I was just about to close the deal with Sky fast limited when they freaking backed out and chose my competitor's company to seal the deal. After all the time, energy, resources and money spent to close the deal because it was finally time to show my strength as the future heir to the company. I can't even explain the different emotions swirling in me right now. I came into the office this morning with a clear mind and with full confidence about my deal and I even allowed myself to drink my favorite pumpkin spice latte to celebrate the occasion but no everything is ruined. I can't believe I told him I was confident in my skills in closing this very important deal, how am I going to face him now?
"Leslie! Come here now" I beckoned my idiotic secretary over. She's pretty alright but upstairs am not so pretty. She's just lucky I don't fire her cause I like how she comes to work all dressed up like it's a costume party with her smoked eyes are tight red lip.
"Yes sir, how may I help you today?" She asks all seductively despite her many failed attempts in being with me she doesn't seem to back down.
"I want you to sue that blasted company or financial loses, there's no way in letting go free and I want you find any dirt you can get spread misinformation about the deal so that it can look shady" I tell her while not lifting my eyes away from the computer to search for my competitor's company. I'll show them not to mess with me.
I finally close by 5 and I've decided to head out early to avoid meeting him because I still can't bear to show myself. I was just about to head out when I heard him call me
"Son! Where are you heading out in a hurry like this, one might think you're trying to avoid me or something." Mr. Booker bellows from across the hall.
"Not at all sir, I just have a prior engagement that's all." I lied nervously as I turned to meet his face with a smile.
"A lady engagement I hope, don't you think it's time to start thinking of settling down, you know you're not getting any younger" he says while chuckling. I can't believe he just said the cliché line of every old dad that wants a grand kid. It's unfortunate that I have to disappoint him cause there's no way I'm getting married in my bachelor years.
"I know but you always said work first then flirt later, Afterall I'm following in your footsteps, aren't I?" I said retorting back to his earlier statements in the past.
"At least I lived a little, I had someone I could definitely call my first love" he says with a little sadness in his tone.
"And you also told me why first loves are never meant to work out in the first place"
"I know what I said, just don't do everything I did and still live with regrets every day, now enough talking I'll see you tomorrow at golf right"
" yeah definitely you'll see me tomorrow winning at golf for the first time"
"Keep dreaming kid, the day you win against me is the day I let you take over" he says patting me on the back as I had already closed the distance between us since.
He knows what he just said had hit a nerve because it's always been a matter of whose taking over the company while he retires and gets married but it's never been finalized as I keep making mistakes and he believes the most competent person to do the job. Bu no worries I have faith in myself and I intend to fix that small blunder I made of a broken deal soon enough.
"Yes sir, I believe very soon you'll see you're making the choice" I say with pleaded eyes and best serious face I could muster.
He just takes a long hard look at me and smiles and walks away. That how our conversation always ends on the matter, glad to see nothing has changed. But I do wonder why he's hesitating, its almost as if he's waiting for something to change his mind like a mistake from me or something but who knows what's going on in his mind. He has never let me in completely
I walk slowly towards the revolving door heading outside to see the valet already handing the keys to my Silver Audi A6, ready for me to leave. I get in and drive out, heading towards my friend's bar to ease my stress a little. I raised the volume up to the already playing music which was my favorite, Radio Gaga by the beloved Queen band.
I arrived 20 minutes later than usual due to small traffic and I was not in any mood to be in a hurry to leave the line. I park my car at the owner's space cause I'm also a co-owner of a night club due to a night of crazy drinking and lots of girls but it's not been a bad investment yet and plus I get to have my own corner to sit with my girls. I look up at the sign called Euphoria Nights with lights beaming on and off and just walk in towards my corner. The bar tender waves at me and I wave back. He already starts mixing my drinks that he knows by heart. I beckon for some girls to come over together with my drinks to get wasted. Which was exactly what I was looking for.
I was finally getting the buzz I was looking for when suddenly one of our girls let out a scream as she was getting too harassed by some guys all at once which wasn't allowed in my bar. I get up and head over to smoothen things over despite feeling a little tipsy.
"Ease up on the lady lads" I say while trying to get in between the guys to reach the girl.
"Not your concern mate" A guy who's trying to sound British say gruffly as he tries to shove me backout from reaching the girl who was sprawled on the floor. She looked kind of new with the look of innocence. I forcibly place myself in front of the girl to make them know who's boss.
