In a large meeting room, a man sat comfortably in his chair with a serious and cold face, staring at the others present.
Everyone shook under the gaze of killing him. His eyes did not blink once, there was no visible emotion on his face. Even though he was breathing, not a single muscle in his body was moving.
He looks like a real killer who, ready to kill anyone, anytime.
This room is completely deserted.
It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of needles falling.
His eyes were fixed on one particular man.
The man in his late forties was slightly trembling under his killing gaze. Sweat began to form on his forehead, he did not dare to wipe it off.
"Mr Lockwood, I will ask you one question and I will not repeat it.
„After one minute of silence, Alexander spoke again,
"Do you think I'm stupid?" The man shook his head, "T.not what are you asking for? You're not stupid.. Mr."
"Mr Lockwood, I know I don't. I'm asking for your opinion, so give me your answer. "
,Alexander replied with a voice that was considered frightening by the others present.
"No, you're not stupid, sir", replied Mr. Lockwood and held his breath. He knew his life was ruined and if it hadn't, it would have happened in a second or two.
"Then, how dare you try to sell my company information to another company?", asked Alexander, though angry, he did not show it.
He remained calm as he did not want the others present to panic.
"Sorry.I have no choice. My daughter is sick and I need money for her surgery.", Mr. Lockwood stuttered. Obviously, he's lying.
While everyone else in the room was feeling sad for her and her daughter, Alexander smirked at her, "You don't have a daughter. I was just about to fire you, but you dared to lie to me after everything you've done. ."
"You're not going to fire me just like that?", asked Mr Lockwood. She's confused. What else would Alexander do to him if he didn't fire him from his job? "Of course not.
You will spend at least ten years behind bars.", As soon as Alexander says this, two security guards enter the meeting room and bring Mr. Lockwood who pleads and cries for forgiveness out. Again, No one dared to speak up to reject his decision.
They all watched the scene without saying a word. "I'm glad to see that you all agree that your co-worker Mr. Lockwood got what he really deserved" Alexander spoke as he watched the silence.
They all nodded, not knowing what to say, "Let's continue this meeting.", He commanded and dispelled the silence.
He was the ruthless and cold CEO of Black Corp so no one dared to attack or if they did, they would think three times before doing so.
Rosalyn
"How long are you going to ignore me?", a woman in her late twenties entered her office without knocking.
Alexander raised his head to stare at the woman for a moment then his eyes returned to his laptop screen. "For ever.", he answered and the woman groaned.
"You can't do this to me, Alex. We are destined for that! Your mother said-"
"Why didn't you marry my mother?", He cut her off and asked. Before he could answer, "If you don't pay attention, in every conversation we have, you always call my mother."
"Because she's my mother-in-law's future. I love her and she loves me as her daughter so that's why me and you.we are destined to be.", Answer the woman with a bright smile on her face.
"Rosalyn, I don't know how to explain to you that there's no such thing as "we". I don't love you, I don't even like you. No matter what you do.
you can't change my mind and for everyone's benefit, stop barging in my office like it's yours."
"Alex, I love you so much. Please try and love me back!! I'm ready to do anything to make you love me like I love you!!".
Rosalyn loved Alexander for his money. Everyone knows that but he doesn't care.
"Roseph? Really true?" " It's Rosalyn!", cried Rosalyn, she was about to cry. He had never felt so unwanted and humiliated in his entire life.
People adored her for her beauty but here, Alexander did not even look at her. Rosalyn thinks that she is the most beautiful girl in the world, which everyone wants, but she is wrong.
There was another girl out there who was much prettier than him.The girl that even Alexander would not be forced to look at.
Rosalyn left her office with tears streaming from her eyes. He could not stand being humiliated. He's never been rejected before. The feeling of being rejected is new and unbearable to him.
"Mr Alexander.", a man in his early twenties was walking in Alexander's office.
"Davids. What's new?", Alexander asked and raised his head, giving his attention to David, his personal assistant.
"You had a meeting with Mr. Liam Griffin at Parker Restaurant" David replied. "For what exactly?", asked Alexander.
He had no idea of the meeting at all or perhaps he had forgotten. "He wants the company to advertise his product. He said that he would give us half of the money he got from the product.
He mentioned that it would be a win-win situation" David said professionally. "What do you think, David? should I agree?", Alexander asked for his opinion.
"Honestly, I don't know sir. You have to go to that meeting and see what else he has to offer then you make a decision. I'm sure whatever you do, will always be the best for the company" David replied with a smile.
"Thank you David. What's the name of the restaurant again?", he asked.
"Parker's Restaurant, one of the best", replied David. The Parker Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the country.
"Time?",
"Now, you will be ten minutes late" replied David.
"Dearly enough. Well, patience is a virtue and I really hope Mr. Griffin has it" Alexander said.
He walked to the door and went to the restaurant with David. As soon as he entered the restaurant, all eyes were on him. He ignored them and his eyes went around the place.
He found a man waving his hand at him and he walked towards him. He doesn't know what Mr. Liam Griffin looks like, but he does know that Liam must know what he looks like.
"Mr Black. I'm Liam Griffin, CEO of Griffin Perfumes.", said Liam and stood up as soon as he saw Alexander coming to him.
Alexander shook his hand which continued Liam, "I don't think "Yes of course. By the way, you're fifteen minutes late. I've been waiting, you know?", said Liam as Alexander sat opposite him with David.
"I'm glad to see that you're a very patient man. And I'm not late, you're the one who's early" Alexander said coldly. "I'm not la-", Alexander interrupted him, "Don't argue with me. It's just for your own benefit."
"yes.of course. Let's eat first. I stayed", said Liam and chuckled which made Alexander look at him blankly.
"Are you hungry, David?", Alexander asked David and he nodded hesitantly.
