Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 816 - Big Boss Part 1

 He could finally run around the mansion for ten laps. However, cameras and securities are around and there's no way for him to even escape. Everything he needed was in the mansion and he could always 'add to cart' ladies. It's not like he's interested but it's crazy to even buy ladies by just tapping.

 Jacob did that programming and the prostitutes that they sell for a night are part of the business. And every man can fuck a girl for their break. There's no privacy or anything at all. He kept running every day and he focused well on the security parameter and all. But the only thing that he could do to escape is to die. Unless they burn his body.

"Jacob always has his eyes on you," Claus said as he jogged with him.

"Nah, I'm not interested in him. He already had Ilya."

"You know what I mean."

"He always has eyes around and even a bug on you."

"I know. I tried hard to remove it but it seemed like we are forever under his control." Claus said. "Anyway, it's not like we are going to spend our days traveling around. We are forever stuck in here."

"Maybe not until we die?" Christian joked and he caught his breath. They stop running.

"Why are you always working out? Lifting and tai-chi, then running."

"There's no fun to do except on watching television or playing games."

"How about sex?" Claus asked with a grin.

"Nah!" he shook his head. "My girlfriend cursed my lower part. It can only get aroused around her."

"Are you serious?" Claus frowned and couldn't believe that he said it seriously.

"Yes." He nodded. "It means that I love her so much. Even though I would look at someone else, nothing will happen between me and that girl."

"You love her so much," Claus said.

"Yes," Christian said.

"But isn't she dead?" Claus said. Christian's face darkened.

"I would like to think that she's not," Christian said. "Besides, if she's dead. Then I'm better off dead too. But I was hoping that she's alive and maybe think that it was all lies. At least that would keep me up all day." Christian said as he ran off.

 Claus felt sorry for Christian. He's sure that Demi is dead and she's on that explosion. The media said so. Unless it was a show. But when Jacob told someone to check it, the photos and the funeral for the two heiresses were there too. He followed Christian.

 After the run, he cooled down and went to his room. He takes a long warm shower to relax his muscles as he faces the mirror in front of his shower. He missed Demetria so much and he knew that she's alive. But he couldn't even call her. The only thing he needed to do is to find it as soon as possible. Put the chip there and everything will be accessed by Aria and Asher.

 They looked at their president in hesitation but he's the big boss. They canceled the two and sent notices. It takes at least two to three days. After a few discussions, he's off to an appointment meeting with Gilbert. He had an idea of who the CEO of that company was. The one who is always laughing at him.

 He took his coat on. He took his phone with him as he went to the foyer. He always kept a low profile but bodyguards are just around. At the entrance, Ricky is there with Kate as they talk to someone. Probably a client. Ricky smiled at him.

"Hey, Nate!" he called out. Nate only glanced at him but Ricky approached him. "Come here. I think this one will help you with your expenses." Ricky is still looking down at him as always. He thought that he just rented the supercar that he owns. Ricky grabbed Nate's arm as he took her to the person that seemed to be in networking or something. It's office hour and why are they doing it in the company.

 His assistant cleared his throat and stopped Ricky.

"Put your hands away from the president." His assistant Mr. Lewis said in a low and dangerous voice.

 Ricky was taken aback and Nate grabbed his arm from him.

"You know what to do, Lewis," Nate said, waving him off. Lewis nodded and followed him outside as his car was waiting. Mr. Lewis opened the door for him at the back. Nate entered and Mr. Lewis sat on the front seat. Nate put his shades on as one of the managers pulled Ricky probably telling him that it's not right to underestimate him. Or telling him who's the big boss of the company. He'll make their life miserable by talking bad things about his wife.

 The meeting is on the yacht Gilbert's. They went to the harbor and with two bodyguards and Mr. Lewis had the briefcase. Mr. Oliver Gilbert wanted to be a partner with Dragon Distilled and Beverages. The Dragon Empire mostly sell distilled waters in a glass bottle and wines and beers. The Gilbert Company owns yachts, Cruises, and a few bars. It'll be great but it's not worth it when they include drugs.

 He just wanted to see Oliver on what he's doing. The narcissistic maniac who likes playing on girls and forcing others. However, he did not go there to have negotiations instead, he sent his assistant. He didn't want to stay there with other girls who are partying there instead of business. He's disappointed. Rather than going to the yacht, he gave Lewis thirty minutes to do the business and he went off for shopping. His wife is working hard alone in the house and taking care of their baby Cesar.

 He bought clothes and shades for Cesar and he bought her a new dress and a new apron. His phone beeps which indicates that Mr. Lewis is indeed done. He had the record of their conversation which he secretly put in Mr. Lewis's coat. He will make it hard for Gilbert's to meet him.

 He went to the car and told them that they need to leave. He had a few more appointments. His phone rang as they were on their way to the office.

"Hi, Dad!" He greeted cheerily.

"Hey, son. How's work?"

"It's good, so far. I heard that there's a typhoon to the main city?"

"Yes, it's not that strong but we ready the reliefs and other donations. And Natalia is with Ashton somewhere in the mountains. I heard that the typhoon will landfall next to that area."

 He creased his brows.

"Wait, is that area safe?"

"I think. Ashton just called and said that Natalia is safe with him. So, I trust the guy since he's been serving us for years."

"Yeah, I trust him but never thought that he'd date Natalia."

"Well, surprise! I rather vote for Ashton than the doctor who asked for her hand."

"Oh, arranged marriage?"

"Yes, he asked like it's a business proposal or something. I dislike how he asked such a thing."

"Good thing that you didn't~~you know."

"Of course not. Your mom is going to kill me." James whispered. Nate snickered.

"How are mom and Quin?"

"They are fine. Doing lots of mother and daughter bonding since Natalia is away. How about you? How's Kelsie?"

"She's home baking and cooking and other stuff. She earned money through blogging."

"Oh, okay. Don't you want to have kids?"

"I'll discuss it with her first. Fanny isn't with her. So, I think I have to put someone to accompany her."

"Your grandparents are asking me to force you to have babies," James said which makes him laugh.

"They'll have grandchildren soon."

"You need to be here for Christmas vacation. Just take your work with you."

"I will. Surely," He promised.

"And Kale will get married next year. I think on the second of January."

"Wow, great. Big weddings."

"Not big. They want to keep it low. Anyway, say hi to Kelsie for me."

"Sure, I will."

"Bye. Love you."

"Bye." Nate hung up, and he told Mr. Lewis to start talking.

"He asked why you are canceling it again, sir?"

"I don't like parties. So, if he wanted me to invest, he needed to stop showing off a party yacht."

"Yes, sir."

"Don't call him. Let him call you."

"I will, sir." Mr. Lewis said. "But you are losing a lot of investments."

"Their investment will be very useless when the time comes," Nate said calmly as he called his wife. In a few rings, she answered.

"Hi, hubby!" She greeted cheerily as always.

"How are you doing?"

"I make some ice cream. It's a lot of process, but it's almost done."

"Oh, I can't wait to go home."

"You will have the whole of it."

"I'm not gonna share it."

 Kelsie laughed.

"How about me?"

"I'll let you have a slice then."

"You are a hungry monster."

"I am. Oh, by the way, Dad calls, and he says hi."

"Well, you know what to do. When we get there for Christmas, we'll have to bake lots of sweets, and I'll fill you up with it."

"Thank you, love. This is only a short call. I have other appointments."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too." He hung up. "What's my next appointment?"
