Marcus POV
'Gallas future Tech corporations building '
Marcus was sitting in the office, and his face was buried on a laptop on the desk.
The CEO's office was a masterpiece of modern luxury. As you step in, sleek marble flooring guides you toward an expansive desk crafted from rich, polished wood. Plush chairs feature subtle yet elegant gold accents that provide both comfort and sophistication. Towering windows showcase a panoramic view of the vibrant cityscape below.
Adorning the walls is a carefully curated artwork, each investment in creativity and success. A six-foot tall glass shelf with golden characters and inscriptions by the sides holds numerous awards and accolades a testament to his dedication, competence, and achievements.
Beyond the main workspace, a discreet and tastefully designed private area offers a serene retreat for moments of relaxation or confidential discussion. A meticulously appointed restroom ensures comfort with high-end fixtures and thoughtful amenities. This office is a testament to the CEO's refined tastes and unparalleled achievements, capturing the essence of contemporary elegance and success.
The office's telecom buzzes distracted Marcus from his work.
"Hello, sir Mr. Richard is here to see you", a female voice sounded from the other end. This was Sarah Marcus's secretary who reported Richard's arrival.
"Send him in and also bring along the file containing our transactions with Polar Corporations " Marcus replied.
Some seconds later, the door to the office opened, and two persons entered Richard and Marcus's secretary. Walking towards the desk Sarah placed the file, Marcus requested that she deliberately drop her pen on the floor she turned around to pick it up her back facing Marcus.
Sarah is a very endowed young lady with a perfect figure, she has a round ass that was not too big or small just the right size any man would love to possess, and her succulent breasts were firmly held behind her bra. She was putting on a skirt that stopped a little bit below her thighs, exposing her long sexy legs, and her face also carries a beautiful smile that tends to endear people to her.
Sarah was the epitome of beauty one that was sexy, wild, and seductive. She has tried all means to get Marcus's attention since she began working as his secretary two months before the previous secretary was fired by Marcus to allow Victoria inside the office to wait for him after he instructed her not to allow her close to his space again.
Marcus's head was still buried in his work, hardly noticing Sarah's tricks. Richard his throat turned to Sarah flashing his killer smile he spoke "Thank you for your service miss, may I have the honor of knowing your beautiful name".
Sarah smiled sheepishly trying to respond to him before Marcus interrupted harshly
"Get back to work Sarah" he intoned.
Turning to Richard he continued "This is An office, not a place to pick up girls or exchange pleasantries "
Richard grinned before responding to Marcus "Come on buddy I just wanted to know her name and also you didn't tell me you had such a sexy secretary, no wonder you are always occupied with work, who wouldn't be with such a chick by the side".
Marcus glared at Richard, "Enough with your jokes am too busy for your gibberish"
Richard still smiling mischievously sat on the chair facing Marcus he said "Don't tell me you don't find her attractive, anyway that's your loss am catching up with this chick".
Marcus fully distracted from his work stood up from his sit and moves towards the fridge he opens and picks up a bottle of water and uncorks it and drank the whole content tossing the can into the waste bin by the side, turning to face Richard he replies "you take your chicks picking games far from my office, I don't want any of my staff slacking off in their work and duties due to their relationship with you"
Richards raises his hands pretending to be unaware of what Marcus was saying
"am not guilty as charged my lord," he replies with a smirk on his face.
"Why not round off with work let's head out so we don't miss out on the pole dance performance I heard that they are very enticing and enthralling and also you got to spend the night with one of the girls if you they pick interest in you" Richard responded.
Marcus glances at his wristwatch and discovers it's already 6:30 pm; most of the company staff must have left except those who have extra work and targets to complete and the security men on night shifts.
"Just give me thirty minutes to round off this proposal, the deadline is fast closing in, and I need to nail this deal," Marcus said to Richard.
"is there any need to work so hard when you have the Almighty Gallagher empire to inherit, why not use your connections to get the deal if it's so important to you" Richard replied.
"I can do this on my own I don't need to use my family connection just to clinch a deal or are you saying am incompetent" Marcus questioned.
Richard raised his hand as a sign of surrender and continued pressing his phone while Marcus concentrated on his work. A few minutes later Marcus stood up and shut down the computer, he took up his suit coat hanging on the back of his chair, turning to Richard said
"We can go now but I have just one hour to spend there with you after which am off, I still have to check up on some emails tonight."
Richard stood up puts back his phone and replied "Let's roll buddy you gonna enjoy tonight" he assured him.
Both of them headed out of the office with Richard in front, and after they stepped out Marcus locked the office with his fingerprint, he changed the security of his office to his fingerprint and facial recognition after the incident with his secretary letting Victoria into the office in his absence to wait for him, that way no one has access to the office except him or he gives the authorization.
Both took the elevator down and followed through the back door that was connected to the garage, which was constructed exclusively for the CEO's office floor to enable easy access in and out of the building without anyone knowing.
Marcus and Richard walked side-by-side to the garage at the end of the building, which was designated for senior staff of the company to pack their cars and vehicles owned by the corporation. Although Marcus had his private garage solely for his use with many high-class and expensive cars, Richard decided to pack there as Marcus would be joining him in his ride.
Marcus entered the co-drivers in front and sat while Richard took the steering; the ignition started one touch and drove out of the building.
Tonight was going to be fun and uncertain, filled with tales and incidents that would change the course of Marcus's life. Fates have always entangled people into the web of destiny.
