Jean saw her phone ringing when she was almost done with her breakfast, "Dad, how was your breakfast?" "This is no time for greetings princess, hurry up and meet me at the GREY ENTREPRISE I'm supposed to meet young master Grey at 9:00 am."
Jean was astonished, looking at the time it was only 30 minutes to nine o'clock in the morning. She didn't want to accompany her dad as Jean, she had to go as Fella.
Her identity as Fella was much better when causing trouble than Jean, even her dad didn't have an idea that she had assumed Fella's identity who had been working as captain for FLYING SQUAD team for almost two years now.
This was a virtual gaming club sponsored by FELIX LIMITED. How she did it, was still a mystery.
Twenty five minutes later, a young man was seen entering GREY enterprise on a scooter. Carlos who was driving his boss in a low Mercedes was a little surprised but he was aware that so many people came to this company daily and it was normal to meet one or two weird people.
But when Jaden who was reading a business newspaper looked at the guy his eyes widened a little, he was familiar with this guy. Fella from the gay club. His face hardened and turned gloomy in an instant, Carlos was surprised at the sudden change of mood. Sure enough, young master didn't like late comers.
Jaden at first thought this guy had come here because of him but then he remembered he was Tiger at that moment so most likely he was here for other things.
"Boss are you ok?" "If I'm not ok then do you want me to be sick."
He didn't see that coming, when did his boss develop a sharp tongue?
What he didn't know was, even Jaden was surprised at his own outburst. Did he need a vacation? But then he shook his head at the ridiculous idea.
Fella packed his ride and stepped towards the lobby where Felix was. Felix was bewildered as to why the team captain followed him but before he could ask, Jean used her normal voice. "Dad you have to pretend I'm Fella."
Felix was yet to answer when suddenly the lobby fell silent, everyone stood up in awe as they looked at the approaching Jaden Grey. The youngest most successful billionaire in phoenix country. He was only 27 years and still a bachelor.
He was successful in everything apart from his sexual life, there were rumors that he had an accident when young which harmed his organs. He was lucky to have escaped death in that accident which claimed his mother's life when he was only 5 years old.
It was said that his dad didn't care that much and even got married the same month but no one knew anything else beyond that.
Grey didn't even look at them as if he didn't see them or maybe he really didn't see them but when he got into the exclusive elevator, Jean had an illusion that he looked at her with an extremely hostile gaze.
"Did I owe him in my past life?"
Her dad who was still looking at the lift turned his head before sighing, "Did you have a conflict with that young man?"
That confirmed Jean's suspicion, he really looked at her that way. She just shrugged her shoulders before they followed another employee to the 44th floor of course. Upon reaching the top floor, the employee handed them to Carlos who took them to the CEO's office.
"Have a sit Mr Felix and this is?" "Je...Cough" Jean had to interrupt his words with a forced cough, this earned a look from Grey who then sank his nose back to his work but any keen person would notice that his restless finger was tapping on the table non-stop.
"He is Fella, captain of the virtual game team under the Felix company called Flying squad." "Ok, if you have no issue these are the available deals for you to chose from. Any question I will be able to answer."
Jean who was at the side finally perked up, she also skimmed through the list before her face fell. There was no gaming deal there, was it a lie about what she found out.
What she didn't know was, Jaden was looking at her from the corner of his eye. He saw her eyes lit up like the other day at night when she saw him and then quickly dim as if tears were swimming in her eyes. Was he the only one who thinks of Fella as a cry baby man.
Why do her eyes have so much tears? But surprisingly they never fall.
He brought his gaze back to his work while pondering, why did this Fella seem like he expected something else on that list. Grey was someone who could shut his mouth unless it was very important.
"Young master Grey,"
Everyone was taken aback when they heard a hoarse adolescent like voice speak up. But for different reasons, Carlos was silently up louding this young man's guts and Felix was wondering, when did my daughter's voice turn from angelic to frogish. He frowned in disgust openly, even Jean almost choked when she noticed her father's comic expression and disgust written all over his face.
