The runaway bride

Chapter 12: Contract.

Victoria was pissed. She found Yoongi again, drunk beyond imagination. His entire desk was on the floor. Again. With a sigh she went to pick him up and drag him in his own room since they were sleeping in separate bedrooms. He only saw the inside of her bedroom when they would have their occasionally intercourse encounters, and even then he wasn't too keen on sharing her bed.

She grabbed his arm and jerked him up. "For fuck sake Min, get a hold of yourself."

"Mmm." He mumbled under his breath. His alcohol scented breath made her nose twitch in disgust.

"Why the hell did you drink now?" She chastised him as he dragged his feet against the floor.

"Lost everything." Tears rolling down his eyes.

"What do you mean you lost everything?" She stopped walking and pushed him against the wall. "Explain Min." She raised her voice. Making him talk in his condition, was like banging her head against a brick wall expecting flowers to fall from her head.

"The company is failing. I've lost some big contracts." He yelled back.

Victoria looked at him as if he'd lost his mind. She crosses her hands on her chest. "What did you do?"

Yoongi slipped on the floor. "I... They found out about our impromptu wedding and decided to pull off." He explained. His head was lowered.

Victoria scoffed. She once again grabbed his arm, and this time managed to put him in his bed. "Sleep." She commanded.

"I need to work." He tried to get up, but couldn't. His intoxicated mind wouldn't allow him to be as sharp as it used to be.

"You need to shut up and sleep." She sighed and walked into her own room to change.

Due to the fact that it was barely afternoon, Victoria picked up from the floor the file that contained the names of the companies that pulled out their offer, and walked out the door. She swore she wouldn't return without those contracts signed. Even if their marriage might not be the ideal one, she would never give up on him. Yoongi was a brilliant businessman. He possessed a sharp mind and an acute sense of a good deal. He wasn't that good of a husband, but a girl gotta take what she can.

First she had to go to the one that she thought it was the most difficult to get in. She made some quick calls and managed to set up a meeting with the CEO. It was a casual meeting, at a café near their place.

"Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with me." Victoria shook the CEO's hand and sat at the table he personally picked.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. Your father is a very close friend of mine." He sighed and linked his hands together. "What is this about? I don't have much time at disposal. It's too short notice."

"I'm sorry about that. This is about Min's Industries, not my father. The contract you pulled out."

"Yes." He nodded. "We don't think Min Yoongi is the best to carry on with our plans. His morals are shady."

"Why?" Victoria tilted her head and rose her eyebrow. "Because he married me and not the golden child?"

"Who he is married has nothing to do with our decisions." He lied. It had everything to do. Victoria was a problem child and he didn't trust her.

"That's bullshit and we both know it." She pocked the inside of her cheek with her tongue. "If that's not the case, you wouldn't mind signing the contract right about now, would you?"

"Careful kiddo, you don't want to go there." He threatened.

"Oh, but I do want to go there." She flipped her hair. "I want to be the first one to let you know that Min Yoongi will be in charge of my father's company too. I suppose you would lose that contract if you don't sign this. Can you really afford to loose so much money?" She shrugged. She had been around businessmen for quite some time, nothing was more motivating than the idea of losing money.
