CHAPTER 8
1011 Words
It's already 11 pm, close to midnight, and I am still wide awake. I can't sleep. I can't get out of my mind what Dad and I talked about. What he said is still echoing in my mind. Not only that but also the face of that man. Not just his face, but also what he said.
/Yes. You are a man. And I am a man also. But we need to marry each other./
This is really insane.
I got up from lying on my bed.
"Ah, this is really insane," I whispered. Shaking my head, I took my laptop and googled that man. Since he is the CEO, I am expecting that I will find pieces of information about him on Google.
I put his name in the search tab and clicked it.
Oh! He is on Wikipedia. I clicked the article and his background showed up.
/Lukeweynn Ferrer. A handsome, 25-year-old, rich, CEO of Ferrer's Car Incorporation.../
So, he is 25 years old. Damn!? Seriously? He is six years older than me and he has his own company. Tch! Well, I can also have that soon. When Dad left our company for me.
I continue reading.
/Lukeweynn Ferrer was born in Amsterdam. He moved to the Philippines with his parents at the age of 7. He finishes his business studies at Southville International School./
Wait! What? Did he use to be a student at SIS? In that case, he was my senior. Ew!
/At the age of 21, he became the CEO of his company, Ferrer's Car Incorporation, which is currently ranked 1 of the most successful companies.../
Tch! I close the article. Nonsense. I don't want to know about his f*****g achievements.
I scrolled down, trying to find some negative news about him but I couldn’t find anything. There are only a few articles here that are all written in the same way-all about the popularity of his company. Damn! Boring!
I will look at his pictures instead. He can't be more handsome than me.
I clicked the image sections to see his photos.
What the heck? Why is he handsome? He looked better in the photos.
What did I just say?
No. I didn't say that. I am more handsome than him. That's right. I am more handsome than him.
I scrolled down.
Unexpectedly, I saw a picture of him wearing only underwear.
What. The. f**k?
I clicked the image to see it on a full screen.
"Calvin Klien," I uttered as I saw the brand of underwear he was wearing. So, he modeled this underwear.
But for some unknown reason, I found myself staring at the bulging object on the bottom part of his body.
Damn! I think it's huge.
"What!? What the f**k? What am I saying? Why am I looking at that? Damn! This is crazy!"
I immediately closed my laptop and put it away.
"Tch! I had better go to sleep."
I lay down on my bed again. I close my eyes and sleep.

SUNDAY MORNING ~
I'm currently eating breakfast with Dad and he keeps on reminding me that I'm going to see Lukeweynn at 11 AM. He also gave me that crazy man's number. Tch. I can’t believe I would do this thing.
"Don't forget. He's the CEO and the most respected man. Please act politely, be professional."
"You're a CEO too."
"And you're my son. That's why I am saying this. Don't let me down, Jake."
This is really so damn ridiculous! But do I have a choice? Tch!
"Okay, Dad."
"Okay. I'm going now. You have plenty of time to prepare yourself. Dress properly." He said and stood up. "I'm going."
"Yeah. Take care, Dad." I said, and he walked out of the dining area. Leave the house.
After I ate breakfast, I went back to my room to take a shower. But before I could enter the bathroom, I heard a knock from outside the door.
Who's that?
I walked towards the door and my brows raised to see my friends.
"Hey, dude!" They greeted me with broad smiles.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them.
"Hey? Can't we come here?" Gab asked, laughing a little. "Can we come in?"
"Tss. Come on in." I said and let them inside my room. "So, what are you doing here?" I asked them again.
"Dude, you don't know?" Zed asked.
“What?" I was bewildered. I don’t remember that we had plans today.
"We're going to your queen's house today. She also invited us to go there. She said she also told you, so we thought of going there together." Zed explains.
Oh, damn it! I forgot!
"Shit."
"Don't tell us you forgot?" Gab asked.
"I forgot."
"It's a good thing we came here. By the way, where is Jasmine?" Tobi asked.
Gab laughed. "Why don't you just admit that Jasmine is really your goal here? Tss." Said Gab, shaking his head and jumping on my bed. Zed also threw himself on my bed, while Tobi sat down on the sofa.
"What are you talking about? I'm just asking." Tobi scratched the back of his head.
"Tss. She's not in here..."
"Where is she? At work?"
"No. She left the country."
He was surprised by what I said. "What!? When? Why?"
"You don't have to know. I'm going to take a shower." I said, and I went inside the shower room.
"Hey! I'm your brother-in-law. Shouldn't you be supporting me? Why? Why did she leave? When did she leave?" I heard him yell outside.
I ignored him.
Brother-in-law, my ass.

I turned off the shower. Grab the towel and wrap it around my waist. I used the other towel to wipe my hair. I got out of the shower room.
I found the three of them facing my laptop.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked them. They looked at me and they seemed to be laughing.
Suddenly, I remembered what I had searched for last night. Damn! I didn’t close the tab. s**t!
