Kill joy
"sir Campbell, you have a meeting with Mr. Donovan, it is the breakfast meeting which I told you about last Friday, it will begin in thirty minutes tine." I heard Sophie say the moment I entered my office.
"where is my coffee." I asked ignoring what she said, "I'll bring sir." she went out of my office and came back later with a cup of office.
"what does Mr. Donovan want to talk about? did his PA say anything?" I took a sip from the coffee, she said
"he has a business proposal, he wants you to make a game for him. Since Mr. Donovan deals with toys, he wants you to make a game using one of his newest invention" I took another sip from my coffee, finally placing the cup down I said
"tell the driver to get ready, I'll be coming down in a minute." she left, I know am just from the house but I can't resist the urge to check up on Amaya. This girl is the third woman I'll ever care for, she is different from the others and I just love her doing things, she is not like the other girls who fake stuffs.
"hello," I heard her tired voice, I wonder why she is tired so early in the morning. "hello Amaya, how are you doing?" I asked, she didn't say anything for a while, all I could hear was the sound of her breathing.
"what do you want Mason? you just saw me few minutes ago before you left for work." she sigh, a chuckle left my lips.
"I know, why do you sound so tired?" I asked
"I feel sleepy, I know I just woke up but I still feel sleepy." I chuckled, it is normal for her to feels this way.
"you should get some rest, I can't have you falling sick." she hummed and hang up, I finish my cup of coffee and went out to meet Sophie and my driver.
I got in and the driver kick start, we got there and I went on like the other time, not caring if Sophie is behind me or not.
"Mr. Campbell this please, Mr. Donovan has been waiting for you." a waitress took me to the private booth where Donovan was. "good morning Mr. Campbell," Donovan stood up to shake my hand but I ignored his stretch hand, I don't shake hands with people who can't offer me something I don't have.
"morning." I took my seat opposite him, he looked angry but he concealed it with a tight smile. Sophie came in, she took a seat next to us on a different table.
"So Mr. Donovan, what is there for you to offer? I know you want us to make a game for you using one of your toys, what will you offer me?" I tilt my head to the side and gauge his expression waiting for him to tell me something my ears will love to hear.
"okay, I am going to offer you twenty million for making the game and when the came has been lunched, I am going to give you five million more." I chuckled left my lips, a humorless chuckle.
"so your going to pay me twenty five million to create a game for you? It seems like your not serious with what you want, I earn a billion every month, what is twenty five million? I don't do business with people who are not serious. When your serious and mean business, contact me." and with that, I stood up and left, not giving him the chance to say more.
People can be stupid, if you want to make business with me, you ought to come well prepared because else I won't give you chance.
Sophie and I returned to the company "what else is there for me? do I have other meetings?" she checked the notebook on her hand and shook her head before opening her mouth to say,
"no sir, there are documents which you have to look at and signed." I nod.
"send them to my house, I'll work from home. Oh and ask the production team how far have they gone with Fast Shoot, I need to know when to launch it." with that, I left and went home.
My normal day routine is slowly changing, I got in the car and the driver took me home. Luckily for Baron, he was there before I could open the door. "welcome Master Mason.". he took my jacket.
"where are Lydia and Amaya?" I look around but couldn't find them in the sitting room,it looks like it is going to rain, the sky is turning dark.
"Miss Lydia is in her room while Mrs. Campbell is in the garden." I took a turn to the garden, Amaya can't be out there, it is getting cold and will rain soon.
I got there and found her sitting on the bench with a white rose in her hand "hey," she turned and look at me with a smile on her face.
"your back early, any problem?" she ask me , I took a seat next to her "I didn't have anything serious to do there so o I decided to come home. You should come inside, it will rain soon." she shook her head.
"I don't want to, I love the rain." she said, stubborn, I pray our child don't come out with that character of hers.
"You go in, I don't want you falling sick." I smiled, liking the fact that she cares about me, our friendship is moving well.
"I'll stay here with you." she took the white rose to her nose and inhale "suit yourself." minutes later, the sky took another dimension, it rain heavily. I have a weak system and I can easily catch a cold but I can't go in leaving her here.
"let's go in Amaya." she stood up, instead of going towards the house, she stretch out her hand to let the rain droplets fall in her palms, she closed her eyes.
"isn't the rain beautiful? I love the Way it feels on my body." she twirl herself and laugh "yeah it is beautiful but you can get ill if you stay out here for long." she open her eyes, staring at me with a bored look "such a kill joy." she muttered before walking to the direction of the house.
