Keeping it in Business Terms
Keeping it in Business Terms
The elevator came to a stop at the twentieth floor as indicated on the LED screen and my heart heaved some more, anxiety almost kicking in as we made towards that hall. Sophia was walking by my side all along, ensuring me that everything was already set, saying I had no reason to be nervous. But who wouldn't be? It was the first time I would acquire a company and I was only buying over any company, I was taking over the only one that would made my dad run for his own money and may get him out of business totally if I so decided. My day, oblivious to my plans already stepped too fast, ensuring my heart felt no remorse what what the future held in stock, plans only Sophia and Evelyn had known before now. Graciously the slut called Lucia wasn't a party anymore neither was she aware of what was going on underground while we fucked like porn stars only.
The conference had two lawyers, four standard accounts and other people of importance, Sophia being the most important. I didn't have much to say as Sophia already closed the deal on my behalf, just left for me to sign and meet the former bosses.
"It is an honour to leave Rowlings in an able hand, I heard what you already did with your dad's fame. It is a shame he chose a female to run family business now" Sanchez, the founder of Rowlings Technology said, handling over his position. We exchange handshakes and switched places, with me now at the head of the table, right where I belonged.
"Thank you for making the smart choice. I will take it up from where you stopped " I promised Sanchez and that was followed by applause.
"Congratulations Steve. Amongst all bidders, my spirit chose you. This is only a beginning of business transactions between the Steve and Sanchez clan, we are doing this over again and on other basis, this country needs people like us in business, men that are ready to achieve their dreams no matter what" he added. We had a small office party to celebrate my newest baby, Rowlings Technology, RT, which would be mine forever, because I had no plans of selling.
We had the fun for hours, from filling and refilling glasses to visiting different departments of my enviable firm, a company that made the most profit yearly in the whole state, RT had no competitors according to investors, and I could see it now that I was the CEO, a real one with words that would be law.
Sophia, being my Personal Secretary hady phone all day, answering calls and responding to texts, she had earned my trust beyond any doubts, making me give her a special key to my empire and life.
"Boss, your sister calls" she announced, showing me the caller's ID. Florence was a snitch, but I had to keep making her believe she had control.
"Hello Big sis" I said, as Sophia placed the phone on my left ear while I continued with the job on my desk.
"You left home since morning and no one knows your location. Your car was found empty at a park. Why are endangering your life?" She asked, sounding like a drug cartel boss.
"I'm safe and trust me, I'm in good hands" I said, looking up at Sophia with a sweet smile. Yes, I was totally in safe hands.
"I don't doubt that. But dad wants to have a word with you. " she said.
"Dad should know I can take care of myself. I'm not a minor so I get into trouble, I can face things on my own."
"Far be it. Dad thinks you still have a shot" she said. Whatever she meant was way too late to sound exciting but I still let her speak anyway.
"A shot at what?"
"The company. The position of a C.O.O would be okay for you as his son until you're fit enough to run your own small business" she said. I smiled hard at her ignorance. Florence thought she had a company to run, a company that would run into huge debt in a few days. Even her bank account had no money to sustain business. Well, I had my inheritance from my dad already, selling those unsused cars and cutting off some old investors' benefits had gotten me so much money to help me buy RT, a company that stood out from all. Serving under Florence was now impossible.
"Oh that's nice of him. He made the right choices finally. But, I will still pass" I told her, still working on the executive list of RT.
"This is your last chance. And one of your personal favourites skipped work without notice today. Is she away of the consequences?"
She was obviously referring to my sweetest staff, Sophia, who stood by me literally.
"Yes, she's out. Her services were to me, you have Lucia. I'm sure she can serve you better, she's good with the fingers" I said and Sophia giggled, struggling to keep her voice off the phone.
"Whatever that meant, I hope it was a joke. Dad needs you home" she concluded.
"The old pal has his wife at home if he wants someone to come urgently." I joked.
"Fuck you. You're annoying. Who the fuck do you think you? Why are you staying proud despite being ripped off everything?" She asked, now sounding frustrated.
"She finally asks. I wasn't unprotected all along, it just that you didn't see past the mirror." I told her.
"The mirror? There wasn't no mirror kiddo. The only mirror available is the one in your room, opposite your bed, yes.... That same mirror that watched me fuck your brains out, same that will witness me fuck you again and again " she blasted, and I looked at Sophia again to ensure she hasn't heard that part. She kept a plain face and it was a sign she didn't get anything.
"That is your problem big sis. You couldn't look behind the mirror. You only saw yourself carrying out your plans. You didn't see the dusts gathering up behind the mirror." I said, leaving her puzzled.
"You're speaking like an insane man now. Dad was right, your head has gone nuts" she pointed.
"You should have known better. Enjoy your day!" And I signaled Sophia to end the call, which she did.
"Boss, where are we going from here?" Sophia finally asked as I logged off the computer.
"Somewhere private. You deserve something to help you burn off some steam, you have worked so hard. Her excitement knew no end as we left the office. I knew I was loved my my new employees already the way they greeted as Sophia and I walked through work areas, escorted by the security. It could've been fear of being fired but part of the agreement that landed us the deal with Sanchez was the retainment of his regular staffs, I only had the liberty of sack anyone after three months if need arose but as to form the sensitive positions, I had the choice of appointing Departmental heads and managers while the Board of Directors was to comprise of those I desired. I already had my names written and prepared for appointment into the executive wing.
The ride to my house mansion was taken in a new convoy and security operatives followed behind and in front. The long line of cars could alert anyone that a billionaire was in town, not any billionaire but the newest CEO has emerged.
"Are we always going to move with these people?" I asked Sophia as the driver took a turn. She smiled, looked behind us to observe the long line of cars following, all exclusive models.
"Yes boss. You are now the CEO of Rowlings. You have other cartels running businesess in this town who would want to rob you off for many reasons. I'm sure you know." She said.
"You're right but won't it mean we would be becoming too famous and into the light?"
"That's what this is about. TV interviews, business meetings, politics and many more, money comes with more responsibilities. You can't stand on that mountain top without been seen Boss" she said intelligently, causing me to see her beauty beyond boobs and pussy. Sophia was a blessed soul, in a beautiful body and crowned with a brain that works, yet she decided to satisfy me and my company, she deserved more.
"Oh right. But I don't want to be on TVs yet honey. I'm still on low till my family knows my worth" I told her.
"You're the boss. I'm here to support you" she affirmed, giving another smile.
"You're a sweet heart" I told her as the beautiful gate ran to the sides, giving way for all nine luxurious cars to pass and then close as the last one gained entry. We were in my house,y compound, modern and worth every dollar.
Everyone else took their positions, standing by the gate, the door, the cars and some men in dark suits and security earpieces followed us, they were special guards from the government to protect men like me and Sanchez that were generating huge revenue.
"Stay here" Sophia ordered the men as they stood at the door way leading to my room. Living as a boss just got real again and the joy that came with it was what I didn't want to lose ever.
"I will make you understand the difference between and fucking and making love tonight" Sophia told me as she began undressing, giving me imaginary pictures of what she planned to do to me that night, I hoped would be more practical and slow enough for me to take in the moment.
