Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Chapter Seventy Three

Meeting Eric

FRED’S POV

It’s been a while since I last saw Rayne, even though I missed her I always refuse to admit it.

I sighed as the thought of Sarah came in, she’s just a sex machine, she has never tried to help me to grow my company like Rayne did.

I had decided to swallow a bit of my pride and visit The CEO of the AD company that’s obviously my ex’s husband.

The whole thing seems humiliating but I guess at this point it was all I had to do. My Dad was on my neck and everyone was looking up to me.

I rolled my eyes as the thought of my Dad came in.

The whole situation was getting me tired.

A buzzing sound came in from my phone, and I looked at it.

It was Sarah calling.

Why was she calling all of a sudden? After she called a break between the both of us I decided to have nothing to do with her, though some part of me still calls for her but I’m not going to give into her quick seduction.

I sighed and picked up the call.

“Hi baby,” was her voice from the other end of the call.

“What is it?” I was already annoyed.

“Baby what’s wrong?” she asked soberly.

“Is that why you called?” I asked her not to promote the conversation. She was acting like we had not been apart for some time.

“I called to check on you, you’ve been avoiding my calls for days now.” She said.

That’s true. I remember bouncing her calls anytime it came in, how could I have forgotten she’s been trying to reach me. but still yet I kept my cool.

“That’s because you’re pestering my life.” I simply said.

“Oh baby don’t say that you know I miss you so dearly.”

“Sarah what do you want?” I asked.

“I want you,” was her calm reply, like she was the boss of me.

“You had me, you stole me from your best friend, what else?” I said in frustration.

“Sorry Ex best friend.” she corrected.

“I just want to spend some quality time with you baby.” she added.

“Meet me by 7pm today, I have an appointment and I have to be early.” I said sternly.

“Alright catch ya later,” she said and hung up.

I sighed in relief immediately when she hung up.

“Such a pest,” I said under my breath.

“Boss, it’s all prepared. we may now proceed.” Bose, my new assistant said.

I nodded and walked out to where the car was parked and got in.

This is going to be one hell of a time.

ERIC’S POV

The appointments were going smoothly and I handled everything gently.

The next person I had an appointment with was Fred Meyer and he was already two minutes late.

I sighed as he walked in all shoulder up and high.

“Good day Mr Arnold,” he said.

I ignored his greetings and checked what time his appointment was to end and it was in thirty minutes.

“What is it?” I asked him immediately as he sat down.

“I’ve brought a deal for the both of us!” He started.

“I have better things to do than waste my time with you.” I said

“I’ve brought a collaboration deal to boost our companies,” he said feeling proud.

I just chuckled not too loud.

What does he take me for? A fool?

I wanted to dismiss him but still yet I wanted to play along. I also wanted to know what had transpired between him and my wife.

I leaned forward on the desk.

“Go on.” I said.

At first he was surprised, it was so obvious I could see it in his eyes.

He cleared his throat and began.

“There’s and upcoming company called the DAN, it has been ranking the lowest and all of a sudden it has reached top 3, I’m just bringing this deal, as the two top most ranking company, we should try to resolve the issue before the DAN company takes over as top one leaving us at nothing,” he said.

Pretty smart I thought, but I wasn’t satisfied, he was mentioning us and I clearly know it’s for his interest.

“Tell me more.” I simply said.

“If you could sign into My company’s project and invest a bit in it , having the top 1 Company collaborating with my Company the top 2, would make me stand my position and together we can overcome this third party.” he said.

“Mmm, interesting.” I simply said with a smirk.

“So is it a deal?” he asked as he felt relaxed on the Chair.

Poor kid trying to play smart.

“So in other words you need my help to stand your position?” I asked to see his answer.

And just like I expected he denied and tried to be proud.

“I would not need the help of my fellow CEO if he doesn’t need mine, we’re trying to help each other here.” he said.

“About helping, thank you for cheating on Rayne, without that I wouldn’t have found her,” I said calmly.

The whole place became quiet and I could see him fuming silently in his seat.

“And also, she’s the most amazing and supportive woman any man would want.” I added.

I could see him fuming but he couldn’t do anything because he was powerless before me.

“Here’s the contract you just need to sign here and there.” He simply said.

Does he really take me for a fool to fall for his childish tricks?

“You know you could have pleaded directly rather than trying to act smart.” I started.

“What do you mean?” he said, acting as though he didn’t understand.

I leaned forward and whispered in a cold and authoritative tone.

“never you try to outsmart me, ever!!” I said, making a sound warning in his head.

“We’re done.” I said, concluding our appointment.

“But…..”

“Out.” I said cutting him short.

He’s just as annoying and cunning as I thought.

He picked up his files and walked out.

I pressed a number on my Tab which was an auto call for my staff and I was calling my secretary. it rang and she picked it up immediately.

“Cancel all appointments for today and shift them to other days.” I simply said.

“Yes boss.” she replied and I hanged up.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

I wanted to go home early today but I think I’ll stay out a bit late.
