Kapitel 11: Chapter 11

"Cam! Do you know who that was?!"

I turn to her in puzzle. "I should ask you that instead. I hope you understood that he's the guy from…"

"That's' Niklaus McDonalds!" She cut me off.

"Yes, of course that's… Wait, how do you know his last name?"

"Oh come on girl, who doesn't know Niklaus's surname? He is from the McDonalds fucking family, girlfriend!"

"Well it's obvious I do not know who the McDonalds family is Alice and does it even matter?"

Alice's eyes grow wide at my question. "Are you being serious right now?" She shakes her head. "Okay, let me brief you on it. That guy just now is this guy here." She place her phone screen in front of my eyes and I stare at the picture of Niklaus standing beside a serious looking woman and then my eyes move down to the writings under the picture. It says "The new CEO of Leonald Electronics has finally decided to take a new step that his father did not and make changes to Leonald Electronic Company. His mother, Kayla McDonalds who has been holding the company firmly after her husband, Chairman Leonard McDonalds, passed away, says that her son is going to do great things that her husband could not…"

"They own such huge company?"

Alice takes from the phone away from my face and nods her head. "Yes. They also manage a lot of other things that does not even have to do with electronics like hotels, resorts, gas stations and lots more. It's really huge and it's impossible that you do not know of it but then again, you are very outdated. His mother, Kayla McDonalds, is a very ambitious woman and the media says she does not joke with her family business. In conclusion, his family is filthy wealthy and their generation to come can never be poor."

I gulp, "He's that rich?" From the size of his house and the car he drove that night, I expected him to be from a rich background but I didn't know he would be this rich. According to what was written in that article Alice showed me, Leonald Company is the best electronic company in the country and one of the top five in the world. The market worth is over 500 billion dollars!

"Cam!" Alice's voice brings me back to reality and I turn to her.

"Yes?" I answer her

"What are you thinking about? Are you that shocked?"

I sigh, "I am just…" Alice reaches for my hand.

"Tell me, what were the two of you talking about?" Alice smiles at me.

I shake my head and start walking away. "It's not important."

"What do you mean it's not important?" Alice asks as she runs after me. "You actually added him on meetgram in front of me girlfriend."

I sigh heavily as I continue to walk towards where Alice had parked her car. "He said he wants to act as my play boyfriend at the reunion."

"He's going with you to the reunion as your boyfriend?" The tone of her voice tells me she's getting excited. Oh, Alice.

"As my fake boyfriend, Alice. I can't have such an ass as my boyfriend please."

"He didn't look like an ass to me though and he's rich."

I shake my head, "Of course he won't look like one to you because he's rich and handsome, Alice. He's exactly your type."

She laughs and quickly walks over to the driver's seat. I open the car door of the front seat and slide into the car.

"I honestly do not know why he wants to play as my boyfriend…" I start to say as Alice starts the car. "I know it would be a great benefit on my part but what would he gain from doing that?"

Alice shrugs, "Well, he could be that he just wants to do it out of freewill or he must have been charmed by you and would love to fuck again."

"Oh my goodness, Alice!"

She makes an innocent face, "What? I am just saying."

I shake my head, "There's no way that's going to happen, I am not fucking him again."

I see a wide grin creep on her face, "You are allowed to do what your body wants, Cam. We only live once you know. It's better you fuck him than to keep crying over some loser."

"No one is fucking anybody, Alice and that's on period."

She shrugs, "Okay but just in case you change your mind; you have my full support baby."

This girlfriend of mine!

I smile at her, "Thank you for your full support but I would not need it."

She shakes her head, "We'll see."

~NIKLAUS'S POV~

I did not expect to meet her at the gas station of all places, even though I never expected to even see her again. I was both surprised and pissed at the same time to see her face again. Despite thinking so hard, I still couldn't find a valid reason as to why she sneaked out on me. Well, now I am going to find out and she better have a valid one.

