The void she fills

Chapter I

It wasn’t always like that, life wasn’t as easy and outgoing. My parents were immigrants and nevertheless to say things were tough on us. I was always dreaming on living a lavish life and give my parents whatever they heart desire and as their only child and son, it was also a dream to  be the provider.

Younger, people used to make fun of me when I said I will be a freaking millionnaire one day. I remember their saying as for today where you come from nobody make it as big as you think, it easy for the others, stay in your line. Rubbish, what a load of crap. Making it or not depends solely on the plan you are making. They should have known better, look at them right now.

As I was driving  to go to my office, all of those thoughts were running in my head. They sure keep me focus, for I will never forget where I came from as a motivation to work even harder everyday.

As soon as I reached the headquarter, I saw my associate talking with a woman. He is such a womanizer, I don’t even know how to tell him to stop sleeping around. I know, sex depravation can cause you a lot of trouble but having a lot of sex will have him catch some disease for sure.

I cleared my throat when I reached him, the woman look at me and wink while he turn his head to look at me. Ahhh I guess they are quite the pair, no string attach just the sex. As if i will be interested in her. Despicable creature.

“My man, I thought you had something planned with your mother? How is she?” Matthew said

I laughed “you remember that, how sweet of you honey. She is good. But I didn’t see her, something came up on her side. She put it off” I do not missed how the woman eyes widen when I called him honey, she must think that we are together. It’s funny.

“Yow, stop it. Don’t call me honey. It’s not funny” he said, throwing his fist playfully.

I laughed again and asked “who is your friend?”. She was looking at us with confusion written all over a face. Maybe I should try putting my hand around his waist sensually and see what her reaction would be. He would probably kill me on the spot.

“None of your business, don’t you think” he said narrowing his eyes as in way to tell me, don’t push it, I just want her to go already. I didn’t even have the time to react. She push herself forward

“My name is Evary, and you sexy stuff”  Easy woman, I will understand if we were at the club but it’s my work place.

“I have things to do, if you will excuse me. I will see you in 15 Matthew” as I turn around, I heard a mutter under her breath asshole. I don’t got time to entertain the one night stand. It’s useless, a waste of energy and stamina, this isn’t the kind of prize we are aiming for. Even though occasionally i must relieved myself but i assured them we are not gonna be together and live freely without any attachment

The day hasn’t even started yet, it was already tiring. I have a ton of documents to sign and a lot of land to visit, reviewing the construction plan of some villas and talk with my clients. What can I say even though you got it all, you will always want more this is our nature. Money brings peace.  Peace, such a weird word, i think there is no peace in this world, stress and depression have won this round all the way through the way

As I was running my hands through my locks, I heard a small knock on my door.  “yes, you may enter”. I said, reading the contracts.

“Good morning Sir, here is your coffee. The meeting will start at 11 o'clock with the team. May I say something?” Sarah said, being rather uncomfortable.

Sighing I look at her, knowing exactly it was going to be a tension that I will have to ease. I said “yes, you may Sarah”. She casts her eyes down, putting her hair behind her ears and look at me. As soon as, her eyes catch mine, I smile at her and she look at the floor immediately.

“it’s probably not my place to tell you this but firing some people will help us a lot. I know it’s awfully haughty to say that because i am not the boss but Kathya keep bringing tension for every little things. I am tired of her and the other girls can’t stand her either. She is just like Ursula, always scheming something, messing up our lives and gossiping here and there, collecting informations and spreading rumors. She is a bitter woman, she should be in a mental asylum not here” she finished, covered in sweat with her head down. Someone could have thought that I was torturing her, that’s how shy she is.

“Okay Sarah, I will handle it” I said. She apologized for the disturbance and walked out. I thought I will have this problem in one of my clubs not here. Anyway, I will let Matthew take care of these shenanigans, but will they listen to him?? No. Where is he anyway?

Much to my dismay, as if I didn’t have enough on my plate. I received a call from Matthew telling me we are fucked because there was an accident in one of the house under construction. What a day. It’s not even noon yet. Msanti mta rele anmwey man (I just want to scream man)

On my way out, I saw Kathya coming in, I was too busy to go and talk to her but her supercilious behaviour will not be to tolerated at this point. I must fix some rules since they are acting like toddler. This is an office for Godsake. Am I too lenient? Was I beeing too nice to her ? wait does she think the kiss entitled her to do whatever she wants. It was a mistake, I should have never done that, maybe chicken out would have been the best decision. I am an idiot, damn you Matthew.

When I reached the house, I saw an ambulance going away with the siren blaring. I sigh for the umpteenth time this morning and walk inside of the house, Matthew was grinning ear to ear to his phone. Is this fool serious right now.

I snatched his phone and glared at him “why calling me if you can handle the situation?” I said.

“Because your sorry ass is a work addict, I bet you didn’t eat anything this morning. Let’s go grab something, I will debrief everything to you while eating” he said already walking towards my car. How did he get here anyway?.

“Debriefing, what are you? a cop?” I said, laughing

“Yes honey, turn around so I can have my way with you” he said winking.

“Disgusting, what are you a child? Wait, I thought I was the top?”

“Shut up Jackson” he said while glaring at me

I guess we can always save the day, better work my ass off then. My mind was running everyday never a break. Meeting, meeting, meeting. I will just lure him and go straight to the office. Buddy you are in for a ride to work.

Hi Sugarrss, why do you think of Jackson? Not much in the description right. You don't know how tall is he? His skin colour? Where is he from? Did any of you guess where? There is a clue in the book though😉

I know you don't feel like living the fantasy.

But don't worry✨✨✨ we will get there.

Byeeee✨✨
