HARD ROCK HEART

Chap.2 "The BOSS"

Matthew pov

I arrive at my  company that is strictly associated with Manufacturing industries, construction agencies,agricultural industries and mergers. How did one company got so big? I ask myself every single day. It all fearly started by my dad Matthew Roger Wallis the "3".
He's a very successful business man who's perspective is to never fail and always perseverance , most people say am just  like him , nothing but a rude , rich asshole who treat woman like trash basically because that's what they are.
I don't give a fuck who think am a bastard in fact I know am a bastard but I can't change  the fact it's just so simple as " 1,2,3,4,5".
Am rich that's all that matters, I love to say most woman can't get enough of me it's like am there medicine.

"Sir, you have a meeting with Mr Thompson,"Miss France said shly. So soon as I walk in my office, she didn't even knock on the door before barging in. Maybe she thinks we're in the same bridge bracket but I'll teach her .

Miss France is my personal assistant, who got the hots for me but I convince her it's strictly business not pleasure and if she confuse them she's fired.

" When is this meeting?" I ask bluntly.

"Sir in the evening," she hold her head down and said stuttering.

"Will you look at me, and be more specific!!!!!!" I bark at her harshly.

It's been two year since she's been working here and she still hasn't warm up to me.

"Sorry , he said at 2:00 ," she said shakily then bow down to me.

"Will you please stop bowing , get off the floor!!" I shouted angrily.

"Sorry sir, it won't happen again," she said shakily looking slightly scared.
"It's OK, but please for the last and final time, I will say this always get to the point!!!" I shouted angrily.

"Could you repeat that miss France." I said with a sinful smirk on my face.

She grip the wall tighter with her hands, then swallow the lump in her throat.

" always ... Get.. To.. The . .. Point," she said nervously shaking.

"Can I go now sir?" She ask nervously.

"Are you the boss here? I hiss harshly at her.

"No sir, she shake her head aggressively.

"Then why are you asking questions?!!"I bark at her.

I slowly move towards her with a angry face, slightly printing my veins and non visible wrinkles on my face.

My knuckles were white, I was almost the spitting image of an angry hulk.

"Sorry sir , won't happen again," she spat the words out quickly at me.
" Make sure, I said sedately. Now get out, I gestured to the door. She quickly ran threw the door.

"I had to show her who's boss", I said to myself.

Board meeting

I horridly check the time on my watch, it was now 2:09 am late , am never ever late but what the heck no one is perfect.
I adjusted my collar  ,ensure that I had the blue print, clip boards and cartridge paper set for the  brief presentation. Today I had to convince my father off all executive about me being the permanent manager of the company. I just need to create a little excitement that attract member or staff about why I should still remain as the mainly headed  boss.
I arrive at the meeting and saw that every one was patiently waiting on me. Am a very impatient guy but that don't say  you shouldn't be patient with me, I quickly thought.
I got settled real quick, adjusted my presentation area neatly and securely then soon I got along with the demonstration. I could feel all the evil eyes piercing threw the back of my brain, their currently waiting for me to make a mistake.
Everyone cheer when I hit a main point relating to the company business associates ,yes this was basically mainly the highlight of the presentation. Soon as I was finished my father get along to the board meeting, where he talk about business, Getting involved with other company but of course he had to mention my personal life (marriage).
I was angry overall pissed, am not a hooker, my dad teased me mainly to get me upset.
He always wants me to settle down with a descent woman who can full fill all my needs in the bed room with an exception of mistress.
It was now 3:45 , i couldn't wait to stretch out my arm not to mention the meeting was getting boring so as soon as it was finished everyone rush threw the door.
**************"**"*************

I was in my office signing conference papers and documents when I heard a quick  nock on the door.

"You may come in," I said aloud.
" Dad", I said surprised then quickly stood up from my leather chair.

"Son we need to talk," he said with a smirk.

"OK", I said confused.
Dad sat in front of me, then got to the point.
"You know that your the head of the company now son, your status stands out, what reflect on you may also on the company," he said strictly serious.

"So dad, what's the point, " I frown then shrugged.

"The point is am retiring," he said bluntly.

"No," I simply say then stood up again.

"Am sorry son but am just , not cut out for this any more," he chuckled.
Am a 51 year old man, am getting old now, your presentation was quite perfect I must say, I see where you get your intelligence from, he said.

"Dad are you sick?"

"No son, what make you think that."
"Your retiring dad, why else would I think so."

"Son, the old man is getting old but not sick am just tired that's all," he gave me a reassuring squeeze on my right hand.

"OK then," I said with a sad look on my face.

"It's OK, you won't make a move in the company with out consulting me first," he laughed.

"Out with the old and in with the new," he chuckled, "you remember that statement? He asked.
"Yeah," I answered laughing.

"Come on " new boss " let's celebrate," Dad emphasize.
**_*"""""***********"*"*"*"*,***,

Celebration

"Cheers to the new boss," dad hold up is champagne and shouted out to the crowd excitingly.

" cheers ", everyone shouted cheerfully then clap.

Later on in the night I got a few hugs from my coworkers and other relating work associates, that congratulated me on my permanent position in the company.

The night was peaceful, breeze cold as ice, I guess new York was near to the mouth of December (winter).
Everyone was still neatly gather at the dining table communicating; some whispering, showing body language  while others laughing and smiling at foolish joke made up by my step brother Thomas.

This was all way too much for me, I went outside the dining room to get some fresh air.

I was greeted by the night cool breeze that ruffled threw my black hair.
I need a few minutes to take in all of this.
Slowly walking out into the garden walkway for a stroll I saw a girl sitting on the bamboo bench crying.
Walking closer I heard her loud sobs .
I threw a way my drink, heard a smashing sound then remembered the wine was serve in a glass ware.

"Fuck that," I said.
She turn around, gasp then ran when she saw me.

Wait !!!!! I shouted, running to catch-up with her.

But she was too fast.

Who is she?????

No one run from me... No one.
