REVENGE

The meeting

Please follow, vote and comment...

Friday reached in no time although the week was presumably long for me with all the business meetings with the clients. It was so tiring but that was the pressure that came with owning a big company like Nielsen Corp. It was a lot of work but one I could handle.

As I made the final touches on my make up, I gazed at my reflection with admiral. I was perfect for the plan in my scarlet one arm dress that hugs my body in all the right places. It just ended above my knees both professional and perfect for my mission.

It showed a little of my cleavage but still sexy. I applied my maroon lipstick coupled with the gold jewelry. The black heels also elevated my elegance to another level with my hair in a perfect chignon.

I had rescheduled the meeting with Mr. Perkins from lunch to dinner since it would be better for my plan. It would access me more time for my prey. I snatched my purse from the bed rushing downstairs where I found Camila knitting.

"You look stunning." she complimented looking at me.

"Thanks mother," I smiled back at her.

"Take care of yourself dear and good luck." she said.

"Thanks mom, now don't forget to take your medicine." I pecked her.

"I really hate those damn pills." she muttered.

"I mean it mom," I said from the door.

"Alright, now go." she smiled.

I really love Camila so much, she has been a great mother to me for all those years. Unfortunately last summer, she was diagnosed with kidney stones and it wasn't a good experience. We were in and out of hospitals for a month but she was okay after all. She wasn't do fascinated with taking pills but she had to.

I drove to the restaurant where my reservation was. I immediately gave the keys to the valet and made my way inside to the lobby where I met with the host.

"Mrs. Nielsen," Rosie, the host welcomed.

"Hey Rosie," I acknowledged.

"The usual," she mentioned.

I politely excused myself to the table where I always bring my clients. It is at the corner of the room, cozy and quiet perfect for business.

I wasn't surprised to see that Mr. Perkins was on time.

I walked confidently as I swayed my hips through the hall to my table. I wasn't only shocked but also surprised when I took a once over at Mr. Perkins. He is not exactly what I thought, an old man probably in his sixties, grumpy and all face covered with wrinkles. That is not the person who was at the table.

There was the most handsome man on the planet with the sharp jawline and high cheek bones, redhead and the most hypnotizing eyes. He was dressed in the gray tailor made Armani suit clinging perfectly to his broad chest and shoulders. This is not what I expected at all and I have to say I am disappointed.

His face was not wrinkly at all or that he was old. The man on the table had the most chiseled face and he was young, perhaps my age or a little bit older. This was a woman's wet dream in front of me because I could see it with the look of the women who kept glancing at him. I didn't know Perkins would send me a Greek god instead of a business man.

Was he one of his assistants? If he is then he's damn hot. Perkins knows how to choose his employees.

The man was s*x on the legs just sitting poised in the chair staring right at me with his unwavering gaze. It was intimidating but I knew I could intimidate too. I put my game face the sexiest smile I have mastered.

Although this is not what I expected, I had to keep my cool. Perhaps this was my pawn to meeting Perkins.

I finally reached the table where the guy immediately stood up his height towering over mine.

Damn the guy was tall too.

"Mrs. Nielsen?" he asked and I nodded.

He pulled out the chair for me like a gentleman where I inhaled a whiff of his masculine cologne. The guy smelled heavenly. I would never get tired of his scent. He smirked at me when he settled in his seat flashing me his perfect white pearly teeth.

This was not an assistant according to my observation and with that I was now curious to who this man was. No assistant could afford an expensive Armani like his and they wouldn't be fully collected like him. His presence was intimidating which no assistant could pull off.

"I have to say this is not what I expected." he said gazing at me amused.

With our proximity, I could tell clearly that his eyes were chartreuse. The pale green was just so wonderful and I could get lost in it but right now, it was game on.

"I could say the same for me." I replied calmly.

"It is quite interesting that Nielsen Corp is headed by such a beautiful young lady."

He wasn't flirting with me because there was no hint of flattery in his baritone masculine voice. He meant his words which made my heart warm.

"I actually expected to meet an old man but I should say, I am impressed." I smiled at him.

"Where would the fun be having to seat with an old man for hours discussing business? We needed to spice things up." he winked at me as he smiled.

