CHAPTER SIX

THE  BOSS OF YOUR BOSS

In Thiang

It was 8:ooam on Wednesday morning. The receptionist had just received a call from her boss on what to do. She was a pretty lady dressed in a short white silk top and a blue skirt. She had a nice pair of shoes and a red lipstick to compliment her outfit.

Travis walked in through the glass door at the reception. His arrogant aura filling the entire room as he walks in holds a black suitcase in his left hand. He is dressed in a nice black suit and pants. His hand still had the bandage from the last fight at the hotel.

Ralph must have really done a real bone breaking. 

He walked to the receptionist with so much pride and arrogance.

"I am looking for the CEO," he said, tapping a finger or two on her desk.

The receptionist flashed a smile at him. "Good morning sir, do you have an appointment with the CEO Taylor please?" She asked gently.

"I am the General manager of Abbey's group of companies in Ruwan, I want to sign a contract with your boss. Do I need an appointment for that?" He said arrogantly.

"I'm really sorry sir, Boss Taylor would not see anyone without an appointment". She replied with a smile still hanging on her face.

This was going to be his big deal. If he could successfully sign this contract he would be greatly honored by his grandfather. He was the heir to the Abbeys group after all, working on this contract was just  the appropriate thing to do.

Travis was displeased she was just a receptionist, why does she ask so many questions?

I said I am the general manager of the Abbey group and I want to see the CEO, he said in a really harse tune.

You said that a million times already sir, my boss would only see Miss Jane. He left instructions to let her go upstairs. He would see no else. 

This infuriated Travis, he sighed and turned to go upstairs. He had just taken a few steps when two guards approached in front of him,

"  You are not permitted to go upstairs Mr. Travis," one of the guards said in a deep voice.

He turned around to see if the receptionist was watching him, he realized that he had another two guards behind him.

"I only want to sign a harmless contract with the boss, that's all," he said.

"Leave the premises immediately the Leader  ordered "

Before he could react the guards grabbed him on both arms and threw him outside the building.

Travis was thrown out of the premises. He has never been humiliated. How could they treat the first grandson of the Abbeys out like that? The CEO had ordered the guards to throw him out of the premises. This was a big deal for him, for his family. Why would Jane go upstairs without questioning and he could not. He wondered.

If he loses this project, he would probably be beaten to death. This was a big shot for him, for his family.

There must be something shady with Jane. What does she even have with this CEO? 

At this point Travis could only feel the pain from his fractured arm. He yelled from the pain coming from his injured hand. He had never suffered such treatment before. Travis' face was all red, and frustration became rage when he saw many passersby staring at him. He quickly got up and wiped the dirt off  himself. 

Damn you Jane! 

Jane had been fired from the company. There is definitely no way the company was  going to call her back just to complete the contract.

He left.

On his way home he put a call through to his father. 

"They wouldn't let me see the boss Dad, I can't sign the contract without him. He left instructions to sign with only Jane".

What does he mean by that? Asked his father from the other end of the phone? This isn't too good for us. Grandpa would be disappointed in you Travis. You need to try.

**************

The evening was cool as usual. 

Jane had just prepared dinner.and so she took some to her father and sent some to her "husband" who was sitting on the only  chair in her room. 

She smiled at him before placing the food next to him on the table. 

He thanked her and began delving into his food.

There's something strange about this strange man. Something doesn't seem right about him, she could feel it.  He stared at her the entire time as though he had something to say to her.

"Have you sent your resume yet?" he finally asked.

"Yes I did that earlier today" she responded quickly. I sent a copy to the  new firm, they have their head office in Thiang and I would love to work with the new branch here in Ruwan",  she added.

"Okay, that's cool", he said almost in a chuckle.

He watched her sit on the bed holding her laptop. He imagined the little girl she had always been. She was nice, he knows that for sure. He shoved the thought away. That is not the reason he married into this family. His mission had to be accomplished and this was the only legit way to do it.

He slipped out of the room to make a quick call.

"Dan do as I say" he ordered.

Ok sir, the voice said 

She has applied for a position and I want you to make her the manager of that branch.

"But she's the new boss, how would you know if she's….."

"Do as I say Dan", Ralph cut in

"As you wish, boss".

Ralph ended the call and walked hurriedly back to the room. 

"I would be leaving Thiang in a few days" Ralph Said.

Jane didn't understand this. She was worried and concerned about his safety and here he is telling her he wants to leave town. 

"He might hurt you if you leave, he is  rude and dangerous just like his father", she said in a shaky voice.

"Let me deal with that, Jane. You're my wife now and all I do is the best for us. Besides, I am not comfortable being locked in here for days. I shall return to take you with me at once". He responded by placing a hand on her shoulder.

******

The Abbeys held a meeting concerning the contract. Grandpa has not been at rest since he got the news. The company was gradually going bankrupt. Smith and Lyon have not been in their best moods. The meeting didn't end well, grandpa kept yelling at almost everyone he could yell at. 

He later placed a call to C.E.O Taylors office but was told he travelled for an important appointment and would not be back till the next couple of days. 

What does he feel like? A god ? How could he send my grandson out like that?. He said fuming.

"I think he has something going on with Jane, grandpa. They asked me to leave, the boss had dropped an instruction to let only Jane in and no else".Travis added

"We can't hire her again. No we can't so you must try to get the deal" grandpa said giving Travis a stern look from his lenses.

At the airport

The black SUV arrived 15 minutes before take off time.  Boss Ralph is seated magnetically at the back of the car. He had dark shades and a dark suit. 

The phone rang, Ralph picked it up.

"Hello "

Boss we have an issue at hand. The Abbey's group CEO called in to book an appointment with you earlier. Should I grant them? The voice asked.

"Never let them come any closer  to the premises. You can have the guards throw them out if they resist. I am the boss. I do what I want how I want it". He said this before hanging up.

He has all the time in the world to deal with them at his pace. They are at his mercy now and so he would make them pay gradually.

He has everything planned out. Ralph puffed the smoke out of his mouth 

He will soon be home, what's next?
