Chapter 30
Dilemma
It has been the busiest day of his life. Ron Weasley stared at his wrist watch and wished he was on bed, snoring the time away. He figured that's just what he needed. Sleep.
But then, being a great corporate seller, he wouldn't do that. He couldn't. He had to ride his empire until the day he lost every grand he had.
And that thought apparently sucks. This is what he wanted anyway.
Ten more minutes, he thought. Then this meeting would be over.
"Since the merger plan is agreed, we would like to clarify that our corporate owner would want to precede this by next week, and be done with it by this month."
Ron stared at the tight tied assistant of his mysterious dealer. He wondered how he walks around with that tie of his. Could he even breathe with that?
"May I suggest," Ron started. He couldn't stand dealing with an anonymous dealer. "I would like it very much to meet him and have some coffee, perhaps." All he knew about this dealer was that he owned all kinds of electronic companies and incorporations. Obviously, he was filthy rich and powerful. And he goes with the pen name David Milgates. It's such a lame joke, partly imitating the name of the famous Billgates. But then he need not worry about that. He deals fairly and has good financial sources. No problem with that. Only the part where you introduce yourselves and shake hands were missing. It's just making him feel disconcerted.
The weird assistant stared at him like he was a ghost. Ron just stared back.
"No body ever questioned the presence of Sir Milgates before."
Ron smiled his oh so wise smile. "Well, this would be the first. He shouldn't deal his work like this, hanging by their assistants."
The pitiful assistant kept on gaping. "Well," he couldn't decide. "I would confirm with him the moment we contact again. I would announce his reply, if possible, tonight."
Whatever suits you. He thought. He just wanted to get over this.
Waking up from an afternoon nap, Hermione fumbled herself from her scoop chair, hearing the shrieking phone,and jerked the phone on her ear. She muttered a soft greeting and found Ron on the other line.
"You drunk or something?" Ron asked, hearing her slurred voice.
"I'm not drunk, Ronald." Ron winced at that. Perhaps he called at the wrong minute.
"Okay, okay." Ron sighed. He felt so tired. "I just called to ask about the party."
"Party?"
"Relina's party, if you have forgotten?"
Hermione slapped her brow with her palm. She had forgotten. "Bloody hell. I haven't bought any gift yet!" She slumped herself back on her chair, frowning. "What kind of an aunt am I?"
Ron frowned. Something was bothering her. "Herm, I know it's your first time to be an aunt to a kid, but heck, take it easy."
She sighed angrily. "I fell asleep on my table again. And now my neck hurts." She had been working on her reports and files of her recent patients. She must've fallen asleep working on it all night the night before.
Ron chuckled at that. "Well, everyone's busy I guess. But we shall not ruin the child's happiness, aye?"
Hermione furrowed her brows. "Aye? Trying something new Ron?"
Ron grinned. He was trying on an accent for his big meeting with Mr. David Milgates. The David Milgates. "I'll have a meeting later with David Milgates." He proudly deduced.
Hermione's eyes grew wide. "David Milgates? You mean the kick ass rich kid from E-man kingdom?"
"Yeah." Ron sighed contentedly. "The owner of the electronics empire. I can't wait to meet him tonight."
"Tonight?" She wasn't excited now. "What about the party?"
"That's what I called you about."
Hermione crossed her arms across her chest. The party should be perfect. "We need you there, Ron."
He sighed, tiredly this time. "I know. I'll just send in my gift there and try to catch up or something."
"Catch up?" She shook her head. "We all promised to be there."
"I'll be there. Don't worry." He assured.
Hermione just paused for a while, as if thinking. "Alright. But if I don't find you there, you'll be dead."
He smirked. "Yeah. Sure."
"Alright, see you then."
"Yeah. See you."
Hermione dropped the phone and stood up to change up.
She's going to buy a present for Relina. Maybe a doll would do. She thought. She wasn't great in choosing gifts and all that. It was something she hadn't studied hard enough.
Ron stared blankly out of the window of his limousine as his driver drove him to a five star hotel, the venue of his meeting with David Milgates. But then, he didn't feel that excited about it already. He just felt tired. After years of hard work, he had finally reached the point of his life that he had long dreamed of.
But then, it didn't feel right. He just felt tired.
Perhaps he needed a vacation.
Feeling the limousine stop by a curb, he snapped himself out of his trance and put on his business expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes and straightened his suit, and he was set to go.
He is meeting Mr. David Milgates.
He was staring out of the window, watching the scenery of the city grew out of the night. He had just arrived on the city, after finishing a major project in Canada. It had been tiring, but he was quick about it. He just toured the world for a few more months and finally flew back into the city. He was David Milgates anyway.
Such a pathetic name.
He sighed and straightened up his tie, hearing the two knocks on his door. His guest has arrived.
"Sir, Mr. Weasley is here." His assistant announced.
He waited for a full beat before he answered. "Come in."
He didn't know if he was ready with what he was doing.
A/n: ü Yeah, I KNOW. It is a pathetic name.ü
Couldn't think of anything better.
