CHAPTER 1: I WANT HER
1288 Words
Are we almost there? Casper asks checking his watch while tapping away on his tablet.
Yes sir, Logan replied.
He laments that I don’t know why I am forced to come here just for one charity façade show when I should be doing other important things.
I am sure Madam Emily is just one of those women my father keeps as his mistress, but must they drag me into their drama
Logan noticed that his boss was getting agitated by the impromptu invitation and decided to change the topic.
What about this month's meeting sir, Logan asked.
Which meeting is that? Did you schedule a meeting without notifying me?
No boss, I mean the family gathering
OK, what about it and when is it?
Ending of this month sir, have you forgotten about your last discussion with your Father?
And what discussion is that, Casper asks, feigning ignorance.
Your father asked you to bring the woman you wish to marry
Okay, I will arrange for an escort to follow me as usual.
He said not to bring those seductresses to his home again. Logan recites the words exactly as his father has said.
Then I will go alone.
He said not to come alone.
You know what, Logan, if you are going to nag has my father does, maybe you should go and work for him. I want a business buddy, not another father figure, he said, frowning his face.
Am sorry sir.
You had better be
We are here, sir
Logan quickly open the door for him and they walked in
President Casper? I look back to see who knows me here and it her
Madam Emily, you must have pulled a lot of strings to get me here, he said.
I appreciate your presence, it means a lot to me, she replied.
Hmm, you don’t need to be formal, you know am not here on my own will. You made my father force me
I am sorry for any inconvenience, she pleaded, smiling at him.
The grand opening will be starting soon, shall we, she said, leading the way.
So you now have a departmental store too, he asks
It's not a departmental store, President Casper, it's a charity, Madam Emily explained.
Oh, charity, you think am a novice at how the likes of you amaze their wealth.
IVANNAS POV
Oh s**t, am going to be late. If I don’t get there on time, I won’t get the job. This is Tobby’s fault. Ivanna kept cursing while picking up her pace.
At the departmental store hall, her shoe flung into the air while running. Of course, it was not her size. She borrowed it, s**t, why do I have to run in these, of all days?
She looked back at the shoe. Should I just go barefoot? No, the shoe belongs to Ana, she’s gonna skin me alive if I don’t return the shoe.
She walks a few steps back and picks up the shoe, not bothering to put it back on, she rushed forward only to step on water and slip
CASPERS POV
I know how you people play games. If it wasn’t for my Dad, I wouldn’t be here. I am busier than you think, Casper said when a body suddenly collided with him.
“Oh no, am going to fall”, Ivanna closed her eyes, bracing herself.
“Wait, this does not seem like the floor. Did I collide with the wall? But walls don’t have flesh and muscles, do they? she said rubbing her hands on Casper's chest," and they didn’t smell nice either.
Are you done seducing me miss,", she heard a sweet masculine voice ask
Ivanna quickly adjusted herself and stood on her feet.
Oh my God, I am so sorry, she said, looking up.
I fe……., “Geese have just lost a lifetime opportunity of meeting my Mr right, she thought, looking at Casper, is it the chiseled jawline, or the golden brown eyes, or his brown hair, this man is just so handsome”
You were saying? Casper ask a little bit furious looking at the red lip outline on his white shirt, smeared by Ivanna’s makeup
I am sorry sir, I didn’t mean to ruin your shirt. I slipped
Oh I see, you didn’t mean to huh?
Yes, I …..
If you are here for the interview, kindly come in now. She heard from a voiceover speaker or don’t bother coming in again
“ I didn’t miss the interview, thank goodness” She forget about Casper and rushed towards the direction where the announcement had been made.
Am very sorry, President Casper, I will quickly have my secretary get you a new shirt before the program begins.
No, no, it's okay, he said, raising up his hand.
He dipped his hand into his left suit's inner pocket and gave her a cheque.
That’s for you, I will be leaving now. He strides past Madam Emily toward the elevator.
President Casper, you can’t leave, your presence alone is worth more than this cheque you gave me, she said, running after him.
You should be happy I didn’t just leave without giving you anything, that girl just ruined my mood. I have just wasted two hours of flight to come down here, he replied, entering the elevator.
Logan, he called when the door of the elevator closed.
Yes boss
Find out everything about that girl, I want her, and when I mean everything, I mean down to the size of her underwear.
Yes, sir
During the ride back, Logan noticed his boss is too quiet. Usually, they always talk about business, in the car, the elevator, the office, and even at home, because to him every minute counts.
Why should I be wasting my time doing this or that when they are not adding to my value or dollars to my account, he would always say. And now he's wondering what he's thinking about and why he's silent
Did you find anything yet, Casper asked
Find what sir, Logan ask jumping out of his thoughts and looking confused.
What else, the girl
Not yet boss
Then be on it ASAP
Okay sir
I have had a series of girls at my will, the classy ones, the elegant ones, the sophisticated ones, and even a highly paid escorts, but have never seen anyone as beautiful as that girl-the spark of electricity that ran through me when she rubbed those hands on my chest was a thing that, have never felt before even though have been with many girls
He looked at the red lip outline on his shirt once again, subconsciously rubbing his hands on it. I don't know what is wrong with me but right now all I want to do is rub my hands on the full and soft breast that rested on my chest not long ago, pull her long black hair towards me while I make love to her, I want to kiss those full and succulent lips until they are red and swollen
Those mere thoughts are already making me so hard down there and, right at that moment, Casper made up his mind.
Logan, he called
Yes boss
Put a call through to my father and tell him I will be attending the family gathering with my wife-to-be.
