Chapter 3 The argument

What do you mean by that?" Blake asked, surprised at his seriousness " Are you cursed?, Must you always Chase after everything in skirt?" Raymond said " Not a proper way to talk to your brother" Blake said , arching a brow "that's if the brother is behaving like a real brother, not a sex god" Raymond replied flatly " And why are you taking it all personal cos of her? " Blake said " She is my secretary, and like I said, don't try shit, I mean it" Raymond said Blake laughed as he stood " Well let's see if she won't fall for my charm herself, I'm not only a sex god, I'm also the king of seduction

" he said and winked before leaving his office Raymond inhaled hard before concentrating back on his laptop * * Raymond's office door opened and Emery spranged up, thinking it's her boss but he turned out to be Blake She sat and kept her head down. Blake stood in front of her desk "Look up" he said She slowly looked up "So you're not only curvy but pretty, nice" he said and smiled before taking out a cigar and lighter from his chest pocket He lightened the cigar and puffed on it, blowing the smoke out of his nose Emery had to cover her nose "If I still remain Blake Crown, fucking your ass won't be a problem" he said and grinned before leaving " What's that pervert saying?" She wondered, fanning her nose with her hand to get rid of the cigar smell Glenn came with the files Raymond talked about earlier "Girlfriend, how many times has he yelled at you? " Glenn asked Immediately she got to her desk "Yell at me?, He hasn't, and he even said I did a good job in the files selection" she replied " Really?, He said that?, Lucky you, you got in his good book on your first day, wait... Why aren't you using the laptop? " Glenn asked " Do I have to use it? " Emery said ignorantly "Gosh, of all the things I thought you, why do you have to forget this?, Of course it's the most important thing, his schedules will be forwarded to it and you'll have to print it out and take it around so you'll remind him of everything... And then you can browse ideas from the laptop and make good use of it, then his presentations, you'll have to know everything about it... He's full of surprises, you can't get yelled at" Glenn explained " Thanks best, I'll quickly do all that right now" she replied "And while doing all that, be careful, he hates mistakes, I guess he won't tell you that, he'll be waiting for when you'll make a mistake so he can punish you" Glenn said " I'll be careful , thanks for this Glenn" she hugged her Glenn dropped the files " Give them to him" she said "No, I'll have to access them first and select before giving him the selected ones" she replied " Wait.. you mean... You accessed files for him in the morning?" "Yes, that's why i told you he said I did a good job, I think he's impressed, that's why he told me to access and select the best ideas from these too before bringing it" Emery replied " Lucky you... Like seriously he has never allowed anyone to do that.... Ok enough, sex god might come here yelling my name anytime soon" she said and quickly left... Emery smiled charmingly before looking at her phone again "Why is Jerry not calling?" She wondered... She remembered she has things to do She quickly printed out his schedules and also took a look at the presentation he's having tommorow He hasn't dropped any note about it yet She stood and went inside his office to submit the selected files He's resting on the chair... With his eyes closed, he looks sweet! "Maybe he's truly handsome" she thought silently He opened his eyes slowly " Yes Emery?" " The files" she said and dropped them He adjusted his tie and checked them out "Have you worked somewhere as the secretary of a big company before?" He asked, looking up at her " No sir, this is my first" she replied "But how come you work like an experienced professional?, Look you picked the right files I'd have picked" he said " I studied economics sir, and I'm quiet good" she replied slowly " I have a presentation tommorow, you should have seen it on your laptop, send me a memo to remind me of it this evening" he said " Your...your number sir" she said " Check the laptop, it's the first in the list of essentials" he said, closing his eyes again " Yes sir" she replied and left the office She got to her office and sat , she later smiled "I'm good to go!" ****** Evening*** Emery and Glenn walked out of the company together after an hectic day "What should we eat this evening?" Glenn asked "Salad and chicken" Emery replied " Sure, I'm just glad you made it on your first day, now you see you're not jinxed, it's just a matter of time" Glenn said Emery kept mute, staring at her phone " Why?" "It's Jerry, I miss him, he hasn't