~~~~~ Universal Headquarters ~~~~~
"You have a meeting with the president in an hour"
"You have another meeting with the minister of affairs after that by 10 am, so you have a 30-minute break"
"The chairman wants you to accompany him for lunch when it's lunchtime, so I booked a reservation at Emerald's restaurant"
"After lunch, you have a meeting with Mr. Clovis and then you are free for the rest of the day."
"The Chairman also asked me to inform you about the wife you have to present to him soon, he said he awaits your response."
Danny, Elias's assistant explained and listed put the schedule for the day to Elias. Elias's pen came to a full stop when he heard the issue of his wife being mentioned, he dropped his pen on the desk and unbuttoned his sleeve's first button in irritation.
Elias is the CEO of Universal empire, a world-controlling business empire. He is the heir to the company and also the first son of the Josh family. He had pretty long lashes that framed his brown eyes with beautiful golden specks in them, Ash-blonde hair, and also possessed a face that made him look like a Greek god. He had pretty full heart pinkish lips, he had the appearance of a playboy.
"Have you found anyone suitable for the position of being my wife? It's almost a week already and I need to present a woman to him soon" Elias asked in a cool voice, a frown visible on his face.
"No boss, I haven't found anyone willing to act as your fake wife. They all want to marry you for real, I contacted Tiana the supermodel, Lucy of the prestigious Lu family, and also Carly the superstar but none was ready to do as you want." Danny explained opening his iPad to go through the lists of names left to be contacted.
"Do you think the people of the high class are short of money? Tiana has enough millions she doesn't need money, neither does Lucy nor Carly, who can you not know that? Contact someone who is in it for the money you dummy, I don't think I hired you because your IQ was this low" Elias spat out angrily, slamming his hands on the desk.
Danny made an 'o' sound with his mouth, it slipped his mind and he had made a horrible mistake. "Am so sorry master, I will get it fixed right away. I will Scott out a celebrity who needs money or fame right now" Danny muttered unlocking his iPad to furiously tap on it in search.
"I don't want any of those troublesome celebrities that will get me entangled in the news, find someone from the slurps or something like that" Elias pointed out running his hand through his hair in anger and exhaustion. He wondered why the old man had asked him to get married before he could get the properties that rightfully belonged to him.
"Yes master, I will get to it right away. The President has just arrived and is in the conference room, you have to go for the meeting now" Danny remarked when he received a notification informing him of the president's arrival, he raised his head from his iPad waiting for his boss's order.
"You may go, inform the president I will be there soon. I need to get rid of my anger and irritation now" Elias said waving his hand for Danny to get out of the office, Danny nodded and quickly walked out of the room closing the door with a clock sound.
After Danny walked out of the room, Elias stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window he glanced down at the ground from his office which was on the highest floor of the building. He groaned in anger and frustration, if there was one thing he hated the most; it was receiving orders from people.
He wanted the business empire so he had to do as the old man wanted, he received a threat from the old man a few days ago and now he was left in turmoil. After calming himself for 5 minutes he picked up the files on the desk and walked out his hair looking more properly arranged than it was before.
~~~~~
Everyone knew the CEO of the Universal business empire was a ruthless and cold man, he had no regard for anyone not even the president of the country. He was known for his heavenly looks and his demeaning self looking down on others, whenever he went to an event he always got swamped by women but they always got ran away from him after a few words from him.
He was known for his sharp tongue but above all, he was very mysterious to the people. No one knew anything about him.
~~~~~
After the meeting with the president and governor, Elias walked back into his office and sat on the chair throwing the files in his hands away in anger. He frowned as he closed his eyes to think, Danny quickly rushed into his office with a cup of coffee in his hands. "CEO here is your coffee" He stated.
Elias opened his eyes and accepted the coffee from Danny, he took a sip from the glass and immediately felt refreshed. "Do I have any other appointments soon? I need a break." Elias asked placing the coffee down on his desk.
"You have an appointment with the chairman, you have to meet him in twenty minutes. Luckily the restaurant isn't far from here, you can get there in 10 minutes." Danny muttered glancing through his iPad.
"Get the car ready," Elias ordered and he immediately nodded running out.
~~~~~ Emerald's Restaurant ~~~~~
Elias climbed down from his car with dark sunglasses in his eyes, he had worn a new set of black complete suits to have his meeting with the president. He gazed ahead and towards the building before striding towards it with Danny walking behind him, "The chairman is in the second cabin of the second floor, he is there with a few friends and old master Lu." Danny gave him the details of the people and their identities.
Elias didn't respond and continued walking and stopped, getting to the receptionist Danny stepped forward and handed her a black card. "The second cabin on the second floor sir" The receptionist muttered respectfully after seeing the card.
At that moment a waitress was walking towards the elevator with cups of hot tea on her tray in her hands, Elias walked towards the elevator too at that moment not paying attention to his surroundings but instead listening to his words of Danny.
Blam!
Elias bumped into the young waitress holding a tray full of tea in her hands, the cups of tea shot up and then fell from up and down on the both of them staining their clothes and pouring on them.
"Ah! what the hell"
"Am so sorry about that, are you alright?" Abigail questioned trying to clean up her clothes.
"Are you dumb or what? how dare you pour that on me? do you want to die?" Elias responded glaring at the woman, Danny was panicking from the shock.
"Am sorry sir, are you alright sir? Please pardon my impudence." Abigail uttered stretching her hands forward to wipe the dirt off his body.
"Get your filthy hands from my body, how dare you touch me with your sticky hand! impudent!" Elias yells drawing the attention of the people. He was acting like an overdramatic sissy.
