Chapter 5 Adalyn

• Blake's point of view:
• I got to my office and started working immediately.
• I had a lot of files before me that needed to be solved. My secretary resigned due to the fact that she just got married and she relocated to another state with her newly wedded husband.
• My door opened and Adalyn came in swaying her hips seductively.
• She sat on one of my guest chairs.
• "Good morning." I told her as I looked back at my computer.
• "Good morning, baby." She said sexily.
• Adalyn is a model who is just getting recognized all over the world through my influence.
• "I called you here so that I can discuss something with you." I told her while typing away on my laptop.
• "What's that? Was that the reason you chased me out of your house? You didn't reply to my texts, you didn't pick up my calls. I just wanted to check on you. I love you, babe and I want you forever." She said as she stood up and came over to me. She pushed my laptop to one side and sat on the desk showing me her cleavage.
• "I didn't see your texts and calls. I slept so early yesterday's night." I told her.
• "Oh! My baby. I hope you are alright." She said as she touched my forehead.
• I nodded at her.
• "So why did you call me?" She asked as she started playing with my buttons.
• "I have a huge contract before me but I don't think I can have it because of the stupid condition." I lied to her.
• That is not the true reason. No contractor wants to give me any contract but if I tell her it is because of some properties. She will surely agree. So I want to know if she is a good digger or not.
• "What's the condition?" She asked.
• "That I should get married " I told her.
• "Marriage. Babe, you know I am not ready for one. And moreover how can our marriage be interesting when we are not even close enough. You don't open up to me. Your child doesn't like me." She snarled.
• "We can sort all that out. Just agree first." I carried on to reason with her.
• "I don't think that is possible. I have a lot of shows I must attend. My debut show is coming up next week. How can I even get married when I am just at the beginning of my career. Babe, just convince them to give you. Do they even know who you are? You are Blake Owen, one of the richest men in the state." She said.
• "You're not interested?" I asked her.
• "No, I am not. I have to go. My manager just called. Anyway I have to tell you that I am traveling for about two months. I will be back to you babe, I love you." She got down from the desk, took her purse and went out of my office.
• Fuck!
• I knew she was not going to do that.
• She is a gold digger. After everything I have done to help her career she couldn't even save me to boost my business.
• Now what?
• I don't have any female that I can ask to marry me.
• I wished I could ask Willow to marry me, I have always admired her decency. But she is my employee. And I have strict rules about my employees. They are off limits.
• What can I do now? Who should I ask for a deal? At least for a year.
• My employees are strictly off. Should I just hire?
• If I don't get that property from my bank, there is no way I am going to impress my Asian investors.
• Now, I am tired and fed up. I don't even know what to do.
• I called my uncle again.
• "Hello, Uncle." I said as he picked up.
• "How are you, Blake?" He asked.
• "Is there no other way I could access the property without marital status?" I ignored the question.
• "You know how banks are strict with that kind of thing. They will never leave it until they confirm you are married." He said.
• "Please my Asian investors want something higher and greater and that property is the only thing I can show them for now." I explained.
• "I don't know what to do, Blake." He sighed.
• "I can't find any girl. Adalyn just left me after I told her about it." I told him.
• "So you don't have any girl that can marry you instantly after you tell her. As handsome as you are. Shame on you. That was the reason I told you to start living your life after the incident but you chose to continue grieving." He said.
• "Please don't go into that." I pleaded with him.
• "That's it. The bank won't give us the property until you have that Marital status. I have to go now." He hung up after that.
• I slammed my hand against my desk.
• This is bullshit!
• Someone knocked on my door.
• "Come in" I yelled and the person came in. It was the Manager of human resource management.
• "Yes?" I asked him.
• "Tomorrow is the interview for the recruitment of the new secretary and personal assistant. I just said I should remind you about it." He said.
• "I haven't forgotten. I still remember vividly. Thank you. You can leave now." I dismissed him and he left.
• I busied myself with work and when it was closing time, I went straight home and drank myself to stupor.
• I forgot about my son at that moment....
