Chapter 2

INTIMACY

(You are fired)

      Charlie's POV

"Billy!!" I shrieked as I got closer to the kitchen and he rushed out.

"Who are they? Who are those bitchês gossiping about me to my daughter!?" I questioned in extreme anger.

"Sir..sir..we..I don't know," came his reply.

I grabbed him by his collar and pulled him closer to me.

His gaze remained on the floor as I did that.

"You don't know? Then, YOU ARE FIRED!!" I groaned at him and he trembled.

"Si.r..sir please, I've been working for you since I was a boy, please don't do this, I promise to fish all of them out," he cried out as I turned to leave.

 I paused and turned to look at him. Everything in him seems to be pleading.

"Before I show up tomorrow. There won't be any second chance," I said to him before I proceeded up to meet my daughter.

"Dad, what was that? I didn't ask you to yell at poor Billy, he is my friend," her tiny voice came out.

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry," I apologized and carried her up in my arms then left the balcony headed towards her room. 

"Please stop listening to whatever anyone says, always believe in me and you'll be fine alright," I told her and she nodded her head then placed it on my chest still holding tightly onto her teddy.

I got to her room and dropped her.

"Where are your nannies?" I inquired.

"Well, I sent them away, I don't need them," she answered.

"You sent them away? Why did you do that?" I asked.

"I can take care of myself, dad, you gat to stop treating me like a baby," she said cheekily which made me smile.

"Ria, I've got somewhere to be once its 7:00pm, so before then, I want you to narrate everything that happened at school to me," I requested and she smiled then adjusted properly where I kept her.

"Its the usual dad, I have a lot of friends, they all like you dad, one of my friends, Beatrice said her big sister loves you with all her heart," she narrated describing the heart with her tiny hands which made me laugh.

"What? I'm serious dad, its doesn't end there, even....."

6:45pm.

I dressed up handsomely after making sure little Ria was already sleeping.

I grabbed my two phones which were on the dressing table and headed out.

I was descending down the stairs when one of my phones started ringing and I picked it up after I seeing who was on the line. 

"Hello mom."

"Hi son, when are you coming over to see us? Its been ages," she started ranting almost immediately.

"Mom, I thought we last saw each other two days ago, I don't understand where the ages seems to be coming out from."

"Come on, Charlie, that's why we need to stay under the same roof, I want to see my son everyday and not only on TV."

"Alright, I'll find time to come over with Ria tomorrow, she said she misses you guys too."

"Okay that's good, let me start preparing to welcome you guys, extend my greetings to her."

"Yeah mom, gat to go."

Then the line went off.

I fixed the phone into my trouser pocket before getting outside to see Mike relaxing on one of my favorite cars.

My Lamborghini.

"Mike!! Are you nuts? Have you seriously lost it upstairs? Get away from my baby," I screamed at him then immediately ran and dragged him out from the car.

"Never you relax on it and by the way, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be somewhere else?" I asked.

"Well, I was waiting for you," he replied with an annoyed look.

As if I care anyways.

Mike and I are actually age mate, tho he is a year older than I am, I consider him my age mate. 

"Why? You are done with work for today, what are you waiting for?" I questioned fixing my hands on my waist.

"Well...just wanted to make sure you get to land mall without getting caught by secret cameras," he responded.

"When did you start worrying about that?"

"Just now, I am your manager and should be concerned about your image..."

He was still talking when I left him and got into one of the sport cars there.

"I don't want guards or any driver or even anyone, I'll get there by myself," I announced to the guards who were about getting into another car to follow me from behind.

"Um..CB, I don't think that's possible,you see your father..."

"Have I made myself clear?" I cut the head guard that was about protesting in and he gave Mike an eye before agreeing.

"Ye..yes," he responded, I immediately kick started the engines, drove out of my private mansion. 

I was dressed in a way I will be hardly recognized with a turtle neck cloth that covered my neck up to my nose region, then a black face cap to join.

I was still driving on the road when I noticed a car behind me.

This fücking guards won't ever listen to me. I knew they will follow me secretly.

They just never listen at all. Its high time I fire them all but I understand why they are like that, its because of my father's orders, they were ordered never to leave my side. 

I sighed deeply then increased the speed of the car because it was already past 7pm.

I got to the hotel and then got down.

One of my father's numerous hotels actually.

The receptionist recognized me and immediately handed me a key without questions.

I bet Mike had already booked the room if not she couldn't have just handed a key to me.

I got to the room number, the number written on the key and made to unlock the room but found out it was already unlocked.

Hmm.

I pushed open the door gently and then got in to see her there.

"Prince charming," she called seductively and immediately ran to me and embraced me.

"Vivian right?" I asked pulling her away from my body.

"Yes CB," she replied winking.

"How..."

"Oh that? Well I explained things to the receptionist. I wanted to surprise you and I can see that you're really surprised, come, I prepared something for you," she cut me off and said.

Then she cajoled me to a mini set table there, in which a bottle of wine and two glasses were on top.

She made me sit on the bed there, then she opened the drinks, decanted it into two different glasses before offering one to me which I collected then took a sip from.

"How is it CB?" She inquired licking her red blooded lips seductively.

"Its okay." I answered then dropped the cup.

"You ready?" I asked taking off my shirt.

"Always ready for you, anytime, any day,"she responded then took off the linger she was putting on, leaving herself stark naked in front of me.
