What Diana didn't know was that Ryan was the billionaire genius behind Global Tech company. Despite his young age of 26, Ryan has accomplished so many accolades due to his knowledge and intelligence that many reporters claimed to me unmatched. Ryan was born in a family where he was the only child and found himself on the lower side of the society because his parents were poor. His parents decided not to have another child so that they could be able to at least afford taking care of him and meeting their needs at home. At a young age, Ryan was seen to be learning so much in a short time, something which made his parents hopeful that he would be able to use his brains in life and make the best out of life. By the age of nineteen, he had finished his high school in one of the low class schools in the neighborhood. He managed to get the highest score in the whole state, something that attracted someone into sponsoring him and taking him to one of the most prestigious universities in the world where he managed to graduate with a degree in economics and also law, both of which he studied at the same time and still managed to get first class honors. During his time in the university, Ryan started a small organization that dealt in various sectors, one of them being the stock market. At the age of 22,most of the world's stock market had slumped reducing the value of so many shares. It was then that Ryan used his intelligence and formulated the possible trend in the stock market. He later took one of the biggest risks in his life when he gathered up all of his savings and some loans he took from a few banks which amounted to nearly ten thousand dollars and waited for the right time to buy the shares. He used his projections to buy them just about two weeks before his proposed date when he had predicted the stock market would be revived and the shares would have cost more than a hundred times their current value. It took exactly three weeks for the stock market to start coming back to life and it was at this moment when Ryan's shares grew in profit, more than he had even predicted. He used this money and invested in different places but specialized on growing his company into a tech giant in the market. By now, he had met Christian, his now best friend who had also taken the same risk as Ryan but decided to venture into the cosmetics business, something which proved to be quite marketable as well. They helped each other and their companies grew into multi billion companies before they even graduated from the University. Despite their immense wealth, they both decided to live simple lives trying their best not to attract so much attention. By the time of their graduation, their companies had branches worldwide and their identities were still kept on the low with most of the work in their companies being done by their trusted personal assistants. Ryan had chosen to come to Georgia since he wanted to go somewhere where he wasn't known that much and that's why he established one of the main branches of Global Tech in Georgia. Ryan walked back into the building just as anyone else would do and schedule an appointment with the personal assistant.This was one of the ways that both Ryan and Christian kept a low profile and checked in their offices once in a while.
He had a lot on his mind and one of them was Diana, whom he had shared a booth when out to get his coffee. He admitted to himself that she was really beautiful but the moment he saw her show no interest and not impressed when he paid for their coffee, he knew where to draw the boundary. To him, paying for the coffee wasn't a way of trying to impress her, rather it was just a way of showing his gratitude. He anxiously waited for his personal assistant to come down from whatever he was doing and pretend to pick him up for the appointment with one of the senior members of the company. He tapped his fingertips on the glass table while thinking about how he had risen to such great power and not a lot of people knew who he really was. He even gave it a thought about how the two receptionists at the desk would react if they knew that their boss was just standing in front of them waiting his turn like a normal client. He admired the decor and interior designing that had been done in the building. The building, was a skyscraper which went to the thirtieth floor and had a roof with a helipad on it. In the whole company, the only people who knew who he really was were his personal assistant, his executive committee which made decisions on his behalf but only implemented them with his approval, and a lady he appointed as his acting CEO and founder who would represent him during the company's functions and meetings with the staff.
After waiting for around five minutes his personal assistant, Rodriguez Delacruz finally came. He walked quickly to where he was and walked to him heading for the elevator.
"Took you long enough" Ryan said
"I'm sorry about that sir, we were just finishing up a meeting with the marketing department with the help of Olivia" Rodriguez said. Olivia was the lady that acted as the CEO and founder of Global Tech
" And what has been the end game of that meeting?" Ryan asked
" It has been agreed upon that we should hire at least ten more workers in that department to really sell our agenda to the people of Georgia. With this done, we are looking at a possibility of net profit growth of around 200% within the next two months. Nearly three times more than we had originally planned for." Rodriguez answered him as they walked into the elevator
"Well then, make sure that you and Olivia see that through" Ryan told him
When Ryan walked into his office, he saw Olivia by the desk going through some files before she noticed his presence."It's good to see you" he said to make his presence known to her to which she raised her head and gave him a warm smile"You're back, I've been wondering where you had disappeared off to since you weren't at your house this morning" Olivia told him"You went by my house?" Ryan asked a bit surprised" Yes, I wanted to check in on you. But the butler simply told me that he hadn't seen you since yesterday" Olivia answered" Ooh yes, I decided to spend the night at one of the hotels in town. Sometimes being alone in that big house gets the better part of me and I feel so lonely " Ryan said" But you have some staff around, how could you feel lonely? " She asked" There's a difference of having people and having staff around. No matter how much you try to make them comfortable or have a conversation with them, they still fear me as their boss. It's a relief that they don't
