• N a t h a n' s POV •
Today is Saturday, my timebased plan is very simple. Weekends are just the days that I merely live a free day. No employees to yell at and no business clients to discuss with. All I do is, take my morning workout at the gymnasium and head to my favorite café, Always for Brew to have some coffee and a nice time.
Entering the café which looked the way it has always been, the Hollywood cerise chairs arranged in random rows, the glass structured coffee tables with cyan table cloths laid on them and all workers dressed corporately in their checkered fuchsia uniforms.
I spotted an empty table, walking towards it, someone bumped into me. Ugh...I really hate when people do that. I stared at the low life who did that. It's a girl, I couldn't see her face because she bent over to pick her phone.
"Err.... I'm so sorry, I was- ", she cuts her sentence right after she saw my face.
"You?"
"You!"
The drama queen is here and she dares to bump into me. Is she blind or something?. Last time, she troubled me so much because I collided with her car.
By the way, what's she doing at such a high class café?...Oh, she probably came to take selfies to update her status. Typical middle class. Anyways, I've got to put her in her place today!.
"How dare you bump into me?. I can clearly see eyes plastered on your face, aren't they working right?", I blurted out.
"It was a mistake, okay?, we both made it, we both were clumsy and I've already apologized now it's your turn, Mr Grumpy!", she said, audaciously.
She even dares to nickname me, she's really got the nerves. "Who are you exactly?", I asked confidently.
"Well, if you seem so curious to know who I am Milana Wesley, the famous Rob Wesley's first daughter"
I'm totally stupefied, hearing her say this. I can't believe she's Rob Wesley's daughter. They both have the same action and annoying words running through their veins. It's definitely a family trait. I see why she has an expensive car and can afford to eat at a high class café .
"Mr Grumpy, what'ya thinking about?. Are you surprised to hear my identity?. Why so?. She questioned, snapping her fingers which brought me back to reality.
"People are watching us. Quit making a scene here, okay?", I said, walking out on her. She held my hand back. What does she want?
"You started this and now you're just walking away?", she said, rolling her eyeballs.
"I got better things to do than to talk to weirdos like you", I spat and I walked over to the empty table.
I stare at her, she looked confused. Maybe she's wondering why I acted like that. Well, I don't care. She gave me a death glare and exited the café.
-----------------------------
"Good Morning, Nathan", Russ greeted, dropping some files on the shelf.
"Sit!", I said, smiling at him and gesturing my hands to the chair in front of me.
"Ah, Nathan, you're in such a good mood today. Why so?", Russ questioned, looking bewildered at my happy mood today.
"Yes, Russ, yes", I elatedly said.
"I have a plan and it'd knock Rob right off the business", I added, clutching my palms together.
"Are you sure it won't ruin anything. You have to be careful, what if it dents our image or puts you in trouble", Russ explained, biting his lips and looking so unsure.
"No-No, Russ. It's a full proof plan", I assured, tapping the desk.
"If you say so, but remember, I warned you. Rethink this before you dive in", he retorted, with a nervous look written on his face.
"Whatever!, I'll go to any length to stay at the top", I said, looking directly into his eyes.
"Okay. So what's the plan?", he questioned eagerly.
"Do you remember that girl who stopped us on our way to the meeting?", I asked.
"Yes I do", he answered.
"I just found out that she's Rob Wesley's daughter"
"Really?"
"Yes, Russ. I'll use her as a tool to destroy her own father's business", I said, as a smirk appeared on my face.
"How?", he questioned warily.
"I don't know if that girl is gullible enough, but I plan to act like I'm enamored with her, then when we get intense, I'll make her to sign some papers without her knowing it's a sham. All Rob Wesley's business would then be transferred to me", I said, resting my back on the leather chair.
"Um, are you sure it's a good plan?, it sounds more of a crime. Do you want to be a pseudo?", Russ frowned.
"Ugh, I wouldn't be caught. I'll stage another plan to make it seem like she transferred the business to me on her own accord. No one would ever suspect. And I'm not gonna be pseudo intellectual, it's just business tactics. Trust me", I protested.
"You just gotta help me with few things", I added.
"Okay, your wish is my command"
"I'll need you to get me Milana Wesley's information. All things about her must be gotten", I ordered.
"I'll get them ready by tomorrow morning", Russ said, adjusting his suit.
-------------------------------
To get my plan on, I'll have to apologize to her first. Russ already gave me her details, I'll find her at the NGO she goes to every Wednesdays. Lord, I never thought Nathan Reynolds would ever say sorry to that annoying girl. But it's all for me to have the best running business in Skyeville.
Knock knock
Come in!
"Good day sir, these are the set of new drafted designs. They're all here in this document", my employee, James said handing me a document.
I swiped through the files and all I see here is garbage. These designs are really awful. They don't match up to my standards.
"You think I'm here to joke?. You brought me this nonsense. The other day, I lost a contract because our designs couldn't beat Rob's. I expect you to step up and create the best designs", I complained, flinging the file across the room exasperatedly.
"S-s-sorry sir, Um- We'll try our best to create new exceptional designs", he said, trembling with fear.
"Try?. You'll try your best, you have to do your best, not try. Now. Get. Out!", I hollered. Honestly, I had lost my temper.
Russ entered my office shortly after James left, he took a seat.
"We just won a contract, Nathan. It's a big one", Russ deriliously said.
"That's great", I gloated, typing on my laptop.
Candidly, I'm so happy.
"Should I get the car ready so we'll go to the NGO at noon?, Russ asked, standing up from the chair.
"Not to worry, I'll go on my own", I replied, reassuringly.
---------------------------
I hopped out of my car and took off my sunshades. "I can't believe I'm gonna do this. Well, it's for Reynolds.
Now, I just gotta wait for that girl to come out. I won't go knock that door.
I leaned on my car and waited for some minutes. Oh god, I can't do this anymore. I entered into my car and stayed there instead. I'll wait in till she comes out.
I turned on the radio, realizing that I might wait for a longer time.
Thank lord, she just walked out of the door. I have to go meet her before she leaves here.
I swiftly got out of my car and gosh, can I apologize?
"Hey, Milana!"
"You?, what are you doing here?", she looked so shocked.........
