THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET ( MxM))

6. WANT HIM CLOSE!

WANT HIM CLOSE

BRODY’S POV

What is happening to me? Never have I ever entertained someone like that. I am always the arrogant boss, not the easy to talk to boss.

I have never for once talked to someone like that. What is it with Ryan? What is so special about that man?

I tried to focus on the monthly budget paper that Fiona gave to me but I found myself drifting. Mostly I was thinking about Ryan and how good he looked in that suit.

Since I was not concentrating, I decided to take a break. Sighing, I grabbed my coat and walked out of my office.

“Do you need anything sir?” Alex asked as he walked with me to the VIP elevator.

“I am fine Alex, I just need a break,” I told him.

“Sir, you have never said this before. You are always working,” He said this to me and even though it hit me hard, I pretended that it didn’t.

“Are you questioning me now?” I asked him and he remained dead silent.

“I am so sorry sir. I did not mean to question you,” He apologized just before I walked out of the elevator.

The lobby was deserted. This was simply a slap to my face that we were losing in the game. There was hardly anyone except the bunch of employees looking at me hoping that I was going to smile at them.

“Hi Sir,” A blonde employee greeted me but I didn’t bother to turn and greet her back.

I walked in silence with Alex behind me and once I was outside, my driver pulled right in front of me.

“Stay,” I told Alex.

“But sir…”

“I said stay.” I mouthed as the driver got the car door for me.

“Yes sir!”

I sat in the car and waited for the driver to get in.

“Where do you want to go to sir?” He asked.

“To my airport,” Wow, I didn’t know that, there is where I wanted to go. It just hit me that, there is the place to be once I mentioned. My dad had bought a hundred acres of land on the outskirts of the town and we decided that, the place was going to be our private airport.

The place was well fenced and it had a nice security. It was well maintained also and you could almost think that it was a public airport but it was actually our airport. 

Earlier on when the business was booming, we managed to buy our first jet. Few years ago, I added another jet. My dad had previously bought around about airplanes and three helicopters. This was just to easen travelling because of the jam and whatsoever at the airport. This was also a business strategy, to ensure that the executive customers of our hotel only get from the best.

“Okay sir,” He took my orders.

“Call Fiona,” I instructed.

“Sir, I am right here at your service,” Fiona chided when the call went through.

“Cancel all my tomorrow’s plans. “ I ordered.

“But sir, you have to meet with the board. They were…” She countered but I cut her off right away.

“Who is the CEO?” I implored.

“It is you sir. I am sorry sir. I will rearrange the meeting,” She mumbled.

“Put her off,” I ordered and my driver did as I had said. I wanted some peace and quiet and Fiona was not giving me that at the moment. This girl is such a pain in the ass. If it were not for the factors that I mentioned earlier, then she should be fired by now. I don’t tolerate that type of nonsense.

In the next fifteen minutes, everything was ready. My driver had ensured that my bags and all my staff were packed and brought to the airport. The entire crew were summoned and they stood in front of me waiting for orders.

“To Miami. I want to go to Miami,” I told them and they all saluted.

I had worn some glasses because of the hot sun and I pocketed as I gave the instructions. I loved the feeling that all of them were under me. They were actually working for me and anything I could say, they could make it happen. Even if I wanted to circumnavigate around the world right now, they were definitely going to make it happen.

The air hostess welcomed me into the airplane and once I was in, I requested for a bottle of tequila.

It is long since I went for a fun trip and I think that I needed this. Maybe by failing to concentrate it was just a way of my brain telling me that I needed to rest. You know, no matter how hard you work, it comes a time when what your body wants is to rest.

“The bottle is here sir. “The airhostess by the name Diana served me but I didn’t care to look at her in the face. I know how much she wants me to look at her, but I don’t want to.

I don’t want her to have it in her head that I felt something for her. I didn’t. Actually, I have never felt something for a woman before. I don’t have time for that s**t.

I know that all that women want is to enjoy the wealth that my dad and my grandparents made. All they will do once we start dating is posting pictures of us to the social media platforms and bragging about the soft life yet they didn’t take part in building this empire.

This people are merely gold diggers. I can never even let them fly with me in my plane.

I know that I have a lot of money and giving out around ten thousand dollars will not break by bank, but still, I won’t give the money out. I believe in hard work. Nothing else apart from that.

I drank my tequila slowly as I enjoyed the view of the setting sun. I love this good soft life. This is how it’s supposed to be and I am going to do everything to bring down The High End Hotel.

Something tells me that Ryan knows more than what he told me about The High End Hotel. Maybe I need to bring him closer to me. Plus, I really like him. He is a nice guy to talk to.

“Do you need anything else sir?” Diana asked me.

“Close the damn curtains! I don’t want to see your ugly face,” I told her this without turning to face her. She was irritating me and I wanted for her to leave me alone.

She shut the curtains and then pulled them open in an instant.

“What is wrong with me sir?” She asked and I shook my head in disappointment. She really didn’t know who the hell she was dealing with.

“Who are you to give orders around here?” I asked sipping slowly from my glass of tequila.

“I am sorry sir, but I just wanted to ask if there is something wrong with me. Honestly sir, I am all yours. I want you to know that, okay? I can do anything for you. You always have me. You don’t have to sit here alone and drink in silence. I can always keep you company,” She moved closer and unbuttoned her blouse but still, I did not look.

“Look at me sir, I know that you will like what you will see,” She added.

“You are messing up with my patience. Stop this rubbish,” I yelled and I could see how her face turned red in embarrassment.

“I don’t need a w***e, Diana, or whatever your name is. You were hired here to do your job and that is to serve me. Since you have failed to do what brought you here, you are fired!” I yelled and the poor lady fell to her feet.

“Please forgive me sir. I will never repeat this again. Please sir, I really need this job.” She begged with fresh tears bursting from her eyes.

“Can someone get this woman out of my sight?” I yelled and right away, two gentlemen who were responsible for my security once I am in the airplane come in and dragged Diana out.

She was still crying but I didn’t care. After all, I am not the one who asked her to seduce me. She should have done her job.

“Anything else sir?” The bodyguards come back for another order but I completely ignore them.

I was okay. All that I wanted was peace so that my brain could think about the most important things in life and that is, the Grand Hotel.

I wanted to figure out how to beat the High End Hotel and regain the power that they took from me. Talking about The High End Hotel, how can I bring Ryan close to me?

I need him to tell me more and to open up to me. I need him close to me.
