Chapter 27
Kendrix
I glared at the message my father sent after making me wait two long days, he just sent three contacts and two of those were people I will never willingly get involved with because I knew what they were and I avoided their kind as much as I can, one was a real estate agent, Dino, of course I had no problem with him personally but he wasn’t a straightforward businessman and result to doing a lot of things illegally, one time, I had his agency find me a new space for one of my hotels, he had demanded for three times the original price of the property, I won’t have had a problem with him if he had not lied about the whole thing after I caught him, I understand why my father sent his contact, but I wasn’t going to be calling or having anything to do with him, he could play both me and Jordan, I just don’t trust him.
The second person, Eric Huge-man was no different from Dino, they were pretty much birds of the same feather, the difference is, Eric was a full-time political figure and had all the right connections, again, I had no intention of working with someone like Eric whose wealth was ill-gotten from stealing from the public, his family members are known for running a chain restaurant business but everyone knew just what their real source of wealth was, I couldn’t even figure out what father thought he would for me, frankly speaking, I had more money than the both of them combine, not like I was trying to brag, it was just fact.
The last person though, was someone I could work with, George Embry, the richest man in the whole of O-when and he had a reputable place in the list of the world’s richest people, plus he was a true businessman who earned his money quite the right way, him I could work with but the problem is, for some reason, this man had a beef with my father, over the years, I have seen my father try to make up with him a couple of times, he tried to invite him to many of the functions of the royal family but George never showed up, I had no clue as to why he had issues with my father but I was not nosy enough to ask, he was the only person I could work with but would he like to work with me, seeing that he didn’t seem to like my family, only one way to find out though, I will make an appointment and see what happens from there.
Aside from the contact my father sent, I have done a lot more work on my own too. I spoke with a few people I know who could help get through to the people involved with the Orient and they promise to give feedback soon, hopefully before the week ends. if I can talk George Embry to my side, that would help a lot because the man really knows everyone, I just hope he gives a listening ear because I had no plans of hiding my plans from him, I would tell him everything, including my goals and everything I intend to do if I get to be king.
I closed my phone and kept it in my pocket as I walked out of my room, I decided to skip work today and spend the day at home, I got downstairs and saw my two housemates eating, Raul frowned when he saw me and bowed down, the young man just hated me and there was no helping it, he liked Arielyn though and I could tell, everyone seemed to like her even my overjoyed wolf have been having a good time since she moved in here, I haven’t seen much of her in the past couple of days but we ate breakfast and dinner together with Raul and so far, the young lad has been eating even though he still doesn’t say a word to me and go out of his way to avoid me.
“Good morning guys,”
I said as I joined them, Arielyn looked at me and smiled, she looked so much better than she had been when I went to pick her up two days ago, I still couldn’t believe Jordan had been so stupid to reject her, the worst part is when I think of the kind of women that Jordan has been with over the years, no, I don’t judge women or anything, but if I was given Arielyn as a mate, I won’t look anywhere else, the only reason I have been with other women was that Veronica died, if not she would have been the only one, even the other women I have been with were just flings, nothing serious, only one woman could own my soul and she was no more.
“She is right here,”
My wolf chipped in and I mentally cursed, he didn’t look like he would get over the crush he had on Arielyn anytime soon even though he knew it was a lost cause with her, I can’t be with Arielyn because she deserve someone who will treat her well and actually love her, not only that, she was leaving the country soon and I had no plans of leaving O-when, my life goal was in this country so nothing can happen between the both of us, we just don’t match.
We ate breakfast in silence after which Raul excused himself and went up to his room. I knew he was holding a grudge because if I wasn’t here, he would sit with Arielyn not like I chased him so I take it as revenge for him hating me without any cause.
“Are you not going to ask me what happened and why I am homeless, it has been days and you haven’t asked,”
Arielyn asked when we were alone, of course, I have wanted to ask for days now but I didn’t know when to bring it up, when she finally settled in, I didn’t want to make her sad all over again by bringing it up so that’s how the reason she moved out remained unknown to me.
