The Secret Billionaire Son-in-law

Chapter 4

On the car back home, Lisa couldn't stop biting her lower lip nervously. 

“ Is there a problem? ”. Harry who noticed her behavior asked. 

“ How can you ask me that when you made such a deal with my family, where in the world did you think that you were going to be able to get money to help my company”.

She yelled so loud that she could barely breathe.

“ It doesn't have to be me, you are a smart and intelligent young girl, soon other companies will start flooding your doorstep”.

“ There are much better companies than mine, I could see the way Lilly was glaring at me, she is only where she is today because of her successful husband, how can she mock me knowing how hard I work for myself”.

“ That is because she doesn't know how hard you work, she doesn't even understand what it is like to be an independent woman”.

“ This is all your fault, if only you were half as good as Charles then maybe I wouldn't be going through so much right now” she barked and he knew how angry she was.

“ I am sorry that you are going through this crisis because of me, but I believe that things will start getting better soon”.

 He expressed but she rolled her eyes at him. 

“ My only chance of things getting better was Jeff Elison and you ruined that”.

“ Were you going to sign the divorce document? ”. He asked as his gaze pierced at her, but she remained silent.

Arriving back at Maple Town, After Lisa was done taking her bath, she changed into her silk nightgown that perfectly hung on her smooth skin. She rested on the couch before she spoke.

“ Come and massage my feet”. She commanded and he held up himself from where he was previously trying to sleep and knelt before her feet. 

He held her fair and tenderfoot with so much care and grace, for him, it was a privilege to be able to even touch her. 

Slowly he began to run his fingers around her foot, but careful enough not to cause any harm to it, her skin felt like that of a goddess that it sent a shiver down his spine, Harry had never heard any physical contact with her, but his body never failed to respond at each touch.

His hands ran smoothly around and soon enough, she fell asleep, Lisa made it a routine to always mandate him for a massage each time she was finding it difficult to sleep because, to her, his hands were magic on her feet. 

Seeing that she was fast asleep, he carefully placed her foot down and hauled her on his arms down to the bed, wrapping her with the thick blanket before getting down on the floor. 

The next day, Harry got dressed, and with his bike, he rode over to Bryn Empire. Carefully he parked his bike at the parking lot of the company when suddenly a car drove into the company with a high speed and almost ran him down. 

Harry was fast enough to have moved away from there and the Car only managed to hit his bike, plunging it to the ground. 

“ Are you dumb or a lunatic! ”. The driver yelled as he alighted from the car. 

Harry was trying to catch his breath when he turned around to the face of the driver, it was Charles, and Charles's face was immediately replaced with a look of contempt seeing Harry. 

“ What is a low life like you doing here, or do you think that Bryn Empire is a place someone like you can just come in”.

“ I did not see any signpost about the kind of people permitted inside here, hence I think that I can go in”.

 Harry spoke calmly, he looked more poised than the man he had met last night and this made Charles more furious. 

“ What! You think you can speak to me the way you please, just because we are outside the Carrion family, one word from me and you will be kicked out!! ”. 

 He yelled, his heart racing at the calmness Harry exuded

“ I do not have an issue with you, but if you do have a problem, you can settle with whoever it is”. Harry replies and begins strolling towards the building. 

He was stopped by a loud punch that hit his back so fiercely that Harry almost lost balance. Like that was not enough, Charles threw his hand in the air again, but Harry was conscious this time and stopped with his elbow sending a hard pang in his arm. 

This only made Charles more furious, he surged out towards him again but was stopped by the security men who had rushed to the scene accompanied by Mr. Williams Colbert, the manager of the company. 

“ Mr. William, thank God that you are here, how is such a Lunatic allowed in here! ”. He barked, adjusting the collar of his shirt. 

Williams stared at the picture on his phone and then at Harry again, he had been told that the new president of the company would be coming in today, but never did he imagine that he would be looking so shabby with a bike. 

“Mr. Charles, the situation here does seem like you are the lunatic here! ”.

“ What!! ”. Charles exclaimed looking perplexed at him. 

“ Mr. Fletcher, I am sorry for the inconvenience, do you need us to take disciplinary action against him”. Williams spoke and did not dare meet his eyes with Harry. 

“It's fine, let him be! ”.

“ Welcome sir, I have been expecting you, sir, this way please”. He led the way and Harry followed while Charles was thrown out of the building. 

“ What are you doing, that man is a nobody, why would you regard him better, stop!! ”. He complained but none of his pleas were heard. 

“ Why is that man here? ”. Harry asks walking inside the company. 

“ He is Charles Rodrick, the CEO of Techfund”.

“ A CEO, asking him out of the company like that, won't it have any effect on us? ”.

“ Not at all, his company has had the contract of supplying all our electric gadgets while his wife is one of our top models, hoping to renew her contract this year, they stand to gain more from us, so he wouldn't press any charges”

“ Oh, I see… ”. They both stepped on the elevator that took them down to the 50th floor where the office of the president was situated. 

As the large double door of his office opened widely, Harry popped his eyes while his mouth was wide open. 

He was amazed at the beauty in the form of her structure, the office was massively big with a minibar and a resting area where he could sleep in case of late-night work. 

“ This is my office?”. Harry asked, not sure he was dealing with reality. 

“ Yes on your desk is a beep button, the red one for emergency or perhaps someone threatening your life just like I witnessed earlier, the green button is for when you need assistance or anything else that doesn't relate to emergency”.

 Harry strode over to the large armchair, almost frightened to sit on it as his hand trailed through the two buttons on the desk. 

“The document on the desk is everything you need to know about Bryn Empire and all its subsidies”.

 Williams explained and his eyes landed on a stack of files. 

“ I need to go through all this? ”.

“ Yes, it ranges from our cosmetic collection, down to our footwear, also there are a few of our models whose contracts will expire this month and you will need to go through their record and see if there is a need to renew the contract”.

“ Okay, and one more thing, I heard that Timeless Fashion submitted a proposal? ”.

“ Yes! It is a small company, it's nothing you should be bothered about”.

“ I want their proposal approved”.

“ What!! ”.Williams pulled his glasses upward in order to get a clear view.

“ You heard me, approve their proposal immediately”.

“ Yes sir! ”. That was the first decision he made as the president of the company, and for him, it felt like the best he would ever take.
