Beyond The Night (MxM)

Mr. Williams (1)

Chapter 5: Mr, Williams (1)

Aaron Williams, the founder and CEO of Untamed Entertainment, he is a one of a kind asshole. Not only is he the worst kind of scum to have ever walked this planet, but he is also very proud of the fact. Nothing he does is ever good, so Vincent had always did his best to stay away from him.

Vincent's approach to people was very simple, if he disliked someone he would simply keep his distance, and never attack or provoke them. In the end thought it is simply not possible to avoid a client. And Aaron is currently one of LIBERATED's clients. Of course there was no point in turning down business, but with every fiber of his being, Vincent disliked that man. Now more than ever... the reason being what Aaron did when he first arrived at LIBERATED to ask for investment.

***

"Hey, you know, you look really good, how about we go out for a drink sometime." Aaron said without thinking much about it. Why? Because he is atracted to anything with two legs. 

However Vincent continued to speak unfazed by the sudden proposal. "Mr. Williams, I believe you are a very busy person and time is short, so can we countinue with the discussion for your requested investment?"

"Right after you give me your number." Aaron didn't seem to be fazed either.

"I already have given you my business card." Vincent said coldly.

"Personal number" Aaron, wasn't going to give up any time soon, it's just the kind of person he is.

"Mr. Williams, I think there is no reason for us to waste each other's time." Vincent said with slight anger in his voice,

"What do you mean waste of time? Going out with me willl be rather fun you know?" he answered instantly.

"I was talking about your company's proposal, it's a pile of rubbish, I cannot accept it." he said as he threw the paperwork on the table. What was Aaron even thinking? That since he has a big company he can just barge in here, act rude and also get investment out of it? Stupid.

"I will have my people re-write it." Has he have no shame? This type of paperwork should be prepared by him personaly! Aaron is a completely shameless bastard.

"Alright then Mr. Williams, I will look foward to the re-written version. However for now I have other things to attend to. Also next time don't ask for me personally, go to my secretary or asistant." saying all that with the same monotone tone you'd only ever hear out of a robot, Vincent was quite sick of the man in front of him.

"Yes certainly I will, your assistant seemed very pretty looking as well." that line sounded both as a threat, and also a compliment. Then yet, nothing that comes out of this man's mouth should be taken at face value.

"I'd prefer you not laying hands on my employees." Just the thought of Aaron doing anything to his female secretary or male assistant seemed disgusting. He is known as being a shameless p*****t behind closed doors. There were countless victums to his assaults, but none of them got reported to the police. Does that mean that they are only rumours? Not at all, it's the pure unadulterated truth.

At this point you might be asking yourself, 'If Aaron is so bad, how come he's still in business?'

I will gladly answer that. Aaron Williams is the founder of Untamed Entertainment, even with it's bad reputation, it has still raised stars in recent years, so undoubtedly there is some value to his work.

Or rather the work of his employees, you see the reality is that Aaron has a great eye for people, he can quickly tell if someone will be of use to him or not. Using that in combination with various manipulation tactics, bribes, and power, he managed to have his company raise in the ranks. Now he is one of the top 5 in the country. 

"If I shouldn't lay hands on your employees, are you willing to take their place?" Aaron answered cherfully.

"Thank you for the offer, however I have someone else I am interested in." Vincent wasn't going to falter either, the only person on this planet that can mess with him is probably his best friend Charles, and even he has a difficult time.

"So you do? It doesn't really matter to me. You could also invite him as well." That shameless prick! The Hell he means by 'it doesn't matter'?  It f*****g does! It matters a lot! But Vincent wasn't the type of person to get angry for no reason, so as calmly as ever he spit out his next words. "I'd prefer not ending up in the hospital afterwards. I'm not into the type of play you are after all."

"You know about it already? Man news spread fast these days." Completely and utterly shameless, he won't even try to hide it. Not that there is any point in hiding it from Vincent. As much as Aaron has good eyes for finding people useful to him, Vincent also has sharp eyes, he can see through people's true intentions easily.

 "Yes it does. Now if you may leave, as I mentioned earlier I have other work to attend to." Vincent said in conclusion and stood up from his chair. But as he was headed for the door Aaron spoke again "I really like that assistant of yours, what was his name Alfred? Alan? ah, no it was actually Alex right? What you do think, if I ask him out will he accept?"

He already knows... Aaron knows that Vincent is in love with Alex and now has taken a liking to him.

No, rather he is doing it on purpose to get on Vincent's nerves. "Do whatever you'd like." that was the simplest answer that Vincent could come up with. If he showed how much he cared for Alex, then that would only make Aaron's interest stronger.

"Really now? I thought you wouldn't like the idea." Aaron is openly provoking Vincent, why is he doing it? Because it's his hobby to screw with people.

"I don't mind, he is old enough to answer for himself." That was all that could be said at that point.

And also the very reason Vincent hates Aaron so damn much. He simply dislikes people that will happily ruin someone else's happiness for temporary plesure.

Now to the present time once again. Currently Aaron has send 30 "re-worked" versions of the same proposal. As if simply to mess with Vincent he had only been making very small changes to those proposals. And thus 30 times later, finally there is a good proposal.

'I should reject his deal just because he is messing with me.' Vincent thought to himself but then snapped back into reality. This is work, not private life, and he doesn't want to mix his personal feelings into this.

'I can't run a company on my own selfish feelings, there are people's jobs at stake here' he thought to himself and was determined to follow through with this.
