"Sir, the ex governor is waiting for you in the office." One of the executive whispered in my ears.
"Okay." I muttered still focused on Eloise. The despair in her eyes, made me unable to move. Her eyes was glowing red, and her body quivering. For some reason I felt like dragging her towards me, and hugged her pain away, but that would be impossible.
I curled my hand into fist, gulping all the hateful words that hug on the tip of my lips for Peter. Suddenly the other executive asked her to say her greetings to me. I glared at him, but his gaze was fixed at Eloise, he didn't met my death glare.
I veer slowly, staring at how confused she were, I could tell from one glance that she had no idea who the CEO was. She might still see me like the crazy man at the hospital.
When she greeted the wrong one, it made me smirk.
....
"I've been waiting two hours for you Mr Albert, why would you keep a governor waiting?"
Albert smirk and removed his jacket, placing it perfectly on his chair before siting.
"I had no idea you'd be coming. You did that to yourself governor."
"I was told you are nothing but a rude kid, so I came to check myself." The governor laughed, making him agitated.
"I see, so you've confirmed. I would like to know how that will make you win the coming election." Albert raised his brow and laughed out loud.
"I came to give you a firm warning, back out from the election now it's early. Leave it for men, you should try and prove to your father you can handle this company, not meddle in men's business, stay in your lane kid. It's the time to get a girlfriend and and go on dates, since you have a lot of spare time." The governor placed his hand on Albert's hair and raveled it.
Albert heaved his hand away.
"It's coward's like you, that spent their youthful years doing useless stuffs. If you aren't scared why did you feel the need to come threaten me? I know the people doesn't want you anymore as their governor. Is that why you are afraid, you know I will win against you. Or are you going ahead threatening all your opponents?" Albert smirked.
Suddenly they could year noises from outside, as if the staffs were fighting amongst themselves. Albert felt agitated, he expected his staffs to always be coordinated, especially now he had an important visitor.
"I see how you manage your staffs, they come to work to fight amongst themselves." The governor laughed. His gaze trailed Albert's office, he noticed Albert's awards hung on the wall.
"I see you've had many awards, impressive. Albert, how much is your price. It seems you are doing this for money. Maybe because you haven't paid your staffs, that's why they don't know when to misbehave."
"Get out of my company. You can't buy me, I'm doing this for the money? You and the other contestants combined, can't sum up to my bank account. So please leave." Albert gave him a dead glare.
"I'm leaving. I see you've made a lot of money for yourself, and at this age, you must be into something illegal." The governor scoffed. When he got to the door he turned to look at Albert.
"If you can't conduct your staffs, then how can you conduct the 12million people that reside in this state?"
Albert eyes narrowed as he watched the governor walked out of his office. He hit his fist on the desk. The noises from downstairs kept getting worse.
"Arrrghhh!" He shrieked and then swerved out if the office. He looked down and saw Peter protecting his mistress. Then he saw Eloise walking closer to him. He scoffed. He never expected that they'd be the ones causing so much commotion.
"What the hell is going on here?" He yelled and instantly she veered and their gaze met. Albert instantly became startled. One glance at her Albert lost his words.
