Vincent

"Glad we could come to a settlement." My lawyer stood and started to shake the assholes hand.

"I would never fuck him even if my life depended on it." I mumbled under my breath.

"That's fucking it. I'm sueing him for sexual assault. That was the last straw." The man yelled. Whoops I guess he heard me.

"Hey wait- he didn't mean it. My lawyer tried to stop them from leaving. Soon the conference room was empty except me and my very angry lawyer. "I quit Vince."

"Martin come on. You know would never fuck him. My dick would shrivel up and fall off if I fucked him." I sat back in my chair. The room was a part of my office building. I ran a tech company that was leading the competition in an unwinnable game. Simply put I'm the best.

"Vincent, I know that, you know that but the world doesn't. We had a settlement, a way out but you messed it up." He sat next to me with a sigh.

"I'm not letting him get off that easy Martin. He's lying. I hate liars." He nodded patting my back. His sad smile made me feel worse but I know he knew not to bring it up.

"Vince this was my last case I'm retiring. Me and Ruth are going to see the world." Martin was my uncle. After my mom passed when I was 15 I went to stay with him. He was the best uncle ever but I know he's tired. He's an old man in his late 60's and my aunt was the same. They deserve the time off.

"I get it Martin and I'm sorry but I couldn't just sit here and not speak my mind."

"I know Vince and that's why I already prepared for this." He handed me a card. The name on the card was Shawn Brooks and it had a number and an email address. "I set up a meeting with one of my coworkers. He's on the fast track to becoming a partner. He is very professional and was trained by the best." Martin stood up packing his papers.

"Who trained him?" I asked, still looking over the card.

"Me. Your meeting is in an hour so I would get prepared. He's a hard ass." Martin said with a sneaky smile. He has something planned. I just can't imagine what.

"Okay then, thanks. You and auntie call me later." He nodded leaving the room.

This is a whole mess. Someone who used to work for me accused me of sexually assaulting them. Of course it's not true because I would never fuck him. The accusations are getting worse everyday and until now we were able to keep it from the media. I don't mind settling it but he was not going to sit there and lie on me. The only reason he has a case is because my track record is not the best. I'm known to the public as an sex addict. I know for a fact I never fucked him though. I do have standards.

I walked back into my office and sat down. I had thirty minutes before I had to be downtown for a meeting with the new lawyer. I spent the time reviewing new proposals and approving testing dates. I'm in the process of building and designing robots that help around the house. It's been hell but we're finally in the testing phase.

"Maria text my driver to tell him to meet me outside." I called out to my assistant.

"I got you Vince." She replied.

I packed my bag and headed out the door.

"I'm coming with." Maria said rushing to get her things. She was a short dark skinned cutie. She had natural big curly hair and full lips. She was gorgeous but her husband was my bodyguard. I also would never fuck one of my employees.

"No you have to stay here and oversee the design team for me." I smiled at her.

"Fine." She sat back down. "Good luck."
