Chapter 2 Get a girl

chapter 2

Alexander stared at the garden while standing on the balcony, it been a long time since he spared a time of his to admire nature, he was too busy that he had no time for fancy. He was the CEO of 'Elenore Pierce.' Their family business which his father named after his mother, Elenore.

he turned back when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder, "what are you doing here alone?" It was his mother, he put on a smile on his straight face, he didn't want her to start bothering herself with his matters, "I'm fine mom."

"Hmm, I thought so." She smiled at him. Passing a glass to him, she took the nearest spot to him, "so I talked to your dad, he has no problem with you marrying Iris, so we should start the preparations soon." Seeing his face had no excitement she started, "Mother is doing everything she can to keep you happy, and here you are frowning your face. Your marriage to Iris can never be meaningless you know? Iris is everything you can ever wish for, she is pretty, how do you guys call it..." She put her hand under her Chin as to recall something, "Hot, Sexy... Name it, her father Is a special adviser to the state governor, she is well-groomed, well mannered and also she will listen to me, a daughter-in-law I can live well with, what else do you want?" She covered her face with her hands, acting like she wanted to cry.

"What did I do wrong to want something good?" Alexander rubbed her back lightly, he knew her tricks, she started her blackmail again, but she was his first love, his best mom, he had always listened to her since he was little, she usually picked his outfit for him even after he turned 20, even when he's 26 now, she still treats him like a child, he couldn't bring himself to break her heart by telling he wasn't interested in getting married, he would find another way out without having to hurt her and their family reputation.

"It's alright Mom," he continued rubbing her back. He looked at his watch, he had a meeting this afternoon, "Mom, we'll talk later, once I'm back, I have to go now."

"Come back early, the designer will be here to take your measurement for the engagement." She said.

Alexander shook his head, his mother will never change, " Mom, I can have that taken at any time. I'm not sure I'll be early tonight.

:::: In the office::::

Alexander walked fast with his assistant trying to meet up with him with a bunch of files in her hand, today he has a tight schedule, he wasn't sure of how to finish all the work he had, even though he was a workaholic, not sleeping for a whole night is not enough.

Once he opens his office door, the person in his seat turned the chair facing him, it was Daniel, with a bag of chips in his hand, and his legs crossed on the office desk. Seeing Daniel, Alexander raised his brow, he signaled his assistant to leave the file on the couch and leave.

"Daniel, you have your father's whole business, and you come here daily to disturb me, why?" He asked in a lazy tone.

"C'mon bro, I've always said to loosen up a bit, the air is free, feel the glitter," he picked the flower from the base, throwing it at Alexander, who smashed it under his feet.

Daniel shook his head, "Is this how you want to treat your wife to be?" Asked Daniel.

"I told you I'm not getting married, how simple's that?"

"That's why I'm here, I have a great idea, I think it'll work out, of course, if you are OK with it. Now take a seat, let's discuss.

Alexander walked to the desk pushing his friend's leg down, cleaning it with his hand, he put his hand closer to his nose, perceiving it before dusting both hands, "The next time I sight your filthy legs on my desk, I'll chop them off." He taps his friend's shoulder, signifying him to get up.

"Daniel, give my seat some respect, this is for the CEO alone, get it?" He sat on the desk, turning around before coming to a stop with a pen in his hand, "Now speak, I don't have all day."

"So I thought of it, your mother is bidding you out to Iris' family because she never saw you with a girl, you never got a girl home, she knows you're not committed to anyone, but what If you had a serious girlfriend? Not the ones you usually mingle with?"

"I don't have one Daniel, you know that."

"Dumb ass, I said what if. You're a clean freak and you're picky, it's hard to get a girl who would suit your taste, but I'll try. Anyway, I have a list of girls on my contact, pictures and all, just tell me which you would want, and I'll slide into her DM. Don't worry, they are all good actresses."

Daniel Daniel open his phone, checking for some pictures on his gallery, he passed it to Alexander, Praising each girl as he slides the screen, "Wow, she looks classy, she's also good In bed, I heard." He whispered his last words, "then I'll rather not go for a whore as my girlfriend," Alexander commented.

"But you go out with a lot of them?"

"Doesn't mean I can present them in public."

After some more minutes with him sliding, he got bored, "I don't think anyone here suits my taste. Look at their faces."

"Then I wash my hand off your problem, seems like you're Taking everything too seriously, you're going out with this girl, just a contract thingy, that's all." He picked the chips, eating a mouth full, "also, where did you go last night, When I came back, you already left."

