Chapter 27: Chapter 27
“I need something out of the four corners of this building, I'm suffocating. I think creating our bureaus out of this building is better!. I'm sick and tired of staying in here!.” Freddy restlessly walks around the table thinking aloud with Olivia in his room.
His restlessness boozers her off.
“Sir, we have less than 8 months in this town and it will be a wastage renting bureaus for this short period meanwhile we already have the entirety floor of this building just for us!.” Olivia tries to calm him with what she thinks makes sense.
“I think this is actually the problem!. We are too far away from actions, from the people. Aren't you bored in here?.” he strolls near bending his head to her like he is going to smooch her.
Then he immediately gets up without even realising what he did meanwhile Olivia is still dazzled, fortunately, she’s a smart girl and she quickly gets over it.
“Money isn't a problem and you know it!. We been here for more than two weeks and all we do is to seat in, work, eat, sleep and I'm sick and tired of all this.” he adds recklessly loiters around making Olivia sick.
“Sir! you can seat and we discuss calmly!.” she tries to get him steady in vain. “Thanks but I'm fine!.” he keeps loitering. She narrowly scowls but he doesn't notice it.
“This is what you will do for me; rent some bureaus in a big and active district, take a floor or two of at least 5 offices, register me in the best and most expensive gym with the most beautiful girls, not too far from this hotel...” he lists with a conny smile on his face because women are his best distraction.
While the workload simply makes Olivia, sicker.
“I need my car!. I told Carol to expedite my car as soon as I left the metropolis but she has done nothing, call her and find out what is going on. Rent me a car for the main time I'm tire of using their duty car which is not even up to my standard... And add whatever you find necessary in the list.” he pauses for some seconds, thoughtfully “It's all for now!.” then he concludes.
“Please, sir, with all due respect it's not my job to do all this!. I have a lot of work to cover up and I seriously don't have the time to walk for all this.” Olivia utters in a respectful tone. Her, voice fades away all the smile on his face and he gets bitter.
“Oh, if it's so, then find me a secretary, and make sure you explain all this to her because I won't repeat myself again!.” he severely retorts.
She notices the bitterness in his voice yet this doesn't scare her that much all she wants is to be freed.
“Thank you, sir!.” she immediately gets up from where she is perched then she bends in deference and turns on to leave Freddy’s room.
“I need my secretary latest tomorrow morning!.” he bitterly instructs. She instantly turns to him in dismay “Sir, it's 5 pm already how will I manage to find a secretary in this short period of time, considering the facts that I'm not used to this town!.” she cries.
“Your problem! You Fix it!” he carelessly exclaims waving her out at the same time. She angrily leaves without saying a word.
“What a boring day!” Freddy cries as he strolls out of his room. As soon as he step out of the room he glimpses falls on the owner of the hotel, (that's is Natasha’s) who is getting out of the lifter with his glance fixed on his phone walking towards Freddy.
Freddy Immediately turn to get back into his room like he didn't notice his presence .
“Mr. Freddy!.” he yells rapidly placing his phone in his coat before Freddy can step his leg back in. Freddy reluctantly pauses at the sound of his voice. He turns and waits for him to get closer.
“Luckily I found you, Mr Freddy, I'm here to discuss with you about what we spoke earlier in the morning before the girls interrupted us and you left without giving an answer!.” he fakes a heavy smile at Freddy.
“What was the discussion about.” he carelessly retort with his eyes fixed down on his phone clearly showing no interest in the discussion. Or perhaps he doesn't actually remember. Anyway, this angers Natasha’s dad yet he keeps on with his smile to please Freddy.
“Its about my birthday party. I will be honoured to have you as a guest of honour! it's tomorrow evening.” he keeps smiling.
“I really appreciate your offer but sorry, I won't have time tomorrow!.” he carelessly retorts.
“You won't stay for long!. Please rethink it!.” he insisting.
“I will think about it, then!” Freddy responds only to kick him off his ass.
“Thats great! thank you, sir.” “Yea!” Freddy nods.
Then Natasha’s dad leaves. He starts frowning as soon as he turned, discreetly clenching his fist in wrath, not appreciating Freddy's ludicrous behaviour.
Freddy watch him leave, then he walks out of the hotel. He wants to stroll around town with a duty car from the hotel and a driver still from the hotel.

~ ~ Sheila’s POV ~ ~
“How is Luther!.” I tease Natasha.
She's perched by me and we are in a nice glamorous club having some drinks and snacks which we could have freely dined at her father's restaurant, but no! she didn't want. She practical pulled me in here after our little shopping.
“He’s fine!” she grimace because she knows I'm just teasing her, “he's been calling, thou!” she cries. “That's great then!” I nod. “No! I haven't picked any of his calls!” she continues to cry.
“I don't get you. Why aren't you pick his calls? isn't what you wanted?” I wonder aloud. “I don't know!” she keeps whimpering “I desire him so badly and at the same time something is shoving me away. I guess, I'm still unable to forgive him for what he did!. OMG, Sheila!.” she whimpers.
