Haze
"Sir, we need to leave for the next meeting, "my assistant reminded me.
"I will be there."
I kept the directors, the managers and head of each departments to wait in the room and get ready for the meeting and the presentation which they will be presenting for our next project to improvise the product.
"And take this document, hand it over to the accountancy department and let them look through it again. It still needs mending and no loop holes this time. Also tell them to give the bookkeeping to you to check what's wrong with it," I sternly told the assistant, so she took the file with both hands and walked out the door.
I have been shut in the office days catching up for the missed out appointments.
I had postponed most works to spend more time with Leah, and now my schedules were hectic and compact.
The day before yesterday, he sent me all kind of his funny dressup and it was so cute of him. I still smile imagining him trying to be me.
Ah.. I would just love to strip him of his cloth and hover over him, then promptly kiss his sweet lips. Him begging me to take over him under me, grope his cute ass, placing kisses on him, roughly taking him in, as he moans feeling the pleasure as I penetrate him and.....
No. I groaned irritated. My fantasy has been growing out of control. I yearn for him, his whole world.
I need to focus.
I am done with more than half of it and few more to go so I can create more free time.
I headed off from my office and to the 28th floor. All the office workers got back to working and stop chit chatting in a hurry.
I don't like it when the personal life are brought to the work. They know how my temper works when the task on hands are procrastinated before my eyes.
My business time meant only business.
"This are the projects which are going to be presented at this meeting," my assistant caught up with me, handing me two files.
I flipped through it, scanning bit by bit. I didn't have the time to waste on one particular point, and only analysing the main points.
"After the meeting, we are finally done with the major appointments and left with few more files to go through." She kept up with my phase, while I finally entered the meeting room.
"Let's begin with the presentation," I took my sit in the middle of the room, the slides were projected on the screen.
The employee mounts the stage and starts the meeting.
"The stock market has grown over the month so the shareholders and sales manager have already agreed on to produce another product of gaming products. This gaming console and the sets have set in the market, so rising the price is reasonable enough to increase our profits. According to the thorough research done, it shows that the changes and fitback we received says that it has to produce more features and smoother, and more realistic visuals, more complex and all round sets are also provided."
"Stop," I finished checking the files, so I concluded, "I agree that your records of trransaction and data are up to the standard, but not as an information that is required for the upcoming release of its softwares. Your research are just limited to only those expert users and wealthier people. Put those complexity aside for a second.
Changing the slides, I focused on the part which needs amending.
"This project needs to be globally reached, not just for fiancial transaction before it even reached the peak. First we provide them much less and not jump over to the lastest updates. I can see you have put more effort, and it is excellent.
The problem is that you need to exterminate the consumption of storage and start the progess to creating more than just consoles by now. This will take a further unique creation for multipurpose uses.
Just focus more on making it more interesting apps for now. And leave the sets to be created more compatible by the IT groups.
Either you hand these main project to them or . I will check the rest when they are done, tell them to show me the draft creation within three days."
The project will be marked down to be taken over by the different department.
So we can now move onto the second project of the market products that needs to change.
It went on for hours in the silent room, until then my phone vibrated. I'm in the middle of the meeting here that sister of mine disturbing me again.
"Don't you think slower progress might hinder the sale of production? We must escalate the releasing date to ensure meeting public's expectations."
"Have you considered the other department if you rush things?"
"Is this how your company manages meetings? No wonder your previous project failed. You were even sly enough to avoid paying us the compensation."
He can guess he was the new upstart CFO from 'Devine'.
"Well then," I focused on him, leaning away from him bored, "what do you know about it?"
He got proactive, babbling whatever he knew. "We heard your IT department has done a crooked job managing the coding and didn't even check twice before launching it on his own. Public got illegal access to those apps and ended up causing ruckus."
He's childish to think I haven't known what happened. Ever since, he has been trying to get on my nerve. "Then did you know that it confirmed our draft working is a success."
"And that's of it?" He doesn't realise the trouble he caused.
"The employee who released it was not ours. It's from yours, not your father's isn't it?"
His posture leaned forward expecting me to explain further.
"For a while, I've known there was embezzlement in your company and because of your lack of funding, your oversea contract got terminated. To make up for that, you took matter on your foolish hand and rack money from mine. Don't you think it's time you confess it?"
The members began to whisper mumbling not daring to speak out.
"Your father handed out more than 60 percent of the sharehold to our in return to spare you. He's smart unlike you. You still got three more companies so there's nothing for you to fear. But for breaching the contract, you'll be cut of from our project."
