Chapter 3
Greg
It's another stupid day, another busy day, I wake up lazy and look at my face in the bathroom mirror, my God, my dad was right, my youth is fading and I didn't make any achievements in my life
I called out what happened yesterday, my father and I were in a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce and all the members were there, including Daniel, the owner of the (Natural Bites) companies.
It is the strength of our competitors, perhaps our only competitor now, after I have taken out many companies in the market and acquired the rest.
I was busy talking with some of the members when I heard the discussion raging between Daniel and my father. I only intervened when I saw two of Daniel's sons (they are about the same age as me) interfering in the conversation to help their father, then I intervened to help my father,
"You're lonely James, no matter how strong you get, no matter how much you destroy other companies, you don't have any grandchildren or heirs. History will forget you, and the public will share the shares of your company, as if you had never existed before, neither you nor your father.'' Daniel was yelling as his sons tried to keep him away from us.
Daniel's sons calmed him down and I got out of the Chamber of Commerce building and forced my father to leave with me, and when we got into the car (I was driving)
"What is all this about? Don't waste your time on this idiot, I'll destroy him and his company, just give me at least five years. I promise you, dad" I said that while I was wearing my seat belt
"I know you can keep that promise, Greg, you're strong in anything related to destruction, but there's one more thing, son."
"What could it be"
''That Daniel has sons and grandchildren, Greg.''
''And what does this have to do with anything?'' I said sarcastically
''Don't you see that? This is the point that will overcome us in the long run.''
''what are you talking about?''
"Even if you destroy him, Greg, he has sons who will revive his company after him, three sons and two daughters. not mention the grandchildren that he already has If they face us, what can we do? They will restore their father's company and it will be stronger than before''
"This is nonsense, dad'' I know where the conversation will take us
No it's the truth. Listen to me Greg, all the effort your grandfather put in, that I did and you're doing now
All the toil, the meetings, the travels, all the time and the sacrifices, it's nothing without an heir, Greg, you gotta do something.
"So maybe you have to marry again and get yourself a baby" I said that nervously, yelling at my father
"I have a baby and he is not listening to me "yells at me back
I can't hold my nerve, and deliberately hit the back of the car parked in front of me, smashing the front of BMW my car. I spent the next two hours with the traffic police and the man who I hit his car, just to get rid of my father's insistence on opening up the subject of the grandson issue, he never tires of opening it from time to time.
I washed my tired body after standing under the shower, I feel tired, without new victims in my life, I just feel weak and as if there is no point in my presence in this life, I must find a new goal, destroying a person, I don't know... A company maybe, or some A project for a fool person, I need to get more action into my routine, I feel so board ,I put on my expensive tuxedo, and my precious accessories too, grabbed my bag, and headed to the company. I'm not in the mood to see people today, so I took the keys to my other car. The Mercedes. And I went to work alone (usually my chauffeur is the one who takes me to the company)
As soon as I arrived at the main entrance (I do not like to enter through the staff door) one of the guards took the key to the car to park it in my parking as a CEO and another guard opened the door for me as if I'm the king of the word. every employee who passed near him standing from his booth and saluting me (Good morning Mr. Greg) I heard it Seven to eight times before I reach my office
"Mr. Greg, I want to talk to you about the cost of shipping services for our goods, it costs us a lot, here is a deficit in the accounting balance because of it, and the value of depreciation is rising…'' before the financial manager finishes
''We'll cancel this stupid service, it's costing us a lot. We can use the money wasted on it in another more productive department, we will hire a third party to do this task as soon as possible''
''But sir, this service is an essential part of our final products, it has been since the time of the first founder of the company'' he objected
''his reign is over. Do as I told you'' I said it angrily when I was heading to my office
"Mr. Greg, I want to talk to you about some new laws for employment in some countries where our branches are located." The director of human resources said to me,
''Do what you see fit, all I care about now is expansion, even if I have to pay more costs'' I said that when I got to Margaret's office (my office manager ), gave her my jacket, my bag, and took my usual cup of coffee from her, when the marketing manager was waiting for me there
"Mr. Greg about our new design for our packaging…'' I interrupted her before she finished
''Prepare three designs and come to my office in two days. I will choose one of them''
I barely made it to my office when Margaret followed me with her frowning face and my bag, my jacket
'' you are late . Looks like someone was driving his car today''
''I know, Margaret, what's next?'' I take my first sip of coffee
Well, lots of papers to sign, some from the purchasing department, today the opening of our second factory in town. Do you want to go or should I send someone to represent you as usual?