“Hey, it's fine! and it's normal you feel bad. He cheated on you with your best friend. You don't have to force yourself to forgive him, anyway not now, give your self some time.”
“My ex- best friend! and you are right Sheila!.” she leans on my shoulders. Then she pours several glasses of whiskey and drinking them in a gulp.
She looks up at me...
“Lets forget about our problems and have fun. Let's celebrate this new best friendship!.” Natasha lifts her glass for a toast.
“Yes, baby girl, we toast to life!.” I scream and we drink our shorts in a gulp, twisting our faces to its weird taste before swallowing.

• • Freddy POV • •
“Sir this is the biggest club in town!.” the driver stops in front of a club. He has been driving me around the town. “Good!.” I exclaim.
“Yes, yes sir! Indeed sir! here you will find all the sexy girls of this town!. Unfortunately for me, I can't afford a drink in this place!.” he happily speaks, he’s an extrovert...
“Interesting!.” I smile at his mention of beautiful ladies because that is what I need right now. All that he says after the ‘beautiful girls’ I didn't heard. My eyes are fixed on the well-designed building with lots of delusions.
“I think I will stop here and have some drinks before we leave.”
“Sir, I stop work at 8 pm and soon it will be 8 pm so another driver will take over!.” he explains more like his imploring. “Whatever! all I need is a driver at my disposal!”
“I need to discuss with the manager of this club!. So how do I get to see him?.” I asked. “Okay, sir!” the driver immediately steps out of the car.
“Hey, you! You! Yes, you! my boss wanna talk to yours!” he recklessly calling for the attention of the guards standing by the entrance door. These men are damn thick and huge.
One bypasses him and moves straight to the car.
I press the button by the side of the car, lowering the window. “I want to see the manager of this club.” I instruct the huge strong-looking man.
“The manager is busy now, but I can help you, we have special sectors for guess like you.” he boldly restored with his chest right up. “Okay, I want to see the manager of this club!.” I repeat. He still hesitates.
“Hey, I guess you don't want to lose your job, so do what I say!. Thou, you are free not to do it, but with or without you I will get to the manager, and trust me I won't fail to tell him about you offend towards me, Paul!” I bitterly read the name on his left chest pocket.
“One minute!.” he leaves immediately without saying a word. He moves back to the entrance then he stops and whispers in another guard's ear with that he goes in.
I keep staring at my wrist watch. A few minutes later, he walks out moving straight to me.
“The manger is ready to receive you.” he immediately opens the car door and I step down. “This way sir.” we get into the club and he shows me to the manager's office.
As soon as I open the door leading to the manager’s office...
“Freddy.” the manager yells my name. “Out!” he waves the guard out. “Wow, Graham.” I'm stunned.
“OMG! it's been how long mehnn...” he gallops into my arm. His unexpected hug scampers me a few step back and this isn't funny for me.
“Always mean eh?!” he whispers pathing away from my arms. “Always spew!.” I murmur...
“So what brings you here?." he strolls back to his seat asking. “Business what else.” I take a seat, cross folding my legs, “I must admit, I'm surprised to see you.” I add.
“Haha, it's normal it been so long. You thought you were never going to me eh?” “Yeah!” I seriously nod and he laughs while I remain serious.
“The most wanted bachelor of the country is in my club tonight, wow!. I think I have something for you, something you will like.” walks to me, hit my shoulders then he pulls me out of the office with him.
We stroll till we reach the top lodges of the club with very sexy girl dancing with bikinis at the entrance of every lodge.
“The best VIP lodge of this club, not everyone has the privilege to come in this particular lodge. I reserve it for very special guesses like you.” he hit my shoulders and I hate when he does that and he’s fully aware of this. “Okay!” I scowl.
We stand staring down through the glasses.
“From here you have a complete view of the club and the best is that they can't see you from outside in but you can everything.” he laughs at his silly explanation because he knows every one knows that.
“It's a one-way glass. I get it.” I seriously nod as we both move to take seats.
“I know, I didn't just want to kill the fun as you just did. Anyway today you gonna have the best night of your life. I have all that you like! and trust me when I say all.” he smiles with a silly face.
“I know you hate crowded places but it's pointless driving everyone out of the club to remain alone. It's selfish and it won't be called a club again. So make sure your credit card thanks me for this private lodge.” then he adds while moving to the door.
“Good!” I seriously nod.
“Freddy, look at all those beautiful girls over there!” he points at the girls parading at the entrance with their stares fixed at us as if they can see us, eagerly waiting for permission to get in.
“Hey, you!” he opens the door and calls two girls.
“No Graham, I want to be alone… For now…” I flinch.
“Come on, Freddy! you’ve always wanted to be alone I'm used to that, but not this night, mehhn!...”
Before I can blink my eyes, Graham is already indicating, telling them “Girls!, make sure you take very good care of my special guess.”
“Of course Grammy!!!.” they sensually retort with their tiny seductive voices as they get in and fall on me like ants, Graham simply smiles while walking away.
He stop by the waiter and orders “Send our best and most expensive bottle of whiskey, champagne to that lodge number 1.” with that said, Graham walks down to greet the customers like he does every day before going to locking himself in his office.
