A Vegas Mishap (#2)

Rebellious or Arrogant

Ethan

"So, the deal is done?" I asked Henry who was sitting in front of me.

"Yes, they are very happy we accepted", he told me with a nod.

"The terms were good so, of course", I told him.

"It is good to see you, Ethan. It's been so long since we met", he told me.

"Indeed, it has been long since we saw each other in person. First, I had vanished to Athens for three and when I came, you were gone to your honeymoon", I told him with a smile.

"Yeah, time flies. Next week it is going to be four months into your marriage, right?", he told me and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't utter that word in front of me, please. I am just glad this will be past all of us soon", I told him.

"So, how is Ophelia?" he asked.

"Good, she is nice actually. I mean we started talking to each other just two days ago actually. But, I can tell she is a good person. The only problem is her attitude towards me. She talks to me as if I am some random person she has met and not one of the elite businessmen in town", I told him honestly.

Henry chuckled, "Ah! So your highness is bothered that someone doesn't want to submit to him."

"It is not about submission, Henry. I just don't like the way she talks to me. It sounds like she is really rebellious. Too much attitude", I told him honestly.

"Should I be warning you then? Not to fall for her attitude?", he asked me pursing his lips.

I laughed, "Falling? Me? For her? Not possible. You know already I don't do all that falling shit and also, she is not my type. So not my type."

"Good, because, as you know, all this ends in eight months and I wouldn't want you to get hurt in the end", he chuckled at me.

"Then, you should warn her, probably. I am not sure if she won't fall for me. It is hard with these looks you know", I said jokingly.

But, deep inside, I very well know none of it will ever happen. Ophelia is not interested in me at all and neither am I.

After these eight months, we will part our ways happily as friends.

"Anyways, I think it is getting late and we should head home. It is seven already. My wife must be waiting for me", he told me.

"You head home. I still have some work in here", I told him.

"Do it later", he told me.

"Nah. I'll just finish it. Say hi to Aria", I told him as he packed.

"Sure", he said and left after grabbing his stuff.

I started working on my documents and finishing up signing a few documents.

I was distracted as my cell phone vibrated next to me. I looked at it and rolled my eyes when I saw it was my mother.

I decided to not pick it up as I knew what she will say and I don't want to argue with her right now. I am too tired.

I continued working and after sometime my phone vibrated again and it was my father this time. I avoided it this time too.

I decided to call it a day when I was done and that's when I noticed it was already nine thirty. I sat in my car and closed my eyes leaning back as the driver drove home.

"Sir, we reached", the driver said making me open my eyes.

I was so tired that I had slept the whole way without even realising it.
