Sounds of Temptation Series - Book 1: Timothy Aillspawn

The whole building was exhaustingly busy, especially in the board meeting to where the very famous, the youngest entrepreneur slash bachelor in the whole Western country namely Timothy Aillspawn. He was already bored in listening to the one speaking in front. Fucking boring!

"Mr. Aillspawn, are you listening?" like I would!

"Sorry, I'm not interested in your proposal. You may now leave." He coldly uttered and stood up which made everyone shifted their gaze on him. "All of you, please leave!" In instant, everyone left in horrified while he heaves out a loud and frustrating sigh before exiting the conference room. With his tall height, broad shoulders, pointed nose, sexy thin lips, pitch-black eyes, and brown hair; women would just die if they encounter a man like him. But he doesn't give a fuck for entertaining women whose only after him for his money and fame. He'd rather die single than letting a woman enter his goddamn life!

"Sir, you have another appointment at 3:00 pm at Fordham University." His male secretary exclaimed while following him to his office.

"Fordham? What for?" He tilted his head and eventually remembers. Why would I forget?

"Can we reschedule it? I'm tired, John." He slumped himself to his swivel chair and closed his eyes.

"Sir, this is the only day that you can give your inspirational speech to the students. And if you won't be there as the guest speaker, then your friend would nag at me until you agree." He looked at his secretary, and he knows what does this guy meant to say. "Fine, give him a call. I'll be there." This is better be good!

Timothy's friend, Luke Montgomery. The son of the famous Beauty Queen since the year 1986's and the famous Producer of all time has come to see him right here in his office. And so he knocked more than 3 times and without his permission, he barged in.

"Hey man, I thought your secretary won't let me in." Luke flashed a smile but he only rolled his eyes out of annoyance. "Just because I told him not to, and what the hell are you doing here? I was about to check out my lunch when you barged in." Timothy hissed and Luke being Luke only snorted in return. "Well, I came here to invite you for lunch at the university. Our other friends will be there later, you know how they love it when somebody treats them for lunch. What do you say?"

As if I have a choice? Argh! "Fine, just tell those guys to never mock me while I'm giving a speech. Or even better, you will just stay in backstage." He rolled his eyes and canceled his order.

Like a little kid, Luke punched his fists into the air as if he won a lottery. "Finally, come on! They might be there waiting for us in the cafeteria!" And then Luke hurriedly exited his office, meanwhile, Timothy scoffed and grabs his phone on the table.

At the cafeteria of Fordham University, they are sitting near the giant windows and no one at their table denies that many students were kept on passing through these handsome men.

"I remember those days way back at Oxford University." Luke suddenly uttered along with his devilish smirk while eyeing some beautiful college students.

"Don't eye those girls Luke, their boyfriends might kill you."- Blake chuckled as well as looking at those pretty girls that Luke has been eyeing.

"Oh you two, those girls might still be young."- Denver exclaimed as he was munching his tuna sandwich.

"You guys never changed, even for a little bit."- Chandler shook his head afterward.

"Don't talk like you guys never fucked women before."- Blake hissed. "Oh by the way, good luck for your speech later buddy."- Denver spoke to Timothy who is silently reading his piece on his phone. "Thanks"- he shortly smiled before finishing his orange juice.

A few seconds when Timothy breaks from reading, he looked around the whole cafeteria and he felt quite annoyed due to many squealing girls from the tables behind and in front of them.

"At last! Lunch is here!" He shifted his gaze to those 6 girls who just came in wearing formal dresses. Maybe they're one of the speakers for this afternoon? He sees those girls are carrying lots of papers. "I'll look for our table." The girl who speaks caught his attention that is now walking towards the empty table just 2 tables away from what they are using.

One word defines in his mind to this girl: Gorgeous. Her skin is as white as a snow, her hair was just on the chest line, naturally pinkish lips, and round eyes. In an instant, a smile quirked up at the corner of his lips. Hence, Timothy doesn't know how long he was staring at her, and that moment was ruined when Luke spokes. "Hey, Tim! Earth to Timothy! What are you looking at?"

"Geez, shut up!" And now he's annoyed. Fucking annoyed! Fuck this bastard!

"Oh, are you looking at the pretty lady with a black dress?" Now his friend was teasing him. "Fuck off!" But his eyes were still looking at the gorgeous lady.

"Hey girl, here's our lunch!" Now her friends are there and started to dig in. Timothy doesn't care if his friends were teasing him and his eyes only focused on that lady in a black dress who is now smiling while talking to her friends. He doesn't know if the time flew so fast or too slow that those girls are now done eating and preparing to leave the cafeteria until he stands up to follow her but the bell rings and so, all the students are starting to leave the place. Timothy on the other hand felt extremely annoyed since he lost sight of the lady in a black dress.

Damn it! He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs due to frustration and annoyance but he only let out a loud scoff and returns to his old bored look. "Hhmm, she seems like someone who's professional. Do you guys perhaps know her?" Denver asked the rest of their friends and they only shrugged. "Well what do you know; I thought you were a bitter gourd." Luke couldn't help but laugh at their friend who's been a bitter gourd for 8 long-years.

"Oh shut up, and don't make me remind you why." He rolled his eyes and started to walk ahead leaving his friends who just followed him from behind. I thought I can catch her up, damn it!

And Timothy was wondering why he felt a sudden interest in that lady. The lady in the black dress, hhmm. Interesting.
