9:00 AM, Diamond Star Record Label. 

"Mr. Cross, your father's lawyer is in your office", said the secretary.

I hurried upstairs to find him waiting for me.

"Mr. Dass", I say to him.

"Gianu, there's something you need to do", said Mr. Dass.

"What do you mean?", I ask.

"You have to go to the Bahamas", he says as my eyes widen.

....

-Gianu POV- 

"The Bahamas? Why?", I ask. 

"As you know, your father's main bank account was in the Bahamas, there are some documents you need to sign and overlook, according to bank policy, you have to be there in person", explained the lawyer. 

"What happens if I don't sign this?", I ask.

"Then the record company will close down, the state would get all your father's money and you will be broke", he explains. 

Broke doesn't seem like a bad idea, I don't mind burning my father's legacy to the ground but money runs the world, money is the only thing that matters.

"Fine", I sigh. 

"Great, I'll call for the private jet, it'll take you straight there tomorrow", he says.

"I'll go today and sign the documents tomorrow, I could use a little relaxing by a pool in the Caribbean right now", I say. 

"Alright done", he says. 

I call the Great Sands Hotel in the Bahamas but the Presidential suite was already booked, which is a pain, I've always stayed at the Presidential Suite. Guess I'll have to settle for a lower-class suite.

.....

"Mr. Gianu", says a woman as she walked in.

"How can I help you?", I ask. 

"I'm Sara, head of Human Resource", she says.

"Hello Sara, head of Human Resource, have a seat", I say to her. 

"The firing of the employee, Asher Reyes was done badly, there are certain protocols we need to go through before we terminate an employee's contract, if he sues then the company will take a big hit and our image would be bad, is it true that he was fired because he accidentally spilled coffee on you?", she asks. 

"That is correct", I say to her. 

"In the future, be careful about this, we have to take control of this situation before it gets out of hand, first we need to make sure he doesn't sue", she says. 

She was right, I shouldn't have fired that boy, at that moment I was just so angry and I wanted to take it out on someone, that twink was supposed to be my target, sexually but I took all my frustration out on Asher.

"I'd like to have a chat with him, can you summon him here in 2 days? I have a business trip to attend today", I say to her.

"About that, he contacted HR yesterday and they mistakenly scheduled a meeting with him in 2 weeks", she says.

"Mistakenly?", I say as I raised an eyebrow. 

"Yes, the person who did this is being penalized, he didn't clear this meeting with me", she explains. 

"I'll call him myself", I sigh. 

"Thank you, sir, sorry about the inconvenience", she says as she exits the office. 

This is a pain.

~Asher POV~

5:00 PM, 13th June 2020, The Great Sand's hotel -Bahamas. 

I lay on the chair at the pool with the evening sun shining on my face, this was a nice change of scenery from the cold breeze of the city to the setting sun of the Caribbean, I could get used to this life. In one hour the sun will start setting, I thank god for the clear skies, I've always wanted to see the sunset in the Caribbean, from the pictures I've seen, it's one of the most beautiful things. I close my eyes and smile as the wind touched every pore of the top half of my body.

"Nothing could ruin this moment", I say to myself as someone approached me.

The shade of this person was blocking the warm heat of the setting sun, indicating that someone was there.

"Yo, dude", says a voice as I open my eyes in shock as his shade covered me.

It was him, Gianu Cross, the fucker who fired me. I'm clearly dreaming, there's no way this prick would be here right now, either that or...

"I'm in hell", I say to him. 

"What?", he asked.

"If you're here right now, it would seem I died and went to hell", I sigh. 

"Are you trying to say I'm in your nightmares?", he says as he raised an eyebrow.

"That's exactly what I'm saying you prick", I say as I stand up. 

I was face to face with him, looking at him clearly, he really was cute and had the most piercing blue eyes, why am I dreaming of him right now? Out of everything I could be dreaming, why him? 

"Why am I dreaming of you?", I say to him.

"Maybe, your subconscious secretly wants me, I mean I am hot and rich", he says. 

"You're not my type, I really don't care that you're hot or well off, the only way you'll impress me is by the way you treat others and seeing as you're the asshole who yelled at me and fired me, there's no possible way you'd be in my thoughts", I say to him as he twitches his eye.

"Don't deny the urge, I can see the boner, you're definitely happy to see me", he says as he bit his lips.

Fuck, I really do have a bone, damn it, Asher! Wake the hell up, you can't afford to be having a wet dream by the pool area. 

"I need to wake up", I say out loud.

"You're not asleep", he says to me as my eyes widen.

"What do you mean?", I say.

"I really am here", he says.

I then slap him right across the face as he yells.

"What the fuck!", he yelled. 

"You're right, I felt pain when I slapped you", I say.

......

"Is everything okay?", said a man as he approached us. 

It was a hotel employee, he looked on as Gianu rubbed his face.

"Yes, I've been trying to check-in for the past 20 minutes but there's no one at the front desk", says Gianu. 

"I'm so sorry sir, we're very short-staffed, we have just 3 off-season staff at the moment", he explains. 

"Off-season?", I ask. 

"Here in the Caribbean, storm season starts today, it's our version of winter, there's a tropical storm coming in a few hours so I was preparing", he says as Gianu and I look at each other.

"Storm season!", we both say in unison as a strong wind blew.
