|6| In which she regrets talking
Bustling of the city, distinct chatters people carelessly walking on the footpath, dozens of horns blaring, everyone is busy in their own life. They don't care what happens next to them.
However, Michael isn't like that he loves to see people whenever the lights turn red, he keeps his one hand out of the window as he is giving a high five to the air. He loves to get people attention of course the good one.
Michael reached company making a grand entry using his matte black Lamborghini, rolling the sleek window, he looks outside sliding his sunglasses little lower when a girl passes with a very small skirt.
He was showing it off, why not; he got money and he will show it. Everyone around stood curiously, eyes gawking and drooling at the luxury of the car.
Everyone's eye went shot open like they will come out of their skull when they saw a stunning hot man coming out of the car and everyone started gushing and whispering with each other. Some may know or some may not know who the ravenette was?
The receptionist came running to him as she was already waiting for him. She bowed ogling his body, she was drooling, he just nodded in acknowledgement with a classic eye roll.
Michael looked at his new habitat, he was impressed with the architectural design of the building. It was modern and sleek with twinkling sparkles of technology. He walked in the lobby and with just his one gesture all turnstiles open instantly, everyone stopped in their way with hung jaws. He loves that, look at those people already worshipping him, oh how badly he wants to show all this to the beauty he met in the morning, she wouldn't have opened her mouth. He clicked his tongue and walked up to the VIP lift.
Michael exit from the lift on his designated floor. Where the CEO office was. He passed the corridor receptionist following him behind showing where the CEO office was.
He stood in front of the huge oak wood door and CEO was engraved on the steel plate along the wall. He brushed his finger feeling the words beneath them, a great feeling of proudness settling in his heart. He smiled gracefully showing his charm to everyone who was gawking at him like a delicious meal.
He twisted knob slowly, entering in he saw his father working on his laptop. He looked around a great office with a chocolate cozy feeling in it, on his left huge shelves with files and books in it. A mahogany wooden table in centre brown leather couches surrounded it. A huge wall of glass displaying a great view of the city. A small kitchen along the corner and a door which may lead to the restroom; the room was beautiful with warmth aura surrounding him. It suits his father's tastes and the complete opposite of the exterior design. If the whole building was modern and cool his dad office was grand and warm.
Reventte looked at his father who was looking at him already with a smile. He gave him a small smile too and walk to his father, his father was wearing a white shirt with checkered tie, rolled sleeves up to the elbow, and his coat hanging on the side hanger.
His father hugged him tightly and took in a breath, calming his nerve his scent was similar to his mother. Oh, how beautiful.
"Finally my son is here and now I can retire peacefully" Pulling away he gestured Michael to take a seat on the couch and planted himself beside him.
Michael looked at his dad who was pulling a plastic-wrapped dish from a carton and he noticed a few wrinkles on his forehead and around the corner of eyes his father was getting old. He just loves his dad and his dad always take too much pressure of work and that makes him take the company as soon as possible.
Joshua jutted his chin towards the take-out, he already knew what was in it, he can smell mouth-watering dish. Thank god his father bought it for him already and it made him remember the beauty which left a memory printed on his heart.
"Oh... Thank you, dad, I was craving for it " Michael thanked his dad while taking and ripping the wrap and placing a huge bite in his mouth already.
"Phoebe brought it for you and she said she had to fight with someone to bring this " His dad looked how Michael frowned thinking something.
"Huh?... Same occurred with me too. Who is Phoebe by the way?" Michael said while chewing and his dad looks at him amusingly.
"Phoebe?.. She is my secretary and soon to be yours " His dad replied and saw Michael sighed placing the dish down.
"Dad I said already I am not going to take your secretary she may be old and boring like you....I'll choose my secretary myself " Joshua cocked his eyebrow at Michael but said nothing.
"Don't worry Michael she is not old and she is perfectly fit for secretary, she will strive upon your demands okay? " Ravenette shook his head at his dad playing hard and here Joshua is thinking what Michael's reaction will be when he sees Phoebe and secretly shipping it.
"Wait let me call her, meet her and decide, how's that sound? " Joshua walked to his desk and took his intercom telling someone to call Phoebe.
After a minute office door opened and someone walked in holding a pile of files hiding their face behind.
"Papa come help meeee!" Joshua and Michael looked at the person standing in the door, who was placing a leg at the downside of the door to make it remain open.
Michael furrowed his eyebrows last time he checked he was the only son his father got, did he married again? Michael widened his eyes at the thought.
Did his dad started dating, he listened to him, he thinks not so.
"Oh, dear... Why did you bring you should have asked someone to help you " Joshua ran to Phoebe taking some files both placed the files on the side table.
" I did not want to bother anyone and you also called me, I thought I can bring them with me, you will ask me later anyhow, so don't wanna run too much y'know " Phoebe replied with a cute pout on her lips and messaging her arms adorably which were aching because of heavy files. Joshua chuckled at Phoebe.
" Come meet my son? " Phoebe frowned at Joshua who placed his hand on her back pushing her aside so that she can see Michael.
Michael's breath hitched again meeting the beauty two times in a day he may have done something to deserve such beautiful encounters. Raven head was stilled for a good few seconds but he frowned his eyebrows remembering how beauty acted towards him. Joshua was looking at his son's expression and he was satisfied with that you may say that.
"Oh ...! he is already here?" Phoebe asked without looking at Michael.
"You?! " Michael shouted pointing at phoebe and Phoebe looked from where the voice was coming.
"You... What are you doing here? " Joshua was confused at both like how they were talking to each other.
"You both know each other? " Questioned Joshua to both waving his hand pointing at Michael and Phoebe.
"You remember ..? I said you, the guy who was showing off his money he is that person" Phoebe replied to Joshua pointing at Michael.
Joshua just chuckled because he knows Phoebe doesn't like rich people and her papa Joshua was an exception but that doesn't mean his son will be spared and he can already see his son's future where both will argue and fight like cat and mouse and he will enjoy it with some popcorn.
Michael just stood there gritting his teeth at her who thought about him as a spoiled rich brat. Wasn't he a rich spoiled brat?
"No phoebe.. ! he is my son and your soon to be boss" Just like that Phoebe's throat ran dry, her skin turned into pale. She wanted to jump out of the window she just said her thoughts about soon to be boss, oh my God he is going to kill Phoebe.
Phoebe looked at Michael who was looking at her like he was asking to sell her soul. Phoebe regrets talking, cursing herself mentally for this big mouth.
