Feisty and Arrogant – Part l

“Wëllkomm, Papp.” Gerbert stepped out of the car in the hotel foyer, Onyx welcomed him with a polite bow. (Welcome, Father.)
"Gutt dech ze gesinn, Jong." Gerbert said as they hugged. (Good to see you, son,)
"Selwecht hei, Papp. Komm mir ginn dobannen." Onyx led Gerbert to his penthouse at the top of the opulent building. (Same here, Father. Let's go inside.)

Onyx and Gerbert sat down in Onyx's office after some refreshments.
"Father, I went over everything regarding the company. And I don't think it's wise to invest such a significant sum of money there." Onyx remarked this while clasping his hands on the top of the wooden table.
"It might not be, but I'm going to invest regardless. I would perhaps invest more in the future." Gerbert stated solemnly,
"Of course, you can, If the company survives that is."
"Anyhow, this is not why I came to see you." Gerbert began speaking as he rose from his chair. "You will accompany me to the meeting tomorrow. I can handle everything on my own, but you're going for another reason." When Gerbert glanced around, he noticed Onyx frowning. "And that is?" Onyx inquired.
"You will be meeting the daughter of one of my friends. I wish for you to date and marry her." Gerbert stated severely, and Onyx stood up, pushing the chair behind him with anger. "I'm not going to do something like that! How dare you ask me to marry another girl!" Gerbert's eyes hardened as Onyx growled in anger.
"Watch your tone boy!" Gerbert hissed but he calmed himself down and said again. "Because you're thirty years old and getting older by the day. I want you to settle down."
"I don't look a day older than 21!" He exclaimed, Gerbert looked at Onyx with frigid eyes, and Onyx looked down.
"You can't stay alone forever, and that's something I don't want for you." Gerbert calmly said,
"I'm not alone, I have a girlfriend!"
"You call that woman your girlfriend? As far as I'm aware, you solely use her for your s*exual pleasure. That is fine with me as long as the woman is willing to let you, but that is not the point. You're meeting Mason's daughter, and if she agrees, the two of you will marry!"
"I'm not going to marry her!" Onyx pleaded desperately, and Gerbert narrowed his eyes. "You don't even know her!"
"I-I can't marry her, Father! You think I can be happy if I ever find the one after marriage?" Gerbert sighed as Onyx inquired.
"If she existed, you would have found her." Gerbert felt horrible the moment he watched Onyx's face flare up with pain. He moved in front of Onyx with long strides and placed his hand on Onyx's shoulder.
"I didn't intend to say it in that way. Look, son, you looked everywhere for her for years and couldn't find her. And it hurt me to see you grow through that kind of agony. Please meet the girl I've chosen for you; if you don't like her, I won't force you into the marriage." Onyx nodded in response to his father's words and Gerbert smiled. "I'm going to get some rest now. See you in the morning." Gerbert walked away after encouragingly patting him on the shoulder.

The morning came before Onyx knew it, and after a quick shower, he dressed in one of his finest suits. Even if he isn't very interested, he should dress in a way that will leave an imprint on the girls' minds. After breakfast Gerbert and Onyx got into their and car were on their way to AEM Holdings.

Onyx and Gerbert entered the building, accompanied by Gerbert's secretary Hannah. They exited the elevator on the top floor and headed down the hallway to the CEO's office. Onyx's phone rang, and he took it out to see Lilian's name flash across the screen.
"Excuse me, Father." Gerbert nodded at him as he took the call and paused to speak while his father and Hannah neared the office room.

"Yes, Lilian?"
"What the f*uck is she doing here?" Onyx hissed, his face curved with fury.
Onyx groaned and proceeded towards the office, saying, "I'm out on business, tell her that, and also tell her not to call and disturb me."
Gerbert entered the office, and Hannah came to a halt outside the door. Onyx said as he approached the door. "Yeah, prepare those files and I'll be departing tonight," He hung up the phone and walked in through the wooden door. His eyes widened and his mouth slightly dropped, when he saw her smiling face. His gaze darted over her figure, which was dressed in a white suit and black shirt, with her hair down in a half-updo and his breath slightly hitched. 'How does she manage to look so edible in everything!' Was the thought running across his mind.

Ophelia's eyes widened when she noticed him, and he noticed her face turn bright crimson with rage.
"You!" They both spoke in unison, but her voice was filled with anger and his was filled with astonishment.
Gerbert and Mason looked at them in confusion,
"You guys know each other?" Mason and Gerbert asked in unison, staring at each other with puzzled expressions. Onyx entered, closing the door behind him
"Yes, Sir. We have met each other." Ophelia clenched her jaw as Onyx nonchalantly said with a small smirk on his lips.
"I suppose you forgot everything about that day to say we met so casually."
"The ache is still there," Onyx murmured as Ophelia gritted her teeth. They stared at each other, Gerbert coughed, and Onyx turned to face his father and Mason.
"For about two weeks, Captain Ophelia here piloted my jet." He informed them, and they all nodded.
"More like you forced me to fly your plane, you arrogant bastard!" Gerbert and Mason's heads snapped towards her and their eyes widened as Ophelia exclaimed through gritted teeth. Gerbert was astounded by how nonchalantly she referred to his eldest as an arrogant bastard, and Mason was mortified. While Onyx stared at her with narrowed eyes.
Ophelia glared him down, forgetting about everyone else in the room; she was so outraged that she wished she could kick him in the nuts again and bruise his perfect little face. She admits that she had bad-mouthed him, but he went too far by disrespecting her father.
Rich laughter filled the room, "I knew you two would make an outstanding couple!" Ophelia's head snapped towards Gerbert as he spoke.
"Couple?" She inquired, and Onyx nodded his head. "What is it that you're nodding your head for?" She snarled at him.
"With a feisty wife and an arrogant husband, I can only imagine how their children will turn out." Gerbert laughed and slapped Mason on the shoulder, while Mason nervously chuckled.
"See, Mason, I told you we should get them married." Gerbert laughed and slapped Mason on the shoulder, and Ophelia's head snapped to her father, who stiffened in his spot.
