Chapter 4 Changes

Chapter 4.

"Am just calling to thank you for the ride", Ela said.

I chuckled, "No worries, you are welcome, when will you be less busy", I uttered?

She left me hanging for a while, and I was thinking that I blew it already.

It was not that long when she hummed and replied to me, "Am sorry but what are you illustrating".

I was already scared to ask her out, but wait, why will I be scared of just a lady, who does she think she is?

I sighed and frowned my face, practicing how I was going to tell her, but she kept talking, questioning my words, then I said?

"I would just love to see you again", in a low tone.

She kept mute before she bursts into laughter, laughing maniacally on the phone.

"Wait, are you trying to ask me out or something", Ela uttered.

"If that is what you think, then yeah, I am indirectly asking you out", I replied.

"You are so terrible at this, Mr. Young", Ela teases me.

My fingers were crossed as I was waiting to hear her response.

"Alright", Ela sighs, "Am sorry, but I cannot accept your offer, am already in a relationship with someone else, I cannot cheat on my boyfriend", Ela concluded.

"Alright, when will I", I paused, "You have a boyfriend, whoa, that is alright, no hard feelings", I lied even though it really hurt me?

I was expecting a yes from her, but it was just a waste of time. I could not believe that this girl made me Young, bring myself down to her level only to be snubbed and played like a joke.

Not only that, but I was not going to let her go, not at this stage, not when all my hopes were up against my emotions. All I knew was that I would get her on my bed, that's all.

So, like every other heartbroken man would have said, I just said those words only to make her think I would leave her, and we will just be friends but no, I would not just back down, I am a billionaire, and I am going to own you because to me, I am like a Demi god.

"That is cool, at least we are still friends, right", I uttered.

"Yeah, am cool with that and am sorry for what just happened, do not be mad at me".

She paused for a bit before adding, "Can you pick me up tomorrow, I will be attending a meeting by 10, so we could do a little bonding"?

What, is this girl kidding me, she wants to turn me into her pickup drive, for what, just because I said I would pick her up or what.

But I am sorry pretty, I can't be your cap drive unless, she agrees to go on a date with me, yes, at least if I cannot get her, I would rather make her fall for me indirectly.

And I can't be your personal driver, for what, is it because I own a Lamborghini.

I am nice and all, but when you say those words to me, it's like you are mocking me or something. A billionaire like me can't be your personal driver.

"Darn it, I cannot make it, but I can pay for your Uber", I said out of rage.

"That is alright, am not bothered if you can't make, I would love for us to go out for dinner after words and I would love for you to take me home like you did today" Ela replied.

Alright, this girl is already getting naughty, a normal person will know that she wants me to be her rich billionaire house boy, but no way am I losing the best friend's benefits scheme.

I am still going to catch her and make her boyfriend mad for letting her girl fall into the hands of a billionaire.

"Alright I would be there, but by which time", she hung on me without even hearing what I was about to say next.

At least I got a date out of it, I don't care if I had to spend a thousand dollars on her Uber fees, at least I had to make her mine for a short period of time.

So, I called my ex-girlfriend Rita, an Uber driver, and informed him of Ela. I gave her number to him and paid him to drop her off.

So far, things are going well, all I needed to do was to sleep and then attend our boring meetings as usual.

The thoughts of sitting in a chair for 20 minutes were hunting me, I could not believe that I would once again be swallowed by their boring talks, but who cares.

At least am still going to get her on my bed one day and give her a diamond ring or even a golden ring.

I slept off with joy in my heart and imagined tomorrow to be a peaceful and wonderful day.

[The following morning].

{At Young's mansion}.

I hit my personal gym, after hours and hours, it was around 11:42 am, then I decided to hit the road.

[At Young's companies conference].

The meeting was as boring as usual, the board of directors could not stop talking about how I almost got bankrupt.

They kept talking while I was just busy skimming through my Twitter account. I just realized that I have been offline for like 4 years.

I saw over 20 million notifications on my account and thousands of messages from people I did not even know. Suddenly, I checked my followers and goodness, I had over 20 million followers.

I never had an interest in social media, it was my first girlfriend, Jane, who convinced me to open a social media account. The only account I had was Facebook during that time.

In my trip to memory, lean remembered me of Ela. No, I have already forgotten about her, I did not even remember we had a date today. Well, I have to look in her best interest for her to fall for me.

Then it hit me like a stone, what if she's on any social media handles, I typed in her name and boom, there she was, Ela.

Her profile picture was beautiful, it was a picture of her when she was still young, I could tell through her face and her body structures that she was in high school at the time she created her Twitter account.

I checked the date of her profile and damn, she is a year older than me.

She was 25 this year while I was just approaching my birthday month that will make me 24.

Well, you know what they say, a matured lady has good taste and a matured mind.

I just realized that my first girl was 2 years older than me while Rita and I were age mate, the only thing there was that she was older of me by just 3 months.

The meeting went on for hours that I even slept off and when it was about to end, Alvarez woke me up, and I just acted like I had been paying attention when I was just busy dreaming of Ela.

I thought I was fooling them, not knowing I was just fooling myself.

After the meeting, they brought a contract for me to sign, and I showed Alvarez to briefly explain the content to me, as he was done, I signed it and ignored exchanging pleasantries with my partners.

Yes, I was proud and arrogant, and they would not dare withdraw from our partnership because if they did, I will make them crawl back to me, begging on their knees.

Every one stared at me as I walked past all of them, while Alvarez apologies on my behalf to the whole firm.

I stood outside waiting for that, my Spanish P. A, when he arrived, he started acting like a preacher.

"Sir", he said.

I gave him they don't care look, "Do not call me sir, call me Mr. Young, or I will make sure you are dismissed as my P. A".

I said with a bad attitude, putting him in the position to fear me.

"Sir, you have been acting weird and always sleeping in conferences, they all know you for that and all the pressure is too much for me to handle", Alvarez said.

I suddenly felt a little pity for the poor boy, well, his right, I have been slacking off and treating him badly, but it's not my fault, it's due to depression and loneliness.

So, I just acted like I did not care to speed things up, so I could be with my Ela.

"I will improve next time", I uttered, patting him softly on his back.

As I turned for my car, I discovered that it was damaged by another car, I yelped and clenched my fists, I almost punched Alvarez when he touched me.

"This is awful boss, what should I do", Alvarez asked.

I tilted down and tightened my clenched fist, with rage and anger in my heart, I was going to sue that bastard or that b***h who crashed into my car.

"Call me an Uber driver, make it quick and snappy".

Why was it now, now of all days I was on my way to approach my want to be girlfriend, why now, I lamented bitterly why thinking of what she would be doing if she gets there early before me.

I was already planning to get her some expensive accessories on my way there and beating her hours to our date, but it means I would have to be delayed, but even though.

I would still make it there and sue that bastard or b***h for crashing into my car.
