Me, you and him

Chapter 2

Hailey's POV

How dare he even consider that I would sell him half the shares of my company? I worked hard to build this company and I would never ever sell any part of this.

"What?!" I asked, "Are you joking? Because if you are, I'm kicking you out. Wait you know what? Regardless of whether you're joking or not I'm kicking you out this instant," I picked my phone to call Adam and ask him to kick this maniac out.

"You wouldn't be kicking me out if you saw this," and he shoved his phone in my face.

The whole world stopped. In front of my face, was a video of me threatening an employee of NanoTech, to reveal their latest software programs. Yes, I did do that. So what? But the actual question is who would have recorded this?

"Now would you still want to kick me out?"

"How much?" I asked, "How much do you want in exchange for this video?"

"Oh I'm willing to give you this video but not for money, sunshine," he casually leaned in his seat and crossed his arms, "I'm willing to bargain this video for 1/2 shares of Genesis."

I couldn't breathe. The more sensible part inside me kept telling me to do the unthinkable... sell my company to Finn Lloyd. When I was debating with myself whether or not I should do what he wants me to, he spoke

"Oh and by the way, almost forgot, silly me, the income tax will raid your company," he checked his watch, "in exactly 10 minutes

God, I was so stuck! It's either agree with him or lose everything I have built and own.

"Fine, I agree with your proposition," I mumbled hesitantly.

"Sorry what was that?" he leaned forward like he didn't fucking hear me.

"I said I agree with the proposition you prick," I said louder through gritted teeth.

"Ahh, feisty no are we? Sounds like music to my ears when you say it, gorgeous," seemingly satisfied he leaned away. He took out his phone and called someone,

"This is Finn. No tell the income tax that everything is fine now. You know what to do," he ended his call and looked at me with a devilish smirk, "now that we have agreed about the deal why don't we finish it off right here right now?"

"I can't. I need to talk to-"

"Mr Henderson? Well, no".

"I beg your pardon? I don't need your permission to talk to my COO about the prevailing situation of my company," I said crossing my arms. Just because we are going to be business partners doesn't mean he can boss me around and poke his fucking nose into my business. Ok so literally he is a part of my business but not my life. We are business-partners, not life-partners. Wait what? What the fuck am I even thinking?

"Now, remember I have something precious, honey and this little conversation we had inside this little cabin of yours will stay right here, and no one should know," he simply said.

"Fine," I snapped.

"Good girl now we'll get this over with," he took his phone out and called someone again.

"Stefani come in with the documents. We are ready," then he looked at me with a smirk.

Jerk.

"Did you say something?" he asked clearly enjoying my distress.

Grudgingly giving him a nod to say no, averting my gaze towards the door waiting for his Stefani to walk in.

Just as the door opened and a tiny blonde girl, who I've seen before scurrying behind him wherever he goes, walked in with a worried looking Adam following her.