OMG! Can someone tell my dad to at least pretend till I finish talking, these were her thoughts but she had to keep talking.
"Did this guy get some cold?" Grey recalled his voice back in the club and he was sure it wasn't this way unless he faked it which he was right. Jean faked her voice and had already forgotten about Tiger guy.
"I thought your company had a virtual reality game which you..." Jean stopped her words when she noticed the strange looks she was receiving.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm obsessed with gaming so I found out from some people in the gaming circle."
Jean felt like hiding from the piercing gaze from Jaden but she knew she had to confront it to avoid suspicion. Damn! This guy is dangerous what a waste of looks.
Jean was almost loosing it when he finally looked away and pulled another sheet from the file. But it was still Carlos who spoke, 'does this guy think his words are laved with gold?' Jean felt like she was looked down upon but she held in her temper.
Still her cheeks puffed without herself noticing and her eyes were filled with grievances, Grey felt like laughing out loudly for the first time. How can someone behave this way without himself noticing, because he noticed that this Fella guy was not aware of his actions at all.
"Yes, we have..." Then a low magnetic laughter interrupted the serious business conversation between Carlos and the Felix group.
Jean who whipped her head up first was captivated by that smile, OMG! Handsome! Stars naturally appeared in her sparkling eyes, Grey who saw the action snorted and stopped smiling, I forgot he is gay. That was what he thought.
But Felix who saw the interaction had another comic expression, he pushed Jean a little and looked at her as if sneering. Jean knew her dad had misunderstood her.
"Following me to seduce Young master Grey?"
Jean now felt like her dad was no longer a mighty man but a rumor monger full of gossip. She nudged him a little, but Grey who saw the action thought Jean as Fella was seducing a grown man.
"Fella, Mr Felix has an elder daughter who is almost your age."
Even though no one explained, they heard the underling meaning, 'Keep your paws to your self.'
At this Felix finally started laughing out, "Young master Grey you don't have to worry, he is like a son to me. In fact I treat him like my firstborn daughter. He is just a little spoilt. He wants us to choose this virtual game deal and please look after him for me when they come for practice. "
Jean felt like leaving already, what was his dad talking about? And this young master, did he have to think of her as a seductive fox, I'm his daughter damn. But she still smiled since her most pressing issue had been dealt with. She just had to see the story line and know the rest.
After signing the contract, Jean wanted to leave with her dad but Carlos detained her in the name of discussing how the teams will train. She had question marks in her head but she was happy to remain and try to see the story line as soon as possible.
Jean didn't know that Jaden had grasped her weakness, her eyes will light up with stars if her wishes were fulfilled or her eyes will be filled with tears that never fell if offended. So when he saw her eyes light up with her act of being reluctant to stay he almost smiled again.
"Is she just naïve or she does this to fool people?"
Grey wondered but still assigned Carlos the task of retrieving the story line for her.
"Mr Fella, this the story line of the game. Take your time to go through it." He then left the CEO'S office.
After sometime, Grey was surprised to feel a murderous aura in his office, of course he finally took a good look at Jean.
The guy was reading the script at a high speed and his fingers were tightly clenched. His aggrieved look was long gone and was replaced by a cold fierce look. He is a dangerous person, Grey was now sure that this guy was trouble.
He lowered his head again and played dumb. He now knew this guy appearing here for the virtual game deal was no accident at all.
What does he want?
He stood up with a glass of water and approached him, "Fella..."
He didn't even speak, he just handed him a glass of warm water. Jean also knew she had no explanation as to why she lost it incase he asked , but luckily he didn't. He just patted him on the shoulder and sat across, Grey who sat across was surprised when he noticed that he was finally showing the aggrieved look again.
Why did he feel like bullying him when he did that? Fuck, he shook his head and looked away. "You may take some time off and let us start tomorrow."
Jean was happy for that because she was a little angry but why?
