A woman I want

Gianna stood there, feeling lost at the words he just said.

What was he planing to do?

She didn't dwell much on it because someone came inside the office. It was Stephanie.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Stephanie asked, seeing her leaning against the wall. They had all seen their boss coming inside here looking furious and well, to say the least, they were all curious and silently prayed for her in their heart. What could she have done to rile him up like that?

"Tell me" Gianna moved closer to her and asked "Is it a crime to be married in this company?"

"Of course not" Stephanie replied "I'm married and I even have kids. Was that what the problem was? Are you married?"

Gianna didn't reply that. She just sighed and went back to her seat while Stephanie placed a file on her desk before leaving too.

Gianna went back to her work but still... She couldn't get his words out of her mind 'I guess I'll have to take care of the bastard'

What was he planning to do to Henry?

Before it was almost time to get off work, Gianna wanted to go to Eric's office but found he already left. She went back home too and collapsed on the bed feeling exhausted. She was glad that Henry was still at work at least that was what she thought. She didn't have the energy to deal with him too.

Working was much more draining than she thought.

Her phone rang and she picked it up to see it was her dad calling.

"Gianna" Mr Walker called and Gianna quickly sat up wondering why his voice sounded so serious.

"Is there a problem dad?"

There was silence for a while before her dad spoke again "Did you... Offend your boss in any way?"

Hearing this, Gianna's eyes widened a bit "I-i don't think I did. Did he say something to you?"

"He'd say something and it's been bothering me. You do know who he is apart from being the owner of Bluedorm corps right?"

Gianna frowned "Does he have some other identity?"

"It means you don't know. Be careful when dealing with him, he's dangerous also try not to get entangled with him in any way"

'I already did' She said internally and sighed before answering "I understand Dad. Aren't you going to tell me what he said-"

She was going to ask this but the phone got disconnected before she could say more.

...

Inside a huge manor that was painted all in white, Mr. Walker swirled the drink in his hands as he looked out the window. In his hands were pictures of someone that was recently sent to him.

His assistant came to get the phone from him after he finished speaking.

"What did she say?" The assistant asked carefully.

"I think they already got entangled, Martins"

"Isn't that great? Why do you look so down?"

Mr. Walker sighed "It's great for me but it's bad for her. Getting entangled with Eric Flores, she will be dragged into his world. A world she knows nothing about then she will be eaten quickly" He narrowed his eyes "Though, I don't know when this all started. Last I checked, she had been in love with Henry. I can't help but think that something happened to her, to make her change this much in a day. What did she find out?"

"Then... We should send a message to him"

"I guess we should" Mr. Walker gulped down the remining of his drink before dropping the glassas he continued to stare out, lost in his thoughts.

...

Inside a place where the music was booming loudly. Colorful lights surrounded the place and half naked women could be seen dancing around.

Sitting at a corner, Eric slowly brought the already burning cigarette to his lips and soon, smoke puffed out from his mouth and nostrils.

"You're smoking too much today. What's wrong?" Asked a blonde haired man sitting opposite to Eric. He had two girls on either side of him as he drank.

"None of your business" Eric told him coldly as he took a glass filled with red liquid and brought it to his mouth.

"Why did I even ask when I knew the answer?" The blondie shook his bead but his eyes didn't stop watching Eric "Is it about Angelo?"

Eric scoffed when he heard this but he didn't say anything as the images that was playing in his head right now was that of a girl. Long brown hair that matches the colours of her eyes. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't get her out and it irked him so much.

"It's not him then. I wonder who is able to worry you this much. Is it a woman? Of course it's not why did I even ask such an obvious question? There's no woman who you will ever worry about apart from your mama I know but I'm curious..."

"Shut up Rico" Eric snapped "I'm sure you don't want one of your girls hanging on a rope tonight"

Rico swallowed but he laughed again when he saw Eric's expression "I know that look. You want to kill someone right now"

"Don't you think that someone is you?" Said Eric. Finishing his cigarette and taking another one.

"I don't think so" Rico disagreed "I mean, who will want to kill a beauty like me? Instead, I'm thinking you will want to take me to your bed-"

Before Rico could finish speaking, he saw a knife flying in his direction and he quickly lowered his head only to see the knife lodge itself inside the sofa he was sitting on, where his head had just been. He exhaled and glared at Eric only to receive a smile from the man.

"I told you to shut up" Eric said and Rico didn't know if he should be angry or not.

He sighed "Fine, I belong to you anyway. You can kill me, do what you want but I will never stop talking. Do you want me to turn mute?"

"Do you not know how to? I can help you do so"

Rico shook his head and ordered the girls to leave. Once they left he got closer to Eric who had smoked over ten cigarettes that now laid on the tray.

"Something is wrong right? What is it? I might be able to help you. You know that I have experience in most thing--"

"So what if you cannot help me? What do I do with you then?" As Eric said this, he had a smile that looked evil on his face and his eyes that were dark narrowed.

Rico couldn't help but feel like he just dug a hole for himself. Why should he ask that? Was he going to punish him if he was not able to come up with a solution to his problem. He doubted he had a solution to a problem even Eric couldn't fix.

"I'll definitely help you out" Rico smiled.

"There's a woman I want" Said Eric and Rico felt like he was dreaming.

A woman? Like a real woman? A woman that he wants? Was that what this was all about? If he wants her then he should have her, was he hesitating? He doubted that because Eric always gets whatever he wanted. The opposite party will either be willing or be forced but he doubted most of them were forced. They all willingly jumps into his bed so how different was this one?

"So what's the problem? He asked, bringing a glass to his mouth "Is she unwilling? There's a solution for that-"

"She's married" Eric announced and the liquid Rico had just drank splurted out of his mouth in shock. Never in his life did he think Eric will like that type.

"A married woman?" He asked again as if his ears deceived him the first time but when he saw the look in Eric's eyes, he knew this was real "Well..." He had no idea what to say.

"What do I do to seperate them and have her to myself?"

"Did you try to seduce her?" Rico asked but Eric just gave him a look which he wondered what it meant. Does it mean he tried to seduce her and it didn't work? Well, that was a first. He suddenly got curious about this woman. Who exactly was she?

"So... Do you have any idea?" The look Eric gave him made Rico swallow a mouthful of his saliva. Okay this was when it will be decided. Whether to jump into the hole he had dug for himself or cover it up.

Smiling, he leaned towards Eric and whispered something in his ears. Eric threw him a glare when he heard the words he said but he also looked like he was considering it and this made Rico take a sigh of relief. He didn't have to jump in to the hole. He was safe, at least for now until the plan wouldn't work and Eric would come back for him.