called and his line is off too" she replied sullenly " Are you dumb?, How can you still worry about a guy you call your boyfriend but he doesn't know how you eat, how you sleep or cope!, Emery wake up!, The guy is a...." Glenn stopped " Glenn" Emery said slowly " Sorry...I was just too pissed....to me he looks like a cheat Emery" she finally said " No Glenn, he loves me a lot, he can't possibly cheat on me you know, maybe he's just busy" she defended again " That again?...look I'm tired if it, sorry to say but let's talk about some other things...oh!, We're gonna get you some dresses, let's stop by a boutique" Glenn said he as they stopped a cab... * * Emery took the stress as nothing, she walked all the way to Jerry's house and inhaled hard when she finally got there She knocked on the door The door opened, revealing Jerry, he's shirtless and his trousers is lacking belt, making it a bit zagged He looks out of breath too, like he's doing something inside And the look on his face shows he's not happy to see her "Jerry it's unfair, you won't call and you won't pick my calls if I call, then today your phone was off throughout, you aren't like this before" she complained " And I told you it's because I'm fucking busy!, You don't expect me to always be available!" He yelled She took in her lower lip and hugged him tight "Don't yell at me...it hurts, if I've offended you, we can sort it out amicably" she said on his chest He broke the hug and kissed her lightly on the lips "I love you Emery, but you need to understand your boyfriend, I've been busy these days" he said *Did you get a job?" She asked "Yes, as a supplier though, and it's been hectic" he replied " Great, I got a job as a secretary at Crown empire too" she replied " Great dear...em,you know what?, I'll come see you tomorrow* he said "Promise?" "Promise, I love you, bye!" He said hurriedly and went in Emery smiled widely before heading home.. * * She got home and thought about Raymond's presentation tomorrow "Let's see if I can compose anything about the topic" she thought She picked a pen and a plain sheet of paper She found herself writing endlessly about that particular topic for over an hour She finished writing and read it to herself "I'm still as good as I can remember" she smiled Her eyes widened "Oh!, He told me he send him a memo!" She picked her phone and quickly texted him the memo * * Blake puffed on his cigarette with immense pleasure, thinking about Emery The tiny curves he has always wanted to fuck He hasn't fucked something like that before but if he succeeds in fucking her, it'll sure expand his horizon He kept thinking of which style will fit her Doggy?, Cowgirl?, Or wheelbarrow? He laughed at his naughtiness "Let's just wait and see... and as for Liz, I think it's time to make her scream my name, my d**k is hungry for her Pu**y" he thought, taking another Puff * * Raymond feels great headache throughout the evening, he didn't even eat half a spoon of the meal made by the maids No appetite at all "This persisting migraine" he thought hurtfully It's the only problem he has in his life since his dad's death, the headache comes and go the way it likes And maybe drugs is not it's mate cos no matter the drug or medication, it still persists He held his head tight and climbed upstairs to his room He fell on the bed and it only increased The migraine only reminds him of when his dad died of stroke, he was having a strong migraine that day when his dad died of stroke on a wheelchair Tears came out of his eyes He took his phone and managed to dial Liz's number She picked after several rings "Hey boo boo!" She shouted "Liz, can you come over now?, Please?' he said weakly "Why?, I'm out with my friends having fun" she replied like someone really having fun " I'm having the migraine again and it's just as unbearable as it used to be" he said " Call the maids baby, just tell them to give you pain relievers... I'll see you at the office tomorrow..bye! , Love ya!" She hanged up Immediately The phone slipped on the bed and and voluntary tears came out of his eyes His temperature is so high A message entered his phone but he doesn't even have the strength to check till the pains made him sleep off at midnight . * * Next morning** He woke up feeling better, the migraine is gone thanks to the sleep that took it away He entered the bathroom and had a cool bath He dressed up for work, looking as handsome as ever He grabbed his car key and went out of the house, driving to work His eyes suddenly widened, almost making it pop out of their sockets "The presentation!" He drove faster and got to work in a matter of seconds .. He went in with his guards that are already waiting for him They trailed behind him "And worse, the