''Choose any idiot to represent me, today I have no mood to face cameras and the journalism''
And today you have three meetings after you finish the briefing meeting with the departments heads,
the first meeting with (Blue Meat) company to discuss a by- product they want to make it with us, and a meeting with (Business Solutions) company for Statistics Software, for the program you requested, and finally you have an appointment with your lawyer at 4 pm
"I hate it when you arrange my appointment with the lawyer at the end of the schedule! I would like to go home early today to rest, I am tired! He talks all the time and the meeting won't end until late"
"Well, why don't you have a date, do you?"
"I wish, "I take another sip of coffee, open my bag and take out my laptop
Margaret went out from my office, she was my father's secretary in the first place, and I preferred to keep her in her position because I admire her skills in managing the office, although she is old, but she is very intelligent and quick in everything. Otherwise, I would have replaced her with a pretty girl who I can grab her ass every morning
I got up and stood by the window of my office looking at that beautiful view, the green mountains above them with white clouds and I could see the whole city below, I could even see my father's villa on the hill through that window. So many decisions I made while looking at that view
I put my cup of coffee, I went through endless meetings, a lot of quarrels, arguments, a lot of phone calls, emails, I met with this shit (Blue Meat) his idea is really not bad actually , but we have to do a market study before
Margaret came to my office around 02:30 P.M
''Mr. Gregg, (Business Solutions) people are waiting for you in the conference room."
"I don't want to go to the conference room, Margaret, I will meet them here at the conference table in my office," I told her without looking at her, as I was writing important emails to various destinations
"Mr. Greg, if you bring them here, you'll be busy with your e-mails during the meeting."
"Please Margaret. They're computer-geeks, oh by the way I want the IT manager to be with us, he knows more about these things than I do."
I heard Margaret's voice come into my office while I was busy writing and she welcomed the guests
''This is our CEO, Mr. Greg Hanson, Mr. Greg, this is Robert, the director of the Business Solutions Company, and this Ms. Linka she is the software designer in the company, and Ms. Gi she is a software designer as well.
The last word I heard was Linka, I didn't hear the rest of the conversation,
I go back through my memory, is she the pretty blonde Linka that I was disparity trying to get her?!
I quickly turned my face to the group of young people standing in front of me looking for her, and my eyes opened like baseballs
And she was there. She's amazing, beautiful as I remember, she's even prettier now, she's just a bit taller, her breasts and butt are bigger and firm, her body in general is much curvy now, her blond hair is longer than before, her eyes are still like spring trees, I can smell it Her feminine perfume from behind my desk, I can see her lips shining, they're shining and calling my name
"L…Lin… Linka '' I gasped, I can't believe I'm seeing her again
"Greg" She said surprised
I got up from my office unconsciously, ignoring her colleagues around us, and I approached her, opening my arms to her (Welcome to my heart, my sweaty, welcome, I miss you so much, I thank the fate that brought us together again)
I hugged her a little with a quick kiss on the cheek, and I kept shaking hands with her looking at her as she looked at me back with a smile on her angelic face.
She was wearing a white shirt with black pants, a beige and black striped jacket, black heels, her hair in a ponytail like the first time I met her. She's incredibly beautiful, she came to me on her feet, and I'll never let her go away this time.
"You look great, how...how are you? How's everything with you?"
"I'm fine, what about you? Didn't... I didn't know that you became the CEO of the company!. How is Mr. Hanson?"
"He's… he's fine, just fine," I said than apologize to shook hands with her manager and colleague, introduced myself once more and invited them to sit at the meeting table on the other side of my spacious elegant office
"You are undoubtedly lucky Mr. Robert. To have such a hardworking employee, she trained in one of our factories several years ago, and she was an excellent negotiator and a good persuasive. She was always teasing me." I said with a smile looking at her.
"Actually yes, Linka is one of our best employees, she has been working with us for two and a half years ….isn't she," said Robert, not sure how many years.
"About two years" Linka corrected him.
Robin came, (the director of the IT department in the company), and he was talking a lot with Robert, Linka and Gi were interfering a little to clarify some points, the meeting was successful and went smoothly.
In fact, I was not paying much attention to what they were saying. They were trying to explain to us the advantages and characteristics of the program, and inquired about the additional features that we would like to add on it, who are our audience and many things like this nonsense, how much I hate this babbler Robert.
I was busy looking at her from the corner of my eyes the whole time, imagining her dancing for me at the meeting table, which we are sitting around. Look at her hands as she moves the papers in front of her with her fingers with pink nail polish and this bracelet, I can only eat these two hands, thank God there is no engagement ring on her finger yet.
