He didn't say anything, he just stared at his documents like I wasn't even in his office, I just took the initiative and took a sit.
I have a business proposal.
Elaborate! was all he said still going through the documents on his table.
Well, Your cosmetics company has the most attractive models, so I was thinking...
About?? he sounds so impatient.
My company is launching a new skincare product so we'll be needing some of your models for it.
What's in it for me?? How do I profit from this arrangement?? He asked raising his head from his documents and staring at me with a raised brow. Those eyes..they are the type I'd want to stare at me alone.
Well..we'll give you a forty per cent interest.
I see..for how long will you be needing them??
One month
That's too long,
two weeks! He stated with finality.
But...
If you're not taking two weeks to use the door, I have important things to attend to.
Fine! Two weeks!!
Ok send the details to my secretary, she'll view the terms and get back to me.
speechless! That's how he left me, I can't believe he dismissed me this early I guess I'll see you around Mr Brooks.
He stared at me, smirked and said, We'll see.
I should be scared of him but...his cruelty turns me on like crazy, I had to flicker back for a few minutes to get myself back to sanity.
BACK IN TEXAS
Hi sister-in-law, greeted Leo who walked in with a parcel in his hands.
Hi Leo, how are you??
I'm good, he said flashing me his usual warm smile.
Are you alone? I asked curiously because he's mostly with Liam.
Oh no, I'm not, Liam is parking the car he'll soon be here.
Aah, that would have been a first. I said laughing.
What?
Seeing you alone, cause you guys are inseparable! She said laughing.
Ok, that's because we don't have a choice, we're used to it.
I see. So... who's that for? I asked curiously because he's been holding it since he got in.
Oh.! Sorry... My bad. This is for you, Logan asked me to bring it to you, it's already set for usage. He said an e-mail of a business proposal will be sent for you to review and get back to him.
Wow! Two good weeks of disappearing into thin air and this is the first message he's sending? How gullible of him, I thought.
Yep, we'll be leaving now we've got a meeting to catch. They said turning to leave but were stopped by her inquiry.
Liam, do you know of any good club around here?? she asked with a carefree look.
Ummm.... haha, he laughed a bit tensed by her question.
Why ask sister-in-law??
Well, I'm tired of staying in this house so I want to catch some fun.
Yeah, staying as a prisoner sucks I want to go out and I don't give a fuck about what he does when he finds out and yeah screw this business proposal too that made him reach out to me only today. And fuck him for thinking he can just travel and leave me here and come back when he pleases.
Well.
Leo!
Hmm... he replied tensed too.
Don't you know any??
Um. May.
It's fine if you both don't want to help, thanks to this machine I'll just search and use Google Maps. She said sitting down to open the laptop and use it, we both panicked instantly and stopped her from going further.
Don't!! they both said at once.
Why?? she asks looking at them confused.
I know a nice one, Leo said regretting his words instantly, and Liam gave him the look of "Are you crazy" and he returned it with a helpless look.
Logan will surely have his head for the feast.
Ok great so, what's the time now?? she asked inquisitively.
5:00 PM answered Liam who checked his watch.
Great I've got enough time to prepare! I said excitedly. You guys have a meeting right?? How about you go to the office and return later so that we'll crash the party together??
Don't worry we'll wait till it's time, the meeting wasn't important anyway said Leo, and Liam agreed.
Over their dead body will she leave this house, particularly to a club without them? Cause if that happens their death will be official.
Okay, I'll go and get ready then. Nanny Lucinda please can you get them something to eat? she said as she approached the kitchen.
Yes Ma'am
Thank you!
I'll be back shortly, she said going upstairs.
Bro, we're so doomed! Commented Liam once they were alone.
Trust me you don't even need to tell me, I already know he'd kill us if this gets to him.
Well until then. I'll go and eat now, the food smells good.
Wow! Thanks, Nanny Lucinda.
You're welcome but I haven't been doing the cooking for quite some time now so the person you should be thanking is Ma'am Nalani. She's the new chef, the old lady explained with a sweet smile.
Wow! I swear Logan has the real package, I mean look at the table chilli con carne, chicken-fried steak, Fagitas, pecan pie, Brisket, Chile con Queso. Damn, this lady is a Texan chef!!
I swear bro let's dig in.
After taking their seats they both dug in a had this satisfied look on their faces as they both savoured the taste of it. She was good indeed. They filled their tummies well and made phone calls cancelling the meeting. After two hours of eating and watching TV, Nalani came downstairs looking desirable like a bomb.
Hey guys I'm set to go.
She informs them, they both stood up and saunter to where she was standing and couldn't even utter a phrase, it was like her magnificence caught them in a spell. They were both afraid to say a word for fear of screwing things up.
Hello, she said snapping her fingers twice in front of them.
Both blink and clear throats, yeah, let's go. Liam said while giving a sign to Leo for him to inform Logan about this.