Alexander remembered the girl from last night, he didn't realize when a smile appeared on his face, "Little fool." He said out loud, unknowing to him.

Daniel grinned and moved closer, forcing a chip In Alexander's mouth, "what is it? Who are you thinking of? Huh?" He raised his brow.

"Dani, the city Is not as it uses to be, why would a teenager work in a nightclub?"

"Maybe to earn some extra cash, the kids need money to spend on worthless wants."

"Hmm... OK. You may leave, I have extra work to do today."

After the office, when Alexander's driver was driving past the club, he ordered the driver to stop for some reasons which he couldn't point out. Once the driver stopped the car, he came out of the back seat and stood in the entrance, looking at the big light board that spelled the name of the place, 'CLUB EDGE ROOF' He Didn't feel like going in for a drink, he just wanted to confirm something, he took some steps forward, the security man bowed before him lightly with a smile, "Good evening sir," he ignored and went straight to the counter, seeing his rich clothing, a lot of girls had their eyes on him and one was brave enough to approach him.

She put her slender fingers I his shirt, skillfully removing the next two buttons after the first two which were already off, "Hey handsome, I'm at your service," she smiled, her eyes deepened with lust for him.

He removed her claw-like finger from his shirt, "I think there was a girl here yesterday, she's not so beautiful, looking like a teenager, about this height," he used his hand to measure on air, with his little description, she knew who he was talking about.

"Oh, that one, she was fired yesterday. Such a stubborn thing... She lost such a good offer, poor her." She tsked.

"Madam threw her out, I was beginning to wonder when she would be out of here, she works at a nightclub and still wants to act like a virtue woman, bitch."

She put her hand again on his chest, "forget her, do you have any interest in that simpleton? She's nothing, I'll take you to the heavens." He brought out some money from his pocket and handed it to her, "thank you for your information. I'll be leaving." And he left.

"Drive." He ordered the driver. As the car started moving. He couldn't take his mind off what the girl of a while ago said, she got fired? For what reason?! Trying to keep herself? And once the driver Comes to a stop, he asked him to leave, giving him some amount which would fare him home, "that's alright Mr. Patrick, I will take over from here. Tell my mom I went home." He said, the driver didn't object, he got out of the car, Alexander saw him leave before turning back with the car, he had no idea of where he was going, his heart was becoming restless, seeing that moving aimlessly eased it, it decided to loosen up, as Daniel had said.

Stopping at the entrance of an unknown street, he saw the familiar figure, it was the girl from last night, and he suddenly got down, making his way to her. Alexander had no idea why he was following her, jot that he cared if she got fired from her job, or maybe because he saved her, everyday people got fired from his company, It wasn't something new, he stood in front of her, the rain started pouring at the wrong time, with the lack of light, she thought the stranger must be crazy to stand in front of her In the middle of the evening like this, and the rain was going to wet her and the cake she got from Emily' house, she wanted to run into the shade but he held her wrist. Not of them standing under the rain while it soaked them from head to toe, he wasn't saying a word, maybe It was because his brain was not able to produce the next sentence.

"Hey, who are you? What is wrong with you men. Let me go!" She twisted her wrist in an attempt to free her wrist from his strong grip.

She was used to seeing weird men, it wasn't something new, but she was damn tired of having to repeat the same thing into their damn skull.

"What Is Wrong with you mister??"

"Hey," came a word from his deep voice, it felt like velvet. She remembered him after he spoke, the rude guy who made her lose her job.

"You! Leave me!" She ordered, but it only sounded like he was deaf, he just continued staring into her eyes which was already making her feel uncomfortable.

"I lost my job due to your foolishness, and here you are-" she raised her hand in an attempt to slap him which he seized on mid-air, "Hey, You want your hand chopped off?" He brought her hand closed to his lips, wanting to kiss the back of her hand and she forced her handoff.

"Men... I knew you wanted something, saving me and pretending to be a gentleman and also making me lose my Job, nothing good comes out of men who attend these types of places." She sneered.

"Such hypocritic words from you milady. And the ones who serve men from these types of places? Huh? They are commonly known for pleasing men." He blurted out and got a slap in return.

"How dare you? You're a spoiled brat with riches, I can see. But that doesn't give you the right to insult me because I'm not so classy and I work there, at least I never held any ill intentions."

Arian held hidden agenda on his face, the sting from the slap remained, for a spineless girl, her slap was hard.

He was boiling with fury, feeling the need to rip her apart, but his mother never bought him up to hit girls, he suppressed his anger, storming away, getting In his car. He drove closer to her and slower the movement of his car, both of them staring at each other before he speedily left, splashing the water on her.