I was looking at her neck as she moved it, I could suck the blood out of her veins like a vampire. I was looking at all her body, and her eyes and the features of her beautiful face, all this, my beautiful blond, will be mine soon.
The meeting took an hour and a half, it was the first meeting I had enjoyed so much.
When the guests about to leave, I made sure that Linka will be the last to shake hands with, to have a privet time to speak with her
"That was a great job my dear, I really liked this show, I think I will see you again" (I will buy anything that keeps you close to me sweetheart)
"Oh really, that's great news." She was happy looking at me with a smile
"Linka it's been a long time, how about if we catch up together again. Do you have a time now to have lunch together"?.
"It's a good idea but today I have a lot of work backlog in my office, maybe some other time Mr. Greg"
Don't you ever call me Mr. again, we're friends, aren't we? Do you remember that? I was talking to her and placing my hand on her shoulder after I felt that she really considered me a friend
"So, how is your family in Russia? who is working with you in your new company? Is there anything new in your life? Do you see anyone now?" This last question is what interests me the most.
"Well my grandmother passed away a few years ago, and my brother came to work here in America in a nearby state. We meet from time to time".
"Oh my condolences sweetheart. I wish all the best to your brother" and…..? I gave her a gesture to complete her answer
"And yes I'm seeing someone, and we are living together now as a couple, in fact you know him" And she winks at me
OMG, This is not the answer I was hoping for. Damn. Who could this person be? Whoever he was
I will destroy him, and you will come back to me, my sweetheart, I promise you. Hey, I think I know him! Could he be...!
"PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HE'S THE SPUD STUFFER "
"Yeah it's him, and don't call him like that again Greg, he's a cop now" She was speaking seriously with a slight smile
"OMG Linka. You could do better than him, but it's good for him at least"
"My God, I can't believe you're still talking about him in this way, despite the passing of all these years."
"No, no, no. Listen, I'm sorry, I'm sure you've made the right choice, and I wish you both good luck. I'm just trying to tease you. ok ? Here that is my business card, if you need anything at any time, do not hesitate to contact me"
"Thanks Greg, this is my business card too. I had the pleasure of meeting you today after all this time. Please do not forget to send your father my regards"
I didn't let her go without hugging her, I wish I could pick her up and put her on my desk and play together the boss and his secretary. I watched her go with her group until she disappeared.
Then I grabbed my phone and called the security guard
"Get me my car to the main entrance quickly" .This time I will follow her to the end of the world, I must know where she lives, and all the details of her life
"Greg, where are you going? You have an appointment with a lawyer in a little while?" .When Margaret sees me I put on my jacket and I hurry out of my office
"Let this ass hole go to the hell, reschedule for another appointment later "
I got to the main door and threw the bag into the car as soon as the guard opened it for me
"Get out of my face," I yelled at him, moved the car, I put on my sunglasses and sped up to catch their car carefully so that they wouldn't notice that I was following them.
I arrived at their company premises, I waited at the employees' exit, and I waited for a very long time, my eyes did not lose sight of the door for a moment, (Like a predatory animal that waits for it prey to bounce on it).
I check every blond who walks out the door, until she walks out, I can't stop staring at her,
She went out with one of her colleagues, holding a paper bag, and in the other hand the jacket that she was wearing, leaving her arms bare. She was talking to that colleague and laughing, then she came in front of me without noticing me and waved to her friend goodbye, she got into her environmentally friendly car (I can't believe she still believes in this shit). She moved her car and I carefully moved my car behind her,
After about twenty-five minutes of tracking, she stopped her car in the carpark for the residents, and I stopped watching her near one of the buildings, when she entered I saw her from behind the glass waiting for the elevator.
As soon as she got into the elevator, I entered the building and started looking at the numbers to know what floor she lives in, she stopped at number eight, I quickly got out of the building and got into my car, before I moved, I noticed a red head stopping his car outside.
he's the spud stuffer ! he's improved a lot from the last time I saw him, big muscles, iron body, strong athletic shape, he benefited from joining the police department for sure, hey, there is a gun on his waist too, how I wish to kill him with this gun,
After he entered the building and went to the elevator, I followed him to see which floor he will stop in. It's the eighth floor, as I expected. So they live together, as she told me.
When I moved my car from that place, it was about six o'clock. There is still a large amount of work and emails to accomplish in the company. But I withdrew to go home and start making my new plan. Why? Because I have new goals and new victims.
