The surprise meeting
When mr. Wyatt get home that night, he unbuttoned his top and greeted his maid. " Good evening Martha,".
She laughs, "Now Seth, isn't it late to be saying good evening? It's like 11pm." Seth sits at the counter with a smirk on his face. She gasps, " Oh my god. You went on a date didn't you?"
He chuckles, "No! I didn't I just ate dinner with my new assistant ."
She relaxes, "New huh? You must like her already if you already took her out and stayed out this late."
"She is...definitely more Outspoken than the The other assistants that I have worked with. " mr. Wyatt says as he drinks his water.
"What is she like?"
"She is smart, She really cares for others, She had my back since day 1. Shoot she stood against my brother. I had to stop her myself. But she also isn't intimidated by me."
Immediately what comes to mind was when she barely could look at him because of her holding his hand. Or even the other time where she laughing hysterically at him when the guy peed on the subway. Not to mention when she grabbed his sleeve asking him if he was okay.
He chuckles at the thought, "She is cute."
Martha smile grows, "Well! I hope to meet this woman one day. She sounds like someone you need. Anything to help you stand up to your God awful brother."
" She will do just fine against Damien."
Martha smiles, "'Make sure you get some rest I left a snack."
Mr. Wyatt nods as she leaves, "Have a good night Martha."
Martha leaves as Seth pulls out his phone to look at a text from his Mother from earlier.
Step Mom: I can't take it anymore. Im divorcing your father. When can you get here?
He sighs heavily.
Seth: I can come tomorrow. I'll call you when I leave the house.
He gets up. He wonders what MJ is up to. His phone rings and sees his brother Damien's name pop up.
"what?"
"Im assuming our step mother messaged you."
"Why wouldn't She??"
"Dad intends on keep 100% and i'm making sure it happens."
Seth closes his eyes and reminds himself to breathe. No wonder mother sound concerned on the phone.
"You are so predictable." I say annoyed. "What wouldn't you do to get dad's attention?"
"How's Malorie?"
He immediately tensed up, "Don't say her name." He says angrily almost at a point at growling. He never even said his first name let alone her abbreviated name.
"Oooo we are getting protective now?" Damien chuckles.
"Im not going to talk to you about her."
"You know she left her apartment? She seemed pretty upset too... Practically in tears." Seth wondered if that happened after he left her house. He wondered why she didn't reach out to him but then again they aren't that close. He doesn't even call her by her first name.
But what was concerning was how did Damien know this and he didn't. He is watching her and the thought scared him more because he knows where she lives.
"Damien. I swear you if you so much as touch her-"
"You'll what? Kill me?" Seth wants to rip him from limb to limb. He takes a deep breath. "You wouldn't especially if you want your precious assistant to stay around you. Wouldn't want to witness that bad temper of yours." Immediately Seth something started to hurt. Something that has always haunted him was that fact there was always a small part of him he couldn't control. The part of Dominant Alpha he always tried to hide.
He hangs up immediately and literally felt the urge to call Ms. Prescott." He stops right before hitting the call button. He looks at the time.
12:03am
There is no way he could call her now.
He will wait in the afternoon. Damien wouldn't do anything this soon. He can talk to her about what happened after he left and to come up with a solution to make sure she is safe.
The next morning he woke up, got ready to drive over to see his mother.
He calls his mother.
"Hey, seth."
"Hey. I am almost there. "
"Oh Seth. It's horrible."
"I have an idea as to why. Damien called me. He is helping dad."
She sighs, heavily.
"I have a plan. Is the lawyer there?"
"Just arrived. I dunno Seth. Their lawyer seems like he means business."
"The one I hired for you is that good if not better."
"Are you sure want to go against your father? Especially since you are fighting for the CEO position...."
"Mom. You're more important. I can work anywhere. It doesn't have to be working for Father." It might be a nice change he thought.
"If he can't understand why I am helping my mother...." Then he is cold heartless bastard he always suspected he was. " Mom... I am here. Im going to come in."
"Okay."
He walks through the front where the servants open the door for him. He walks through to see his mother and the lawyer talking. He sits with them.
"Me and your husband's lawyer has decided to make the first divorce settlement conference in a week's time." I place it in my schedule. "So what are you planning on fight for?"
"I was hoping to get... like 20%?"
"Mom. Seriously?" I say annoyed. "He was the one who did you wrong in the relationship. You need to be able to care of yourself. Damien is trying to get him 100%"
Her eyes widen, "what?!"
"He is trying to make sure dad owes you nothing."
