Their End, My Beginning novel Chapter 28

*Ryder’s POV

When I woke up after dozing off again, I looked at the time and noticed I was one hour late, which was unusual, I always got into my office at 8 as my employees come by 8:30. Now it is 9 and I am still on my bed with an enormous headache causing me to have shitty morning.

And thus, I was in the mood of snapping at anything or anyone. I got ready wearing a black suit like usual and got into my black Rolls Royce; I had the mood of having everything in black and got to the underground parking of my company and went in the lift typed the code and it took me straight to my floor with a voice saying welcome sir, which by the way I shouted at. Though I knew it was not human and was only an inbuilt voice, I shouted to shut up. Like I said, I was having the mood of snapping at everything until I saw her. My love.

She too was in black. Maybe she knew of my mood. Internally chucking I went into my office and my secretary came in informing my schedule and informing me of my meeting with Miss. Lisa Carvens. Which made me almost scowl but kept an impassive look on my face and dismissed Raven Cooper, my assistant.

There is 1 hour before my meeting with Carvens, meaning I have that much time to relax for that dreadful meeting. Ever since that meeting with Kat at Simiona, I felt like my old self in the aspect of women. Earlier I used to dread meeting any women thinking that Kat would be uncomfortable, it’s not that she doesn’t trust me but she doesn’t trust other women, she hates other woman touching, touching meaning not the friendly touch but the touch that says I-want-you.

But now the dread is same, but it is not just over the fact that she hates it but the thought of seeing that disappointment in her eyes because I am 100 percent sure that she doesn’t trust me anymore. And I have had meetings with Carvens before, and all of them have ended with sex. That is how I get most of my deals. Women can’t just ignore my charms. Using my charms, I manipulate them to get the deals. I have never regretted it, well not until meeting Kat.

As I was leaning on my chair with my eyes closed and thinking things through, I heard a knock which made me open my eyes and sit straight. Cooper comes in with Carvens, the latter wearing a red slutty dress which shows everything of hers leaving nothing to imagine. Cooper and Carvens look like sisters right now with the way they wore their dresses trying to get my attention little did they know my full attention is on my kitten who is sitting in her office which is just separated by a glass wall.

And from the way, I mention them using their last names simply means that they are my least favourite people. If I call people by their last name, it means I don’t like them very much.

“Miss. Carvens, welcome. Come in. Take a seat. To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you in my office.” I ask with my usual business smile on my face.

“Ryder, we have known each other in ways others haven’t so please call me Lisa.” She says with that disgusting look in her eyes. If she thinks that she is seducing me, she is very wrong.

“Okay Carvens.” I say and internally smirk seeing her face fell and covering it with an eye roll.
