“So what is it you want to change in this now?” James asked.“The deal had some mistakes in it, and we can’t work on it until we make the changes.” Lucas replied.“What should I change in it?” James asked, his butt rocking the chair and his eyes checking all the offices.“Everything.” Lucas said, making James whip his head towards him.“What!” He snapped.“The deal is very bad, and because of your efforts and how genuine you seem to want to work with nirvana, we won’t want to spend our resources with something like this.”“We think if it would be something along the entertainment genre that something of your deal is written in, not the business part. It’s too..” Lucas said, tapping his hands gently on the table.“It’s not what we’re looking for.” He concluded.All the hope James had in mind shattered that instant, his jaws clenched together and gritting his teeth amidst it.“Then what the heck! Why did you call me here! What is the essence!” James raged out.“This is an office setting
“My boy, what’s wrong with you?” James' mother rushed down the stairs.“I need to speak to all of you now, if not, the rich lifestyle you think you’re living now would be gone in a twinkle of an eye.” He added, ignoring his mother and walking to a chair to sit down.“And what does that mean?” His father walked down the stairs with his grandmother by his side.“He looks distressed. What could be going on with him?” Grandmother said before walking to her son.“Tell us what’s wrong. You can’t solve this alone.” She added.“Ohh! You want to know what’s wrong, how about you all sit down and I explain to you about the company state that might collapse two days from now.” He brushed them away as their heart sank loudly.Exchanging glances with her son, his grandmother sat down immediately and looked at James, waiting for him to say something.“What’s wrong?” Douglas asked.“So Nirvana promised us a deal..”“That’s good news.” His mom chipped in with a smile on her lips.“That’s not okay!” He
Clenching his jaw so tight as he could, he could only stand there and watch their interactions, the both of them playing with each other. Dylan would turn to Reyna and say some words to her, earning a smile while he just stood there and watched her.“What’s your business with them?” A voice startled him, making his heart skip a beat as he turned back to see who was talking.Joe eyed him as he looked at the direction he was looking at.“She looks…happy.”“She’s not sad with me too, mind your words.” Niko retorted.“Good then. Let’s go. I have something to tell you.”“I’m taking her home with me. I’m not leaving here until I see her.” Niko said, standing rooted to the ground.“Okay then.” Joe replied.The door opened all of a sudden as Nikos eyes widened, Joe walked to where Reyna was seated and tapped her, making Niko turn away from them.“I’m going to kill that son of a butch.” He muttered under his breath.After saying some words to her, Reyna nodded and looked back at Dylan. Some ot
“Shit!” Reyna muttered as she clenched her jaw.“Reyna, is that you?” His voice echoed out through the room.Niko looked at the man that was talking before looking at Reyna. He had seen this person somewhere, but he couldn’t figure out where he saw this man. Somewhere, in a..:“Who is he?” He whispered to Reyna’s ear.“Let’s leave this place. Please…..let’s leave this place.” She whispered, her hands tugging his.“So this is what you’ve been doing all this days? Following a man all around!” He yelled into her face before looking at Niko.His eyes sized Niko up, finally resting on Niko eyes.“You’re the playboy of that family. Your brother is there, working his ass out and you’re here, taking a girl that’s not worth anything out.”“Excuse me..”“Keep quiet.” Reyna uncle shut him off before dragging Reyna out of that place.Niko stood there rooted, not knowing what to do or what to say. His eyes went to Joe who was already at the counter, ordering some food. He walked towards him, placi
Niko carried Reyna into her room even though she was wide awake. He dropped her gently on the bed, going out back to collect the food from Joe.“What happened?” Joe asked as he passed him the food.“I want you to deal with her uncle. He trespassed, deal with him.” Niko said.“Okay..” Joe said as he turned to leave.“And look more into Reyna for me, I think there’s something we don’t know.” He added before walking away.He climbed the staircase back to Reynas' room, the sound of the bathroom water flowing. He dropped the food on the floor before going to his room to change into casual clothes. He had stood at the door, hearing every word the man said to her.“A dark night..” it rang in his head again.Was Reyna not their child? Or what did he mean? He changed into a short and a top, walking back to Reyna's room to see her face all dried and herself putting on some comfortable clothes.“Let’s eat.” Niko said.“I’m not hungry.” She muttered back.Walking to her bed, he carried the food a
Niko was the one that dropped Reyna off the next day at school, parking in front of the school as he waited for her to drop.“You didn’t need to do this.” Reyna rolled her eyes as she leaned down the car.“Get down and have a fun day at the school. If she bullies you, let me know, I’ll have someone treat her fuck up, understood?” Niko said to her.Reyna lips curled up as she heard this, glancing at him.“You worry too much.” She muttered.“Have loads of fun at school. If anyone tries to bring up her encounter, call me immediately.” He added.“Okay. Okay. Okay daddy.” Reyna said, chuckling after.The words rolled out her mouth in a sexual way, making them exchange a glance.“I’ll get out now.” Reyna cleared her throat, opening the car and getting out of it.Niko smiled as he watched her saunter off the school, the words ‘daddy’ echoing in his brain again. He loved the sound of it, and he wished he had told her ‘take care baby.’Starting the car, he drove out from the school with a happ
After explaining how everything happened, down to the part that he took her hand to Larissa, they finally left the cafeteria. Dragging her to a boutique to buy some pretty dresses and some pretty heels, according to her.“You have the money. Spend a part of yourself.” Larissa said to her.She was right. Maybe she could just dress nice and look good tonight. Not for anything as it was just a harmless date between two project mates.“Alright.” She said, delving more into the ranges of cloth put up.“This red should fit you. What about this white? And this pink? Oh gosh, all of this is so pretty..” Larissa rambled out, her eyes gauging each cloth and her hand scanning them.Reyna just followed suit, checking the dresses as Larissa checked them finished.“How about this black?” Reyna asked.“What! You’re not wearing black! Why should you wear black to the date!” Larissa exclaimed, rolling her eyes and walking away.Reyna examined the dress, the texture was soft and the length was somethin
Taking a deep breath in front of the mirror, Reyna took a look at herself for the hundredth time, turning back and forth in the mirror. A necklace sat on her neck, down to the middle of her breast. It was a tight fitted long sleeved dress that hung to every part of her body.She poured her hair down, combining it and bringing the beauty out of it. Sighing again, she carried her black purse, reading the last text Dylan had sent to her about him almost here and walked to the door. Opening the door and glancing downstairs if Niko wasn’t there. She peeped and peeped, sure the coast was clear before walking out. Her heels made their sounds in the tiles, and her hand brushed the railings as she stepped each of the stairs after the other.“Is he here already?” She heard Niko say, stopping her in her tracks.“He’s almost here.” She replied without turning to look at him.The next thing she heard were footsteps, making her continue her walk as she got down from the stairs. Before he could reac
