Collins Crest Hotel

A man sat on a chair, his eyes was fixed on his phone,

 "Dad how is the company holding up"

You don't have to worry when Ryan is there.

Jason frowned immediately at the mention of Ryan words.

Dad you've excluded me from the company share's, this was not what you planned for us,I want to work in the company.

Jason why should I trust you,all your mom did was pampering you so much that you became spoilt,

And was that the reason you loved Ryan more than me,I am the older one and yet Ryan shares are larger than mine.

You know mom would never agree to this if she was still alive,I am the rightful heir, it's high time you give me my rightful position.

Jason I would rather give my shares to a dog than give them to you.

Collins Larry gazed away as he stood up from his chair.

This conversation ends here,I forbid you from saying anything relating to the company, keep your eyes off it.

It's only for smart, tactful and minded people like my son Ryan.

Just to let you know,I will stop at nothing to get Ryan at my way.

"You won't dare do such a thing Jason" Collins warned 

Then watch me dad,if not me,I won't let Ryan take away what rightfully belongs to me.

Jason scoffed walking out leaving Collins sanding.

Sir young master called to inform he won't be coming home,a woman announced.

Ryan is at it again, always skipping dinners , Collins thought .

Geez today has been a hectic day Ryan though collapsing on the bed.

The hotel is the best place to relax,I feel so burdened with dad nagging on finding a woman who will bear his Grand kids.

A knock sounded on the door,"Come in"

Ryan dark voice ordered as he gazed at the door.

The opened wide and a woman walked in, wearing a pair red hills and a short black skirt as she waved her hips.

What would you like for dinner Sir,

Ryan could tell that the woman was up to no good,he had encountered with numerous woman who ends up throwing themselves at him.

Staring at the woman outfits,he knew she was here to flirt.

Serve me whatever you have, eating was not his hubby, Ryan always find it as a challenge to eat.

Staring at the woman still standing with her sparkling eyes.

She walked closer ,wearing a strong cologne as it escaped into Ryan nostril.

If that's all please get out Ryan said looking away.

He's so rude,the rumors about him was true, maybe he's really a gay.

No one has ever seen him with a woman not to talk of talking to one.

Feeling angry at being rejected,she walked out closing the door behind.

Ryan laid on the bed, his handsome features radiated as he closed his eyes sighing deeply .
