Falling for the enemy

Chapter 10–Calculated Moves

The car came to a stop in front of the large Voss Inc. Kyle stepped out while the car sped towards the underground garage. He walked forward, looking effortlessly dazzling in his executive suit. He raised her arm as he checked the time. He casually glanced around before returning to his unpaid modeling.

Three minutes later, a black Chevrolet pulled over in front of the company where he stood, a stunning male beauty got out of the car and casually walked towards him.

"You're late, Jason," Kyle said as he faced the oncoming man.

"Just a few minutes bro, chill," he said as he grinned sheepishly.

"And is that all you have to say to your friend you haven't seen in a while now? Oh I'm hurt" he said dramatically.

Kyle simply rolled his eyes,

"Let's go" he said, already walking ahead.

The young man was Jason, the second son of the Cullen family, a rich third-generation heir. He has been friends with Kyle right from high school.

They got into the elevator and arrived at Kyle's floor. Kyle walked out with Jason trailing behind him slightly. Both men looked like they had walked straight out of a hot male magazine. They soon arrived in front of Kyle's office.

"Wow bro, this could pass for the CEO's office. Your uncle really dotes on you" Jason exclaimed as he made himself comfortable on the sofa.

Kyle strode forward to his chair and got seated before raising his head lazily at Jason sprawled on the office sofa,

"Last I checked, you were supposed to be my assistant."

"Not so fast bro, what do I stand to gain from leaving my home abroad to be your assistant" Jason whined, still on the sofa

"Nothing, absolutely nothing" Kyle said, a teasing smile played at the corner of his lips, though faint. He knew there was no way this rich heir would even leave his home if he was planning to be his assistant.

The door opened and Mark walked in.

"Good morning sir" he said, bowing slightly.

"This is your schedule for the day and these files need to be reviewed this morning."

"Give them to the young man over there and don't bother coming back, you're relieved from your duty" Kyle said as he glanced over at him.

"I don't understand, sir" Mark said his brows furrowed.

"Report to HR to assume a new duty" Kyle said looking away

"Yes sir" Mark replied before making his way out

"He looks pitiful" Jason commented casually

He picked up the files and schedule and looked through them, he raised his head, his gaze filled with self pity,

"Is this what my life has turned out to be?" He muttered to himself before walking to his own office

A few minutes later, Jason walked into the office, he held his note pad device.

"You have a meeting in 15 mins and I sent some files to your email, did you receive them?" He asked as he stood beside Kyle's desk.

"I've received them but I haven't had a chance to go through them. Can you read through it for me?" Kyle said not raising his head from the paperwork he was handling

"Oh sure" Jason replied as he opened the files and began to read them,

Kyle looked up at him after a few seconds, "I meant aloud"

"Alright...wait what?" Jason exclaimed "Read aloud like some toddler? " He clutched his chest dramatically before returning to reading it aloud

"Business Proposal, Presented by the Rivera Inc. ............................................................................

Signed: Hazel Rivera

The next file is..." He continued before Kyle interrupted

" That was faster than I expected" he mused as he dropped his pen

"Accept it" he said looking at Jason

Jason went ahead to accept the proposal. Kyle rose from his seat and picked a few files before walking ahead

"Where are you going" Jason asked as he quickly followed behind

"It's fifteen minutes already" Kyle replied

"Oh, the meeting"

They both entered into the conference room and shut the door behind them.

Rivera Corps

Hazel received a mail as she worked on her system, she clicked on it and the message came to view; her proposal has been accepted. She smiled slightly before it vanished too.

She finished up the work on her desk before rising to her full height, picking up her pad, she walked out of her office towards Executive Lucas office. She knocked lightly on the door before pushing it open and walking in.

"Sir, the business proposal has been accepted by the Voss Inc." she informed, stopping a few meters away from his desk

"Really?" Lucas asked, looking up "then minute the mail to the CEO's office, the next step will follow consequently"

"Yes" she said nodding curtly, her expression blank.

She walked back to her office and swiftly minuted the mail.

In the CEO's office,

"Sir, a mail was minuted to your office and it's concerning the business proposal with the Voss Inc. which you asked to be personally handled by you" Jacob, Melvin's personal assistant informed

"Let me see it" Melvin said adjusting slightly in his seat. He went through the mail and upon seeing the word 'accepted' his gaze brightened.

"Call Lucas in for me" he said unable to hide his excitement. Accepting the proposal only meant he was one step closer becoming richer and more money meant more power and Melvin Rivera never said no to power.

Jacob left and a few minutes later Lucas walked in.

"Mr CEO" he greeted lightly as he walked forward.

"Drop the formalities, have a seat" Melvin said feeling like the sunshine "You did such a wonderful job with the proposal, it was accepted so quickly that I had to call you over"

"Oh, the proposal, well that is not my doing Melvin. My assistant, Hazel did it all, that girl is quite capable with a very cold aura but her intellect does match her aura" Lucas said laughing politely

"Hazel? Oh I see..." Melvin replied, his tone significantly lower now.

They discussed about a few more things before Lucas returned to his office.

"Hazel..." Melvin re-echoed quietly in his empty office before returning back to his work
