Chapter 16: The Red Haired Woman
"Women are like roads, the more curves, the more dangerous they are."
-Mae West-
***
“Vodka on the rocks, please.” Ian ordered as he entered sat in front of the bar. Once he got his drink, he brought it to a table where a red haired woman was seated. She was looking down on her drink and lifted her face up as soon as he was seated. Her icy blue eyes met his.
“What are you doing here? How do you know where I am?” She asked with a slight Russian accent that she developed from her mother.
“It has been a while, Catherine.” Ian spoke as he took a shot of his drink. She was about to stand up and leave when he grabbed her hand and held it so firmly it was impossible for her to leave. She turned her head around with a displeased expression.
“What do you want?” She asked as she tried to release her hand.
“Sit down, there is something I need to talk about with you.&

"To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often."-Winston Churchill-***“Ezra, what’s my schedule for the day?” Victoria asked as soon as she arrived in the office. Ezra was a bit surprised by her sudden change of attitude. Somehow, she became more serious than she ever did that day.“Okay, let me see. You will be having a meeting with some of our new investors. Most are new money. They have a different set of methods and mindsets from our early investors and I think the reason why they have taken an interest in our company is due to your idea of expanding our products range.” He explained.“I know. How many of them?” She asked.“Around three. Here are their profile.” He handed her over the profile of the new investors. All male.Victoria thought they would be easier to deal with than female investors. It was a relief from her side because she

She had contacted him in advance to tell him that there would be an additional party but she didn’t mention who it was because she didn’t want her brother to google this man in advance.Andreas was an easygoing man but he was also somewhat skeptical of the people around her, some called it brotherly protection but for Victoria, it was just him having some cautious side. It was only when Andreas was present did she tell him about Ian.“His name is Octavian Carlson. He’s a business associate of mine. I have this personal deal to meet him once a week on the weekend but you called and I was about to cancel on him when he made a suggestion that the three of us are going together. So here we are.” She explained.Andreas had never met this man before but for some reason he had a bad feeling about it. A few minutes later, the door was opened and Ian

"Misfortune never arrives alone."-French Proverb-***Ian just got back from his date with Victoria when he was approached by Lucas who looked like he was running out of breath. He was panicking and Lucas wasn’t exactly a man who panicked easily. Ian didn’t like how things were looking.“What’s going on!?” He asked.“One of our warehouse has been attacked by someone and they are burning all the stocks inside. We don’t know who’s doing this but we need to make another shipment in two days and it’s impossible to get the same amount at such short period of time. I’m afraid our clients will complain and start seeking the supply from Qunston.” He explained.Ian knew one day something like that was bound to happen but he wasn’t exactly prepared for it. He couldn’t let some of his most loyal clients get their supply from Darren Quinston, his lif

I want her to be by my side when I am awake. Do you understand?” He asked.Lucas didn’t know why he would ask for Victoria but he nodded anyway and then Ian was brought out of sight.Lucas didn’t know what he was supposed to do in that situation so he only did as Ian requested.He picked up Ian’s phone that was left in his hand and searched his contact until he found Victoria’s name in there.He dialed her number and not long after, she picked up the phone.

"I learned the real meaning of love. Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade but loyalty never fades."-Sylvester Stallone-***Darius was anxiously waiting for Victoria in the living room. She was late and it bothered him. She was supposed to arrive home around two hours ago but even after dinner was ready, she still wasn’t there and there was no news of her.He couldn’t contain himself any longer and decided to pick up his phone to call Jasper. His job was to drive her to and from work that day, he should know something about it.“Jasper, do you know where Victoria is right now, she hasn’t been back and I’m worried for her.” He admitted. Jasper was silent for a few seconds before he answered.“Right now she’s at the hospital.” He confessed.“What? What’s wrong with her? Is she injured?” He panic and Jasper had to quickly calme

"A villain always preferred luring the heroine to his lair."-Susan Elizabeth Phillips-***“You seem distracted.” Lucas said as he sat in the hospital’s room seat.“What do you mean by that? I am perfectly fine. I got shot on my shoulder, not my head.” He replied with a hint of sarcasm.“That’s not what I mean. I saw the way you looked at Victoria when she came over. You definitely wasn’t acting around. You were truly smitten with her.”“I don’t know what you are talking about. If I’m going to seduce her, isn’t it better to make it appear as realistic as possible. If you thought I looked genuine it means my acting is believable, because there is no way I am smitten with that woman.” Lucas sighed.This man could deny it all he wanted but he saw something sparked in his eyes the moment Victoria stepped inside the room. It was completely out of character for him and Lucas was getting really worried about it.“Just remember the reason why you are around her in the first place. If you fal

"We've all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on, that's who we really are."-Sirius Black-***Victoria felt incredibly awkward as she was seated across Ian in his own home. They were at his dining room and she thought the gathering would mean everyone would stand up and eat or each would have their own seats, but no.It was an exception with her because she was the only one seated and she also noticed there was absolutely no other women even inside the house.“If this is a gathering, how come there are no women around?” She asked.“That’s because I only work with men. Women are troublesome to work with.” Victoria was slightly offended by his rather misogynistic remark.“I am a woman and you are working with me.” She argued.“That’s because you are special. You are more capable. With other women, it’s usually a different story.” He replied back.For Ian, it was also troublesome how women who dealt with him in the past always ended up posse

"One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning."-James Russell Lowell-***“I never thought this day would come. The day when I finally meet you face to face after the humiliation you did to my family on the day you broke off your engagement with my daughter.” The man spoke with hatred and disappointment in his eyes.“And I never thought you would accept an invitation to meet with me. For that, I would like to thank you.” Ian stated. It was a miracle that Charles Dawn was willing to meet on the neutral ground.Of course, only when he was accompanied by ten bodyguards on his side, all private military trained. The man would never slack off when it came to his own safety. Ian himself also brought ten of his men so it would be an equal number.“Just tell me what our business here is so I can get back home sooner.” Charles spoke, slowly losing his patience. He poured
