Caspar's POV.
" Dad, I gotta go. Excuse me."
I got up and walked out of the living room, returned back to my bedroom, took out my credit cards and passport.
' I need to settle down in France for a few days to look for that woman. That's the least I can do if I want to find her,' I said to myself.
I changed my clothes into casual wear. Black pants and black shirt, topped with a leather jacket and pair of black gloves. I looked at myself in the mirror and smirked.
"This is a perfect feigning since I don't want to gather attention from the US media. Also I don't plan to let my dad find out I'm going to stay in France for a while."
I rubbed my forehead in frustration. If Dad gets to know he will inform chairman Austin Diór to follow me which I can never let happen.
I hurriedly rushed out without getting seen by my parents. I asked one bodyguard to drive me to the airport because I couldn't use a private jet.
After a few hours of flight, in the evening.
I was in my hotel suite, relaxing alone and watching television. I never thought coach class would be that uncomfortable. I had always travelled in first class or by my private jet.
DING.
A message notification flashed on my phone's screen.
" Boss, the man who I hired to find the woman you slept with has some photos to send," Alex texted.
" Send it on my phone."
" Sure Boss."
I received a few images in my chat box. All the women in the picture had blonde hair and blue eyes but none of them were her. I texted back: "Not one of these is her."
" I see. Where are you now boss? I received a call from the chairman that you've left the house," Alex asked, getting panicked.
I typed, " I am in Hotel Maria, City Lyon."
Alex didn't reply back to my text, rather I heard the doorbell right after twenty minutes.
Who could be outside? I was a little worried about it because I've not informed anyone from my company or family about this address except Alex.
Alex! I understand. I opened the door and saw Alex standing there with a gloomy, scary face. He got inside without my permission and pulled his hair in some sort of annoyance.
He kicked a few air punches and shots. Looks like he was trying to cool down his rising temper. I don't blame him for that because I know the reason for his pissed mood.
" Boss..., how can you be here?" Alex stretched his words, sounding irritated.
I prefer not to be bothered by his questions. I need to get ready for the club. I grabbed the shopping bag from Alex's hands and pulled out the suit and trousers.
" Thank you Alex for buying me these ."
" Boss, you abandoned your office work. Neglecting your duties as CEO, you left your estate in New York to stay in this small suite. How can you do that with your billionaire image?"
Throwing the leather jacket on the bed, I put on the suit and tie. I was probably ignoring Alex because he was getting the wrong idea. I was here for a week and other than looking for that woman, I had some unfinished business too.
Getting annoyed by the rigid silent treatment, Alex fell to his knees.
" Chairman Alden Mcadam is going to murder me. He has literally warned me earlier when you disappeared in the club with some woman."
" Alex, listen to me...," I was about to explain but Alex interrupted me.
" Woman? Wait up, are you here for that woman? The CEO of Mcadam Group is looking for a woman who caused him to lose his virginity...! WOAH!"
God, this brat was a pain in the ass. Grabbing his collar, I lifted him up and warned," Alex, don't cross the limit. I've other business too."
" What business? Aren't you here to look for that woman?"
" You know the Roosevelt group, the Italian Mafia group?" I asked, loosening my grip on his collar.
" The Godfather of Roosevelt group died last night and his son Theodore Roosevelt has inherited the boss title," Alex informed while typing on his tablet.
Reading the biography of Theodore Roosevelt, Alex said," He's rumoured to be ex-bf of chairman Austin Dior's daughter... Boss..."
" He was my wife's boyfriend, I see," I chuckled, pouring wine in my glass. Taking a sip of wine I roughly commented," Why did chairman Austin Dior bother to get his daughter married to me? He already has strong support like Theodore Roosevelt!"
" AHEM!" Alex coughed and read the information," Roosevelt and Dior family are related by blood. They're actually descendants of the same family. So technically Theodore Roosevelt is the brother of Bella Dior."
" What on earth! Was that spoiled girl not aware of her family relations? She didn't even spare her brother LoL!" I laughed bitterly because it was like a sharp strike on my image.
Alex continued reading the article further. "My daughter was unaware of the family relations because House Dior and House Roosevelt had no connections with each other in today's time. Chairman Austin Dior attributed this to the scandal of his daughter Bella."
" That old fart didn't bother to correct his daughter's mistake, rather defended her," I cursed, drinking another glass of wine.
Alex puts the tablet in his suit's inner pocket and comes towards me. He raised his hand to pat on my shoulder which I immediately stopped.
" What do you think you're doing?"
" Your father will do the same if you get caught in a scandal with some mysterious club woman!" Alex confronted with sarcastic humour.
I distanced myself from him and opened the door. " Want to hang out tonight? I'm in a mood for bloodbath!" I said before walking out.
" Should I bring the guns and rifles along?" Alex asked in a serious tone, he should have grasped the situation.
I paused and slightly tilted my face back, and nonchalantly replied, "Sure. We will need that.”
