Chapter 2 - The Fateful Meet

CITY Y AIRPORT

CITY Y AIRPORT

Jake strolled out of the airport with his suitcase in one hand and the other buried in his pocket, he had his dark sunglasses on, and he looked handsome enough to make heads turn, and the ladies ogle at him.

He was jet-lagged after a 21-hour long flight. He felt exhausted after working on the new software design for the company during his flight. This was supposed to be his first project as the newly appointed CEO of Acrosoft...a software company. He had been the president of the Company overseas in the last five years since his father died, but he has recently been appointed CEO since his grandfather retired a week ago.

He had brought the company to new heights even as the president of Acrosoft. But as the new CEO, he had to solidify his capabilities in the hearts of the board of directors and shareholders. He refused to be viewed as a usurper with no capabilities, even though his abilities already convinced them during his time as the president.

"Mr Jake", The chauffeur greeted with a slight bow before putting his suitcase in the trunk.

"It's nice to have you back, sir," The chauffeur said with a small smile as he held the door for Jake.

"I can't say it's nice to be back", He replied indifferently before stepping into the car.

He turned on his phone, which he had turned off due to flight protocols. He smirked when he received a message from his little brother, Blake.

'We're waiting for you. You know where that is.'

All he needed at the moment was rest before calling the office. He needed this project in motion as soon as possible. He had roughly sketched out his ideas on his way back. He'd love to take full control of both the design and programming department till this project is fully executed, as errors and delays would never be condoned by him.

"Sir, are we heading home?"

"No. Grand Hills", He replied.

Jake had only returned into the country, and his crazy brother was already on his case.

******

Jake had only stepped into the underground club when he heard excited shrieks from all corners of the club.

It seems the 'King of the club' has returned.

Jake made his way to the VIP lounge, just above the dance floor, where he had spotted his brother and a few familiar faces he was sure he has never spoken to before.

"Bro, Welcome back," Blake said with a toothy grin and half hug.

"You should be home taking care of grandfather," Jake said, pulling away from his silly younger brother while Blake scratched on the back of his neck.

"I have to welcome my big bro first, and grandfather doesn't mind," Blake said cheerfully as he took his seat beside his brother.

Jake had only been seated when he saw a beautiful girl dressed in a sexy red gown step into the club. Her shiny jet black hair flowed freely, which made her look beautiful. Her heart-shaped face was lightly made up, and her curves...were just in the right proportion, just the way he liked it.

His gaze followed her as she weaved through the crowd and approached the bar.

His lips curved slightly when she gulped down 3 glasses of whatever she ordered—one word for her....'novice'.

He concluded she was either new to this, or there was something she was trying to forget in the bottom of those shot glasses... whichever the case was.

He was surprised when he saw her staring in his direction, and her gaze met his. He was almost tempted to signal her over, but not tonight. All he needed now was a good night sleep, so he would feel refreshed to start working by morning.

He turned his gaze from her to listen to whatever his brother was babbling to him about, but he couldn't help but glance back at her. He frowned slightly when he no longer found her by the bar.

Since he had promised to die down this old habit of his, then he should keep himself in check.

Jake was taken aback when a small, slender and dainty figure appeared before him...it was the same girl he had just been staring at a while ago.

He raised his gaze to her, and his heart nearly skipped a beat...She looked even more beautiful than he had thought. Her sea-blue eyes looked nervous than her body was.

"Hey", She greeted with a nervous smile.

He wondered why she had suddenly approached him. He watched as she brought out a white envelope from her purse and stretched it out to him, "I heard you had money to spend, and I'm just in need of that cash. I'll pay with my virginity. If you're displeased with me, I will let you go... I'll consider it my bad day. Here's a medical report I'm disease-free. What do you say?" She said as she looked at him anxiously.

He fell short of words and could only stare into her eyes like he was in search of something.
