Chapter 22

"I don't care how hard you have worked,I'm just not going to give up this position for you!" she shouted, facing down. She turned slowly and sat down on her feet .
She was acting as if something entered her eyes and it worked because Herry thought exactly that!.

"I won't let you take what I've worked so hard to get"he said taking some steps backwards.

"Let's wait Mr Herry and see who comes out victorious"she said and haves her seat after she had calm herself down.

"I didn't come here to not agree on something" Herry said, crossing his legs.

"Well you're not acting like you're ready to negotiate." Lisa muttered and rolled her eyes. She was already calm and she was back to her cold self.
"Negotiate?" Herry was surprised to hear that word from her and he felt like laughing hard .
" you're the one not ready to negotiate,I'm just trying to look out for you..
You are a woman, you should focus on getting a home and bearing children for your man not trying to get a position you can't handle"he said resting his hand on the table. He was really in to tease her. He hated the word himself... he hated when someone cut women off in the society but he loved to tease Lisa with it and her reaction always amused him.

"If at all I want to step down,I won't for you because I need to change your narrow mentality towards ladies"?she said and took her bag and walked out of the office..

Herry stared at her retreating back for a while before he chuckled. " Its fun to have you around, Miss Lisa." He mumbled to himself with a sweet smile.

=========
Herry was sitting in the VIP lounge alongside Ray,his buddy. They don't have work to do today so they had all the day to play and at night, they would both have the women they wanted.

"What the hell man! I can't just stop thinking about that jerk! He has so much gut that is giving me the thrills!." Ray muttered with excitement as he gulped down his glass of wine.


The two were at a bar they would usually attend once in a blue moon when they had the chance to. They were both VIPs there and they were highly repected mostly because they both had the biggest share in the big hotel..

Herry wasn't in the mood to talk about that jerk as all he could think about was how to defeat him and make the man kneel in front of him, begging for mercy.

He wanted to enjoy himself today and face the real deal tomorrow. He was going to attack back and his attack would be one that would shock the jerk!.
His eyes darted back and forth across the lounge as he suddenly felt like Lisa was in the room but she was nowhere to be found and he chuckled at his own action.
" Why am I thinking about her right now?" He asked himself inwardly and smiled.

"A glass of brandy, please!"" He requested and turned toward Ray who nodded at him.
" Two please!" He requested again and the waitress replied.

It was served to them in minutes and they both sipped it.

'Sapphirre..' She was a fun being and someone he was growing likeness for. He saw her as someone very tender that he wanted to protect and see smiling all the time... but why?

" Wait! Are you thinking about Lisa right now?" Ray asked him with a raised brow.
Herry turned to him and smiled.

Just then, a lady walked up to Herry,
She was putting on Avery short black gown and her makeup was more than required but she was still beautiful.

She walked seducely towards Herry with her hands at her side like a seductive queen.
"Hey handsome!"she said rubbing her hand on Herry's back seductively.

Herry was puzzled for a while before he turned around and looked at her with his eyes full of disgust. It was so strange to him and irritating that he felt like he was going to kill someone.
What he hated the most in his life was unwanted ladies throwing themselves at him and it disgust him when they had the gut to even touch him!.
"Who the hell are you?"Herry said, jerking her hand off his body. He looked around to see where the securities were and that was when he remembered that he always sent them away whenever he visited the VIP so that he could have a secured and relaxing conversations with his friends.

"Calm down little devil, I'm just trying to be your friend"she said bending purposely so as to expose her breasts .

But instead Herry pushed her off
"Get off me!t"he said pushing her hand away.
" Why are you so stoic?" The lady asked coyly as she walked a little closer to him. She was so dumb that she didn't realize how much danger she was with what she was doing.
Ray, who had been laughing all this while decided it was time to interfere and he immediately sent a quick Message to the body guards.
" Take her away and lock her up for two days!" Ray commanded the men and they took the lady away.

Herry scoffed and continued with his drink. Unknowing to him that he just got another star from someone who was looking at her from a far.
" He is such a sweet man!" Lisa mumbled to herself and smiled sweetly! She had tensed her hand when she saw the lady walking up to him and she was glad when she saw the way Herry had treated her. She would have taught the girl some lesson if she wasn't taken away!.

" some girls are so dumb and definitely don't know who to mess with and who not to." Herry muttered with coldness in his voice.

" Really!"Ray agreed!

Herry was disgusted by all that happened with that lady and he no longer had the urge to stay in the hotel bar any longer.

the girl was filthy... How dare she touch him?!

However, he knew he had to calm down and not let the lady spoil his good mood.
What if the whole thing was planned by Lisa?" He thought but then he thought against it.
Lisa was never like that and she had nothing to win from a petty thing like this.


"Make sure the bills are settled... I need to get get home. My head is aching." He told Ray as he dropped the glass in his hand.

He stood up from his seat and made to walk out when Ray spoke up playfully.

"Are you drunk?" Ray asked with a playful smirk.

"Really?? Is that even a question or are you doubting my alcoholic tolerance?" Herry retorted.

Without turning to look back at him, Herry walked out of the bar.

Ray sighed after he left. He wanted to tease him so that he could sit down back and they could drink more but Herry was so angry that his trick didn't work on him. He was always like that when silly ladies do things like this to him and Ray knew He needed to sort it out himself...

He couldn't help him out and he trusted that Herry would overcome that weakness one day too.

" You're strong minded my dear friend and I'm sure you will soon get used to being touched by ladies like that very soon. Even sooner than I imagine..." He mumbled and chuckled.
********
Herry knew he had to make the jerk step out one way or the other but he was still planning on that.

He told Ray to arrange a rendezvous with Lisa.
He intended to do everything possible to convince her to work with him so that they could both work together to capture the man p .However he knew this was almost impossible.
"Where should the location be, sir?"Ray asked while trying to make reservations.

"I don't know" Herry replied nonchalant. Why should he care about where he was going to meet that big head?
"Maybe a five star hotel?" he asked while working on his laptop without battling an eye at Ray.

"Okay then, sir.it will be ready very soon. " Ray replied, turning to leave.

"Text me the location chosen whenyou do please!"" He said, finally raising his head to look at Ray for the first time during their conversation.

"We still haven't gotten information sir, it's way difficult than we thought I think we have an imposter because our every step is usually known so they cover up their tracks before we get any meaningful information"he said while at the door and Herry sighed.

" Well... Keep trying okay, I must know their hide out in a week, okay?"he said calmly and returned to his laptop. He was truly busy and Ray understood that because he too had a lot to do and more to complete.

"We will, sir"Ray replied and left the office with the files hanging lazily in his hand.