She looks at the lawyer, "50%"
"Its what you deserve after everything he put you through." I mutter.,
"Ok lets do that. I'll discuss with you our reasons for that percentage."
Seth stands up, " I trust our lawyer here will guide you through everything. Unfortunately some new concerns came up and I need to tend do it. Don't back down from dad."
His mother nods, "Definitely."
"Thanks again." I say to the lawyer. The lawyer waves as I leave the house and get back in the car.
He sits in his car and takes a deep breath and calls Ms. Prescott. He begins the drive off.
"Prescott."
"Hey its Wyatt."
"Good Morning Mr. Wyatt." She sounded tired. Like her throat sounded hoarse.
"Your voice sounds off. Are you okay?"
She doesn't say anything.
"Ms. Prescott?"
She clears her voice, "Yeah I am fine."
Liar he immediately thought.
"I am heading to office. Can you meet me in my office like 20 minutes?"
"Can i be there in 30? I am currently at a different location and its farther away. Even if i left now, I wouldn't make It in 20."
"You are not at your apartment."
"No." Damien was right. He clenched his steering wheel.
"Sir?"
"I need to talk to you when you get it get here as soon as you can."
"Okay." He hangs up the phone and rubs his face trying to calm down.
He walks into the building. Receptionist stands up, "Mr. Wyatt..." He stops and looks at her, "Why do you look nervous? Whats going on?"
"Ms. Prescott isn't here and no one couldn't reach you-"
"I allowed Ms. Prescott to come in late. She is on her way now... What is going on."
"Your brother. Mr Wyatt is holding a meeting with HIRA as we speak."
"WHAT!?" I yell at her. Startled by reaction she nearly cowers.
"Call Ms. Prescott again she is needed immediately tell her its an emergency." I power walk to the elevators.
"YES SIR!"
When the elevator closes, Seth slams the wall of the elevator causing a dent. He needs to calm down he can't go into that meeting heated. He walks up to his floor everyone was on edge. They know the Hira meeting happened with out him.
He first goes into his office to collect himself and call Mr. Ferris to his office. Him and the receptionist both come in.
"Wanna catch me up with how the fuck HIRA was able to walk into this building without my knowledge?!"
Both don't even know where to begin.
"FUCKING TALK!" He yells at them both.
Both nearly jump out of their own skin, scared to say a word. The receptionist look like she is about to cry.
Shit this is bad he thought. He can't go in like this. But he can't go in unless he has an understanding of what the heck is being talked about.
"Your brother asked A team for the list of stocks."
"What? WHy?" Seth asked confused. He looks at the receptionist, " did you reach Ms. Prescott?"
"Yes, She is 10 minutes away."
My phone started to ring, "Prescott."
"Whats going on? The receptionist said it was an emergency."
"Damien is in a meeting with HIRA." I explain to her pinching the bridge of my nose.
".... WHAT!?" She says in shock. "Wha- Let me see what we have hold on. "
"Mr. Ferris said Damien asked for Stock information."
"Stocks? Our meeting was about finances not stocks. Unless he trying to get him to buy more stocks."
"But buy more stocks where is the question. Because he wouldn't try to make him buy more stocks in our company..." Seth notes.
"... Here me out... What if Your brother is trying to get HIRA to buy more stock in their competitor's company."
"Why would he do that?" Mr. Ferris asks.
"If that is true...I don't know....what the hell he doing. But one thing for sure. I am calling Father." Because at the very least he knows that Damien is never aloud to have a meeting by himself with out either me or our father present.
Ms. Prescott runs into the door placing her stuff down, "We need to get into that meeting now."
"Everyone but Ms. Prescott leave." He says very tense. The other leave immediately. MJ notes this something must have happened prior to her being called.
"Mr. Wyatt..."
"Not now. I need to call my father." He sits at his desk and dials his father's number.
Mj walks over to him and places a hand on his shoulder, "You need to calm down. Take a deep breath."
"Ms. Prescott."
"Please." She asks softly. He takes a deep breath. She smiles, "Good."
The phone rings,"Seth, whats going on?"
"Did you know Damien is holding a meeting with HIRA right now?"
"WHat? Isn't that happening for another month?"
"I just got into the office and my team is telling me he just started a meeting."
"What- What for?" He sounds angry.
"I don't know but i'm going to find out."
"Tell him to call me once the meeting ends. Sends me notes."
"Got it." Father hangs up immediately. He stands up, "Its time to go in."
She nods, "Let's do it. "