I thought my day was already ruined because I was returning from the company and was exhausted and pissed as hell but meeting her kinda distracted me from that. As I continue to drive down the street to my house, I reach for my phone and open my meetgram account. I quickly send her a text asking when the reunion is taking place. I didn't even think about that, I just hope I would not be having any unwanted company matters that day? Everything about it is unwanted anyway.

My phone binges and I glance at it thinking it's her but not only am I disappointed at who the text is from but my mood becomes sour. I don't need to open Carlos's text to know what it is. Fucking hell.

I don't bother opening the text and simply continue driving home. After a few minutes, I arrive at my house after parking my car at the garage, I throw my keys to my servant before walking towards the entrance but a very familiar tall figure in an all white cargo trouser and jacket leaning against the wall, shocks me. This motherfucker!

"What the bloody hell, Lester?!" I stand staring at my best friend in surprise.

He smiles widely and adjusts his glasses before walking to me with his hands in his pockets. "Surprised?"

I shake my head and cannot help but smile. "You bastard. Why didn't you tell me you were back? You didn't come on the day you were supposed to come."

He shrugs, "If I had done that, I wouldn't have seen that surprised look on your face and would not have felt so satisfied."

I shake my head and hugs him and just as we let go of each other, I snatch his glasses away from his eyes and quickly walk into inside.

"What the… Oh come on, Nils!"

I grin widely, "That's what you get for not telling me you were already back."

He moves his hair away from his face to the back and sighs placing his hands on his waist. "When are going to stop doing that, Nils? Stop stealing my glasses for goodness sake."

I chuckle, "Oh come one, I don't steal them. I just have a little fun taking away your source of sight for some moment."

He smiles and shakes his head before slumping into the sofa and crossing his leg over the other. I walk over to meet him and take my seat on the sofa opposite him before throwing his glasses to him which he catches in a swift. Just then, my phone starts to ring and glancing at it, I heave a sigh. Since I ignored his text, I expected he was going to call.

"Do you miss so much that you cannot stay without me for a second, Carlos? What the fuck do you want?"

I am sure he's adjusting his oversize glasses right now. "Sir… I really did not want to disturb you but your attention is really needed at the office. It's really urgent."

I roll my eyes and sigh again, "I thought everything was settled before I left?"

"There's a problem with the new televisions that were made and the contract with…"

"Fine fine! I I will get there soon." I hang up before throwing the phone on the sofa and it bounces up almost falling off the chair.

"Company problem?" I hear Lester ask and I slowly turn to him.

"You have no idea what I'm going through." I shake my head.

"You will be fine." He smiles at me. I have known Lester for a long time now and the dude is always smiling, always having a bright face on regardless of the situation. Even during times when he's going through a lot, he would always keep a smiling façade and pretend like he's alright even though he's dying inside. That's Lester for you, always pulling through life with a bright face. Sometimes, I wish I can wear a façade perfectly like he does.

Then, my phone binges and I glance at it. She finally replied. My eyes scroll through the text; IT'S TWO DAYS FROM NOW BY 6PM. NOW, I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU ARE WILLING TO ACT AS MY BOYFRIEND? WHAT DO YOU WANT? YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

I grin at the text and shake my head. What girl would not want me to act as her boyfriend? Only a girl not in her right senses would question my offer and this one right here is definitely not in her right senses. I type back; HOW ABOUT I SAY I HATE BETRAYALS AND LIARS AND IT WOULD BE FUN TO SEE THE SHOCK AND DISBELIEF IN THEIR FACES. She texts back after a few seconds; ARE YOU THAT JOBLESS? YOU WILL DEFINITELY ASK FOR SOMETHING BACK IN RETURN BUT LET ME LET YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE YOU. YOU AGREED TO DO THIS ON YOUR ACCORD SO I OWE YOU NOTHING.

I smile and shake my head before putting away my phone and when I raise my head, my eyes meet Lester's curious ones.

"What's making you smile like that, Nils? Spill it now." He stands up from where he sits and moves over to where I am and tries to snatch the phone but I quickly spring up from the chair before he does.

