Chapter 10: Chapter 10
The night is almost gone, they didn't sleep, they just work all through the early mornings, when it's six, Gregory and Craig, had already dress up to go meet with an investor, Whitney walk in on them.
Are you going out? Yes, we have an investor to meet this morning, there is food at the dining.
I can't stay alone in this place. Don't worry, there are security down outside and Mr Beck, will be checking on you for time to time.
I will go with you.
But...
It will not take long I will be out. Gregory haven't replied her, she hurry inside, Craig look at Gregory, they want to leave before she comes out.
I am out already, I am fast right? Gregory nodded, she rush into the kitchen, she just get some pack. Let me pack the food so you can eat on our way. They both watch as she pack the food in a hurry. Shall we?
Let me help you carry it. Whitney was surprised when Craig offer to help her, she is a bit scared of Craig but he looks simple. Thank you. Ian drive the car, as they drive they eat.
Thank you, Whitney. Craig said, he didn't eat last night, he didn't know that food can be pack and eaten in the car. You welcome handsome, this naughty boy here, didn't even tell me thank you. She pulled Gregory's ear.
Come on, you're calling me naughty? What are you? She fold her hand across her chest. Craig! Is your cousin not naughty? The boss is...
Craig!
Why do you keep calling him boss?
Thanks for the food. He change the topic. You really are sweet and nice. Whitney said
I am not, You don't know how hungry I am, I never knew food can be pack and eaten in a car. Gregory smile at his cousin behavior, he doesn't talk much to women but he is talking to Whitney.
Since I made your day, then call me princess.
Your owner will call you that.
Owner? Whitney asked Craig, Gregory hit his head, he knows Craig was going to say rubbish
Oh! What I mean is... The car stop at Co & son enterprises. We are here, let's go. Craig alight in a hurry, to avoid answering the questions, the three walked into the company, it's a massive building, her mouth gap open, she had never been inside such a company, all the female where drooling over Gregory and Craig, Gregory walked to the receptionist.
Good morning sir, the CEO is on sit now, and he is waiting for you. She said trying so hard to be professional, she is really lost in his handsomeness.
Alright, I will want my friend to wait here, till we return. Sure, ma you can sit.
Whitney, you will have to wait for me here, we be back in no time. Alright, I go on now. Gregory and Craig walk into CEO Joe office.
Welcome sir Gregory and sir Craig. They shakes hand. Thanks, CEO Joe. Gregory said and sit but Craig says nothing, he press the button for the secretary to get them coffee, in no time the coffee is before them
I hope you have gone through the proposal I sent on behalf of the company? Sure, I have gone through it, you need financial assistance to get the shipping of your steels.
Yes, we can also supply your materials if you are in need of any at a cheaper rate. Sure, it's there but the percentage is small.
I thought we were fair enough thirty seventy. No, it's too small, we are giving you our company name apart from the financial support, the company supplying the steels thinks they are dealing with us directly, so if there is any fraud, they will sued us and not you, so we should be fair if we go for forty five fifty five, not sounding greedy right?
Sir that is much, let's make it forty sixty? Gregory look at Craig who hasn't say a word during the transection, he nodded at him.
Fine then, it's a deal. He sighed the documents. Nice doing business with you. Thanks so much sir CEO and Sir...
It's fine. Craig cut him to avoid adding sir to his name, they both dash out, reaching the reception, Whitney is not there.
Where is she? Boss, slow down, you should ask the receptionist
oh! Sir, your friend will be back in no time, she said she wants to check our law firm here.
Law firm? Gregory asked in surprised, the receptionist nodded, Craig tap his back, let's wait over there then. It's not up to five minutes they are waiting for Whitney, a young lady in her early twenties walked into the reception.
Good morning ma. Peace ignore her and walked to Gregory and Craig, Whitney was coming out but he saw the woman talking to them.
Hi! I am Peace and you are? Gregory Jeremy. CEO Gregory of Mega multi aviation Empire Intl. Gregory just smile. My dad is the CEO of this company. Interesting, I didn't know CEO Joe had such a daughter.
Yes, I am his only child. She turned to Craig who is busy on his phone. And you are?
Craig, his driver. Gregory wanted to laughed but he held himself. But you don't look like one. The boss made me dress this way to avoid embarrassment. He said that to make her disappeared but that is not working, Gregory feel so good not to be the center of attraction
Can I have you number? His eyes bulge out, he look at Gregory to help him; his attitude is different, Whitney knows that Craig is not comfortable with it, she walked to them.
Hey love!
Ma Whitney! Whitney hit his chest slightly. I have told you to stop call me that in public, we don't have to pretend that we are not dating. As she takes his hand, Peace disappeared in anger, Craig gasp for air, the three walked into the car.
Thank you, that girl is really a pest, if you haven't come here, I wouldn't know how to handle it and this Boss of mine refused to help.
Craig!
Cousin...
I know why he calls you that, CEO Gregory of Mega multi aviation Empire Intl. Gregory look at Craig, he open his mouth to talk.
Don't look at him, he did nothing, the receptionist in that company couldn't stop talking about you, is a good thing I didn't say you are my best friend because I know nothing about you, she even asked for your number.
Did you give it to her? They both yelled at same time. No, if I did is not bad she is in love with you.
That isn't love it's swoon. Craig said and she looks at him. Don't you believe in love at first sight? Whitney asked Craig.
Love? Do I know? Gregory laughed, he knows his cousin doesn't know anything about love but Gregory is convinced that Craig love Cathy but he doesn't know.
You should leave this naughty cousin of mine.
Craig, so you feel what Peace felt for you is not love?
Of cause, she is such a flirt, thanks once more for saving me, I thought this boss of mine will save me.
You should know he is not ready to save you, you needed to see the look on her face when I call you love. Craig chuckled.
