Chapter 4 4

Micheal's Pov

"Sir" John let out, "Whatever must have occurred between you and this lady seem to be very serious and with the look of things, I am sure that this lady will go to the media, she didn't joke with her threat"

Pissed, I didn't try to hide my emotion, "What are you trying to emphasize John? Are you telling me to give in to such a scam? Open my arms wide and accept a child who isn't mine? I can't believe that some ladies can be this desperate, if she had been searching for a way to get to me all this while and I failed to give her the attention she wants, she had no right to walk into my office and claim that I got her pregnant"

"Do you know her Sir?" John implored.

Irritated by his question, I gave him a dating stare.

"What sort of question is that? I just told you now that I don't know who that lady is, I don't even understand what kind of cheap scam she is trying to pull out. You should return to your office John, enough of this discussion"

Not saying another word, with a slight nod, John walked out of the office leaving me to my plight.

The whole scene begins to play nonstop in my head. I couldn't believe what just occurred and the more I think about it, the angrier it made me.

I, a father

Impossible!

She can go to hell for all I care

Tell anybody that she wants to, I don't care.

All I am sure of is that I don't know her nor am I the one who placed that bastard child in her womb.

I sat on my chair, with my eyes fixed on the laptop screen in front of me. I tried to go back to the document I was sorting before the drama unfolded but I just couldn't. As confused as I was, the more I thought about it, the angrier it made me.

"I need a break" saying this, I got on my feet, picked up my briefcase, and walked out of my office.

"Will you be returning to the office today?, Dr. Charles will be here at any time for the meeting" I heard John ask as I walked past him.

"Inform Dr. Charles that the meeting has been shifted to tomorrow by 9 am, I am way too occupied today" I replied without turning to look at him and walked into the elevator pressing the button on the last floor.

Within a minute, I got out of the building, and to my surprise, at the sight of me, most of my workers ran to their duty posts as no one dared to annoy me.

"Linda!" I called standing in front of the receptionist who had a scared expression on her face.

"Sir"

"Don't you ever let that woman into this company ever again"

She quickly bowed her head, unable to look straight into my angry eyes, "I am so sorry sir, I never knew she would come in here just to cost a scene, I am so sorry Sir, it won't..."

"Enough!" I said cutting through her words as the impatience in me grew like wildfire, "I am not here to listen to your flattering words, all I am here is to give you a warning and you must abide by it if you don't want to lose your job"

Great fear gripped her whole, her face overwhelmed with it.

"Okay sir" she quickly responded and I walked past her heading to the exit door. The security men in suits walked side by side with me and soon, I found myself out of the building heading towards my car which was parked in front of the building.

"Micheal!" I heard a loud voice behind me.

I turned around only to find the same lady standing not far away from the exit door, next to her was a young girl who stood innocently.

"She is your child Micheal, this is your child!" She screamed holding the hands of the little girl who began to cry.

Not wanting to associate more with the ongoing drama as her words were attracting the attention of passersby, I got into my car which zoomed off at once.

"Good day Father," I said as I walked into the multi-billionaire mansion owned by my father. Although I do have a house of my own, this period was a special one for my family, it was almost Thanksgiving so I decided to stay put until the holiday is over.

"You don't look too well Micheal" the voice of my father boomed across to me as I walked towards the stairs not wanting to take a look at him.

"I am fine father, just stressed from work"

"Stressed?" He asked very skeptically. "But it's just the early hours of the day and you are already stressed"

"Father" this time, I averted my gaze at him, a displeased look plastered sternly, "You know how tiring the company can be at times, you know better, all I need right now is a good rest, I will join you later"

My father gave me a disapproving look, of course, I know that he doesn't believe my words about being tired. Not wanting to say anything, he closed the magazine and placed it gently on a nearby glass table.

"What about the meeting with Dr. Charles of Dem company, it's just an hour to noon Micheal"

"Father, the meeting has been canceled, I have other necessary things to cover up and I don't see any bad effect postponing the meeting will have on the company, after all, Dr. Charles Company is the one coming to ask a favor from us concerning the company shares"

I watch my father's brow furred in deep puzzlement, "Canceled? What do you mean by this Micheal? I thought the whole arrangement was already made for Monday noon, why the sudden change or did Dr. Charkes call to inform you of the sudden change in plans?"

"No Father, I canceled the meeting myself, my secretary will inform him of the new arrangement, I need to leave now, I have other things to attend to"

Suddenly, a footstep alerted me, I averted my gaze to the direction the sound came from, and to my surprise, standing not far away from where I stood was a tall slim brunette with sharp blue eyes that caught my attention making me breathless.