presentation is by ten, this is past eight, damn!" He thought He went straight to Blake's office The idiot is smoking early that morning "You're definitely one hell!, Of a guy!" He said " I don't care, hell is made for humans anyways" Blake replied " Bro please, can you take over the presentation?, I didn't prepare" he said Blake laughed " You talk as if I'm prepared too, you know this hell! Of a guy here isn't good at presenting..you better go cram before the difficult to satisfy board members arrive" Blake mocked "fuck you!, Go to hell!" Raymond spat, leaving his office in annoyance He walked angrily to his office "Good morning sir" Emery greeted but he ignored and went into his office "Why is he cold this morning?" She wondered, heading to the coffee machine She brewed his coffee and took it to his office He's pacing round his office She dropped the coffee on his table "I'm not in the mood for coffee!, Don't you have eyes!" He yelled "I'm...I'm.. "And I think I told you to send me a memo about the presentation" he said " I did* she replied "Oh, I was in pains last night so I won't even notice if she did" he thought " This company will be greatly affected if the presentation fails, this has never happened before, I haven't written anything about it .. oh geez!" He ranted She went out of his office slowly and got the one she wrote yesterday She went back into his office "Boss...I don't know if you'll be able to manage this, ..I kind of.. composed it last night" she said He smirked " How do you expect me to present what you wrote?, You think you're smart huh?" He said rudely She kept mute " I'm sorry sir" she said slowly He inhaled hard before changing his mind "Let me have a look" he said She handed it over and he glanced at it His eyes widened " You wrote this?" He said "Yes sir" she replied slowly He hid his surprise and sat The time is some minutes before nine "You can go" he said She left the office Honestly he's impressed but he felt like he doesn't need to praise her again Bigger than his ego He studied it, thanks to his retentive memory It's soon some minutes before ten She entered the office with some files "Time for the presentation sir" she said He stood and wore his suit He walked by his side to the conference room where the board members are already sitting Emery sat beside his seat and he stood regally "Morning everyone, I'll be talking about how to make an empire grow" Raymond said , standing up He stood gallantly in the front and started in earnest Emery kept smiling He crammed it well But some lines towards the end, it seems he forgot a word He got stuck and almost stopped talking "Proficient" Emery said silently, making sure no one noticed Luckily he got it "Yes... and hiring proficient workers... it's the most important in building a good empire... thanks for listening" he said, rounding off He waited for the board members reaction They stared at each other and suddenly started clapping Emery smiled "He did it" she muttered "Good presentation Mr Raymond" the chief board member said " This company might be skyrocketing to the top three next week" another one said Raymond smiled widely as they shook his hand The presentation ended successfully Back in the office** Emery got a message on her laptop from him *Come in* She quickly went inside his office He's sitting in front of his laptop She stood in front of him "Thanks" he said, not looking at her "Huh?" "I won't say it twice, you heard me and you know why I said that..the presentation wouldn't have ended successfully if not for you" he said, finally looking up " It's nothing sir" she replied with a smile " Come" he said " Sir?" " Do I need to get a microphone to speak to you now?, Come here I said" he said She went beside him He's doing something on his laptop , checking out the company he wants to take the next contract with "You're too close, take a step back" he said She obeyed " Good...check out the company we can choose" he said, scrolling up She checked them out " Just the buildings sir?, Don't we need to check out what they can do?" She said He smiled " Good... never knew your IQ is as high as that...... Almost immediately, Liz entered the office and the look on her face when she saw Emery beside him can kill Especially with her glaring tiny curves and pretty face "Who are you to stand that close to my Raymond!" She yelled in anger, coming closer She raised her hand to give her a slap and Emery closed her eyes, expecting the daze but felt nothing She opened her eyes and saw Raymond holding Liz's hand "Raymond" Liz said unbelievably, he has never stopped her from doing that before "She's different from Cici,... Your palm must not make contact with her face Liz... I'm serious" he said bluntly
