Derick POV

Wow.. He can't believe he's feeling this way, he has just saw the most beautiful eyes gazing at him yet so infuriating lady.

She was intelligent he will give her that, he observed her as she handled the board of directors and how they had all accepted her project with no objections, she was so confident with her presentation.

Her eyes were so intriguing, she was few inches shorter than him but damn, it makes her cuter. Her dressing was so stylish with her slight make up which made her look simple yet elegant.

She even ignored him and walked away from him after she shakes hand with the board members, he was boiling up with with jealousy inside, he realised how each of them looked at her with so much interest.

And as if that one wasn't enough, she snobbed him for the second time and even insulted his personality.

He was going to make her beg for him and when he's through with her, he will wish their part never crossed.

Dammit.. No body ignores him, he's has received a call from his dad few weeks back, telling him of the business meeting and the benefit involved ,the two companies need each other at this trialing time to blossom and he has accepted to come down on behalf of his dad, Mr Daniel was a very difficult man to please, despite his actions, he still loves him dearly though they both have had their clashing out moment, since he was  the present CEO of Zantrov fashion company INC in Nigeria he had to leave up to his responsibility. They also Owned one of the Biggest  fast growing Hotels and Restaurants across the world.

His Mom owns one of the biggest jewelry Shopping Mall across  in Nigeria, they were damm one of the richest company in Africa .. He's described as dangerous type, women are always clutching to him, he's known as the billionaires playboy .. But even with all that, he lived a luxurious lifestyle as well.

He could control anyone and get anything he wants and now he's about invest in Powermart Clothing company, they will be supplying Zantrov with clothing and design in their different company across the world where Zantrov has ties and in exchange, Zantrov will promote powermart in all their shows to their consumer, definitely the two companies will benefit from the alliance.

" Sir sir.!... ". He was brought back from his thoughts by his secretary.

" Get the car ready, I will meet you in the park bay ".He told his secretary.

Walking out of the board room, he smirk to himself, he has a personal assignment on his mind.

He will make sure he makes her beg for his attention, he can't wait to tame the feisty damsel

Game On... .......

Clutching his hand tightly, he walked out of powermart, he entered his car and his driver drove away.

Of course he was just dismissed like a Nobody arrogantly and he will make that pay back.

Entering his office he called his legal practitioner and gave them instructions concerning the agreement.

He was going to make her beg him before signing that damn agreement and mostly importantly, she was going to be his.

Gosh, her beautiful alluring eyeball was so seductive .

He thought spinning around on his chair, no lady has ever awaken such emotion within him and honestly he has never quest himself on getting any woman before.

But damn Rita was no just any woman, she was different than Every other ones he had come across in the past.

Her determination and principles were quite interesting.

Lost in thought he didn't notice his Telecom rang before his secretary walked in.

"Sir !" popping her head out the door.

"Yes Bernice, what's it ?"

"Your father is on line 2, he said he wants to speak with you "

"No problem " I told her before she shut the door.

Answering the Telecom ,I pressed two  when I heard my dad's voice.

"Good afternoon Dad "

"Son, How did the meeting go? " he asked.

"Well Dad, it went excellent, I will draw the agreement documents and send it to them as soon as possible "

"Good, but please get it done as soon as possible. Alright I gotta run! " he said before hanging up.

Excellent

He exclaimed just when he thought everything was going according to his plan .

He thought!

His Dad might just ruined his plans once more but he wasn't letting that happen.

He has a model runway show in cross River state the next day and honestly he didn't wish to attend but he has promised to take Stan on his next  trip to Port with him this time and he doesn't like disappointing especially his friends.

The day went quite uneventful as he tried to get the list of the model on the Ramo project next week in Abuja.

One of their biggest client was hosting a New skin care cream product and he had asked for few of our models to help him advertise it.

The skit film shoot was happening in Abuja transcop Hotels and the agreement endorsement documents needed to be signed before then.

Going through my email after asking Bernice get me fried plantains with sauced egg for lunch  from a close by cafeteria , I heard a knock once more on the door.

"Come in" .

I said flatly  I hate getting distracted especially when I was stressed, I find it difficult to control my emotions and anger. I saw the Manager walked in with a proposal in his hand, I let down my pen on the desk and closed my laptop.

"Good afternoon sir " he greeted.

"Good afternoon Mr Ali " .

"What brings you to my office "I asked.

" I held a meeting with the head of various departments ,we talked about the company means of growth "

"What do you propose "

" we have decided to begin a monthly runway show Every Quarter of the year which the first Will be next month " he suggested.

I pounded over it carefully " What do we hope to accomplish by this runaway show "

"It's going to help us in creating interest among the public to spread awareness about our new arrivals in different design and style of each of the company we have signed with "he said.

"well I think you have a point, It is a way to get customers to notice our exciting and creative models while showcasing different brands we have signed endorsement with "I agreed.

"That's fine, Draft the the budget and let me know latest by next week " I told him .

He stood up and was about leaving when I finally found the courage "Thank You Mr Ali and I appreciate all what you and the team are doing for the company " I told him kindly.

He smiled and nodded, it's not Everyday you get a Kind Mr.  Derrick.

I sat for some moments later clearing up my desk, decided that I have had enough for the day, I picked up my case and walked out of my office.

I told Bernice to leave whenever she was ready and left the office.

The drive home was fast, the traffic was considerable light.

I got home and showered, changed into my casual and decided to make myself a cup of coffee.

My thoughts flashed back to the event that has occurred earlier in the morning and I couldn't help to get the thought of a certain Golden lady  with her beautiful eyes off  his mind.
