HIS ADDICTION

Chapter 8

Rayan's POV

I leave her sitting in the coach and head to my room in the office. I head that for days I work late and don'r feel like going back to my home. It is like an apartment and has everything I need. I get in the shower to cool off a bit but that still doesn't help. This woman turns me on every minute she is around me. I picture her kneeling before for me all tied up and I pleasure myself till I have my release. I shower and change my clothes. Once I am done I walk back to the office and find her going through the documents.

"Any problem with the proposal?" she doesn't answer and continues reading. I ask her again and she still ignores me, fascinating, I think to myself.

"Mr. Stewart I'd like to go through the proposal keenly and outline each point well. Once I am done I'll give you a summary of it"

The secretary walks in again informing me that everything is set for the meeting and we head for the meeting."Mr. Stewart you have finally agreed to have a meeting with me, I guess you realized my proposal was the best." Jeckins says rising from his seat.

"Don't flatter yourself just yet, I have to go through the proposal.".. "who is this beautiful lady joining us today, it is a pleasure to meet you Ms.." "Ms. Cresent and its a pleasure to meet you too sir." Maelie says extending her hand for a handshake. Jeckins takes it and kisses her hand and I glare at them."Shall we start the meeting once you two are done or should we wait.." I tell them with an irritated voice. "Now Ms. Maelie you have gone through the proposal what are your thoughts on it?" I ask her. "The proposal is not worth investing one billion in" she says calmly. "What do you know about business world lady, our entire team spent days working on the proposal what do you mean it is not worth investing in?" the man next to Jeckins shouts at her.

"Put your dogs on a leash Jeckins I'd hate for some to loose a leg or an arm." I say calmly. I see the way he sinks back in his seat and tries to make himself as small as possible. "Don't get worked up Rayan, you know how these young people are so eager to prove themselves, I am sure he meant no disrespect. Besides he is right , this lovely young lady seems to lack experience on the business world, why don't you give her to me so that I can train her for you.." he says and I reach for my gun but I hold onto that thought , I don't want to kill someone infront of her. "Who said that she is to be passed around like some item and are you implying that I can't train her well or maybe I hire the wrong people to work for me?" and this time it is Jeckins turn to fumble.

"Ms.Cresent please explain why you think it is not worth investing into." I urge her to continue. "Investing one billion in the project would not be profitable because for one the area the project is based in lacks the required amenities, you will have to build more infrastructure to ensure that the construction and everything is done. The area is remote and the geographical terrain is also another challenge. This will make the expenditure higher than the profit incurred. The market trend was also not considered when making this proposal. It lacks the flexibility needed to blend into the market and also most machines indicated are outdated and will fail from time to time making the naintainance more costly than buying new digitalised machines."

I'm awed by her intelligence and I smile knowing I made the right choice hiring her. She is exactly the woman I need by my side. "Do you still think she is inexperienced Jeckins?"

"No.. no not really, my apologies, I will revise the proposal and come back with a better plan and..."

"There is no need for that we won't have another cooperation with the Jeckins company. See yourselves out." I cut him off and he and his secretary leaves."Another thing Jeckins make sure I never see that rabid dog of yours and never question my employees' capabilities." I tell him as they reach for the door. "That was a good observation Ms.Cresent" I commend her. " It was just an obvious observation sir," she says as she fold up the file infront of her. " Never let another man touch you again, they may end up loosing a hand. You are mine and only I get to touch you."

"You don't own me , I work for you and as you said I am not some item to be owned I hope you understand that sir!" she spats back stressing on the word sir. I just smirk and walk out of the conference room.

" Ask Amaya to show you to your office." I tell her as I walk away. I head to my office only to find Randy walking around like he owns the place. "I need security up here now!" I say over the intercom. "Easy brother I only dropped by to say hi. We are family afterall." he says grinning.

"We are not family and don't call me brother! what do you want in my office!"

"I just came to warn you from a bro to a bro to stay out of my f*****g business.You sent your men to my basements and I lost 20 of my loyal men." he shouts angrily at me. I raise my gun at his head before he can reach for his.

"You don't come to my office and raise your voice at me. I am a man with very little patience, my hands may slip and I may shoot you. I would have killed all your pathetic, weak dogs had I been there myself." I tell him as three securities rush in. " The next time you will let him set foot in this building I'll blow your brains, treat our guest nicely" I tell them as they drag him out. " One more thing brother accidents happen, you dearest mother may fall down the stairs or maybe be hit by a truck as she goes shopping or worse she and her little book club member maybe caught in a cross fire and she may accidentally take a bullet to the head so think wisely before crossing my path ever again." I tell him calmy. " You son of b*tch, I'll kill you if you touch my mother you psychopath!" he screams as he is dragged out.
