Treachery Affair

It’s a Monday morning, a day for work. Inside the spacious and beautifully decorated room is a king-sized bed, lying in the middle of the room. The floor-length mirror looks expensive, there were expensive-looking lotions and hair creams on the dresser, and the closet in the room wasn’t so big, but looked expensive and shiny with little or no dust.

The bathroom door suddenly pulled open, and Jay walked in with a towel hanging dangerously around his waist, his body was dripping wet. His hair was wet from the bath he just had. Walking over to the mirror he sat down elegantly and started with the usual routine of applying lotion to his body and when he was done, he stood up and walked over to the bed, where his neatly ironed suits were waiting for him to come to hug his perfect body.

Picking up the suits, he took his time in wearing them and when he was done, he knotted his tie and wore his shoes. He stood before the mirror, checking himself out to make sure that everything was in order. When he was sure of this, he picked his perfume and sprayed some on his body and with that, he picked his briefcase and car keys from the bed before exiting the room.

Striding through the hallway elegantly and gracefully, looking as handsome as always with his usual perfect body shape, his shoulders were raised egoistically, his face holding the usual frown. Jay doesn’t smile. To him, there’s no reason to smile.

Once he got to the deck of the grand staircase, he descended it and headed straight to the exit door, about leaving when his maid spoke up.

“Good morning, master,” The old lady greeted him politely while bowing slightly and he was forced to stop on his track, but his gaze wasn’t spared to look at her for a second.

“Speak!” He said coldly, the usual aura which could scare anyone to death, surrounding his voice and she gulped down the lump in her throat.

“Breakfast is ready, Sir,” She said and he sighed.

“I won’t have breakfast,” He said simply and with that, he pulled the door open and walked egoistically out of the room. Walking over to the parking lot, he hopped in one of his cars and drove out of the compound.

Driving down the road, the sound of his ringing phone pulled his attention, and without checking who the caller was, he pressed the Bluetooth that was fixed in his ear.

“Good morning, Sir. They are here, Sir,” The feminine voice said from the other side, and no doubt that it was his secretary. He was supposed to have an appointment with some business partners today but turns out that he was late for it. He did it intentionally though.

“I’ll be there in a jiffy,” He said and ended the call even without waiting for what she was going to say next.

After a few minutes drive, he finally drove into the compound and parked at the garage before he alighted and walked gracefully and briskly to the entrance door of the company. Stepping into the lobby, he headed straight to his office.

His secretary stood up as soon as he walked inside the office.

“Good morning, Sir,” She greeted him, and he only hummed a ‘yeah’, going to his office and not sparing her a glance. She sighed angrily and sat back in her seat.

Stepping into his office, he dropped his briefcase on the table and sighed softly. After spending a few minutes in the office, he finally left.

“Prepare my schedule for the week and hand it to me when I get back,” He said to his secretary when he had gotten to her office, and with that, he exited the office. He strode egoistically through the hallway, and once he got to the front of the conference room, he stopped then opened the door and walked in.

Sitting around a large table while waiting patiently for him, were a few numbers of men in suits.

“Good morning everyone. I’m late, please forgive me for that,” Jayden said, bowing slightly with a smile on his face. You’re not surprised that he’s smiling, right? Well, he does smile, but just outside the wall of his house.

“It’s fine. Now that you’re here, let’s get down to business,” One of the men said and he smiled before going to sit on the only remaining empty chair.

“The objective of the meeting is to talk about the performance of the company and also about the growth of the company. Judging from the achievements so far of the team members, I must commend your hard work and the zeal to take the company to a greater height. However, I think some things needs to be worked on in the company, especially in the employment of new staffs. I noticed that since the company had been growing lately, we need more staffs to handle some of the activities going on here. So as a part of the shareholder, I think it’ll be good to let you all know what I have suggested. And also, I can’t do this alone without your support. So I want to know what you all think about this,” He spoke up gently like the gentleman he’s not.

“You have a point, I agree with your suggestion. I think it’ll help in the growth of the company, and also aids in quick business transactions,” One of them said. Some of them gave their suggestions too, and after they’ve arrived at a conclusion, they finally rounded up the meeting, and everyone exited the conference room.

He returned to his office.

The sound of the knock on his door pulled his attention, and of course, he needed no one to tell him that it was his secretary.

“Come in,” He said, not taking his gaze off the desktop, checking out some things. The door opened and she walked in elegantly.

“Sir, your schedule,” She said and he nodded for her to drop it and leave, which she did.

The sound of his ringing phone pulled his attention, and seeing the caller, he sighed and picked up the phone before sliding the answer button.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Yeah?” He said as soon as he picked up the call.

“Let’s see, we have something to discuss,” The masculine voice said from the other end and the call ended immediately, while he stared into space with a blank look on his face…
