HAGEL'S POV
AFTER the awkward dinner, I tried to lighten the mood by promising to be Vidal's escort to her Entrepreneur Opportunity fundraising gala in Chicago next Saturday.
Henry would be busy. He has to stand in for Jayden as a father figure for the new school Abel's enrolling in. He'll be gone the entire week.
I have the championship finale on Friday in Chicago.
This is the perfect schedule for me to kill two birds with one stone.And, I really want to make it up to Vidal for the countless times these past weeks when I showed no interest in her fundraising event.
Maybe, I can even pretend to be interested in the lady she keeps trying to pair me up with.
The infamous Helen Keller Stiles, daughter of the billionaire K.S Corp. Owner Brandon Keller Stiles.
Maybe I'll like her and finally get a certain red hair sorceress who haunts me on a daily basis out my system.
Impossible.
I know.
***†***I took a quick shower, going into my study to go over the topics for discussion at the board meeting tomorrow.
I don't know how long I spent engrossed in the papers but before I realized, orange glows had appeared in the sky signalling day break.
I roughed my face in my calloused palm, passing a hand through my hair and making a mental note to trim it later.
My beard was rough with a five o'clock shadow.
My therapist will poke my eyes out for this. I've not done a single thing she recommended.
I don't need to.
*****
It was still early when I arrived at the office.
Jumping straight into work. I had proposals to review and most importantly, I had to cough up a solution to curb the De Silver predicament.Last night as I checked my email, I realized my assistant had sent me a file I had not checked because I was busy with my matches at the Rings.
The file had a picture attachment which showed the signed contract between De Silver Corp. and Real V estate Ltd.
I've been chasing after that deal for a week now, only to have it snatched out of my hands.
These companies used to crawl to us with their balls in between their legs, but after the crises with De Silver Corp blew over, the media sided with them, drawing a good ten percent market shares from our holds.
Cain empire don't go public, but, I had no choice, I have to say something and I knew the perfect plan
Soon, all companies will be begging to work with us.
