No, I won't marry her (2)

Chapter three.

His handsome face bloomed with anger, evident on his face. His once expressionless face held a great hint of anger on it.

He tapped his slender finger on the black leather desk " tap tap tap." as he stared at the man sitting across him with his leg crossed over another.

He wore a brown tailored custom-made suit. His brown hair was combed one-sided. Even at his age of middle fifties, yet his beauty could not be missed. His right leg was crossed over another as he lazily kept his left elbow on the handle of the swirl chair while his right hand was on his jaw. He stared at the man across him without blinking as if saying" When you are done, you let me know."

They stared at themselves for a moment, before Alex finally broke the silence " Father, I can't. You and I know that I'm not ready for marriage and I have already had...."

" A woman in your life." Brian Williams interrupted his son and completed the statement for him with a slight smile on his face. He looked at his father with anger. If it wasn't his father, he wouldn't dare interrupt him.

" Yes, I have a woman in my life." he huffed in annoyance.

" Why not call her your standby sex partner than calling her your woman"

Brian William said with a smile on his face.

" Father!" he roared.

" Hi, boy better keep your voice low. I don't appreciate the tone of your voice or I won't tell you what will happen to you in the next second." He commented with a smug written all over his face. Only people close to him knew when he was serious. His looks can probably deceive people.

Alex kept quiet and looked at his father with displeasure all over his face. He is the only one that, he reveals his true emotions in front of.

" You are going to marry her whether you like it or not."

" No, I won't marry her. I won't marry a stranger. I won't be forced into an unknown useless arranged marriage. You got married because of love and I'm going to do the same father!" he roared, hit his hands on the desk, and stood up. He runs his hands across his short brown hair messing it up.

....

Outside the office.

" Did you know what is wrong with our boss today? He seems agitated. For the first time, I have had his voice from his office." One of his secretaries asked as they shivered at hearing his roar.

" Are my, the one to answer that question. we all have been sitting here, so how I am supposed to know. I just pray our jobs are saved." the second commented with her both hands on her jaw.

" We pray so!" the three secretaries said in unison

....

Back inside the office.

" Try to disobey me boy and watch. You can destroy anyone but have you forgotten what I can do. Your businesses will be in shambles if you test me. Try and see ." he said with indifference. After that, he stood up and left the office elegantly.

" When will this man stop being so authoritative and dictating," he said agitated after the door was closed.

He sat down and leaned back on the leather chair and closed his eyes to control his emotions.

The door opened some minutes later and a young man wearing a red tailored suit with the first two buttons of the white British custom-made shirt unbuttoned entered into the office without knocking. His hair was combed all back. " Hi Alex, I saw your old man. Did he come here to lecture you?" he sat down on the chair opposite Alex lazily as he stared at Alex with amusement.

" What are you doing here Simon?" he asked with his eyes still closed.

" Hmm, it now I realize you were meditating. " He looked at his friend and let out a chuckle.

"Answer me first what was your old man doing in your office that he cannot wait."

" When a person refuses to meet the mountain, the mountain will come down and meet the person," he said and open his mesmerizing orb brown eyes.

" You know, you are the only one that dares to call him Old man. If he hears you...." Alex said with a smirk while sitting up.

" Alex how can you say that. I am most afraid of that your old man. If a whole Alex could be smashed by him easily. How can a small fry like me Simon escape." he said with his hand on his chest dramatical.

Alex chuckled looking at his best friend's behavior" You talk as if, you are small fry."

" I am when compare to you." he said with a cocked smile "So tell me what was your old man doing here. The whole office seems to be in unrest at his presence." he leaned back on the chair.

Alex let out a long sigh " He came this time around to cause trouble and dictate as he loves doing." he said while taking out a pen from the fountain clips of pens on right side of his desk.

" With the look on your face, it seems that this time around. It is a big problem." Simon sat up and put his hands on the table.

" Yeah, he wants me to get married to an unknown stranger."

Simon chuckled " Every father will want his son to get married at least seeing her rich and successful you are." he said and relaxed back on the swivel chair and touched the chain around his neck, he stopped suddenly as a sentence struck him.

" Wait! marry a stranger?" he looked at his best friend's expressionless face and broke out in laughter.

Alex looked cock his brows and huffed " A whole Alex being forced to into an arranged marriage. Abey Alex stop looking at me that way, allow me to laugh. It hard to see this kind of thing happen. Your old man is the bravest." he said amidst his laughter. After laughing for a while he looked at his friend and asked.

" So what is the next thing, I mean does it mean. He did not give you any information about her."

Alex said without looking at his friend as he picked up a document and signed his signature elegantly in strokes on the paper " He did, she is the rebellious daughter of a senator but I can't marry anyone now."

" The one that loves fighting, the daughter of Senator Fredrick. " moreover, she is popular. Her name always appears in magazines and newspapers but hardly has anyone seen her face. The pictures of her are always blurred.

He signed his name on the last document and kept it away before raising his face and playing with the pen in his hands and said indifferent " Yeah, I don't know what he is after but why include me in his game."

" You know that you can't disobey your dad. He knows all your secrets and can easily destroy you. He is way stronger and cunning than anything. He might start in your bomb production in the country, so why not marry her. I mean you can do a contract marriage for a specific year and dissolve it afterward." He suggested

Alex raised his brows and replied with a firm but dismissive tone " No! I won't marry her. Never!"