His boyish dimpled grin was so unbelievable, it forced a chill down my spine.

The waitress interrupted asking for out orders. I didn't need to read the menu to know what I wanted, I already knew it by heart.

"Arroz con pollo and picadillo with a bottle of red wine. The best you have." I ordered.

The waitress pretended to write down my order but in other words she was staring at him.

I rolled my eyes when she flirtatiously asked him what she would have.

"The same," he replied dismissively not even bothered to look at her.

I was now more intrigued to get to know this man. He was surely one of a kind.

"Spice things up? That has surely worked, hasn't it?" I teased as we waited for our orders.

"Seeing by the way you checked me out, I can say it worked. You wouldn't have to bear with an old face when you have this in front of you." he cockily smirked motioning to his face.

"Cocky, are we?" I muttered arching my brow at him.

"It comes with a lot of experience, one is being sexually molested by women." he chuckled and it was hard for me not to follow.

"Tell me about that." I asked curiously.

"When women undress you in their brains. That is molesting." he chuckled.

I couldn't help but stare at him as he laughed, he was beautiful. I had even forgotten why we were here in the first place. I didn't even know his name at that.

"Leaving that aside, well I would like us to discuss why we are here." I said seriously.

"Business mode I see, I like a woman who knows what she wants not only in bed but business too." he smirked.

This man was unbelievable, he was now flirting with me which was working guessing by the blush on my neck.

"My father is a very busy business man but I am here on his behalf, Nicholas Perkins." he introduced.

I was shocked at this new found news. Nothing talked about him having a son. This was my family's murderer's son in front of me.

"Patricia Nielsen," I said gazing carefully at him.

They were nothing familiar, Nicholas was just something else but it didn't remove the fact that he was the son of my enemy.

The waitress returned with our orders where I took a long gulp of the wine. This night had turned upside down from what I imagined.

"I like women with a great taste." Nicholas smirked at me his words holding several meanings.

"Then you might love a lot of women because most of them have a great taste." I retorted staring at him.

"That's where you are wrong now, I don't like lingerie, very sexy but not my taste though most women think men like me find it sexy. I like a natural woman, thongs can do." he smiled as he took a bite.

I was even surprised that we were talking about thongs and lingerie. I was a serious woman when it came to business but this man has got my game changing without even trying.

"You sound boring." I said in a teasing tone.

"You wouldn't say that after testing me of course." he smirked at me causing a simple blush on my cheeks.

"I am an ethical and appropriate woman. I don't sleep with my associates for anything in the world." I muttered in a hard tone.

"Don't get your panties in a twist Patricia. I can actually tell you are a thong woman." Nicholas winked at me the second time in not more than an hour.

I blushed furiously at his comment because he was right. I was more of a thong woman because I didn't have anyone to impress by wearing sexy lingerie. I only had my soft bed to return to which thinking about it now sounded boring.

We ate quietly our food while we gazed at each other sometimes which was kind of awkward. I am glad the silence was comfortable. When we finished the food, the waiter brought my favourite chocolate cake dessert and just a cup of coffee for Nicholas.

"And that brings us to business Mr. Perkins." I mentioned gazing at him.

"I can say I already like you Patricia."

Hearing my name on his tongue caused the chill again. It sounded so sexy from his mouth with his British accent. It is the best I have heard in years.

"I guess you already read the papers of our company and it is not doing so well and we think Nielsen Corp is the answer." he said attentively.

"It may sound like a gone dead deal but look at it on the bright side of we rise again and M&D becomes a huge success not only in the states but also in England." he coaxed.

"It is quite interesting how such a great company like Perkins is falling despite the good financial papers I read, don't you think so Nicholas?" I asked in a mocking tone.

"You are right about that but I have to tell you that business is business, you will never know what happens, now do we Patricia?" Nicholas replied calmly.

"I will have to discuss it with my board of directors and see the way forward." I said as I ate my chocolate cake.

"It would be a pleasure doing business with you Patricia but you know I didn't fly over that huge ocean for nothing." he said gazing into my eyes.

"We'll have to see about that Nicholas." I replied my gaze intent at him.

I already knew I would give him the deal whether the board wanted or not, I had a revenge to do. I have to destroy Elias' life just like he destroyed mine.
