Chapter 197
Nicolas
When Nikki ran to her room I went to my office, I had a few things to do and I needed to get the ring in my safe. When the ring was safely in the safe, I looked at my watch, it was past 6 pm already and Nicol wasn’t home yet, I send her a quick message “Sweetheart where are you? It’s getting late.” I was starting to worry about her. Not even a minute later she sends a message back. “We are on our way home but the traffic is hectic, you and Nikki should eat so long.” I wasn’t going to eat without her. “I’ll wait for you, but I’ll make sure Nikki eats and get’s everything ready.” “Thank you, Nicolas.” I put my phone down on my desk and went looking for Nikki. She was in the kitchen talking to Isabella and telling her about her first date that she’s going to have with Kevin on her birthday, fuck I hope Nicol says it’s okay or else I would have broken my girl’s heart. “Sweet pea is everything ready for tomorrow?” “Yes, dad and I’ve already showered. Where is mom? It’s getting late.” “She’s on her way; you eat so long.” “When I’m done with dinner can I call Kevin?” “Yes, you can. I’ll be in my office if you need me.” “Okay dad.” She said as I walked out.
I decided there is no time like the present to set my plan in action and besides I want to do this before Nicol finds out and tell me I can’t do it to Anton. I’ll do anything to get Karen off my back. So, the first step was to call Luther. His phone rang a few times before he answered. “Nicolas what’s wrong?” “Hi Luther, nothing is wrong or wait something might be wrong.” “Okay it must be important if you call me this time of the afternoon.” “It is.” “Has it got something to do with your meeting at Malonie Inc?” “You can say so, yes.” “Well stop talking in riddles and tell me what is going on.” “The meeting with William Maloni was interesting. In fact, you wouldn’t believe it, but it’s Karen’s father, she organized the meeting.” “Fuck, when is this woman going to leave you alone.” “I have an idea about that but first I want to tell you about the meeting.” “Shoot.” “First of all, the security was hectic I mean they escort you to the receptionist who doesn’t take her eyes off you not until the boss’s secretary comes and gets you. Who he is definitely fucking by the way.” “Okay.” It didn’t sound like that was weird to Luther. “Second off all, Karen is opening her own clothing line and wants an app for that as well. And because we are apparently getting married, he chose to meet me.” “Wait what?” “You heard me she told her dad we are getting married, when I told him his daughter was delusional, he basically kicked me out.” “That’s good, isn’t it?” “It is but then the COO followed me out and we went for coffee.” “Interesting, what happened.” Luther asked intrigued. “I want to tell you I think they are most definitely busy with illegal business Luther so illegal that the COO didn’t want to be seen with me and when we met at the coffee shop, he was looking over his shoulder the whole time, like he was expecting security to follow him.” “Fuck Nicolas we dodged a bullet there.” “We did but the COO also told me Karen was fixated on him for more than a year that’s why he became the COO of Malonie Inc and when he told the old man he has nothing to do with Karen, he wanted to demote him but Karen already leaked the news to the papers.” “Fuck that woman is really something…” Luther said. “You can say that again, but then it was the COO who send Karen my way, I was an easy target, I only went out with models and now she’s, my problem. He also said as soon as she gets someone else to fixate on, she let’s go of the current one.” “So basically, we need someone else for her to fixate on?” Luther asked “We do I already have a candidate in mind but I need your help.” “Okay what do you want me to do?” “Before I go there aren’t you in the least curios about what kind of business Malonie Inc. are busy with?” “You know what Nicolas, no not at all as long as we are not part of it, I don’t want to know anything. Now rather tell me about why you need my help?”
Okay maybe I shouldn’t worry either but like I said I’m curious. “Okay I was thinking of to set her up with Anton. But as I’m not speaking to either of them, I want you to set it up.” “What do you mean set it up? What should I set up?” Luther asked but I could hear in his voice he wasn’t very happy with my plan although he haven’t heard the whole plan yet. “Everyone knows how you felt about Nicol and I’m sure Anton doesn’t know you are getting along now.” “Okay.” “I want you to set up a drink date with Karen and Anton tell them you want to share something about me and Nicol.” “Okay what am I sharing?” He asked hesitant. “You are going to tell Anton and Karen you think if they are seen together dating and, in the papers, I’ll get jealous and come back to her.” “What is that going to help with your Anton problem?” “At this stage Anton just wants to fuck with me, so don’t worry he will go for it.” “What is the result you want Nicolas?” Luther asked clearly not happy with my plan. “I want them to fall madly in love I know that is too much to ask especially with Anton in the mix but Karen falling for Anton and making him her fixation will also work.” “Okay I can see your plan working, if Anton isn’t his usual self and being a dick to her.” “You don’t understand Luther, she’s so thick she won’t even mind him being a dick to her. The thing that will work for Anton if you tell him Karen’s father is a billionaire, he likes using women to get to there rich fathers.” “Fuck Nicolas I don’t know how you could have been friends with him for so long?” “To tell you the truth Luther me neither.”
