The CEO's beloved's road to happiness

Chapter 20

"Sir,please you can't go in____"

"Get out of my way before I smash your head ."

This scene gave Cornelius a sense of deja Vu and this brought a bit of a smirk to his face but was completely gone when Zane barged into his office with his assistant following behind the sub with a panting breathe.

"It okay just go back to your work station why I address this guest."Cornelius put emphasis on the word guest while waiting for his assistant to exit the office,complete silence filled the room.

Taking advantage of the silence,he took a critical look at Zane who looked pale and weak plus had lost significant weight but still had the haughty and prideful air around him though it was about to be lowered the moment he arrived in his office.

"You sure do like barging into my office."I said in a mocking tone to Zane who snorted and went to pour himself a glass of water while making himself comfortable in the chair opposite me.

"And you sure like to play with others."Zane shot back at me that made me chuckle a bit while closing my laptop to give my undivided attention to my interesting guest.

"Oh my,I think you have a kink for always blaming me for things that I am not aware of."I said to my guest who intent,glared at me.

"I never knew both cousins had a cunning personality and are snakes."

"I prefer to call myself smart and idealistic than a snake,a bit cunning though but I can't possibly run a big company without having wits and you my friend,know how important it is for one to be witty in order not to have to be betrayed."

"I hate you, Cornelius."

"Great minds think alike then."Zane had given up on exchanging words with this foxy Cornelius and decided to state his purpose here while exchanging words with him.

"You purposely led me to find out that Miguel was in a relationship with my wife."

"Oh that hmm,I believe so."Now Zane was speechless at the nonchalant tone that Cornelius used in answering his question.

"I thought you would deny it."

"Why deny something I have done plus we both aren't saints to pretend around each other."

"I loathe that Miguel called my wife to a hotel trying to rope her into having a relationship with him.
Never imagined that he was such a greedy bitch and why come for someone else's spouse when you have a great man like Siaw who looks him."

"Oh dear Zane,sometimes don't only read the surface because there might be something more deeper than what you see and hear."

"You talk in riddles and that fuels my hatred for you."

"Kid don't go pokering and snubbing yourself in matters that you can't handle.
My advice is for to think about how to safeguard your wife from the cluthes of Miguel."

"Why do you care about me and my relationship."

"To be honest I just want to use you to cause a bit of a havoc and upon all the sidekicks that my cousin had you are less stupid than the rest and pretty much gullible and you proved me right because I heard of the havoc you created and that has led to the division of your friends circle."Zane felt bitter on the words that Cornelius said but his words earned him(Cornelius) his respect because though both cousins were cunning but there is a difference to there cunningness,one had a bottom line and the other had none at all.
Plus Cornelius didn't pretend to like him or suck up to him but bluntly told him the reason for helping him.
