Chapter 4 Four

DAMIEN

I stared tiredly at the files in my hand. I've been working for hours non-stop, and I think my brain was beginning to get tired. I glanced over at my table clock, and saw it was almost 3pm. I haven't even had lunch yet. It got me wondering, why Alex and Ridder haven't come to drag me to lunch.

I just shrugged it off and continued with work, I was not bothered anyway. Almost immediately as I went back to work, my office door went open and in came the devils. I rolled my eyes. I was not ready for their drama.

"And there goes the popular CEO of Blackwell holdings" Alex exclaimed, stressing on the "CEO"

"What do you guys want?" I asked coldly, not glancing up from my computer.

"It's almost as if you don't want us here. You just hurt my feelings" Rider said, clutching his chest dramatically as he sat down on one of the chairs in front of me. Someone, remind me why I even have friends.

"It's almost past lunch time so we came to get you. We would've came earlier, but we were a little busy ourselves" Alex added

" Must you guys disturb my peace and drag me out with you everyday? Can't I just eat alone? " I asked them, tired of even talking already

" Is that why you ditched us and ran away to that bar the other night?" Alex asked giving me this look that says " I'm still angry about that"

" He went off to enjoy all the beautiful bitches of Chicago city", Rider said while crossing his leg on my table. I gave him a dirty side eye, and he immediately dropped his legs.

" I wasn't out enjoying any bitches. I just needed space away from you two. You know I enjoy my solitude" I replied to them while still typing away on my computer.

" Tch... As if! Well..... we can't leave you be, If we leave you, you'd skip meals, and then you'll end up sick, and then you'll end up worrying frail old Nana" Alex replied me

"She's my nana not yours. Moreover that old woman is the one that'll end up slowly killing me" I said.

"What do you mean?" Rider asked.

"She said, and I quote " If you don't want to pick up my dead body then you'd better find how to get married In 15 days and bear me great grandchildren or I swear I'll disown you and strip you of your entitlements. I can't keep covering for you any time the board of directors ask when their CEO will take up life responsibilities" I replied to them, trying to mimic my Nana's voice with my thick voice.

They both chuckled in amusement. I don't know why my Nana worries about the board of directors anyways, I own 50% of the shares in this company.

"So?? Look for one in 15 days!" Alex said

"Are you a dummy? How do I get to meet a new woman, fall in love with her, and then marry her all within 15 days. Besides you know I hate women. They're all gold diggers''

" Just because Carol broke your heart, doesn't mean all women are gold diggers" Alex replied, shaking his head.

"What about Mirabel? They're all the same"

" The one before Carol? Man!! You just don't have the eyes to look for good women" Alex replied to me while chuckling. I just rolled my eyes and dropped the files I was going through.

"Then get a contract wife. That way there will be no strings attached" Rider suggested, speaking for the first time after watching me and Alex go back and forth for a while.

I thought about it for a while and I think he was making sense. I could just get a girl who would pretend to be my wife just for a couple of months and then I divorce her.

I'll come up with the excuse of being heartbroken to remarry soon and my nana would let me be. I smiled at the thought.

"You know rider, for once in your life you're making sense" I said standing up and patting him on his shoulders. I followed them out with the thoughts of who would fit perfectly into the role.

A particular red haired woman came into my mind, the woman I sat with at the bar the other night. but I had no way of contacting her, I only met her at the bar and she was too drunk to even know who I was.

She seemed genuine, amusing infact, she would've worked fine. I just can't say for sure if she wasn't like other women. I was disguised as a nobody so there was no way she could've recognized me.

Alex suggested we try out a new restaurant that opened a few days ago just a few blocks away from the company. As we were walking out l, every employee we came across bowed their heads in respect.

The males trying to get things in order at the sight of us while a lot of the females threw flirtatious smiles towards us, in a bid to get our attention.Alex gave them the attention they sought, Rider threw a few waves here and there but I completely ignored them. Women would always be women.

Soon afterwards we got to the restaurant and we pushed the doors open and found a table in a secluded part of the restaurant. We sat waiting for someone to come and take our orders. Whispers flew here and there at the sight of us. I hate this!

I took out my phone and started scrolling through it, checking my emails for any new messages. I saw a few which were mostly work related. Someone approached us, wanting to take our orders but I didn't bother to look up from my phone.

"Hi and welcome to Yummy tastes. My name is Scarlett and I'll be taking your orders"

My fingers stopped scrolling for a bit. That voice, there's something so familiar about the voice. Like I've heard it somewhere before. I looked up from my phone and my eyes came in contact with this brown eyes and that red hair.