He never got the chance to retorted back in the midst of everything.
"Who's going to take my place then? It's not possible to replace me you know that." He don't learn. At all.
"She'll take it." Another figure entered to see him walk in.
"Father? What ar- big sister? When did you-?" "Shut up you foolish child. I let you decide and grow but then you had to mess things up? You should be ashamed."
He called in the guards to take his son with them.
"Mr. Bankston, I'll be providing public services for the next three month, demotion from your post and no more payment from me for a year. So learn to repend on your action."
"Dad!" "It's Mr.Anderson, Mr.Bankston. I'll be taking over for you from now on. Do you know how much of a hassle it was for me to leave my fashion programme in the middle of it?" She was more professional like compared to her foolish brother.
When everything settled down, he bowed before me asking for forgiveness.
"We're so sorry about the trouble we caused. I hope you can forgive us."
"I would keep an eye on him if I were you." He's one of the long-standing partner of my company since father's reign and knows what really goes in and out of our companies. He wouldn't dare turn his back on us.
"Right," he flashed business smile, walked out fully understood, I meant no game or there was no second chance.
Gray escorted him out to his car, while Ms. Harris remained to carry on with the meeting.
"It would have been my pleasure to meet you in person if we met in better circumstances Mr. Haze Steven." She brought her pale hands forward for handshake which for formality took it but she kept holding it longer than needed.
"Let go." "Ah, sorry I didn't realise it. I was mesmerized with you." She's making her move on me.
Those sibblings are really making my mood sour.
"Ahem..." Everyone in the room felt the discomfort of my temperament which I cannot help but glare.
"Shall we?" She annoyingly flicked her hair, pursing her lips, gaining attentions from other members. Not that I care what she does on doing unless it'll cause me trouble.
Since the board members didn't want to get my attention during my bad mood, they quickly gone along with the discussions from earlier. Good thing she's all in for business when needed.
Brr. Brr..
One after another, it keeps on coming.
I checked the name, my annoyance replaced by excitement.
"How about this one?" He sends.
"Ha." I smiled looking down at my screen. Also, they were good to handle it on their own.
"..when did you take that pic??" I saw the me mermaid sleeping on the mat while my angel took a selfie.
"When you were fast asleep, and you refused to come play with me." This little angel knows how to mess with me, not that I mind it.
"Just you wait. I am going to punish you when I return." Punishing him on the bed. I'm a bit aroused now, seeing him in my oversized shirt.
"You won't be back so soon. You said it yourself. Haha. I'm going to run and this time you won't catch me. Yay!" Is he that happy to see me gone?
"When I do, I am going to crush you with my hug... I already miss you."
He didn't instantly reply, eventually he did, "well, I will wait."
My happiness ranged up when he said he didn't hate me. For now, I'm glad to know that.
"Ahem."
I was so engrossed with Leah that I forgot that I was still in the meeting and the presentation was already done few minutes ago.
All eyes were glued to me, totally focused on my screen.
"Are you alright?" Ms. Harris raised her brows, suspiciously scanning my face.
I coughed, "That's it then.... DO anyone of you mind?"
"N-not att all.." Their posture became timid and shocked.
This is my first time I ever got caughed not paying attention, still no one said anything. They wouldn't say a word even if they wanted to cause I can shut it close.
I walked out, grinning and smiling at what he send. He said he misses me too. I guess my days are not far from turning into reality.
When he finally admit, I won't spare him any more excuses to run. He will finally belong to me. And then I will reveal him the truths. I'm lying to him, but it was for his own safety. I won't risk his life. That's why he has to stay in my reach. He needs to be totally protected, my frail Angel
My driver drove pass the restricted area and into the deserted place.
"We retained the guy under our custody, boss," Grey reported the moment I entered the under constructed building.
"Good, where is he now?" My hands were itching to break some bones or bang their skull out, and bathing in their blood. Today didn't go well as I thought it would and I need to let my steam off.
"In the chamber. Haven't layed a hand, as ordered."
"Even better." I praised, now I can kill some time, and enjoy the sweet terrified screams of the guy.
The construction stopped the moment I ended up slicing someone head, so I guess I took the area under someone else name to do what I like.
"Well well," I chuckled as he struggled to get his tied limbs to loosen, "won't you tell me, Trevor? Where is your twin brother?"
He only gave me hateful glares and gritt his teeth. He was sweating a lot.
"I ask you one more time," this time, more aggressively pulling his hairs and demanding, "where. Is. Taylor?"
