Rivals Part 5

"Who said anything about going out? We can order for food delivery and just stay here, together." Tae looks at Tee trying to figure out if Tee is happy that he's going to stay longer with him and that too on a day off!

Tee smiles and says, "Sure, I'd like that."

"You know, I never thought that you would be this adorable! I always saw you as a business rival and never appreciated how gorgeous you are!" Tae says after looking at Tee smiling at him.

"I am not a girl... you don't need to say adorable and gorgeous to me!" Tee blushes and says.

"No girl can ever compare to you.. and you are adorable and gorgeous... also I have never told that to anyone else.." Tae says.

"Are you flirting with me?" Tee smirks.

"Is it too late? Or too soon? Or you don't like it?" Tae starts rambling.

Tee just pulls Tae's t-shirt towards him and kisses Tae to stop him from speaking any further. Then he looks into Tae's eyes and says,

"I'm hungry. Order something to eat."

Tae leaves for his place to get his things needed for his meeting with Gina and to change his clothes appropriate for the meeting.

Tae reaches Gina's hotel where she has scheduled the meeting. They meet at the cafe located inside the hotel itself.

Gina still has no idea about Tae's presence at the cafe yesterday. She was already sleeping before Tae reaches their table.

Gina after waking up from her sleep yesterday, thought that maybe it was Tee who put something in her drink to make her sleepy. When she logically thought about it, she realised that Tee did not have any opportunity to do add anything to her drink.

But then who else could it be?

Tae begins his presentation and talks about the salient points of his proposal. He goes on to explain in detail about several advantages of selecting them as the partner for the project.

Soon, the business aspect of the meeting gets over and Gina gets into the mood of seeking pleasure from this handsome hunk in front of her. As soon as she gives Tae a seductive smile and slides her hand across the table to grab Tae's hand, Tae grabs her hand with his other hand and slowly but gently places it away from him.

"Let me just tell you something. I am not interested in flirting with you or sleeping with you. I want our relationship to be strictly professional. You are a beautiful woman, you don't need to seek out guys' attention like this." Tae tells Gina.

Gina gets irritated at Tae's words as she thinks that he is looking down at her.

"You know how important this project is for your company, right? Yesterday, Tee from X company made a grave mistake by rejecting me and most likely he would not receive the project. So this is your golden chance, don't miss it. I can.." Gina begins to threaten Tae.

Tae smiles as he knew that things could take this turn so he was ready with his counterattack.

"You know Gina, I know that your grandfather has completely retired from the business and has given you the company to run. But what hardly anyone else knows in the industry is that the will of your grandfather.... Your grandfather knew about your promiscuity since you were in college which brought a lot of bad publicity to his company. "

Gina's eyes become as big as saucers when she hears Tae speaking about the secret that very few people know. How does he know this?

Tae continues to speak,

"So the will in which he has given everything to you, he had a clause added in the will, if you ever cause bad publicity to the company because of your sleeping around with people and the company suffers, then you would not receive a single penny from your inheritance. Do you really want to play this game with me? I have proof of what all you have done. What if I were to go to your grandfather and...." Before Tae could finish, Gina says with a smile,

"I never expected you to be this daring in front of me! You are threatening me! But the threat indeed is real to me. Why are you doing this? You could have easily gotten the proposal with your business rival removed from the list of partners." Gina asks Tae.

Tae does not care to answer her question directly but instead he smiles and tells Gina,

"I want you to give this project to both, my company and Tee's company. Of course I want the size of the project even bigger so it is beneficial for all of us included in the deal. Even though it might look like I'm threatening you but believe me, this project will be a great return on investment for you. So I will leave you to think on this and get back to me."

Gina stops Tae and looks at him with laughter in her eyes. Gina says,

"I like you.. no, this time I'm not talking about your looks but your brains. I like how bold you are and have good business acumen and a quick decision maker. I have no doubt that you both would lead this project to success. And I don't think you would tell me why you suddenly want to include Tee in this deal but I have my doubts... I'll take my revenge on you some day... maybe put sleeping pill in your drink when you least expect it while you are out on a date with Tee!"

Tae is shocked to hear Gina figure all this out simply by their short conversation. This lady is sharp indeed!

Gina continues, "I've decided to give this project to both your companies. I'll mail the details to both of you and you can give me further information as required."

Gina gets up from the table and shakes Tae's hand and asks, "Is there a chance that I could be present when you both are getting it on?"

Tae takes his hand away from Gina's and says, "Hell no!"

Then Gina laughs and makes another attempt, "What if I ask you to just give me a voice recording of both of your moans while having sex?"

Tae is just too shocked to hear what Gina said.

"I'll give you both a much sweeter deal for the next project if you give me this recording..." Gina is trying her luck again.

Tae tells her with no expression, "Let's talk again when you have the next project for us. We should concentrate on this one at the moment."

Tae finally bids her goodbye and leaves from the cafe while Gina looks at Tae's back with a naughty grin on her face.

Tae reaches Tee's place directly from the meeting and presses the bell. Tee opens the door, looking sleepy. Tae smiles looking at Tee's cute face with bedhead and sleepy eyes. Tae closes the door with his heel, picks up Tee and puts him on his shoulder while Tee starts screaming, "Put me down, put me down!"

Tae gently slaps Tee's butt and says, "Shh... I'm sleepy, let's sleep together"

On reaching Tee's bed, Tae pushes Tee down and he crawls on top of him with a devilish smile on his face. No way the two are sleeping so soon..
