Chapter 5: CHAPTER 5
Stacy and Jace walks to the boardroom with her trailing behind him with all papers he will be using
DANIEL
All is on sit waiting for the boss with others talking about Kim and how no body knows how she looks like
Speaking of the devil!
A gorgeous looking Kim walks in saying hi before taking her seat opposite mine as hers is on the right hand side of Jace while mine is his left
She smiles at me in acknowledgement ignoring all the looks she attracted
Ready for the presentation I suppose? I start a conversation tired of waiting for annoying Jace
Very well! She smiles not giving an ounce of being nervous if she is
I smile deciding to focus on work so I can see her sooner******
Stacy and Jace walks to the boardroom with her trailing behind him with all papers he will be using
She smiles at me in acknowledgement ignoring all the looks she attracted
Ready for the presentation I suppose? I start a conversation tired of waiting for annoying Jace
Very well! She smiles not giving an ounce of being nervous if she is.
To think the Italian investors only start to smile when you walk in; I whisper while she curtly look at them before smiling
More like they see a deer for hunt kind of smile; she whispers, earning a small laughter from me which died on Jace walking in while all stand to acknowledge his presence
The scenery brings back one of the memories of us growing up
13 YEARS AGO
Dad decided we go with him and mum to the board meeting
Jace quickly freshened up wearing one of his formal wears not bothering waiting for Daniel who wasn't so thrilled
preferring to play video games all day
Walking into the boardroom with their parents for the first time makes them realize how much respect is given to their dad as all stands to grace his presence
Oh my! Daniel open his mouth in awe
One day! I will be like dad! everyone will stand to acknowledge my presence Danny; Jace speaks with determination
Promise you won't force me to stand, Jace! Daniel whispers to only their hearing
Fine! Only you shall be exempted Danny; Jace pulls him to seat while others kept standing making their Father smile
Kim immediately stands up but I don't smirking at Jace. The look he gave me says I never forgot.....
JACE
I want to tell my angel that she do not need to stand to acknowledge my presence but work first I suppose
To avoid keeping her standing any longer I waste no time in pleasantries swiftly sitting down by deciding it can be done seated
Nice finally gracing your presence, Mr. Ferrati! Mr King speaks up in that Italian accent of his
It been years since college Mr Ferrati! Hope friendship still lies aside business? He raises a brow like he used to
Of course Mr King! I simply put not interested in long conversations
Are you going to grace my business partners with your amazing talent in presenting? Mr King kicks in to the subject of discussion
That won't be needed as my managing director is up for the challenge; I direct my glance to her before gently nodding a silent go on
She stands up walking over to make connections with her iPad. I notice how all the men in the room apart from Daniel stare at her like an animal for hunt. I couldn't help but quietly cuss "fuck" noticing Daniel smile saying he heard me as he sits the closest
Kimberly Steve Woodswork,Managing director of JADS and your presenter! she speaks in the most confident voice I have every heard apart from mine
I mean mine is a badass
She manages her surroundings like her second self going with the flow of the slide; Scanning the people in the room I notice all gaze on her with admiration
Isn't she just perfect,huh?
In 30 mins, she rounds her presentation with a mind blowing conclusion: we will return your demand for a gold standard investing opportunity with a diamond base bounty of reward; thank you.
The boardroom erupts with a round of applause making me realize she is mine and will not lose her for the world
Fuck the rules
Danny whispers to my hearing "don't lose her bro"
The Italians all look intrigued and speechless on how a gorgeous lady could present such a master piece
I think you have a competition in talent with your beautiful MD as I am finding it hard to know who is better; Mr King comments while placing his signatures on the contract and passing it to his colleagues who did same
With all paper formalities done, the meeting is over as the boards says their congratulations to her before walking out;
I already sent Stacy with my stuff for I notice Kim still packing her stuff not wanting to leave her alone with Mr King who keeps following her with his eyes even if all his colleagues left already
Danny seem to agree with me for he did not bother standing up
That was a nice presentation Miss.... Mr King starts a conversation walking over to her
Woodswork! Miss Woodswork! I cut in while Danny tries to control his laughter
Well I am Alexander king, one of the heirs to King group of companies in Italy; he introduces totally ignoring me
Heir! I smirk well I am boss
It is nice meeting you Mr King; she answers professionally disconnecting the connections she made during the presentation
A look at Danny sent him going to help her out making her turn to Mr King with a raised eye brow
The fuck is she doing to me? Seductress...
Well I am hoping to know you personally; Mr King grins revealing his annoying teeth'
Alex you will have no personal affair with my MD as she is taken and happy; I cut in unable to contain my anger
She gives me a confusing look but decides to say nothing for reasons best known to her
Gosh I hope I'm wrong though because she should only be taken by me
Allow the lady speak for herself, Jace! I mean she is your MD and not your daughter; he speaks trying so hard not to get on my bad side unknown to him that I am hardly containing him
Mr King! My boss is only being straight forward and simple as he knows my person and I certainly do not object to his reply to you
I am sorry! She takes her things and head for the door not before giving me a look
I think it is either now or never...
