Chapter 2

Thief!" A man yelled pulling her hair. Turning around, she was shocked with the sight before her. A man who was almost naked stood in front of her as water dripped from his wet hair and onto his body stood in front of. He was another handsome creature she was sure that girls would drool over. She have never seen him around here which made her know he was

" Thief" He said forcefully taking away the wrist watch from her hand.

" What did you say?" She asked although she heard what he said the first time.

" I said you are a thief. You wanted to steal my gold wrist watch" still speaking, he held the watch up to her face showcasing it's worth.

" I am not a thief and I wouldn't want to steal that" she pointed to the watch. Although the watch was worth alot, she never had the intention of stealing.

" But you would have if I hadn't caught you" he said.

Stepping forward,she closed the distance between them.

" Look here mister, I am not a thief and you better mind your words" her words showed she was agitated as she pointed at him with glaring eyes.

Seeing her attitude, James raised his hands in a form of surrender as he didn't want to get her anymore upset. He wasn't a fan of upsetting the ladies.

" Alright alright. You are not a thief" He said but the look she gave him didn't change at all.

" What..." He asked when he still found her glaring continuously at him.

" Apologize" She simply said. James almost choked on hearing the word.

" Me?" Pointing to himself he asked as he turned both ways as though someone else was in the room but no it was just them. Looking at her dressing, he saw that she was wearing a maids attire and besides that he found her attractive.

Wanting to change the look on her face, he lazily rolled his eyes as he let the words " I am sorry" The words slipped out from his mouth.

" There I apologized now please change the look on your face" muttering the words he spoke, he went to his wardrobe and got out his garment. A little smile formed on her lips.

" You must be Madam's son" she spoke and he gave a nod.

" You seem nice but I don't understand why you fired Fiona" Confusion plastered on his face on hearing her.

" Fiona? who's that and why would I want to fire h..." Pausing a bit he remembered the person that could do such a thing and that was his brother victor. He knew his brother really well, victor is a no nonsense person. Any mistake and you are gone.

He gave a chuckle after which he shook his head. " That isn't Me. It's my brother, only he would do such" he said with a smile.

" Your brother, I thought you were the only child of Madam"

" Well now you know" he said.

Looking at him, she attempted to leave but was prohibited when he held her hand and came to stand in front of her.

" You never did tell me your name" he spoke flashing a smile on his handsome face.

" Juliet" she simply said and tried to leave once more but once again, he held her wrist.

" Wouldn't you want to know mine?" Juliet had no intention of knowing his name so she shook her head and glanced at his hand holding her wrist.

"You are really something. Anyway, my name is James and I hope to see you around" Juliet gaze didn't leave her wrist as he still held her. James followed her line of sight and seeing that he still held onto her, he slowly released her wrist.

Without hesitation, she left the room and the only thing James could do was to stare at her retreating figure which brought a smile to his face. He didn't understand it but he felt attracted to her. Shrugging, he went to the dressing room to change.

* Victor who has just had a long bath stepped out of the room and went to the direction of the garden where his mother was clearly awaiting his arrival.

Under the little canopy in the garden, he sighted her and walked towards her, taking a seat when he approached the canopy.

" I'm so glad you made it" Using her thumb and her middle finger, she clicked her hand signalling the maid who stood by the side to step forward presenting a trolley of food with lots of delicacies.

All seemed good to him but he didn't show any sign of interest instead he only gave a continuous Stern look. His mother always hated that look. That plain, cold look he always gave. she had tried numerous times to change it but her efforts were in vain.

" Now that you are back what do you plan on doing?" His mother Natasha asked but he didn't give a response making the atmosphere seem awkward.

At once the maid served the food and once she was done, she stood by the side as always. Picking up the fork he began to dine on the French fries served.

Thinking victor didn't hear her, she tried to ask again" Vic..." She wasn't able to complete her word as victor Interrupted.

" I heard you the first time" his deep voice interrupted her. " And to your question, I came here only for business purposes and nothing more" He spoke placing another badge of fries into his mouth, but after that, everywhere fell deaf silent again.

" Oh... okay" she said. " But don't you have plans of settling down with a woman" Immediately her words penetrated his ears, he slammed his hand on the table making his mother along with the maid who stood by the side to startle in fear.

" Why do you have to ruin my lunch?" He asked with an angry voice. His mother tried to hide the pain she felt but was unable to as she let tears roll down her cheeks.

Taking a deep breath which helped to calm him, he changed his tone to a calmer tone as he spoke.

" I'm sorry but I ask this of you, never ever tell me about settling down again" he stood up and went to his room. Victor never ever liked the thought about settling down with a woman after the last incident that happened. Stepping inside, he closed the door and decided to spend the rest of the day in his room.

When morning came, he dressed up to go to his company. He had earlier informed his personal assistant about his arrival and how they needed to get everything set.

Going downstairs, he stepped out and met his mom with Sasha the head maid talking to each other. " So do this and you won't have problems" she intended to go on but stopped when she noticed victor all dressed up and ready to leave.

" Where are you going?" She asked.

" The company" he simply replied heading to the car where the new driver was waiting for him.

" I thought you would rest for a few days" making way for him, he opened the door and stepped in lowering the glass window down.

" If I had spend my entire time resting, I'm sure I wouldn't have made it up to this point" he spoke referring to his progress in life.

" Drive" he ordered and at once the car drove off stopping at the company.

💫Z's enterprises

The production team has already gathered round awaiting for their one and only boss, victor Gomez. Along with the staffs, they were basically running around trying to make things look their possible best.

He wasn't an easy person to impress.

They had already worked hard on their presentation to the extent that they made lots of sacrifices just to make their presentation worth it.

Stepping into the company, he found the employees standing in a straight line. Without glancing or responding to their greetings,he made his way past them and went into the room where the production team were eagerly waiting for him. Accompanying him was his personal assistant who followed him from behind.

