Chapter 2
She looks familiar
Jayden POV
Stepping out of the bathroom, with a towel, hanging dangerously around my waist, my body dripping wet, I walked over to the dresser, and leaned in on the chair, as I stared at my good looking reflection. What more can I possibly ask for? I mean, look at me, I have the most handsome face ever, the most perfect body shape, perfect voice, everything about me is so perfect, and I have many ladies on my lists, both young and old, tripping for me, but heck! I don't give a damn about them, I'm not a flirt, so I don't give them attention.
After I was done drooling at my own image, I chuckled softly, before walking over to my cabinet, and picked out my office clothes, which is a set of black suits, and a pair of black shoes. An hour later, I was finally done dressing up, and by the time I glanced at the wall clock, I was wowed at the time, I'm already three hours late, not that I care though.
Taking a one last glance at my reflection, I finally stormed out of the room, not after picking my briefcase.
My name is Jayden Turner, a twenty seven years old young handsome business tycoon. Business is what I have passion for, so I have many companies in my name, but not in Oklahoma. My dad resides here, and he lately willed his company here to me, since he's ageing, so I had to come down here, to take over the company.
Stepping out of my room, I walked through the spacious hallway, till I got to the deck of the grand staircase, before descending down it, and in the next seconds, I was already in the living room, where I met my old dad, sipping from the mug of hot coffee, while watching the early morning news. The connection between dad and news, is inseparable, he loves anything that has to do with news.
"Good morning dad." I smiled heartily at him.
"Good morning son, did you sleep well?" He returned the smile, as he glanced at me, and took his attention back to the TV almost immediately.
"Yes dad, I'm off to the company." I said, while adjusting my tie with my left hand.
"I thought you aren't going to resume today, it's almost 10am." He said, giving me an unbelievable look.
"I had a hectic day yesterday, trying to set up some things, so I slept off quite late, and today, I woke up late, I'm off already dad, see you later." I said.
"Ok son, but you haven't had breakfast." He said.
"About that, I'll have breakfast when I get to office, I have to be on my way now." I smiled at him.
"Alright son, take care of yourself, and enjoy your new company." He gave me an assuring smile, and with that, I smiled and stormed out of the house, and soon, I was at the parking lot, where fleets of cars were parked.
Hopping in on one of my cars, I dropped my briefcase on the seat beside the driver's seat, before igniting the car engine, after which I revised and drove out of the compound, and in split seconds, I was already on my way to the company.
After driving for what seemed like forever, I finally got to the big gate of the company, which rolled opened after a few minutes, and I drove in.
Parking at the garage, I alighted, and started walking off to the entrance door.
A middle aged man, of about forty five or fifty years of age, came rushing towards me, and once he got to me, he took my briefcase.
"Good morning sir." The young man greeted me, but I just hummed a yeah, while walking briskly to the elevator, and once I got in, he got in too, before it took off, and in the next minutes, the door rolled opened, and he lead me to my supposed office.
Stepping into the spacious office, I couldn't hold back the 'wow', that escaoed my lips. The interior design is really beautiful and eye catching, whoever designed it, must really be a pro in this.
Walking over to the seat behind the desk, I kept admiring the portrait of my dad, hanging almost everywhere in the office, and I must say that it really added to the beauty of the office.
"Sir, the staffs are all waiting for you to come address them." The young man said politely, pulling me back to reality.
"Oh! Alright I'll be there." I replied, not taking a glance at him, as my gaze was fixated on the portrait of my dad, having a pic of when he was still a young man, I couldn't help the smile that crept its way to my face, I really miss the young man, I miss him, being young.
"Ok sir, I'll be on my way now, please do call me if you need anything, I'm just outside your office." He said, before turning to go.
"Uhm what's your name?" I asked, as I finally turned to face him for the first time since we walked in.
"Liam Harper sir, I used to be your dad's secretary, but now your secretary." He said.
"Oh I see." I nodded unbelievably. What the heck! This is crazy! For the fact that he used to be my dad's secretary, doesn't mean he must be my secretary, right? I mean, how can I let an elderly man like him, work as my secretary? That's not possible.
He bowed slightly, before finally working out of of my office.
Letting out a soft sigh, I finally turned and walked out of my office, and as soon as I got to my so called old secretary's office, I met him sitting behind his desk, doing what I don't know on his computer. He better enjoy the rest of his days here, coz he's leaving soon, and when I say soon, I mean, his days here are numbered. I don't care if dad agrees to it, but he must leave.
"Oh you're here Sir, this way please." He said, as he stood up and gestured for me to come with him, while heading to the door.
Walking my way to where the staffs were all gathered, waiting patiently for me, I was forced to stop on my track, as my eyes met with someone, she looks familiar...