'' I see my bar let's just anyone in without a brain to come in, I don't appreciate idiotic morons who can't discern the right time and place for stupid shenanigans nonetheless ill be a good host and let you go to a little corner and stop bothering 'my girl' and if not ill have to toss you out like the flying pigs you are. So, what do you, my friends?" I say to them in a menacing tone trying to get my message across, I could still hear the girl whimper behind me as she was cowering in fear. That's what I despise the most.
"So, cause it's your little bar you think you can walk all over us? What happened to customers are always right or your fancy little school didn't teach you eh mate?" the British guy I guess says while attempting to tower over me which earned more grunts from his men around us. I signaled for the bouncers to come over with a nod to prevent the situation from escalating.
"I guess you chose to inhibit your animal instinct and not to act like decent gentlemen, Kevin throws them out and make sure to get their id so that they are banned from ever entering her again" I say squaring up to the guy and the bouncers start grabbing the other men to throw them out.
"Why you little bastard! You messed with the wrong guy today!" suddenly the British guy throws a punch at me and because I was standing in front of the waitress and she was clinging onto me, I couldn't dodge fast enough to prevent her from getting hit so I instead I took the punch and pushed her to the side to give me more room to beat up the guy.
The girl crawls on her knees trying to get away as the other men started brawling with the bouncers. The British guy kept throwing punches at me and I kept dodging left and right. I grabbed his right hand and gave him an upper cut to his shin which made him loose his balance a little bit. I didn't let him regain his composure as I kicked hum at us knees which made hum topple over. I grabbed his face and started punching rapidly without caring that he was also laying some punches on the sides of mt stomach. He manages to head butt me which made me lose my vision for second as he used thus to his damage to tackle me down on the floor and kept on throwing punches. I managed to didge some but the blows were pretty hard. I spit blood into his eye which merely distracted hum a for a split second as I turn over the fight to my advantage. I elbow him very hard at his neck and punched his face and got on top of him. I saw he was struggling to breathe since u stared choking his neck. Squeezing any oxygen left and not letting any through. He was about to pass out when Kevin one of the bouncers pulled me off from on top of hum.
"you're going to kill him at this rate, we've subdued the others and I promise it won't happen again, just go home and let me deal with the mess" he says giving me my jacket.
"It better not, and increase the status of people allowed to come in to prevent thus from happening again, and give that gurl some money to keep quiet, I don't care for the lot of them" I said spitting blood on the floor and heading out to my car. I was well aware that I had been drinking but I was pretty sure the adrenaline had made me sober enough to let me drive home at least. I had to get out of there and go treat my face to prevent it from scarring and that when I remembered I was supposed to go golfing tomorrow, he'll be so disappointed to learn that I fought with tide unruly me. How foolish was I thinking, I should have never helped that girl in the first place. And with those bad thoughts running through my mind, I drove off in a fit of rage. I didn't know whether it was the alcohol or the fact that I might have spoilt my chances of becoming his heir after he sees me tomorrow.
Imagining how disappoint he would look sent me spiraling into fits of rage and I started driving recklessly, I knew I was speeding but I didn't see anyone on the road as it was already late or so I thought. I quickly took a turn thinking it'll be a quick shortcut to one of my girls' apartments, I knew I had to let off some steam and I knew she'd do a good job of it. I her house was just pass some school and because it was late I wouldn't have trouble speeding down the road. I took the last turn while going over 90kmh in a 40kmh zone when suddenly I saw a girl that was about to finish crossing the road it wouldn't reach it in time and she stops suddenly to look at me, frozen I fear as I was busy trying to press down hard on the break but it was of no use. I managed to swerve just enough to hit head as she goes up inti the air and lands with a huge thud. I tried to get control of my car and managed to put it to a stop at the side of the rod but it was too late. I had hit someone.
I rushed out quickly in frantic as I ran over to the girl lying in an uncomfortable position which I'm sure meant one of her legs were broken because they were twisted in a er weird way. I reach my hand to her face to see if she was still breathing but I got startled by the blood gushing from her forehead entering her stormy gray eyes which were looking up at me.
"I'm so sorry, can you hear me? I'm going to move you now" I say frantically as I tried to position myself to carry her. The movement must've been too painful as she suddenly passed out. I quickly carried her into my arms and was glad she wasn't that heavy and put her in the back seat and rushed her to my friends' private hospitals. I was not about to let this poor girl die even if it meant the end of my career and my life as we know it.
