8 Aviana Cole

G&K company

The Urkel family, known for their massive wealth had very many high end dynamic businesses established in different parts of the city. Apart from the very many businesses they had in the city, there were other businesses in other countries.

There stood, in the middle of the city, a tall building, 80 storeys tall with G&K embedded on top. The area in which the building was situated was large and spacious. And, from the top floor, high density of businesses and busy traffic could be seen from above. The area was so expensive such that only the Urkel could afford, given the weight of their pocket. This large building was one of the many businesses they owned, the biggest and the headquarters to be precise. Ethan, as the ceo, was in charge of the company.

A high end, dynamic, expensive navy-blue Sedan screeched to a halt in front of the building. It was a classy four door car. Jayden exited the car and walked into the building. While inside, he walked to the woman his eyes came across first. It seemed she were the receptionist as she sat on the side and welcomed the guest that walked into the building. She wore a satin top and a pencil skirt with a matched pair of white high-heels. Immediately she saw him, she welcomed him with respect.

"Welcome sir, how may I help you?" she asked with a hint of respect in her voice.

"I'm here to see Ethan Urkel, where is his office?" Jayden said quickly.

"This way please, I'll take you to him," said the woman as she led him down the corridor to the Ceo's office. She went in first, and when she had enquired from their boss, she let him in.

"You can go in sir," she told him as she held the door open for him to enter. Once in, she shut the door and went back to her position. This man seemed familiar to her. Until now, she hadn't realized he was Chloe's brother, their boss' fiancee.

Ethan sat on the desk chair, piles of documents and files on top of the table. Without giving a glance to the man, he asked coldly, "Are you here on behalf of your sister? If so, don't bother, because I won't change my mind."

"Won't you atleast ask me to sit down, first?" Jayden sighed.

"You have a mind of your own, do as you dim fit," he responded in his usual cold voice, his face expressionless.

"Well..." he drew the chair next to him before he took his sit. "You're right, I'm here to talk about Chloe. Yesternight, Chloe came home late at night and drunk. What do you have to say about that?"

"I have nothing to say! I didnt ask her to go to a bar, did I? I didn't ask her to get drunk, did I?" The man didn't care to raise his head and look at Jayden as he uttered this words.

"Really Ethan! Why are you playing dumb, here? We both know Chloe's change of behavior has more to do with you! Chloe has changed, she has turned into someone I can't even recognize and it's all because of you! And, here you're saying you've nothing to say!" he uttered, his tone obviously indicated he was annoyed with Ethan's 'I don't care' altitude he was displaying right now.

"Ethan, we practically grew up together, in the same neighborhood! You and I are like brothers! Chloe loves you, why do you hurt her? Are you this Heartless?" he continued when the man didn't say a word. At this point, Ethan finally raised his head and gave a glance to the man. His cold eyes stared deep into his and for a while. He gave a chuckle. It was as if what Jayden said was funny in his eyes.

Jayden was irritated. He could no longer hold his anger. "You really think it's funny? Chloe returning home drunk, is funny to you? Chloe's change of behavior is funny to you?"

"It's funny how you say I'm heartless. If I were heartless, I wouldn't have let you in my office, in the first place. If I were heartless, I wouldn't have told your sister the hard truth, that I don't love her. I would keep on lying to her, do you really want that for your sister? Do you really want to watch her live a life filled with lies? Do you really want to watch her live with a man who doesn't love her?" he cold voice sounded in the room.

When he saw that Jayden suddenly had no words to say, he continued, "I bet you don't want that for your sister. I'm only doing this for her own good and, I advice you do the same. Talk to her, make her understand that we were never meant to be. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work on my desk. Shut the door behind you," he dismissed him off, before he began to indulge himself in the pile of files on his desk, completely ignoring Jayden.

Jayden had no words to say to counter what Ethan had said. Ethan was right after all, there wasn't any need of him living with his sister when he didn't love her at all. And he wouldn't tolerate anyone lying to his sister and breaking her heart someday. Before that could happen, he would have to compel Chloe to let him go and move on with someone else. Someone who would love and cherish her. But, knowing his sister pretty well, would she listen to him? Would she be willing to let him go? Jayden sighed. He stood up and walked to the door and left.

As soon as he walked out, Devin walked in. Handing over a piece of document to his boss, he explained, "These are the details you asked for. The woman's name is Aviana Cole, Twenty-three-years old, daughter of Joana Cole and Stanley Cole. The father is deceased. And the boy who had an accident is her little brother, Hayden Cole. They relocated to this city three days ago from country B. That day of the accident, they were coming from the airport. That's all I could get, sir," he concluded.

"Okay, that's enough information for now. You can go back to your duties," Ethan simply said dismissing him off before he kept his eyes on the document in his hands, going through the details. Devin was about to leave when he suddenly halted and turned around.

"Sir, the little boy, brother to the woman. He's awake," he revealed.

"When did he wake up?"

"He woke up this morning sir,"

"Okay, make sure they are well taken care of. And before I forget, look for a good apartment. Make arrangements as soon as possible so they can move into the apartment as soon as possible. If she asks, tell her it's compensation from the company for the damage caused,"

"Okay, sir," Devin respectfully responded before he walked out of the office.
