Crossed paths

Chapter 2 His Will

Jack

I can't believe it. Why is my dad doing this to me? I looked outside my office window. The whole city was could be seen from here, this scene always calmed me down but now it not having any effect 

My father wants me to be part of a stupid reality show what was its name.....yeah "LOVE HUNT FOR BILLIONAIRE". Who does even watch these kinds of shows or believe them to be real? If only love could be found in a show. 

I have far more important things to do. I run a billion dollars company and can purchase the complete show and there won't even be a dent in my bank account. 

But my father believes that this show will help me find love. If only he knew that I have no interest in love. 

It's not like I don't like women it's just that I don't do love anymore I only f**k. I don't take a girl out more than one night. That's my rule, no relationship. o****m and lust is the only thing I want to feel. 

Many people don't like my philosophy especially girls who want to marry me but I like my bachelor's life too much to fall into that trap. Anyway, there is never a problem in finding a willing woman for a night of unattached s*x when you are Fobes's most handsome billionaire. 

But at present, I have bigger problems to solve. My dream project 'lily' will not get approved by the board without my father's vote of confidence who has decided to not approve it until I participate in that reality show. I have been working on this project for 3 years now.  

It will be the first-ever company to manufacture full-fledged human robots which would be used in the hospital to do a hazardous job in hospitals and the army.

But my father has put a million dollars project on a show. I don't know what is his obsession with it.  The last thing I would like to do in this world is going to a show full of vain gold digger models. 

He is simply blackmailing me because he knows that I would never start this project without our company as it was my mother's idea.

Frustrated I sat on my desk not finding any way to avoid it. 

"Alle, come into my office,"  I said in intercom calling at my secretary's desk.

I am glad I have her to manage all things in the office. She is the most competent secretary I have ever found. She has been with me for the last 6 years and is among the most loyal people in my life 

 But I hate her name 'Allena' name of the woman I hate most in the world, only women who I never want to see in my life again. So I use her pet name Alle. 

Alle enters the office. 

"Sir, I have made all arrangements with MTVSS for the show and for you to work from outside the office during the period.   Do you need anything else "

Alle said calmly so opposite to the storm going on in my head. 

"No All I told you that you could delegate all that work with your upcoming wedding, "I said truthfully.  She was very hardworking and deserved all happiness. 

"Thank you, sir, But I don't trust anyone with those requirements than I do so I ensured that all things are done. I still  feel I should postpone it and help you with this reality show" she said sincerely 

"No need I will manage myself.  Anyway, they will be providing me an assistant there. You can go have fun and congratulations on your wedding  "

"Thank you, I will see you in a month " and she left the office. 

I completed my work and then left the office. In parking, I saw mine was the only car all employees have already left. I have been working for 10 hours every day. I guess I need a break from work. Why not kill two birds with a stone.  This show will give me a break and then I can concentrate on my project. 

I reached home but instead of going to my office to work more, I went straight to my bed to sleep. 

Next day

I get up at 7 am feeling more refreshed than I  have in the last few days. I went to the gym and start exercising and lost track of time.  My phone rings with shows reminder so I got ready and went to shoot. 

I reached set and a young man came running towards.

"Mr. Paul, good morning. I am William your assistant, Your room is ready as per Ms. Alle instructed and shoot is Alison ready if you wish to shoot first" he said all in one breath 

"Relax you don't need to be so nervous I am not going to kill you if miss one instructions "

"Sorry sir, it's my first job I don't want to miss any details in it "

"I understand.  I would like to shoot the single promo first" 

"This way sir" and he leads me into the set which felt like a circus with so many people working.
