Chapter 8: HIS DOUBTS TOWARDS HER
Leonard came out to the house with a burning sensation on his stomach. He had not eaten anything yet, but he had to walk away from her.
When he came out of his door, his bodyguards immediately bow their heads over their master to greet him. As if they were worshiping him like a God as they ready his car.
He walks towards his car with a poker face as he adjusted his executive attire which suits his muscular physique. While his secretary Miss Lalaine Trinidad was waiting in his car with the door already opened for him.
"Good morning, sir," his secretary greeted him as she bows her head to him, that you can almost see her entire chest as she was wearing a low-cut V-neck blouse.
His expression has no changes at all, but he nodded to her as he hurriedly got into his black SUV car. As he got into the car, he rests his right hand on the headrest of the seat. His head still hurt from alcohol. He massages his forehead as he laid his head on the chair in the car.
He continues to massage his forehead until the pain will slowly fade away. When suddenly his hated gentle face, wife crossed his mind again. He tried to erase it from his mind.
"Sir, we have already arrived," his secretary reminded him. "Oh, okay, thanks," he responded to her while one of his bodyguards opened the door for him.
He got out of his car, and he adjusted the edge of his coat again. Then he continued to walk into his company surrounded by bodyguards.
All the employees who could meet him bow their heads as they clear their way to let him pass by.
At work, he is well known to be strict and intimidating. He hates people who are insincere in his job, and he also hates delays.
He wants you to finish it before the deadline and meet his standard if he lets you do something. In short, he hates an unprofessional person.
He finally arrived at his office, his secretary opened the door for him, and he entered immediately. At the same time, his bodyguards looked around in all directions to ensure his safety. When the area is secure, they all went down.
Leonard has many enemies because of his business acumen.
He has a self-righteous attitude, and he had no concern even if it will cost massive destruction to others, as long as he will benefit from it, and because of that, many companies have been trampled on and closed down.
As he was sitting in his chair, he thought about what he was going to do next. When suddenly many questions poop out unto his mind regarding the woman he married, so to answer his questions, he thought of investigating it further. He wants to know what its hidden stench is and what her motive is. Like, why did she agree to marry him even though they have never met yet, and is it true that she doesn't know him? Or maybe she just acting and pretending to be naive? So he immediately called his secretary for commands. "Miss Trinidad, please, comes inside," Miss Trinidad quickly approaches him. "Anything I could do to you, sir?" she asked.
He handed her the brown envelop and ordered her. "Please give it to Joey and tell him to investigate every detail of the woman in the picture."
"Okay, sir, I will do it right away," his secretary said.
"And one more thing, please buy me food for breakfast and a pain reliever for my stomachache." He added.
"Okay, sir, copy," she said. Then his secretary went out to his office to do what he commanded.
When his secretary left, his phone rang, "Ring, ring, ring...!"
He looked at his cellphone to find out who had called when his face wrinkled. The one who called him was his grandpa. The truth was, he doesn't want to talk to him because he forced him to marry the woman Leonard didn't know, but Leonard had no choice but to answer its call because if he won't, it will blackmail him again.
He answered the phone pretended that he was glad that his grandpa thought to call him. "Hello grandpa, how are you? I'm so happy that you call me."
His grandpa didn't believe him. He knows that his grandson was pretending so, he frankly told him, "Stop pretending that you're glad I called because I know you're not, but I'm still hoping that someday you will understand my decisions, and anyway, how is Alyssa? Did you treat her well?"
He was annoyed with his grandfather's question. So, that is why the more he got enraged with his wife. Leonard had even more curious about her wife. Leonard wondered what his wife had done to his grandfather. Why does he worry too much about her? That he, as his grandson, didn't even ask if he was okay. But it was as if a thorn had pulled to him when his grandpa said, "How are you? Have you adjusted? You might think that I'm not worried about you but you if you only knew how much I love both of you so much. You and your brothers are everything to me and the only heir I have."
His feelings against his grandfather seemed to have ease. He knew that his grandfather loves them very much. He was just carried away by his emotion. That is why he got upset.
He was aware that his grandfather was, hurt because of his action towards him, and so to as not to hurt his grandpa's feelings, he will grant his request. He knew that it would ask for a favor; that's why it called. Grandpa, why did you call anything you want?" he asked him directly.
"Ahm, the truth is I wanted to know if the two of you would spare time to visit me here in my old mansion?" his grandpa asked.
He already knew who it meant, so he answered it right away.
"Okay, we will, grandpa, just set a schedule for us to come." "Tomorrow, visit me here. File a leave of absence for me." His grandpa commanded him.
He was stuck with what it said that he wanted them to visit tomorrow, together with his wife, because Leonard didn't know how to approach her. Especially that, he hurt her feelings but, he still agreed. "Okay, grandpa, I'll tell her."
His grandfather was thrilled because he granted his request. "I know you won't disappoint me, my grandson. Thank you so much, and take care." His grandpa told him.
Then it hangs up the call.
