After I Do (Knight #2) (On Hold)

Chapter 8

Marcus POV

I sat inside the meeting and the only thing on my mind was what happened this morning. It was not how I planned to slip my business meeting into the day. It never occurred to me that my secretary would call but I should have told her not to,  I should have told her that my wife or anyone for a matter of fact didn't know. And I deserved the outcome of it

"Oh no, I just wondering if you forgot about your business meeting, that's very unprofessional," she said, I felt the blood drain from my face, how did find out.

"Yeah I know" she smirked at me, she had this look in her eye, she was certainly up to something.

"I can't believe you would do something like this, daddy will be very mad " she started "so mad that he might reconsider giving to business to you, think of it, what's the point of marrying me if you don't get the oil business " she sat at the edge of the bed, her legs were crossed and I couldn't look away. Her legs are so captivating, long, and beautiful.

Focus, I was here starting at her legs when she was threatening me.

"But" she spoke again " there is a way to guarantee that I don't tell "

"I'm listening "

"Make me CEO of my father company, we can run it together," she asked, I should've seen this request coming.

"No"

"I knew you would say that you and my father think the same way, you both think that a woman isn't capable of running a business, which is bullshit " she looked angry, super angry.

"No, I don't think that way. It's just that I don't want to go against your father and risk the company " I wasn't sexist, I know that women can do literally anything they put there mind to.

"My father won't be a problem, when he signs over the company to you, it will become yours and you can do whatever you want " that's true " but if something was supposed to happen before the pen touches the paper," she said suggestively, I stood contemplating my options

"So what will it be "

She drove a hard bargain, even if I didn't want to ruin the relationship I had with her father, I wouldn't want to lose the company more

So I end up giving in and I was happy I did, I got my first real smile this morning. Her slightly pink lips straight into a dazzling smile that took my breath away. I could hardly focus on this presentation.

I would kill to see her smile again, even if it was only one more time. What am I even say, Rebecca, hates the living hell out of me? I ruined her life and she doesn't pass up an opportunity to remind me.

But it's not like I want her to like me, I don't need or seek a woman's approval.

"Your thoughts, Mr. Knight " the voice of the presenter drew me back

"Yes, I agree ", everyone seems surprised by my answer, the presenter Paul, I think his name is thanked me a million times for giving him a chance. I looked at him confused but them u remembered what I said. Because I was so caught up with my thoughts of Rebecca, I don't know hell what the man is talking about I hope I made the right decision.

Rebecca was already getting too involved in my life and it needs to stop

****
