Business Affair

//Simple Request//

"Eros Publications, Madelyn Eros speaking." This call was passed to me from Ben and the number looked important. "Madelyn, happy to have a chat and myself Glenda Sparks, from Mr. Soyer's department." I took my notepad and tapped the pen feeling weird about this call from Glenda, why is she calling me instead of having a long chat with Ben. "We heard about the new project supporter, and I hope our company could squeeze to check it ourselves." I sighed and the news of Damon Nelson joining spread like wildfire plus he is Mr. Soyer's dear daughter's boyfriend. I fixed a date to make both companies and Glenda thanked behalf of Mr. Soyer. 

"Ma'am we have a guest down." Now who? I checked my calendar and saw none arriving today. Don't jinx but it could be Damon or one of his brothers. I crossed my finger all the way down on the lift and Ben might have seen me acting hyper off than normal. I opened the door of guest area and saw a person facing the window and inhaling smoke and letting it flow around. No smoking area and he broke the first rule ever possible to follow. "Might need a minute to guess me?" Same old voice and that leather jacket with 'God Ass Gift' written in bold and cologne of pine wood covered the entire room.

"How about an hour?" He chuckled and dropped the cigar to ash tray. He turned around, same old uncle face and old ass smile making him handsome but not like young days. "Welcome back Marco." I hugged him and sniffed the pine woods with some hint of cigar crossing my nose. "How you doing little Eros." He patted my hair, and I pushed his hand off. "How was Sri Lanka?" Marco went for a month trip to Sri Lanka with his friends. "Met some goodies." Gosh, he never changed and not married till now, so nothing matters to him. "Ethan treating you well?" Ethan suck Jones is treating me like trash, and I am not going to say that to my cousin. "Perfect and we have new member in our team." He raised his brow, and I laughed seeing him do that. "Damon? That middle Nelson?"

First person to react hearing his name and our whole family knew about his great character with those club night issues. Marco taught those three boys Math back in days and he won't believe how they look now. It must have been 6-7 years since he saw them. Marco chatted for few more minutes and handed me a gift box. "Gift for my little Eros." He kissed my forehead and hugged me one last time and left with his bike. Ben came by and checked the schedule to see that I am free for the evening and left office early because I need to think about all these happening around me. I opened the door to see Ethan watching TV and eating popcorn.

I ignored him and changed my clothes to track pants and tee, took my car keys and left the house because staying with him means my brain would explode in anger. My phone beeped and it was Ethan texting me. He saw me leave the house and now asking where the heck am I going to? Who the fuck is he to ask that? As if the husband title stays on, I don't care even if he wanted to be one like normal couples. A loving, caring, supportive and smart not like a goat screaming for attention. I drove past Fashion Industry and saw Daxton having a chat with someone outside. I parked the car and stepped out after all I need to grab some paperwork from here.

"Sure, how about we talk later." Daxton ended the chat and followed me inside the company, and I smiled seeing how he looked like a lost puppy behind me. Mini Damon- wait what the fuck did I mention? Daxton is Daxton and where did Damon come from? I screamed to my brain to have a proper word book and counited walk inside to see whole team working on the latest project. "All looks clear." Daxton hummed and he kept his pace to me, and I heard giggles from one corner and pushed past the staff members to see Damon sitting on the desk with his legs crossed and that ass grin.

"Damon Nelson." I hissed and every other human around walked off leaving me, Daxton and Damon alone and I closed the cabin door. Project Supporter badge hung on his tux and our company ID card around his neck. I slammed my fist to the desk and Damon raised his hands on air and leaned to me. "Isn't it bad to ruin your hands Bela." Daxton sighed and he left the cabin after seeing me signal him and I dropped the blinds down. "Need me to undress?" I threw the pen holder to his face, but he caught it and mouthed damn. "Cool off." Cool off? He could have ruined the entire project with snap of fingers, and we are two days behind than the given date.

"Damon, I had enough of your child plays, only because of Daniel you are working here and hear me out...we're two days behind than the given date making our rival company reach ahead." My mouth gave up the screaming and he removed his ID card and dropped it to the desk. "Fine, what the fuck should I do?" He questioned me and I just wanted to scream on his face, but something stopped me from doing that. He undid the badge and placed it on the desk. "Daniel fucking forced me to this damn job...Madelyn, I fucking can't work in a cube like others." Damon would never be able to cope on an office job after his various tries. Danile, I blame you for forcing a party animal to work with us. "Then don't and leave now." I hissed he picked his coat and left with a slam sound of the door. I stepped out and saw Daxton's eyes staring at me and I reached my car and Damon is still here.

"Weren't my words enough to leave?" I asked and he rolled his eyes at me and tried to raise the window back up, but my hands blocked them. "Get in then." I got in and buckled up to face any yells from him, but the ride went super quiet. Few turns and all we stopped by the beach and didn't leave the car because he locked the doors. "Madelyn, how about I make a simple request?" I hummed and he rolled the window down and pointed across the ocean flowing freely. "Join me for a swim." My breath reached to toes and he unlocked the doors and jumped out with me inside not knowing what to do. 

"Join me Bela."
"Maybe ocean can cool me off."
