"Brother??" he called surprised
**
"Hi" Raven said lifting his hand up as a form of greeting as the smile which was always plastered on his face had disappeared
"It's really you!" Ryan exclaimed.
"When did you get here?" he asked staring at his face while Raven only sighed without giving a reply then handed the handkerchief in his hand to Sia who was staring at the two in awe
"Thanks" she said and slipped him a smile. "But brother??" she said repeating the word Ryan said earlier.
"You two are brothers?? she asked in disbelief and they both nodded at the same time
"Woah! Mr. Raven! i didn't know you are the son of Lawnson Group" Sia said with a cute smile while Ryan watched her in disgust
"What? how come she's speaking so informally" Ryan thought raising a suspicious look on the two.
"How did you know eacch other, you look a bit close" he said quirking his eyes
"Oh! we are friends, we met....." Sia didn't get to finish her sentence when Raven cut in
"I don't think he needs to know the details Miss Sia" Raven said and Sia nodded then they both smiled.
"You must have been busy, sorry to disturb you here" Raven said to Sia who nodded negatively indicating that she's not bothered
"It's okay, i enjoy chatting with you" Sia said and they both giggle and Ryan stared at the two with a clear look of disgust.
"Is she always this friendly to everyone" he asked nobody in particular in his mind.
"Miss Sia, guess you have nothing to do to be out here" Ryan said giving Sia an unfriendly look
"oh right!" She exclaimed and smiled awkwardly realizing that she came to work not to chitchat, not many CEO's can let that slide.
"Then bye Mr. Raven" she said and waved at Raven then walk back to the office and Ryan also walked to his office with Raven following behind
"I didn't hear about you coming back, bro!" Ryan said as Raven walked round the office admiring the paintings on the wall
"Do you need to?" Raven asked not facing him
"So how was your stay in France, was it fun?" Ryan asked eager to know
"I went there for business not for fun!" Raven snapped and Ryan sneered
"Although we are not too close, i missed you and i'm glad you came to visit me" Ryan said smiling at Raven who was not returning the smile
"I didn't come here to visit you, i had come to see Sia, if you hadn't saw us, i would have left without dropping by" Raven said to Ryan whose smile disappeared from his face, deep down Raven was lying he actually came to visit the both of them
"Do you know that hurts Raven? i wasn't even able to call you during your stay there because i know how cold you can be towards me and after years of not seeing you, this is the first thing you say to me? you are such a jerk!" Ryan yelled getting angry but Raven just ignored him and move to another topic
"I heard from Dad that you will be going on a blind date, guess you will get wedded soon" Raven said facing Ryan
"Stop playing, it's just a blind date for Mr. Karl to invest" Ryan said walking to his desk and Raven chuckled
"You better go now so you don't keep your date waiting"
"Oh right!" Ryan said checking his wristwatch and walked out of the office with Raven then saw Sia walking towards him
"Mr. C.E.O, i'm off to the meeting" Sia said stopping in front of him
"Okay good luck and make sure you get it sealed before you come back" Ryan said with a smile
"Okay sir! are you going somewhere?" Sia asked Ryan seeing he is heading for outside too"Oh! he's off to a blind date, didn't he tell you?" Raven said staring at the two.
"Guess you aren't close enough, i will be off first" he said with a smile patting Ryan's shoulder and then bow slightly to Sia who returned the bow then walk out of the department
"Really? why didn't you tell me" Sia asked and poked his stomach then smiled while Ryan cleared his throat which nothing was wrong with
"Let's go, i will drop you off" Ryan said walking out of the department.
"Yes Sir!" Sia replied with a smile plastered on her face and they both got into the car and after driving in silence for a while Sia broke the silence
"Here we are!" She said and he put the car to a stop and she alighted.
"Thanks for the ride" She said and bow "Are you having lunch at this hotel?" Ryan asked staring at the hotel in front of him
"Yes, go on and don't keep your date waiting" Sia said and giggle before heading into the hotel walking elegantly in her blue pencil dress which has a belt across her waist as Ryan couldn't resist the urge to stare at her @ss before driving out of the area
<
A gently knock came on the door of the hotel room No. 405 and the door gently opened from inside the room with a middle aged man appearing before Sia and he smiled widely seeing her and scanned her body from her b**bs to her thigh
"not bad" he thought and urged her to come inside and Sia entered staring at the room
"He's not even having lunch in at the hotel restaurant but in a hotel room?" Sia said in her head seeing the lunch table already set and then remembered that she's got to introduce herself
"Hello Sir! Annastasia from Lawnson Group Fashion House, i'm honoured to meet you" She said and bowed with a smile plastered on her lips
"Oh! you look more beautiful in person, nice meeting you" Chairman Drew said and stretched his hand for a handshake then she slide her hand into his and they both smiled with Chairman Drew caressing the back of her hands as she quickly withdraw her hand smiling awkwardly
"Let's take a seat Sir!" She said pointing to the chairs
<
Ryan entered and sighted the lady immediately cause she's the only one in the big hall except for the waiters, her dad reserved all the seats.
"I'm Ryan, nice meeting you" he said stretching his hands for a handshake as the lady took his hand with a smile and he took his seat opposite her
"Sophie, nice meeting you" Sophie said with a smile.
"You are just as handsome as my Dad had said" She said widening her smile and Ryan also smiled.
"He said we would make a match for the future and that i must meet you and here i can see you are worth meeting" She said and laughed and Ryan also had to laugh along her because he don't want her to be mistaken for a maniac for laughing alone when the other party does not find it funny.
"What would you like to eat?" Sophie asked grabbing the menu on the table.
"I will take steamed ribs or do i go for grilled steak or texas barbecue?" Sophie muttered deliberating on what to eat as Ryan stared at him and he remembered Sia who was also like that the last time they ate together and he smiled at the lady in front of her without realizing and then she finally concluded.
"I will take grilled Steak, what about you?"
"I will take the same" Ryan said slipping her a smile and then his mind drifted back to the old men's conversation the previous day, damn! Ryan what are you so worried about?!" his mind asked him
<
Sia sat down with the Chairman sitting opposite her as she explained the prospects of the product he would be investing in to him when he came to sit beside her bringing the chair so close to Sia as she stared at him puzzled.
"What is he doing right now, why is he acting like a pervert??" She said crazily in her head
"I can't quite hear you well from the other side but i think sitting closer like this will make me hear you more" Chairman Drew said and she forced a smile before proceeding to read the terms and conditions attached to the file but she could notice that the man's attention was focused not on what she was saying but her damn face
"This won't do, i was waiting for you to finish reading those, but i can't seem to wait anymore" Chairman Drew said getting Sia lost
"Huh? is he leaving already" Sia who couldn't fathom what he just said wondered when he started caressing her shoulder making Sia's eye widened as she sprang up from the chair.
"What are you doing Sir?!" she yelled moving backward but he keeps moving forward trying to get close to her and before she knew it, she fell on the bed and he climbed on the bed alongside her pinning her to the bed caressing her face and Sia who was struggling to free herself couldn't as he was holding on to her tightly with his strong arms
"Please Sir! don't do this!" Sia said with her weak voice as she couldn't scream because he was suffocating her as tears dropped from her eyes down to her ears. Her mind was blank and she couldn't think about anything except for the fact that she's about to get raped
Chairman Drew let out a grin as he pulled off his shirt and his belt pulling down his trouser and brought his face closer to Sia showering her neck with kisses ripping her dress off her shoulder slightly revealing her b**bs while Sia moved her face away disgusted as he moved his palms under her dress with his hands finding its way to her pants and she whimpered in fear