"It's nothing of your concern."

He nods, "Wow, I will assume you are in love then." He folds his hands across his chest.

I almost puke when I hear him say that, "Love? What the hell is that, man?"

Lester smiles, "So?"

I shrug before returning to the sofa. "It's nothing important."

Just then, butler Stevenson walks over to us.

"Should we prepare something, Sir Niklaus?" He asks bowing his head a little.

I shake my head, "Don't worry about that, I will be returning to the office soon but you can make something for Lester."

Lester shakes his head, "No no, don't worry about that, I'm good."

Butler Stevenson nods his head, "Alright Sir." He turns around and walks away.

"Wow, so you're the workaholic CEO now. What have I missed?"

"Don't you use the internet? Don't get me started; I am already at my edge."

He chuckles, "The witch is after your life I see."

I heave a sigh and shake my head, "She's hell bent on making my life miserable."

We all refer to my mother as the witch because obviously, that's who she is. My sister calls her that and even the employees at the company though all they do is murmur among their selves but I'm not stupid. Lester joined in calling her that when she made his father find out that he's been attending art school.

Lester sighs, "You good?" He asks, this time in a serious tone. I look at him and force a smile. Even though Lester is going through things far harder and bigger than mine, he never stopped caring and looking out for me. He's the only who cares enough to ask me if I'm good because he knows well that I'm not, no one ever asks me that. I should be the one asking Diana if she's good and not even the other way round because she's my little sister and she's only got me to care.

I nod my head, "I have to be."

He moves closer to me and places a hand on my shoulder, "I'm sure it would get better." He quickly peaks at my phone before I even realize it.

"Oh Come on Lester!"

"Who's Camille, Nils? I know you very well; you never chat with your conquests."

I shut my eyes and sigh. He's right; I never waste any time chatting with any woman I sleep with. I find it to be a waste of my time since all we do is fuck. What more do we want to talk about? If there's anything for us to talk about, it would be none other than about the location where we should fuck at and I have someone who can communicate that to them. Camille and I also hooked up for one night so she is no different from the others but for some reason, I feel the urge to hook up with her again which have never happened before, I do not repeat the same woman, it would be boring. I just cannot seem to get enough of this one and it's baffling.

"Who's got you wrapped up in their fingers?" I break away from my thought and turn to Lester's grinning face. He's so enjoying this, this mother fucker.

"Nobody's got me wrapped up, okay? It's just some girl I hooked up with it."

"What has she done to make you use your 'precious'…" He emphasizes the 'precious'. "…time to chat with her?"

"She sneaked out on me." I say with a frown like a pouting child. I don't know if it's because no woman has ever done that to me before but I just cannot seem to get over the fact that she wanted nothing else to do with me again when other women would do anything for me to call them over again after a hook up which has never happened anyways.

"Whhhaaatt?" Lester says amidst laughter. "Wait, you mean to say you two hooked up and she sneaked out on you?"

"That's correct."

Lester looks at me in disbelief, "Wow, someone's ego has been hurt." He laughs again.

"Do you want this to be the last time you will laugh?" I threaten frowning at him and he covers his mouth with his hands to muffle his laughter.

He finally stops laughing, "I would love to meet her. She has no idea what she has done. Someone has finally broken that ego of yours. But what does it have to do with you pretending to be her boyfriend?"

I look at him in surprise; how the fuck did he read that so fast?

"You should be an interviewer instead of a writer, suits you better." I shake my head at him. "I don't even know why I agreed to do that." My phone starts to ring and I don't even need to look at it to know that it's Carlos.

"I have to return to the office, this people won't let me be until I'm there. We'll talk about you later; you have a lot to tell me."

Lester smiles, "Alright. I actually have somewhere to be by the way."

I nod my head, "I'll see you later. My keys!"

One of my servants rushes over and hands one of my car keys to me and I quickly rush out to my garage.

XOXO
