Making Quinn jealous
Making Quinn jealous
Being the Oriole.
CALIFORNIA
Henry was unsettled all through the morning. Kathleen had been giving him the cold shoulders for
weeks now. She had been acting indifferent.
However...
He knew it was his fault. But did he care?
It wasn't as if he was in love with her after all.
Since Quinn was claiming she was married, he had to pay her back.
The best way to do that?
Get married to Kathleen.
Yes, that was what he was going to do...
But if he did, wasn't he subjecting himself to a lifetime of unhappiness.
Well, it doesn't matter, he was going to go ahead with his plans first...
"Raven, what time is the meeting?" He asked his assistant.
He had a conference meeting with the shareholders of the company.In fact, the recent happenings was
what was going to fuel his decision to get married to Kathleen.
Getting married to her would make the Corporation stronger...
"In ten, President..." Raven stood respectfully beside him.
He had been standing beside Henry for ten minutes now but he seemed to be deep in thoughts...
He would furrow his brow for some minutes,and then loosen it again...
What was bothering the President?
The Corporation was facing some problems. The price of stocks were dropping lately.
Henry suspected it was an attack from the rival company...
The attack was too obvious...
"Let's head to the conference room." Henry stood up and headed in the direction of the conference
room.
Lately, the shareholders were having one complain after the other.
Were they questioning his authority as the CEO?
"Funny." He scoffed.
==================
The conference room was brightly lit. The shareholders were all seated comfortably on their respective
seats.
Henry walked into the room,and headed straight to the CEO's chair.
"Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. Let's start." He sat on the chair with the air and imposing presence
of a CEO.
"We would like an explanation for the current situation." A shareholder said.
"What situation?" Henry smirked.
The shareholder that just spoke wasn't so happy when he became the CEO.
He had been opposing him on grounds that he was young and inexperienced.
However...
He had proven him wrong, stunning him and other shareholders as well,with his capability.
This time wasn't any different...
The shareholder glared at him,
"We would like an explanation... Don't play with us, Mr Henry."
The meeting dragged on for hours...
But...
As usual, the shareholders were stumped by him.
*****************
Kathleen lay on her back, sunbathing. She had decided to take the day off.
She was in a very different mood.
"Let's see how he deals with it when his Corporation is faced with multiple problems."
Kathleen had decided to teach Henry a couple of lessons.
When he is left with no other option, he will have to turn to her for help.
"Just a little more time Henry, you will be mine soon. Soon enough..."
Just as she was basking in the tranquility of the moment, her phone rang.
'Ring...ringggg' She groaned a little.
Who was disturbing her.
She picked up and placed it close to her ears,
"Speak," It was her assistant.
"What!!! What do you mean he resolved the issue" Kathleen sat up straight.
Was Henry so capable? If he was, then....
"Go ahead with plan B... Start buying shares, anonymously of course.." She hung up.
She was going to buy shares from other shareholders...
"You wouldn't even know what hit you,my handsome and capable fiance." She smirked as she lay
back.
Since he so badly wanted to play games with her, she would entertain and accompany him.
He just needed a little more push and he would come running to her.
Just then she received another call...
'What again?'
She glanced at the caller ID and smirked.
Henry...
But wasn't it so soon?
'Hah... Capable indeed...'
"Kathleen speaking..." She placed the call on loud speaker.
"Would you like to meet up? For a dinner date, perhaps?" Henry husky tone sounded from the other
end.
"Is it a request or an order?" Kathleen's mind was actually racing even as she tried to remain calm.
Dinner date!!!
Wow...
When was the last time they had one?
But she didn't want to sound eager. She tried to make her voice remain as calm as possible.
"I'm in Los Angeles, I hope you know that?" Kathleen questioned lazily.
"You can fly down here. Think about it and give me your response." He hung up the call without waiting
for her response.
She didn't mind; this was a good start.
Should she go ahead with the plan B or cancel it?
On second thoughts, she decided to go ahead with the plan..
She wasn't going to lay her eggs in one basket.
Henry could be unpredictable at times... What if this was just a farce?
She called her assistant to book a flight for her to California, immediately.
Though her assistant was surprised,'he' didn't ask any questions.
....
Henry clasped his hands over each other. Immediately he hung up the call with Kathleen, he smirked.
Though she tried hard to hide it, he could sense excitement in her voice.
Who was she trying to fool?
Indifferent indeed...
He was going to marry her and make Quinn jealous.
Yeah, his intention after all was to make Quinn his again...
He was sure Quinn wasn't married. But how could he find out?
Whatever...
He was going to deal with Kathleen's matter first, then Quinn...
Tonight, he was going to apologize to Kathleen.
He was going to be the Oriole... He would reap all benefits...
On one hand, he was going to get married to Kathleen. On the other, he was going to get Quinn back.
As for his marriage with Kathleen?
He was going to divorce her when the time was right.
The time?
Soon after marriage...
He was sure his parents were going to be super excited when he breaks the news to them.
Wasn't that his father's prayers all along? NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
His father had been on his neck, giving him constant pressure...
The man would finally be satisfied by this news...
Unfortunately....
He was going to be disappointed later on...
So,...
Let the game begin...
