Chapter 2: Brains and beauty
Present day,
"What I would do to have you in my arms like this"
"You will never have to take desperate measures for I will forever be with you Sir".
"I have informed my assistant to do the needful, you should receive an alert anytime soon"
"Thank you sir "
"Wash yourself clean and come for dinner. I do not like my food cold".
"At once sir". Rosalia replied getting out of the bed with the intention to look presentable again.
Rosalia has been Mr David Walker 'restroom' as she normally calls herself.
He only needed her for a good release. She had met him five years ago when her mother fell ill- who is still sick till this very day- and she realized that her mothers' lessons about virtue would not save her mother from cancer as well as pay her college fees.
Thanks to Mr Davids' sexual interest in her, she has been able to pay her mother ever increasing medical bills and college which in turn, has given her the opportunity to work in one of Mr Davids' company with a fat salary excluding the personal allowance Mr David provided.
"Come my sweet and sit close to me". Or close to your reach and shameless ministrations,
Rosalia thought.
She obliged and sat close, taking a bite of her food, he asked "Is it to your liking? The food?"
"Yes, thank you".
Mr David smiled and devoured his food as well.
To her, this was living life unlike the way her mother taught her. She had money. Lots of it. With a man who is very much sexually interested in her, even if he may not love her and that was enough for her.
After their meal, Mr David led Rosalia into his study.
"You made a complaint about inadequate..." David trailed
"Yes. Inadequate funds to prepare a working environment for the recruits. Your office is yet to respond"
Rosalia replied calmly.
"There has not been enough cash in circulation but I will see what can be done".
Waving his hands, he added, "I did not invite you here to talk about work. I need your advice. I want to open a branch in Singapore''.
"Singapore?", she asked.
"Yes, I thought of it and decided to extend to Asia".
She assimilated his words and asked quietly, "What do you intend to sell?"
"You tell me. What do you think will survive in that kind of place?", David questioned.
Rosalia thought of things for a few minutes, the economy in Singapore is very conducive, depending on the commodity he would be exposing the market to. So she asked, "What age group are you targeting?"
"I do not know yet. Tell me, what do you think will attract people"
She replied cleverly, "Try selling things in vogue and see how things go from there. You can include beauty products and you can also create a Spa with new innovations and a clothing store"
David smirked and thanked her with a chaste kiss.
That was one of the main reasons why he stuck to her all these years. She's brilliant, always giving him brilliant ideas to take his business to the next level.
...
Rosalia got home early the next day. She took her bath first before heading to the kitchen to heat up something to pass for breakfast.
Since it was a Sunday and she had no friends to visit other than her mother, who for some reasons preferred to stay at a nursing home than her daughter's condo.
She's not one to believe in God, so she rarely goes to church. She only attended when her mother literally dragged her to the house of God.
Rosalia took a short nap. She woke up around midday and felt the need to play some music and that was exactly what she did.
She opened her violin case, grabbed favorite music note, even though she knew the note by heart and played nicely.
In the evening, she made chicken fritters and ate in front of her Tv, listening to some sappy actors 'playhouse'.
Rosalia lives a boring life but she enjoys every single second of it. She had no close relative other than her mamma. She keeps people at an arm's length and rarely goes to parties. Except she has to go strictly for work.
She finds it hard to trust people. She trusts nobody. Her father's death still haunted her. The thought of someone betraying her hurts a lot.
...
Raising his glass to his lips, he took a sip and chuckled before smashing it hard on the wall. The Don was angry. He had lost drugs worth a billion dollars to his underboss. Again.
Walking to his chair, he sat tensed for a second before leaning on his chair and spoke calmly,
"Pour me another drink"
Once the drink was set in his palm, he said, "you are dismissed".
Bowing his head a little in respect, his underlying left quietly.
Once he heard the door shut, his childhood friend spoke, "We have to do something"
The Don cleared his throat and said,"Let's see how this goes".
