Hurdson Chemical technologies.
Webb POV
I stared at the celebrity magazine for a long time and lost in my thoughts.
Fanuel Hurdson,The only son and heir to Hurdson Chemicals.
He could pass from a model,he was annoyingly cute and he seems arrogant, aaargh!! I hate him already.
Nothing should make him come to Jersey City yet, atleast not yet. Not when I'm beginning to harness all the goodies and wealth in disguise of being a manager. If heaven was a company then it should be Hurdosn chemicals.
I've achieved a lot from this position and I'm never going to back down.
Mr Hurdson's trust towards me and the affairs of his company is a sweet wine to savour into. I can't believe I own a car and a Duplex in Chicago.
Life is good, I'm living my very best but something keeps tugging in my heart as i remembered something.
That bitchy Christine is coming back and something tells me she will be really fiesty this time around.
She's done with college and I'm expecting a new bitchy her. I'm going to make a surprise welcome party for her, I'm doing that to win the trust of her mum,my dear wife and she will have no option than to succumb to choice of her mum.
How perfect.
My secretary came over and submitted a report for last week meeting. She was dazzling in her milky white jumpsuit with her stilettos all making cranky sounds with every step she makes.
"Good morning sir,Oak Bay mining investors are here. They wish to see you to discuss about the development of the last project so far."
"Is it about the oil they supplied?" Webb asked scrunching his nose with his fingers.
"Yes sir,and the 2 trillion dollar investment." My eyes snapped open when she said that.
Two wah…..?
I had retrieved 900 million for the construction and building of the ongoing estate I wished to manage.
70 million had gone to the car I had purchased for my wife few days ago and 20 million for my son who stays overseas for his study and would be back anytime soon.
"eeerrmm…tell them to come back in two weeks time, we haven't sorted the project yet."
"Two weeks sir? I doubt they will leave.This project has been pending since last month,the least we could do is to show them how far we've progressed with it."
"Celine!!! Tell them to come in two weeks time and stop blabbering! Leave my office,I have other important thiings to attend." Celine bowed and left the office.
I heave a sigh of relief and I pondered hard on what to do next.
Maybe I'll just have to wait for the next investors,then i can use that to my advantage and claim it to be their own project.
Problem solved it shouldn't be this hard.
All I should think of now is how to get home and prepare a stupid silly party.
*****
"Christine, Promise me that you won't drool over him" Diana shrieked and asked.
She kept talking about her celebrity CEO who is yet to return to Jersey City and insisted that I take a glance at him.
I rolled my eyes at her and replied her silly question.
"I promise." I say and she stood dramatically opening the magazine before me .
"tadaaaa!!". She clapped her hands as if some important event is taking place and I laughed.
"I can't believe this the crap you wanted to show me,holy grail!! Diana
Get a hold of yourself."
She sighed and jumped back on the bed.
"What planet did they breed you? You're so blind to see how cute he is,I just wished he would come back."
"Really,does he knows whether you exist?"
"He doesn't need to know,he's far better off than Hart."
I laughed out,Hart was a celebrity singer Diana stumbled upon and confessed her undying love for him. Yeah,he was her biggest fan but he ignored her like someone didn't say a word.
She was broken. She disliked him so much that she became his enemy instead of her favourite.
"You're still hut huh? Take heart dearie maybe you were too short for him to hear your words of passion."
"Stop it Christine" she yelled.
Now Fanuel wasn't handsome as she described earlier,He was hot!
Hot as in pepper, Perfect chisels jaws and the sexiest smile that could make you squirt. Studied chemical engineering in Canada and a fashion magazine model.
"Is he single?" I find myself asking…mistakenly.
"Omg!!! You're drooling over him! Christine you promised!"
"Silly girl,just get out okay"
"You're even asking if he's single,No way girl!! How can someone this hot be single? I can't believe you would ask that."
"Oh! I thought as much,so who is this unlucky Fiancee."
"It's me bitch" she screamed at me.
"You don't need to be so excited about a dream that will never become a reality,stop wasting your strength."
"I hate you Christine."
"I love you Diana." We both laughed at our stupidity and headed home.
We both went to my place first and I must confess a lot has changed.
A new model Toyota Camry was screaming beauty under the rays of the hot sun,and the exterior building of our home was like the white house.
Wow!! I Guess Webb Is doing a good job to please mum.
I entered and what greeted me threw me off guard. A welcome surprise party with decorated balloons strings on each end of the walls. Light colour bulbs was hanging beneath the fancy ribbons and sweet Candies was displayed around the beautiful chocolate cake. My mouth watered instantly.
I felt awed,I can't believe mum would go the extra mile to make me feel this welcomed. I rushed to her and engulf myself in her embrace.
"Thank you Mum,this is beautiful" I tell her and she smiled.
"You're welcome sweetheart,guess what? Easton Is here!!
"Really!! You don't mean it"
"Of course I do."
"That's great,let me check up on him then"
"There will be no need for that,just get in and thank your Dad." She said and my countenance changed immediately.
Diana pecked Mum on the cheeks and went to the kitchen to get knives to cut the cake claiming it's her job and duty.
"Thank Webb for what?"
"He did all these hun,the least you can say is thank you dad" Mum said pleadingly and I almost snort at her naiveness.
I want to scream never and walk away, I want to shout in her eardrum that Webb isn't the guy for her,I want to smack her head so bad for falling for a devil who ripped her virginity and repeatedly lure other men to have their share.
I feel a lump in my throat,I want to cry but I shouldn't ruin today, Easton is back and I shouldn't let him see me that way. I wonder why he's not as monstrous as his dad,I wonder why he's nice,why he cares and looks after me so much. I just wonder why.
I smile at mum and agreeded.
"Fine mum,I will go over and thank….D..a..d" i dissappeared from her sight the moment I drawled those forbidden words.
He was there, sitting in his wickedness and looking for his next prey to devour.I started without permission and ended without permission.
"Dear wicked dad,thank you for destroying my Life. Thank you for covering a dark veil in mum's face as you hit her daughter behind her back,thank you for inviting those chipmunks you call friends for having my flesh to satisfy their carnal desires….". I sniffed and let the tears roll freely.
"T..thank you for ruining my life and making a surprise party to celebrate your demonic mission"
Someone gasped from behind and I felt my heart flew,I almost peed on my body. Lord! Who could it be.
I slowly turned my head to meet him,I could see the horrified look on his face,No he was indescribable.
"Easton" I gasped.
He stared at me and stared back at his father.
"I came to tell you that your boss,CEO of Hurdson company was involved in a ghastly car accident."
