RED HEAD

FOUR YEARS EARLIER.

As Dylan made his way out of his father's office he was pissed. He did not understand why the old man just kept insisting that things be done the way he wanted.

He had done everything right, studied what he had wanted but somehow couldn't escape his grasp.

He had never wanted the life that he had but it was not as if anyone had asked him.

Sometimes he wished there was someone else who would take his position instead.

He saw Vincenzo the moment he walked and a little bit of anger left his body as he walked over to where he was to talk to his friends.

It was shocking that they were friends given the fact that their companies were both rivals.

"Why do you look you just left a heated conversation with your father ?", Vincenzo asked Dylan as he looked at his watch.

He had been dragged by his father to come and strike a deal with Mr. Harrington.

"It's the same talk again that I am old enough to take the company, he just doesn't understand that I want a different life for myself ", Dylan said as his anger rose again.

His friend Vincenzo Morello couldn't understand him though. He was being given power and he didn't want it?

He had never seen anyone so ungrateful. If it was him he would have taken the company and tried as much as possible to make it the best.

He sometimes wished that Dylan's father had been his father instead. He had begged to work in the company but nothing seemed to be working.

Sometimes he wondered why they had chosen him if they were not willing to give him the family company.

Vincenzo could remember having one of those conversations with his old man and it had g been pretty.

"I never wanted to adopt you, I just wanted a son with my name I had thought maybe with the years your mother would have had a child but that didn't turn out right ", he had said.

Vincenzo had swallowed the pill and went in with his day. There was nothing he would have done. He was nobody before they adopted him.

"I wish I could stand here and tell you to let it go but I have thing stop do. I have to meet with your father I have a meeting right now ", Vincenzo said walking away before Dylan could say anything back.

All eyes were on him as he walked around the company. They all knew who he was. The men wanted to be him and the ladies wanted to be with him.

He had given used to the attention until he saw her.

He didn't know what had caught his attention first. Her red hair or her bright smile as she walked past him talking to someone on the phone.

He had been at the company many times and never had once seen her and he wondered if she was a new employee.

He tailed behind her completely forgetting where he was going. He watched as her body swayed from side to side with big strides.

Who was she?

She stopped abruptly at an office and as he looked up he figured she had been going to the finance office.

She was a new client.

He metered the office and there she was in her full glory, the smile had still not left her lips.

She carried herself with grace and the more she talked the more he realized that she was a chirpy person .

After she was done talking to the guy in finance she took a sit and her attention was directed to her phone .

The smile that he had now grown accustomed to the last few minutes was wiped from her face as she agreed at her phone hard .

He wondered what it was she had seen that had made her so upset .

She locked her phone and sat up straight and attempted to smile when their eyes locked . Dylan smiled at her and she smiled back but this time it wasn't the smile that he had loved .

She looked like she had forced it and all she wanted was to either scream or cry .

He debated in what he should do . Should he go talk to her ?

The possibility of her thinking that he was a creep were a little bit high. Maybe he would just like that he was the owner of the company and he ahd come to check out some documents that he had wanted prepared for him.

His train of thought wasn't really helping him and as he debated in what to do she was already done and walked out .

He stood up frantically trying to figure out which way she had gone so he took the only way he could think she had gone,the exit .

No one had ever piqued his interest that much like she had . He could not even believe that he was going after her .

The anger he had been feeling earlier had already subsided turning into excitement .

He reached outside the company and as he looked around he couldn't spot her anywhere until he saw her but she wasn't alone this time round .

There was a man by her side who she seemed to be quarrelling with . He could see her getting agitated by the way her ha d moved to her forehead to stroke it .

Was he her man ?

His question was answered soon enough as the man pulled her closer to him and engulfed her in his arms .

He stood there watching them and almost retched when the man kissed her. He was saved from his misery when a car pulled up near them and they left .

His red head drove away from his grasp but the smile didn't leave his face .

If he worked at the company then maybe he would get to see her again. Her presence alone was enough to make his day .

She was just like a flower , the more it bloomed the more it brought smiles to the people around it .
