"Why are you here again?"

"I came to thank you for allowing me and Jean to see each other."

Ever since Alex met Jean at our graduation he's been heads over heels for her.I had to forbid them from dating because it was going to get awkward once they start hanging out or making out in front of me.

Way awkward.

I knew that they were seeing each other behind my back but I let them be.

"I know you guys were together even after I told you not to date my sister."

His face went completely white.

"You knew...?"

"How dumb did you guys think I was."

"...and you said nothing ?"

"You make her happy...and that's all that matters."

The buzzer on my desktop goes on interrupting out conversation. I receive the call.

It's Rachel.

She reminds me I have a board meeting in five minutes.
Alex dismisses me and stands up to leave.

He stops at the door and turns.

"I'd like to meet her.I don't remember the last time I saw you smile like the way you did earlier. like I said... she's one special lady."

I roll my eyes and shoo him away.

                   ***

The meeting takes the whole morning and once it's done I'm beyond exhausted. I get a free ten minutes before the next meeting starts and I decided to have a cup of coffee.

The second meeting starts ten minutes past one o'clock and ends at three.

I then head across the city to meet with a potential investor.

When I get back to my office I slump on the chair and let out a heavy sign as I close my eyes.

It's six o'clock.

I'm hungry and exhausted.

"That's how everyday is going to be when I officially hand the company to you."

I knew it was his cologne I smelt the moment I walked in.

What is he even doing here ?

"You needed something ?" I ask him not bothering to open my eyes.

"I came to talk business. I'm declining the power project started in Indiana and Florida..."

That gets my attention and I abruptly get up from my chair.

"You can't decline it cause I didn't ask for your permission."

This is why my father and I never got along. There's nothing I do that he approves of.

He clears his throat and continues, "...it's a waste of money and resources."

"I met up with an investor who agreed to cover all costs pertaining to the Indiana-Florida power project. It's all for a good cause."

He shrugs and turns his head indicating a clear no.

"You are never going to believe in me are you ?"
I ask while striding  towards him.

"Everything I do is a risk...a disappointment...bwaste of money and resources...That's why you're still holding on to the company, because you don't think I can handle it !"

We stare at each other for a while before he turns to leave.

"I wish mum was here." I mutter between clenched teeth.

He stops for a while but continues walking.

I know he can hear the hurt in my voice.

                       ***

The drive to the mansion is awfully quiet. I was too angry and tired to drive so I called Edward my chauffer to come pick me up.

I wanted to stay at the mansion tonight.I needed the peace and quiet that surrounded the place. That's one of the many reasons why I bought the place.

       
                    ***

I open the door to the mansion quietly so as not to wake up Ellen or Chicago incase they were light sleepers. As I head for the staircase the faint music coming from the living room stops me from going any further.

I head for the living room to see where the music is coming from only to find Chicago seated on the floor.

Her back is to me so she's not aware of my presence. The faint lighting in the room was making her skin appear a faint brown.

She had on a pair of grey shorts and a white tank top that clinged to her so tightly. Her brunette hair was in a messy bun. She was busy typing something on her laptop.

The book probably.

Next to her laptop is a box of chocolates and kit kats.

She has a sweet tooth... interesting.

She has on reading glasses which I didn't know she uses, but come to think about it there's a lot of things I don't know about Chicago.

She shifts from her sitting position to cross her legs. That's when I saw the faint stretch marks on her thighs and I immediately get hard.

Who knew stretch marks were such a turn on ?

This was going to be a very long night.I should go to my room before doing anything stupid.

I head for the staircase quietly making sure my presence remains unknown. When I enter my room I head straight for the bathroom to take a cold shower.

Chicago is going to be the death of me one of these days.
