Selfish Person

As the butler opened the main living hall door, Cade walked out without sparing a glance at Helena that stood there expressionless, she saw him and the background investigations she made about him matched his aura, the man is cold like the iceberg, that works well with her agenda.

She needed him to be cold, but if he is too infatuated with his secretary, she also considered the possibility of backing out from the deal, she hated love triangle, not that she is in a relationship, but it can be described as that in general...

The butler lead her to take a seat near the old master, she sat on the brown leather sofa crossing her legs with confident while her eyes wandering to every inch of the Manor living hall, from the gold decorated ceiling to the marble floor and she cant help but to admire the architecture details this manor has to offer. Magnificent!

No wonder they are the most rich families through out Asia and probably ranking in the top 5 riches clan in Europe and America. The sofa she sat alone give the sense of luxury and pride.

Helena locked eyes with the old master as he drink the tea that his butler serves, they remain quiet for few minutes, Old Master Anderson observes the quiet Helena, and he can sense an aura that is strong radiating from her, it reminded him of his late wife, Gianna, he pushed all the memories and started a conversations.

"I'm sure Lorenzo has explained everything to you" he placed the porcelain tea cup back to the saucer.

"More or less" she still not backing down from her gazed on him.

"Hmm..i need someone i know that is capable enough to be near Cade."

"I see..." she ponder for few seconds..

"So who is the woman with him that you are not a big fan of, old master" she smiled.

Old master Anderson lips curved upwards, this woman is too sharp, and it makes him happier with his choice even more.

"Insignificant, i will get rid of her."

"Now....now.. old master, that is unwise, if this woman is important to Cade, that will not be good for you to do anything to her, leave her to me.." she pursed her lips and tap her fingers gently on her knee. She also need to know how far their relationship goes, if its deeper than she thought she wants out.

"Its only a small infatuations, i wouldn't call that love, that brat has never been in love before, so perhaps he is confuse." He insist his theory based on his observations.

" i am sure you know what is my occupations don't you"

"Yes.. and that's the more reason i want you to be the one next to him and not that useless scheming secretary of his" he spat out the words in disdain, every time he thinks about the incident of Cade jeopardizing his safety to save the spineless woman, his blood boil to his brain.

Helena saw the old master face darken, she pretty sure he hates the woman to the core, but how can a meek woman existence in his grandson life matters too much. After all skills can always be learn, fighting to fed for herself wasn't a difficult task to do.

"Well i know what to do, but so you know, your grandson might not agrees, and if he does, i will definitely has to sign so many rules and conditions and at the same time, if the so called infatuations you mention is much more than that, I'm out!" she rolled her eyes.

"Of course whatever agreement we have will be between us, cade and i, all you need to do is to convince him to marry me, I'm not doing this for the sake of anyone, i am doing this for me. For i am a selfish person myself, but be sure, my existence wont harm him" Helena stood and bow slightly to him. She is straightforward with her words, she doesn't believe in riddles, or hidden meaning, life is too complicated enough for humans to beat around the bush.

She walked out of the manor and get in her car to her house.

***

Molly sat on the computer desk in dazed, she overheard the conversations between Cade Anderson and Anwar after they return from the manor. Her heart broke into pieces, she tried hard not too cry, but her feelings betrayed her mind as of now, and tear drops slowly dripping on the table.

She heard the door open and wiped her tears in hurry. Her sniffles is caught by Anwar that just exiting the cade's office.

He doesn't know how to console her, this is common in rich families, where the elders find the bride they deem as a perfect match for their heir. Molly is amazing however with her background and educations, she is sadly not a good match with Cade, the attempt on his life is on a daily basis, and Molly will be the biggest distractions for him.

Anwar phone rang and he looked at Molly and give her a helpless smiles, she nodded and resume her works, pushing the thoughts at the back of her mind. She needs to prove that she can stand next to him, to be even a better version of herself.

She hasn't seen the woman yet, but she knows the old master specifically choose her, that means she is not a simple person.

"Aah" she cupped her face in frustrations...

She didn't realized Cade is watching her from the cctv monitor, Molly is the only woman that didn't repulses him, he is also confused of what kind of feelings he has for her, its not to the point of love yet, but she made him feel comfortable, he sighed and click the x button at the corner top of his monitor to close the surveillance and continue working.

He will figured a way to dodge the married deal even if he has to make Daniel go through with it.
