The Trillionaire They Taunted

Greeenfield Co

Brian stood in front of the tall building, both regret and annoyance simmering inside him.

The company had been renamed from SilverLine Tech to Greenfield Co after he sold it in a desperate attempt to please his ex-wife.

“All for nothing…” He muttered in despair, a heavy sigh escaping his lungs.

Then he began to march toward the entrance, each step feeling heavier than the last.

For some reason, the guards at the casement door didn’t stop him, probably because he was dressed differently- like a businessman or important personnel.

They didn’t even recognize him, not even a glimpse of who he was.

Brian continued moving slowly until he arrived at the reception.

The young lady seated in front of the large screen was blowing hard on ballooned gum, biting hard even when she had sucked all the juice.

Her fingers were clicking hard on the keyboard, but she had to stop when she saw Brian approaching.

“Hello, Sir!” She said with a smile, her eyes flashing with pure admiration.

They swiftly moved from Brian’s sleek hair, down to his chest, and even to his shiny leather shoes.

He looked charming, the kind of man that she definitely dreamt of with fantasy.

“Welcome to Greenfield Co. How may I help you, Sir?” She sounded like she was willing to die for Brian, lifting her right hand from the keyboard.

Brian cleared his throat, returning the pleasant gesture the receptionist had given to him.

“Hello, Miss. I am here to see the CEO of this company.”

“Please…” The lady waved his first words off, still holding onto her smile.

“Call me Winnie, Sir. It’s not every day that I get to see good-looking and rich men here in this company.”

Brian chuckled softly, pretending not to have seen the advances the lady was making with her eyes.

“Winnie…” He indulged, causing the lady to blush.

“That definitely sounds better, Sir. I love the way you call my name- Winnie!” She giggled, covering her mouth while she looked around.

Sighting a few workers who were moving around with their busy schedules, she got a grip on herself, adjusting her blue jacket.

But her cleavage was still showing, and she had no intention of covering up.

“You said you are here to see my boss?”

“Yes…” Brian nodded, pushing two steps forward.

“Is he on seat?” He asked politely, and Winne nodded.

“Certainly, Sir…” Winnie nodded, returning her fingers to the keyboard.

But she typed nothing, returning her eyes to Brian.

She almost winked at him, her long brows inviting him to flirt with her.

“Do you have an appointment with Mr. Benson?”

“No. Not at all.” Brian took a deep breath, his countenance slowly shifting plain.

“But I was hoping that I could get a chance to meet him. It is really important.” He stressed, almost begging with his eyes.

Winnie was silent for a few seconds, but her mind was occupied.

Then she sighed heavily, nodding while her smile returned.

“That’s not a problem, Sir. I am sure that my boss will be willing to hear what you have come for. Certainly, you are here for business.”

“Sure!” Brian nodded, and that seemed like what the lady wanted to say.

“Good.” Winnie cleared her throat, and then she began to type on the keyboard.

“I just need to be certain that Mr. Benson has no appointment at this time. He could be in a meeting, who knows.” She slowly lifted her face, her eyes demanding a response.

“What’s your name, Sir? I would need to tell Mr. Benson. I am sure that will make him see you faster.”

“Oh…” Brian stepped forward, and then he cleared his throat.

“Tell him Brian Regal is here to see him…”

“Brian Re…” Winnie stopped midway, slowly taking her hands off the keyboard.

Her smile vanished, and a frown took over.

“Excuse me, sir. Did you just say Brian Regal?” She hoped that Brian had made a mistake, but when he nodded, she was very disappointed.

The lady hissed, and then she reclined to her seat, shaking her head disappointedly.

“Is there a problem?” Brian dared to ask even though the obvious was smeared on the face of the receptionist.

Winnie was silent, but the disdain in her eyes was still glittering.

Brian stared at her for a few seconds, and then he cleared his throat.

“Miss? I thought you were about to inform your boss that someone is here to see him.”

“Not until I found out who you truly are,” Winnie responded rudely, discarding all the admiration and respect she had for Brian.

She threw everything to the mud, rolling her eyes at him.

“You should have started with that the moment you walked into this place. You shouldn’t have wasted my time. Brian Regal.”

She said the name with so much scorn, glaring at Brian like he had stolen something very important from her.

Brian took a deep breath, and then he stepped backward.

“It seems you know who I am.”

“Who doesn’t?” Winnie retorted, then she scoffed.

“You are the loser who couldn’t handle his business. You were so incompetent that you had to sell everything to my boss. All because of a woman.”

Brian felt a sharp pain in his chest, and it didn’t stop there.

It began to tighten, almost crushing his heart.

It felt like his skin was losing its moisture, dried up by the spiteful words of the receptionist.

He sighed heavily, getting a hold of himself.

“Please…” His voice was cracked, and he had to pause for a while.

“Could you tell your boss that someone is here to see him?”