The staffs all stood to acknowledge his presence He took his seat but the staffs were still standing waiting for him to gesture them all to seat but when none came, they figured that they would stand through out the presentation.

" So what do we have?" He asked. Stepping forward was the manager of the production team, Mark. He brought forward the necessary files. Taking a look at the file, a frown arched his brows and an even deeper one has he raised his head to stare at mark.

" What's this rubbish?" He glared at Mark who was fidgeting like a chicken left in the rain.

"Sir, the files contains a list...of..of the..our ideas.." he Stammered but wasn't able to complete his sentence as he was cut off by victor who continuously gave him a deadly glare.

" Ideas? This is trash. Am I working with fools or professional huh?" He asked but none of them have an answer. Who would dare to answer.

" Answer me!" He slammed his hand on the desk.

" Professionals sir" they all muttered.

" Shut up!" He flared " I'm working with perfect fools. If you were professionals, you would have brought up a better idea for the company" He sighed staring at Mark who couldn't look his boss in the eye before shifting his gaze to the other members.

" Work on this again and I need better results if not all of you will be fired" he said and angrily got up.

" And I need it tomorrow morning" he added as he walked towards the door. A woman sat there contemplating whether or not to speak and when she gathered the courage to speak, she went for it.

" Sir please, I need to take a day off. My child is seriously sick and I need to be with him" she asked with pleading eyes.

" You are fired!" He yelled " Now you have all the time to take care of your child" he said and left the room. The staffs around the lady tried to comfort her as tears rolled freely down her cheeks.

"So, what do we have? What's my schedule for the day?" He asked his personal assistant.

" Sir, you have a board meeting with the board of directors in an hour and you are also expected to be in a meeting with Mr David concerning the hotel in a twenty minutes" she blurted looking at her wrist watch.

" Is that so?" He asked. He already have a lot on his table.

"Yes sir" she replied although he didn't really need an answer.

" Postpone my meetings with Mr David till tomorrow morning" he said.

" Why sir?" She asked and victor turned to glare at her. " I..I need to tell Mr... David... something" stammering she saw she was in a lot of trouble so she quickly muttered.

" I'm so Sorry" she said with her head lowered.

James who had been waiting for victor came to meet him and from there, they worked to his office.

"So what are you doing today?" James asked but instead Victor asked his ignoring his question.

"How was your little conversation with the press?" He asked knowing how his brother loved the attention he got.

" Great but you haven't answered my question" he said.

Shrugging, victor went to take his seat behind his mahogany desk. " Nothing" he simply replied taking up files on his table.

"Don't tell me that. Let's go out to grab something to eat. What do you say?"

" I'm not really in the mood" he leaned back on his swivel chair.

" Common" he gave a pleading look but still victor wasn't able to change his mind. Realizing that victor wouldn't change his mind anytime soon, James stood up and left the office.

After James was gone, victor continued with work till he retired to his home.

Heading to his room, he heard the barking of a dog which distrubted his ear making him stop.

Walking In the direction of the sound, he met a dog. The continuous barking continued. A maid came to meet the dog dropping a plate of dog food to the floor. He kept watching as she tried to get the dog to eat but couldn't.

"Make it stop" he growled in a low tone which was still terrifying.

"I'm trying sir" she spoke stroking it's fur. Stepping in front of the dog, he glared at the barking dog and for a short moment, the dog stayed quiet.

" Who's in charge of taking care of the dog?" He asked

"Juliet sir" she responded. Before he could say further, a girl ran past him and went to the dog squatting down to it's level. On seeing her, it immediately kept quiet and began to wag it's tail.

" Juliet..."Blinking her eyes, the maid tried to signal her about Victor's presence but she couldn't make out what she was trying to say.

" What's wrong with your eyes?" Juliet asked seeing the way her eyes continuously blinked.

"Her eyes is fine but what's wrong with you? I think you are blind not to notice me" A deep voice spoke making her shudder.

" You are the one who is blind. Just go away" still not turning, she patted the dog's head. The dog who seemed to love her actions wagged its tail.

" How dare you?" He spoke dragging her head. Due to the force on her head, she stood, turning around, she tried to land a slap on the idiot that dared to pull her head.

Victor who saw a hand flying to his direction was quick enough to grip her hand stopping her actions. A surprised look which quickly washed away and replaced by an angry look formed on his face as he stared at the girl who not only tried to slap him but also embarrassed him on his way back home.

" You?!" She exclaimed with her eyes opened.

His eyes blazed with anger. " Did you just try to slap me?" His tone was frightening but Juliet didn't seem to care one bit.

" And I would have if you hadn't hold my hand" The grip her hand was tight and it felt like he was crushing her bone. Yanking her hand away, she glared at him. Mean while the maid who stood by the side was shaking as the atmosphere was tense.

" Do you have any idea who I am?" Victor asked staring at her maid's attire.

" I DON'T CARE" she emphasized on each word rolling her eyes.

" Juliet... He is our Madam's son" the maid informed. At her words Juliet's mouth flew open. She tried to find words to speak but none came out.

A wide smirk formed on Victor's lips as he was sure to make her pay for humiliating him and right now, he was thinking of so many ways to make her life hell.

" You are...." She couldn't complete her words as it seemed to get stuck on her throat. She swallowed hard staring at the man in front of her.

"Apologize" he said in a Stern voice.

" I'm sorry but you kind of deserved it. I mean you pulled my hair forcefully" she said and victor got even more upset with her words.

" Your apology is worthless to me. I will make you pay for what you did to me" he growled In a low menacing tone.

" I did.." Interrupted by Victor's voice, the next thing she heard made her mouth open and her eyes to widen.

" You are fired!" He said.
