Chapter 79: Chapter 79

Kàthleen went downstairs the next morning for breakfast to see only Dave seated on the table, she immediately turned to go back in but before she could take two steps, he was fast to go round the table and stood in front of her, blocking her exit.

"Get out of my way" she gritted

"Or else what? He smirked taking two steps towards her and she unconsciously moved backward, he kept coming on to her and she kept moving until her back touched the table, "what the hell do you think you're doing Dave?

"What does it seem like?" He asked bringing his head closer to her, she placed her palms on his chest and pushed, fuming in anger, she docks and slide out from beneath him and had almost made her escape but his hand quickly snaked out and dragged her back, forcefully placing his lips on hers, Kathleen bit down on it so hard that she drew blood, he yelped in pain as he pushed her away, Kathleen spat out the blood, heaving furiously and she stared at him through narrowed eyes, "don't you ever do such again" she gritted before turning on her heels to walk away, she paused for a moment when she noticed Tasha, standing close to the stairs and staring at them, her eyes met Kathleen's, hers filled with anger and hatred, without a word to her, Kathleen went upstairs, she would do well to stay clear of those two until Derek comes back

Derek has was eager as he drove to see Mr. Fenji, he was the client that brought him to this country, he had to quickly settle matters with him so he could go back to Kathleen, so he had called for a meeting with him as soon as he got here but Mr. Fenji had seemed to be busy and had decided to discuss with Derek over lunch, if everything went as planned, perhaps he would go home to Kathleen earlier than expected, he missed her so much already. He got to the meeting place and saw Mr. Fenji already seated, he came right on time, Mr. Fenji has the reputation of always being punctual and Derek was impressed as he shook hands with him, he noticed Mr. Fenji wasn't alone, he was with a beautiful young lady who was seated observing him keenly and Derek stared at her with interest wondering why Mr. Fenji would bring her to their business meeting, although it was lunch but still, a business lunch.

Mr. Fenji must have noticed the direction of his gaze because he smiled as he quickly introduce them, "ah! This is my only daughter, her name is Marietta, today was supposed to be her day as I was supposed to have lunch with her but since you insisted on a meeting, I decided to have lunch with her at the same time discuss business with you, I hope you don't mind" Mr. Fenji explained

"It's alright" Derek took a seat, he was seated directly opposite Marietta, who had never taken her eyes off him, her expression seems like she wants to devour him right there, Derek promptly avoided her gaze and her subtle come hither smile as he discussed with her father.

"I hope you didn't have a hard time locating this venue," Mr. Fenji asked with a smile and Derek shook his head, "not at all, although, this is my second time in your country, it seems like I've always been here"

Mr. Fenji raised a brow, "I'm glad you find my country easy and familiar, where are you lodged? I will be privileged to have you in one of my suites"

"I'm at the continental suite and I greatly enjoyed the view there but I'll be sure to take you up on your offer next time I visit"

Mr. Fenji nodded, "Fair enough, so are we to discuss business before our lunch?"

Derek nodded his approval, " I believe it should be business before pleasure"

Mr. Fenji seemed impressed by his answer, "I like the way you think, alright then, let's deal this deal"

They discussed business for over an hour before signing the deal and then proceeded to have lunch, Derek was glad the way everything went, it simply means he could be with Kathleen sooner than expected and as for the lady in front of him who was all but popping out her breast from her clothes, he carefully avoided her gaze, he felt a toe trailing his leg and he knew that was it, he does not want to offend Mr. Fenji nor his daughter, so instead, he stood up with the excuse that he had somewhere to be and left father and daughter to their lunch.

Derek has booked his flight and it was scheduled for the next day, he wished he had already boarded a flight back home but the weather forecast was Stormy and it was not advisable to take the flight that day, so he had grudgingly consented to leave the next day, he was about to enter his suite when someone bumped into him from behind and he fell inside with a body on top of him, he quickly rolled up to see who has bumped into him and was shocked when he saw Marietta.

"What are you doing here?"

She stood up, straightening her clothes as she walked up to him, putting her heavy bosom on his chest, "can't you see I fancied you?" She purred, "why did you leave the lunch

"Derek held her softly but firmly and put her away from him, "how did you know I was here?"

"I heard you mentioned the continental suite, so I just came here and waited for my chance"

"Do your father know you're here"

She pouted at his question, "oh come on, I'm not a daddy's girl, I can make my own decision"

"I'm afraid you came for a failed mission as I would have to ask you to leave"

Marietta grabbed him and forced a kiss on him, Derek broke out of her grip and pushed her away, she was acting like a crazed as she quickly unbuttoned her clothes, "I want you, please, don't think I'll shackle you into a relationship, I'm okay if it is a one night stand, I was so attracted to you the moment I saw you"

Derek held her hands to stop her from unbuttoning the rest of the button, "look, you're a very beautiful woman and any man will be so happy to have you"

She looked at him with large brown eyes, "but you don't seem happy and I want you"

"I'm sorry Marietta but the only person I desire right now is my wife"

"Even when she's not here? Why don't you take what's available? I am available for you" she tried her shots at him again but Derek refuted by the shake of his head, "I will have to ask you to please leave"

Anger slowly burned in her eyes, "well, if you change your mind, I've lodged Into one of the rooms here, just come to room 1206" she walked away from him and Derek was able to breathe, "thank you for your understanding" he whispered to her and she shrugged as she buttoned up, "your wife is one hell of a lucky woman" she whispered before walking out and shutting the door firmly behind her.
