Alchemy of Madness

Chapter Nine (John)~2

"I hope the new girl was up to your expectations." Xavier voice filled the car. Heading back to the office after that needed trip to the club. I was in a desperate need to a real body to get off. It felt like a numbing cream to my wounded heart. I didn't feel that good like it did with Valeria. I'm that smitten over a kiss and a blow.

"She was okay, keep her exclusive, I don't want other taste on her."

"Of course sir, as you wish." The call ended just before I arrived at the office building. I walked back to the office with a more clearer mind and a calmer body. I wasn't expecting much from the new chick, but whatever, those bitches are only there for one purpose.

I headed toward my office floor, feeling lighter than before, but just as I was about to enter, Adam stopped me. "Mr. Harry is waiting for you inside and he requested to have all the curtains down." I despised having them down; I had all glass walls for a reason, and having them down already irritated me.

"I thought he was having lunch with my father, why is he back?"

"No idea, he came while I was in my lunch break and requested that from someone else in the office and also mentioned to inform you the moment you came back that he is waiting for you." Adam said. "He also brought a coffee machine to your office."

I chuckled and looked at Adam, who appeared bewildered. "Yeah, you make the worst coffee ever, I'm not gonna ask you again to make one." Adam was going to respond. "— it's not your job anyways, it just a force of habit, my old assistant loved coffee and she added that task to her job."

Adam nodded, and as I opened the door to my office, he said, "He has someone with him, I don't know who, neither does anyone." That must be his legendary assistant. That man and his persistence.

I went inside and was greeted by Harry's loud voice. "Here you are, I was starting to get worried, you won't came back." The office was empty, just Harry.

"I had an appointment outside, is your little date with Dad was boring?" Harry laughed. "I was told you had someone with you. Where is your mystery guest?"

"Using your bathroom." That's disgusting; I don't allow anyone to use my space; Harry coming into my office twice without my permission has already irritated me, and now his fucking assistant is using my bathroom. Fucking headache.

"What do I owe you for visiting me twice in one day?"

"I brought my knight with me."

"Look Harry I know you said that you want to help but forcing him is another thing."

"I'm not forcing you to do anything, I just want you to give yourself a chance to win."

"He's just an assistant! He will not make the substantial change that you are expecting."

The door opened, and I didn't bother looking in his way, trying to calm my rage at the fact that both men had been in my space for far too long.

"Let me introduce you to Gonzalez, my knight." As I stared toward the door, my heart stopped pounding and air departed my lungs, leaving me in complete astonishment. "Valeria Gonzalez."

It's her. My Valeria. How?!
