Adamantia boarded the flight, herself in First class and Zoe in business class. She was so ready to crash into her seat and sleep like there was no tomorrow.
Until, she saw the punk again, that annoying punk was right beside her, she didn't mind though, all her fatigue left with the wind.
Lucian Macquinn didn't expect to see that gold digger in first class. With his eyes closed he leaned back and was already in slumber land, until he got disturbed by Adamantia's poking.
'What the h*ll, woman?' he had never seen an unreserved rich lady in his entire existence 'maybe she is a hooker, how else could she afford first class and be so unreserved?' . Adamantia payed no attention to him whatsoever.
'Are you even real?' she was beyond lost, 'Talkative' the only word that came out of his mouth through out the four hour flight, Adamantia kept the conversation going though.
Country B's Airport
With secretary Cane right behind, Lucian headed towards the black car, the car zoomed off into the night. Almost immediately, Adamantia got into the company car, as her headlights faded into the night, a tall man dressed in black stepped out of the darkness. 'Thoo...thoo... thoo, the line went through, Country B, 8:32pm, ma'am'. The receiver had no response.
Adamantia was about to pass out in the car, looking back from the rear view mirror, Zoe couldn't stop Sighing 'you could have at least had a bite on the plane ma'am, you look quite light headed'. Adamantia was in a daze, murmuring 'how could a man be that hot?'. 'Ma'am?' Zoe was as confused as can be.
At Mantina Hotel [subsidiary of Adamantia's company]
'I headed straight for the top most floor, my day was as hectic as can be, first I woke up 9am!!!, then those light headed directors proceeded to piss me off, then some fool at branch 34 embezzled my money, then I met this rude handsome punk, how dare he not speak to me, all I needed right now was to crash'.
Lucian's POV
' How could they look so alike, they looked exactly alike, well from the back they did. That woman was nothing like the woman i have spent six years searching for with minimalresults. The woman i met at the airport was as vulgar as can be, this Mantina hotel better be worth my money'.
On the topmost floor of Mantina Hotel, there were two rooms and two rooms only, even the wealthiest of the wealthy considered it a waste of money, being the boss it was only natural for Adamantia to stay in one of those premium rooms, but on the other hand she didn't understand what the h*ll that rude punk at the airport was doing on the topmost floor, 'was he lost?!!!!'. She picked this room for privacy and that rude punk was right there..
Walking up to him, 'hey' no response, Adamantia was bewildered, the audacity of this man, first the airport, then the plane, now this?. She kept on talking anyway 'look, I don't know if your are following me, if you are you are wasting a whole lot of resources by booking this room, how much where you paid exactly?, you booked first class now this room, who the h*ll sent you?'. Lucian uttered another word 'annoying', then walked into his room. Flabbergasted Adamantia walked into her room in a daze.
In her hotel room, she made a call through to Zoe 'do some digging on the resident of room 77, his age back ground, occupation, everything Zoe, no loopholes'. After having her bath she slept like a baby. On the other hand Lucian was wild awake, he kept his directors wild awake, it was 2am in the morning buy he had been on an online conference meeting since 10pm, all the directors were about to pass out.
'Jewelry, the aphrodite collection, the exhibition has been scheduled for the 12th of this month, contact the exhibition crew and prepare your designers'.... no response Lucian looked up at the screen, all directors were sweating, he looked one box at at time. The jewelry director was asleep!!!!.
All other directors were about to pass out, how dare he?!!!!!. Lucian ended the conference without a word. He made a call through as well, 'Cane, do some digging on the talkative opposite my room door....'actually sir...., she already did some digging on you your self, but since you logged into the hotel with my name she found nothing on you sir' 'hmmm' and the call ended.The guts of this woman, how dare she?. 3 am in the morning he finally slept.
The next morning
Finally, it was about time I kicked some rotten eggs out of my company, it was exactly 8:30am and the first thing Adamantia could think about was kicking people out. Lucian on the other hand already left his hotel room,he was heading for the mall he built 7 months ago, he finally made time in his schedule to check it out.
Branch 34
Adamantia was fuming mad with a smile on her face, the vice chair man was on his knees in front of her.
Earlier..... At the vice chairman secretary's office, she had been sitting there for over an hour, sipping tea, the secretary kept staring at her , then she suddenly spoke up 'you have been here for over an hour, you are simply another girl waiting in line for the chairman's favor, there is another woman inside as we speak, I am only helping you cause you are pretty, I have to say you are the first to come with a secretary, are you an actress?'. Adamantia had no words.
After another hour of waiting, a lady in her twentys walked out, Adamantia was amused , he dared use the office she gave him for such atrocities, kicking him out was going to be better than she expected. The secretary led her into the office after another five minutes, Adamantia suspected the five minutes were for "clean up".
The vice chair man was in his late fifties, 'your wife is really pretty and quite young too' , she smiled with disgust. The chair man cleared his throat uncomfortably, 'if I remember correctly we haven't had an introduction, if you are here to propose a contract you should have gone through proper procedures, I see no reason for you to see the president himself' the chair man spoke irritatedly.
Adamantia was beyond amused 'I had no idea you were the president sir, I apologize for my vulgar behavior.... is that what you wanted to hear?' the vice chairman was getting irritated, 'if you have nothing reasonable to say, do me a favor by leaving my office'.
Adamantia waved her hand to Zoe, Zoe placed a portfolio on the table and proceeded to bring out loads of files, after placing them neatly before her boss, she stepped back to her former position.
'You are fired' Adamantia stood up to leave, the vice locked the door with a remote he was holding. After having his seat, 'ladies have a seat, if your are cos playing to get my attention, you got my attention alright, especially you' the man babbled on while pointing Adamantia's direction.
He picked out a key card and threw it in their direction, 'meet me in that room, 7pm'. After unlocking the door he told them to leave. Adamantia took her seat and ordered the vice 'open the files, I had no intention of wasting my time on you whatsoever, but I am really pissed now though, I will contact the legal department on my way out and have you sued, before you are ledgers on all your 'bad deeds' since day one. I am not the type to repeat my self twice, you are fired'.
Adamantia walked out of the office and headed straight for the elevator, in the parking lot, the vice came running over 'I apologize for my stupidity president ma'am, I don't deserve your mercy', he dropped to his knees and kept on begging. Adamantia got into the car anyways.
'There is a new mall that opened about six months ago ma'am, it's been a while since you went shopping, should we head out?' Zoe was excited, this was practically a break. 'Hmmm' was the response she got.
In the mall, Zoe and Adamantia parted ways and agreed to meet in the parking lot by 4pm.
Adamantia was inspecting a bvlgari serpenti rose gold necklace, when all of a sudden all employees rushed to the entrance of the store and bowed.
'What's all the fuss....', that's when their eyes met, the handsome punk was behind all the fuss.
Lucian's POV
Reallyy?!!!!!!!.
