Definitely this is what he would want.

But then again I really don't have a choice at this point. 

Degeant-rock’s success was my downfall. 

I really needed the most help I could get.

Soon enough i was on my way to the Milano's head quarters.

Shoving almost anyone I met on my way to the side, I finally made it to his office, and almost like the secretary knew about my arrival, he immediately let me in, and ushered me into Mr Milton's office. 

He was backing the entrance as he stared at the window into the beautiful Skyline of the city.  

“ Hmm.. whom do I have here?” 
After a brief pause, he turned his seat towards me and smiled. 

Spreading his arms. 

“ Miss discontent!” 

He chuckled while I frowned. 

“ And what was that supposed to mean Mr Milano?” 

I asked him now getting visibly annoyed. 

He chuckled, and got up, walking slowly towards me. 

He really did not look bad, even for his age.  

He actually had his peculiar charm. 

But then again knowing the reason I was in this with him made me resent him. 

Secretly of course.

“ You surely did not come here to get any form of respect or introduction from me. You are here for business, and business it will be. 

I saw your friend on the news.” 

He paused to look at me, “ she must be doing well, against your wishes.” 

he chuckled and took his seat. 

“ Oh my good Lord!” 

He exclaimed still laughing. 

I couldn't bear the mockery anymore and so I spoke up. 

“ Allright, enough of it. Enough already. You have had enough of your laugh, now I need a solution. 

One that woks and truly works. 

I need this done once and for all you know. 

I really need this to work out. 

I'm loosing it all in a bit.

Matter of time, I will run dry, and I will need funding. One that Jonathan could be of good use to me. 

And it comes easy of we are together. 

That's just it.” 

I sighed and threw myself on a seat right in front of him. 

“ Hmm!” 

He took another puff, before extinguishing the flames.

“ Allright then, you deem to be serious about this time. 

I will get it sorted out. 

I will make sure you get yourself at the top. 

She will eventually loose all of it to no other but you. 

But then, this time will be more Tasking that the last time.” 

He took quite a long pause, before continuing. 

“ From the both of us.” 

My eyes widened .

“ And what does that mean sir?” 

He smirked and shook his head. 

“ I'll keep it simple enough for you to understand. 

This time, I will need to rally all the help I can get. 

From his friends and foes alike. 

I am no Santa Claus you know that?. 

I of course will be paid way more than the last time. 

In kind though. Just more.” 

He winked at me, and I sighed. 

“ Nah man. This shouldn't be the way all the time. 

That was a one off. You swore not to have anything like that doing with me again didn't you?” 

He shrugged and replied. 

“ Apparently you want more of me. 

I mean, you came running to me yourself, not like I asked you if it. 

And by the way, it has gotten to a stage where you really have no say.” 

I immediately grew tensed. 

“ And by that you mean what?” 
I asked, and he shrugged. 

“ Simply put, you have no choice to say no to me whenever I need your body.

Of course you know what I am capable of.” 

He raised his head to me, and laughed. 

Wait a minute. 

this man..

Fucking hell. This God forsaken bastard of a man must have recorded out previous time making out. 

“ Oh goddammit!”

I cursed at the realisation. 

“ How could you be so petty?!” 

I banged on the desk before me, attempting to throw of some of the items, but I had to restrain myself. 

“ Take it easy girl. It doesn't mean I wouldn't be of help to you. 

It just means, I will eventually get to have my way at anytime I will, while I get you another task in exchange for my services. 

That should be clear now.” 

I quickly interrupted him “ you son of a bitch! You heartless evil Bastard! How could you do such?! I always knew you to be one hell of a crook you know,”

He shook his head, “ nah.. you're lying. You could have done better if you knew.”

“ You may sit gently while we talk this out, get thrown out by the security, or walk out by own accord”

I sucked my teeth, and replied him. 

“ Go to Hell with your silly plans. You scumbag!” 

Reclining his seat, he tapped a button on his desk, and in quite a jiffy, two hefty men rushed into the office. 

He motioned them with his hands to take me away. 

“ Don't you touch me, I'll get out on my own!” 

I tried to struggle but I was no match against their power.

So far so good all things were seemingly good and quite working out. 

Just recently against all odds at the listings, my company had managed to make it to the top 2 against all odds. 

All thanks to Jonathan and his team. 

I knew I was forever indebted to him on this one. 

But then I knew this was not the time to celebrate. 

Earlier today at work, I managed to catch a glimpse of Jonathan. 

He now looked slimmer. 

Definitely not him watching his weight. 

He was working overtime as a result of the sabotaging of his brands bid for endorsements. 

I knew this was not a time to be merry. 

I sat on the bed, thinking the days hassle over when I heard my phone ring. 

I immediately sighed. 

Normally I do not get these calls by this time. 

Could be Tyler. 

I picked the phone up, and took a glance at the caller ID. 

“Oh wow! Jonathan!.” 

I chuckled and immediately picked the call. 

“ Hi Joe,”

“ Hello dear,” his baritone voice replied from the other end, and nearly did I loose my guard. 

After talking for a while, he soon brought up the results from the other day. 

“ I must say you are flying high. Really high, against the odds you know. 

Not often do these things happen. 

The team did a fantastic job, especially with you at the helm of affairs.”

I shook my head and interrupted him, “ you can end it there, we both know you are the reason behind all of it, and I will never stop being grateful to you for it. 

Trust me you will get over this current challenge. 

You will see to the root of it all, and yeah you will win this bid.” 

He chuckled, and replied. “ Oh yeah, I so much wish I would. 

I really wish.” 

I felt vibration on my phone, and took it off my ear to check. 

It was another call incoming. 

This time the name read. “ George m”

“ Oh my good Lord “ I sighed hitting my palm on my forehead. 

“ Hey what was that?” 

Jonathan asked and I immediately denied. 

“ Uhm.. nah.. nothing serious, just a new series I had my eyes on.” 

I was grateful he bought the idea apparently, cause he moved on from there. 

Soon we were done with the call, but now was the new cause for alarm. 

“ George “
