Chapter 18 - Meeting The Whispered Of Death

Beatrice waited for Luke, but to her disappointment he didn't show up, she went to bed because she was feeling tired from all the work today.

In the morning when she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face in front of her eyes, he had sharp eyebrows and a delicate face.

And with the sun shine shining on his beautiful face he looked extremely handsome, when she saw the face so close to her, she smiled and carrased the handsome face.

Luke wrinkled his eyebrows for a bit and opened his eyes looking into that beautiful blue eyes staring at him with so much warmth and love.

He was flabbergasted as he was confused, Why did she love him so much?, they were strangers a week ago, so how did she fall so hard for him.

He recognized that look too well, because he had looked at Linda the same way, so he was very much aware that, that look was a look filled with love and adoration.

He let her carasse his face to her heart content and just stared at her deep blue eyes in confusion.

"I have to go and prepare breakfast, you can sleep some more". Luke nodded, ,"Mmm".

She reluctantly stopped carrasing Luke's face and got up to go down stairs to prepare breakfast.

After she Left Luke was shocked at himself for how fast he had accepted eating Beatrice cooked food, he was very picky about eating home cooked food and only ate home food, cooked by his mother.

But he seemingly just accepted Beatrice cooking without any resistance which he found very surprising. He smiled wryly and got up from bed to freshen up and hold a conference meeting with his 12 board of directors.

Archman Group was completely under Luke's control he owned one hundred percent shares, no one owned any shares apart from him.

It might sound crazy but that's the current situation, he had started the company with 12 people. And now this 12 people were the face of Archman Group, they were only below Luke and his mom and above everyone else.

This gives them a lot of power, though they don't have any shares, they advice Luke on many decisions and were payed ridiculous amounts of money every month.

After the meeting, Luke came out of the sturdy but Beatrice was gone, there was breakfast on the table though.

He looked at the Bacon and eggs with hash browns, Oatmeal with fruits and nuts and Scrambled eggs with toast on the table.

When he saw the table he smiled without even noticing it himself.

Lucy looked at that smile and muttered "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach indeed"

"Diana taught her well"

After having his breakfast, John came to meet the remains on the table, he almost cried, he had just missed a free meal. They left the house and headed straight to Emotion Palace

Beauty Foundation HQ

Beatrice was in a meeting with the shareholders of the company, the atmosphere was tense, Harry Alan had just arrived in Gold Country.

He had contacted Beauty Foundation for a partnership worth billions of dollars, if it were any other day, they would have gladly accepted it. But with Beatrice marrying Luke the situation had become complicated.

Everyone in this room knew how long Harry Alan had tried to court Beatrice for but had failed. They all thought Beatrice was playing hard to get at first, but after she married an unknown stranger they knew Harry had no chance with Beatrice but to think he would bring a billion dollar partnership to them after all this, was suspicious. But business was business.

Beatrice was looking serious and non of the loving look she gave Luke could be seen, she wore a black suit looking very professional today.

An old share holder of the company who had started the company with Beatrice said, " it's not a bad deal, with the help of this partnership, our company will sore high.

If Mega Corporation wants to help us spread our influence whiles they also use this to enter the cosmetic market, is a win win for all of us."

Everyone nodded in agreement, the deal was simple, Mega Corporation wanted to enter the cosmetics market since recently it has been very lucrative, but they needed the help of Beauty Foundation who was a giant in that sector. This was a deal which both sides will benefit from.

Beatrice who had been silent the whole time finally spoke, " We will reject the partnership, tell them we are gratetfull, but we respectfully decline".

All of them expected this answer, though she was someone who put business above everything and doesn't let her private life interfere, it would be strange to partner up with someone who had once tried to court you, maybe this might be a trap, who knows. It was always better to play safe.

Back at Emotion Palace, Luke sat in his usual position. Everything has been quiet, after dealing with the previous customer fiasco, there had not been any customers after that.

Things was peaceful and calm, suddenly Luke narrowed his eyes and looked at the direction of the door.

A Woman with blond hair and a sexy figure walked in wearing a red sleeveless long dress, she looked hot and had a stunning face.

Though she looked beautiful, Luke could sense she was not as simple as she looked.

Her every move was as if it was calculated, with every step she took, she found herself in a position where she could defend herself from sneaky attacks.

Her eyes wondered around the cafe as if searching for an escape route if anything were to go wrong.

Luke looked at her with appreciation, that was what a proper assassin should look like, they don't come like this anymore sighh.

She stood in front of Luke and gave him a beautiful smile.

Luke also returned her smile with a smile,"how many I assist you today?"

"Nothing much I just wanted to find out one little thing and I will be on my way" she responded with a smile as well.

"Oh my, what does the beauty want to know?"

"How is this place related to the Chairman of Archman Group?" said Victoria still wearing her smile. She wasn't going to waste time on unnecessary questions.

Luke stopped smiling and stared deep into her eyes, she still had the same smile.

"Interesting, So let's say this place is indeed related to the chairman of Archman Groups, So What?" Luke asked with a playful look as he put his elbow on the table and carresed his cheeks.

"Oh my, that was easy, I thought we would have to do it the hard way, I didn't know you were such a darling", Victoria said with a fake look of gratitude.

Luke waved his hands, "I like to avoid stressful situations, so what do you need from him?"

"Nothing much I just want to take his life, it's not too much right?"

Luke looked at her nonchalantly this time, take his life, could she?, What a joke.

"You don't have to be so serious, it was just a joke, Now." Her expression changed from a playful one to a serious one she had never shown since she entered.

"I want to make a deal with him"

Luke glanced at her, his nonchalant expression changed back to a playful one again.

" And What kind of deal, does the Whisperer of death have for me".
