that we tend to have alot of misunderstanding that's all "Welcome dear. How was the interview?" She asked dropping the bowl in her hand "It was fine and I hope I get the job" I prayed "You will my dear let's be hopeful" she said "I will be the most happiest atleast you don't have to ac