Meanwhile, back at home Diana was waiting for Mitchel to come from the shower so that she could tell her that she wouldn't be willing to quit her job just for the sake of getting into Global Tech. When Mitchell came out of the shower, she looked at Diana with troublesome eyes"Where did you disappear off to?" Mitchell asked" I just wanted to have some coffee and escape your devious plan " Diana answered" No matter what you say, you know that I'll still push you towards that job opening. If I were qualified, I wouldn't even have asked you but I'm also looking out for you. What if you get the job and I don't get Mr billionaire? It's still a win win. Have you seen the salary there offering here? My goodness " Mitchell exclaimed" I'm good where I am, the pay is good and I've adjusted to that working environment quite well"Diana defended himself" But you won't be able to make as much as they're offering here. Will you please just agree to send in your CV? If they don't give you any fee
While they were back in the apartment Mitchell kept eyeing Diana mischievously as they were preparing dinner"Can you quit looking at me like that?" She asked Mitchell" Like what? I'm not looking at you in any way" Michelle defended herself as she nudged Diana using her butt."I know what your doing and before you even start making it a fuss, the answer is either I don't know, don't want to know or no" Diana told her"You haven't even heard what I was about to say" Mitchell said with a sigh. She then looked at Diana with puppy dog eyes to get some sympathy. In addition to this , she puffed her lips and tried to make herself look as sad as possible. Just like when a baby is about to throw a tantrum after being denied something"That's not going to work on me and you should probably check on your noodles" Diana said as she noticed that the food was about to spill over from boiling making Mitchell react fast by turning off the burner."Close call," Mitchell said, "these noodles look goo
After a few minutes Ryan was at their doorstep with a bottle of expensive wine in hand. Mitchell was the one who opened the door for him as Diana was serving food for him. At the doorstep, Mitchell made sure to be loud enough for Diana to heard her "Hey handsome, that was fast" she said"Well, I was still around the neighborhood getting ready to head home and stuff like that. But since Diana invited me here, I thought it wouldn't be bad if I accepted the invitation" Ryan said as he handed her the glass of wine."My oh my. Boy you got taste. Where did you get this fine glass?" Mitchell asked as she walked him into the small dinning room."I just dropped by a liquor store and asked for one of their finest and vintage wine." Ryan responded as Diana welcomed him into the room with a hug. Despite it being evening, she noticed that his cologne was still strong and he still smelled fresh like he was straight from the shower. A bonus to her. He was still wearing the black suit which lacked t
And that's how I just got her to ask me to stay the night. So I gladly took on this offer and told her that it wouldn't be a problem. I could feel my intrusive thoughts start lurking around about all the things that we could do but since I wasn't aiming for that, I just pushed them aside. I leaned back into the couch and her movement on the couch made me turn to her to see what she was up to. To my surprise, she got up with the small blanket in hand and snuggled up next to me such that she leaned on my chest and her face was next to mine. With every passing second she snuggled closer and closer as if she wasn't comfortable enough. It was when I stretched out my arm for her to come closer and wrapped it around her when I saw that she was much more comfortable. I could feel her steady breathing on my chest as we watched another movie. No matter how much I tried to concentrate on the movie, I could feel her gaze shift from the movie to me a couple of times. She did this in a way that sug
Things were good for the next few days. I was talking to Diana on a daily basis and to be honest I couldn't tell if she wanted to just hook up or if she wanted more. At this point in my life, I wasn't really into getting into a relationship since my past had enough scars that humbled me. I know you must be thinking how can a billionaire have everything and still lack the love of a woman who is expected to stand by his side and make the perfect couple. The answer is simple, the same way a famous movie quote said, 'with great power comes great responsibility ' I also have a saying that goes well with my situation, 'with a lot of money comes a lot of responsibilities'. Funny, right? But that's the truth. The moment you find yourself in a position that's higher than everyone else either in terms of wealth or power, you never seem to know who are your actual friends or if their just people hoping to benefit from being associated to you. I learnt this the hard way. As I was in my house thin
General point of viewIt's evening and Diana and Mitchell were in their apartment just watching some movies and enjoying some good time. While at this, Mitchell was also working on the computer trying to see if she could find another part time job in order to increase her income."So, how is it going with Ryan?" She asked Diana without even looking at her"It's going good, I mean we have had some meet ups here and there but I can say it's all good" Diana responded" You know I don't want that kind of answer. I'm asking like have you done anything yet that he can't do with anyone else out here? " Mitchell asked" I know what you meant to ask and that's why I didn't answer you. Wait, are you already having gitters about your car? " Diana teased. She could see that Mitchell wasn't looking at her but she knew that the car she had put on the line would be one of her most prized possessions. Personally she didn't care if she won or lost, at the end of the day she wouldn't take her car just
Mitchell agreed to accompany Diana to where she would meet Ryan since she had nothing to do at the house. They met downtown and Ryan was wearing a casual wear but not too causal. The moment Diana saw him, she realized that Ryan could basically make a casual wear look so classy. He hugged them both and seemed quite surprised to see Mitchell with Diana. Instinctively, Diana told him that she was just there to make sure that she had company before they meet. So Ryan ordered for a cab and paid for Mitchell's drive home."Now, where are we going this fine evening?" Diana asked" I think it would be best that it should say as a surprise. But just to put it out there, we are not going to one place for the majority of the night " Ryan answered as he called for a cab for them and they got in"To Belfast hotel" he instructed the driverWhen Diana heard this she was quite impressed, Belfast was one of the top hotels in the city but it was located in the outskirts of the city where not much activ
