Chapter 90
**Logan**
“I think you should repeat yourself,” I say as I sit down and look at him “do keep in mind I’m your boss,” I say and he sits down at the other side of the table. He sighs and moves his hand to his mouth and look at the other four men in the room.
“When you left in June you were told a relationship wasn’t the best idea for you,” he says and I nod “and well we have looked into her background,” he says slowly and looks at me. He then looks down and then back at me “Given what she has been through we don’t think it is in your best interest to be with her,” he explains.
“I don’t care what you think,” I say and he sighs.
“We thought you may say that, that is why these were taken earlier today,” he says as he opens the brief case in front of him and takes out some papers. He slides them across the table to me and I look at them to see their pictures of Megan and me. One picture of us holding hands, one of us hugging and another of us kissing.
“Why are you showing me these?” I ask.
“I know how much you love living in America and teaching but these could make it so you can’t live in America and teach,” he says. I smile a little and shake my head. “We just think it would be so much easier if you ended it with her rather than us doing it for you,” he explains.
“You wouldn’t expose us no matter how much you want to,” I say and he raises an eyebrow “I’m the owner and it’s not going to look good for you who is the face of this company if it comes out that I’m seeing a student,” I explain and he sighs deeply. “Carry on...” I say.
“Well you’ll have to end it with her sooner or later as you have to come back to the company this year,” he explains “because of the recession we are losing money and will need you to attend all events to boost the company profit margins,” he explains.
“I still don’t have to break up with her, she can come back to England with me,” I say.
“You could but I’m sure you remember your parents relationship and how that was,” he explains. I sigh and look away from him “I thought you did,” he says “the travelling your father did and the cheating they both did,”
“We’re not like that,” I say.
“You’ve already cheated on the poor girl Logan,” he says and I look at him “her friend likes to talk,” he says.
“And your point,” I say and he smirks.
“You’re just like your father, he neglected your mother because of work and his own mistresses,” he explains. “And I’m sure you know why your mother cheated,” he says and I clench my fists. “It will end up the same, you will end up the same as them,” he explains and I sigh.
“You don’t know that,” I say “and I’m not like my father,” I say.
“No you’re more honest,” he says and I stand.
“I’ll tell you what we’ll make some cutbacks to get back the profit, we’ll start by letting some people go. Starting with you five,” I say with a smile and walk out of the meeting room. I wasn’t going to have him telling me what to do. I walk into the dining room to see Megan sat talking to Yasmin. I give her a small smile and walk towards the liquor cabinet and open it up.
“Are you been sneaky?” she asks.
“You could say that,” I say and pour myself some brandy.
“Logan you can’t be serious,” My uncle says walking in.
“I’m deadly serious, sacking you will save my company roughly about 1 and a half million a year,” I explain.
“If you sack me you will have to come back to England,” he says.
“No I won’t, I could find a five year old to do your job to be honest,” I say turning to look at him and he sighs.
“Ok, ok we’ll come to an understanding,” he says and I tilt my head at him as I take a sip of my drink “please come back inside,” he begs and I smirk a little.
“Ok,” I say and pick up the bottle of brandy. He looks at me and sighs and I follow him back to the meeting room but not before giving Megan a quick kiss.
**Megan**
“You two seem really relaxed and happy,” Yasmin says and I smile a little. She laughs at me “Aww that’s cute,” she says and I look down.
“Well things are going good for once,”
"I've noticed," she says.
"The only problem we have is Melanie, I don't understand why she's being the way she is. It's so annoying it's like she hates us being together," I say causing her to sigh and frown as if she's thinking.
"It's jealousy," she suddenly says and I frown “if I remember correctly she liked Logan for a while and I'm guessing she is a little bit jealous of you not him, you. The reason she takes it out on him is because she can't take it out on you," Yasmin explains. I frown at how weird yet logical it sounds.
"Maybe, I don't really want to think that about her because well she is my friend," I say and she nods showing she understands.
“I could be wrong, but let’s face it I’m never wrong,” she says with a small smile and I giggle. “Ok enough about that I want to know about you and Logan,” she says with a grin. I smile and look away from her and shake my head a little “c’mon there’s got to be something going on with you two tonight,” she says and my smile widens.
“I don’t know,” I say with a shrug of my shoulders. “I’ll have to tell you in the morning,” I say getting up and walk out of the dining room.
“Fine but you better tell me in detail,” she says walking up from behind me.
“What if nothing happens?” I ask and she smiles.
“If nothing happens then you’re off the hook but you have to tell me as soon as something does, I hate not being the first person to know things,” she says frowning at herself as she said the last bit.
**Logan**
I lean back in my chair and listen to them as they tell me how many cuts they need to make within the company. From what they have told me we need to make 500 job cuts and I don’t feel very confident in doing so. It seems cruel to sack people especially in this economy.
“If we want to make profit next year then these cuts are necessary,” my uncle says with a wide smile. I sigh and look away from him.
“Ok, how about we demote a few instead, obviously it would be more than five hundred but it would mean having people keep their jobs,” I suggest and he shakes his head. “Let me look over the data and statistics and I’ll tell you my decision on this in the morning,” I say and he sighs “next subject,” I say.
“Logan you can’t just keep dismissing things,” he says and I close my eyes.
“I don’t even want to be here,” I say and poor myself another drink. “So can we just move onto the next subject,” I say.
“Fine we have a prospective client on the phone,” he states and I groan in response this was great I’m going to be here for hours. There’s probably more than one client. Last time I was here he said there was only one client. It turned out to be 14 and I was stuck in a meeting room for days.
“I think I’m going to need more,” I say, shaking my glass towards my butler and he laughs a little at me.
