Entangled

Chapter-2

Xavier Knight

Driving through the busy streets of New York, I made my way to my company, XDS Autotech. My best friends, Daniel Adams, Sean Peterson, and I are equal partners in the company. Our company was the USA's top Auto component manufacturer company.

Our company was nothing when we started it right after college. We were Mechanical engineering graduates, after college, we started this company from scratch and after seven years of intense struggle, our company became the highest-grossing company of the year, last year. The goal was the same for this year as well. Right now, we had clients all over the world and famous automobile companies were our clients. We had offices in some countries in the world but we had been working on expanding our business. It's a billion dollars company and I was very proud of it. And why wouldn't feel proud? It was my dream and now I was living it.

As I reached my company building, I parked my car in the private parking area and sauntered towards the entrance. Greeting good morning to the security guards, I entered the building then headed towards the private elevator, greeting good morning to my employees and the receptionist who was giving me a seductive smile making me mentally roll my eyes.

Entering into the elevator, I click the sixtieth-floor button, which was my floor. Fifty-ninth belonged to Daniel and fifty-eight to Sean. Only a few other people worked on our floors and all other employees working in their respective departments on their respective floors.

Once on the floor, I sauntered towards my office, greeting good morning to Mrs. Rosa Miller with a smile, she was the floor manager and was hardworking. As I got near my office I abruptly stopped, the view in front of me gave me an instant headache. There were hundreds of flower bouquets placed near the sitting area in front of my office.

"What is all this Ronald?" I asked my employee who, actually worked in the management department but right had to work as my temporary P.A. since I didn't have one at the moment as I fired my last P.A. a week ago.

"Sir, these are wishes from your clients and business partners." He replied politely.

I sighed, new clients always send letters and flowers as a thank you greeting.

"Clear the place, Ronald. this scene is giving me a headache".

"Umm...sir you won't go through these letters?" He questioned.

I sighed. "I don't have time Ronald, I have more important work to do."
Don't get me wrong but my every second count and going through these letters would surely take a day. But I couldn't disappoint my clients as they were the reason I was standing here.

"Ronald, do one thing, you together with Mrs. Miller, reply for those letters on my behalf but first come in the office and tell me my today's schedule," I said and entered my office.

I was going through the documents when suddenly my phone rang. I smiled watching the name which appeared on the phone screen 'My Old man'. I picked up the call immediately.

"Good morning...world's best dad," I said, grinning ear to ear as I relaxed back in my chair.

"Oh.. flattering, are you saying this because you didn't meet your old man and old woman for so long?" Came his taunting reply.

"Oh come on, dad, you know I have been busy and I said that because I mean it." Yeah, my parents are the best in the world. I am really very lucky to have them.

"Okay, okay fine I get it." He laughed. "Well son, your mother and I have something to talk to you about. Come for dinner tonight and don't say no because this is important." He said with seriousness in his tone.