He's scared, I can smell it from miles away, still he said nothing.
"Then have it your way." I kicked him in his gut down on the dirt, breaking the wooden chair which he was tied on, knocking air and blood from, he burked nasty food back.
He withstood my kick, curling and groaning in pain and agony, bitting his scream down.
"Argh...ah!" He mourned. Few more lashes and he'll be a goner.
"Good, you manage to survive this. Most would have suffered a major internal bleeding in the chest." I took the handful of his hair in my grip and pulled him up to stand. I let his hands and legs free.
"How about you try to fight me back. It's boring to see myself win so easily." I mocked. And I kept my front an opening.
He took the baid and flung his fist to hit my stomach, so I hit him at his face bleeding his nose. I feel on his knees, holding his nose as his pain tormented him. I gave an ax stomped on his chest, pushing harder on the wounded spot.
He cried. No one will hear him anyways.
I can choose any weapons in front of me, but I want to take me sweet little time breaking the mind of this shit.
He got me off guard when he attacked me with the dagger which he got hold of one, but too bad he acted soon. I got hold of his wrist and antecubital space behind his elbow twisting his arms knocking the weapon from his hands, strangled him over the ground as he screamed blue murder.
It went on for an hour or so. He didn't speak a single word, but that's fine. I have other means to get the information out of him. If not, I can use other tactics.
I slided his wrist, execeedly bleeding but letting the doctor to treat it and again stabbed him with the Molan Labe Engraved Military Knives on his thigh, his disfigured hand bones fractured due to physical strain and inflicted multiple blows damaging his good looks.
Now he won't even dare flaunt his dirty, broken face. He was the one who provoked me, saying he dirtied my angel with those hands, that filthy hand tainted my innocent angel. He's lying but that doesn't give him the right to spit worse about him.
I won't kill him, yet.
I choked his wind pipe, he grabbed my wrist to get it off. I aren't letting him go that easily, nor am I going to let him die.
I let him take a breathe and I moved to the door, gradually phasing back and forth bored. He's of no use to me.
I just miss my angel so much.
"Hey babe, have you gone to bed yet?"
It's almost night for him, so I am worried that I might be disturbing his sleep.
It took longer than usual and my phone buzzed again.
"No babe, I was thinking about you. our distance is so far that my heart is breaking.... I miss you." I got a lot of faces. This is not how my angel would says.
He would shyly give me reply and this one is too pesky and clingy.
I wickled grimaced, knowing how to handle pesky pest like them.
"Return the phone to my Angel. If I dare see you doing this again, your corpse will never be found ever again. I, personally will make sure to cook your body alive and feed the wolves. If not, I will skin your whole body, or burry you alive 100 feet underground in the graveyard.
Or amputate those hands of yours and let you have it. Maybe I will be kind enough to feed you raw human meats as your meal. If we ever meet face to face, say goodbye to your life. And dare to speak anything about this to my angel, think you are dead🔪."
I warned the person on the other side who is not my angel. Since they send me many of those faces, I can do a favor and send them a knife as my thanks.
"Did something happen? They looked like they saw a god of dead, the grim reaper with his scythe hanging over their head." They must have deleted the text. Smart choice.
Instead of texting, I wanted to hear his sweet voice. If possible, I would have chosen to do a video call. But not here.
"Hi. It's nothing. I just told them not to mess with you." No one can ever mess with you. First they have to get thought me.
"How did you know it was not me?" Oh you can't underestimate my love for you.
"You never say words so causally as that. Even those emojis. What's with that? Are you alright? Who were they?"
"They were... my friend? They know about us. So, they wanted to talk with you."
Friends? I will take care of them later. Let's see if they pass being his friend or not.
"How did they came to know?" I will get to the bottom of it.
"We were playing a game....and."
"And?" I repeated.
"No-Noth-ing!" He yelled stuttering. It sounded different.
"?? Are you alright? Do you need to see a doctor?" He must be getting sick!
"No-o that's all right! I am fine! I am healthy as ever! And when are you coming back?"
"Umm. I think it will take me a while." I wish I could stay longer talking with him, but that dirt had to destroy my moment.
"But don't worry. I will soon be back. I got to go, bye angel." I had to hang up the call before my angel hear anymore of his annoying grunts. Leah would have found if not for shutting his mouth with my free hand.
"Let's get back to action, shall we?" I cracked my knuckled and my neck, getting ready for more torture.
Then I will think of returning soon to my angel.
Home sweet home.
