Kristopher

I just finished up a meeting with a potential investee. I didn't care what I invested in as long as the profit would be ten times more money.

I glanced at my watch for a second, I had at least 21 minutes before my next meeting, inside felt stuffy and enclosed, I'll stretch my legs then come back.

I stood from my chair and walked to the coat hanger, I pulled of a grey coat and wore it top of my suit. I lifted my head up with a smirk leaving the building looking down on everyone one else, this was my bank and nobody could look my in my eye. It felt good to be feared.

The streets were silent and almost nobody was out because of the snow.

I loved it, it was harsh, cold, icy and dangerous. It reminded me of myself.

I placed my hands in my pockets enjoying the cold air until..... I felt a cold feeling on my thigh as I looked down at a little boy who had just tripped spilling ice cream on me.

Fuck! I have a meeting in a few minutes.

That was the first thing I thought as I stared at the woman who I presumed to be his mom, she was olives skinned with wavy black which stopped a little below her shoulders, she had a lot of freckles with bright teal eyes.

She helped the little boy stand up, dusted his body but didn't notice me until I groaned.

She stood tall staring at me, her eyes went down to my thigh and back up to my face, she did what no one had done to me in a long time, she stared me in my eyes.

She didn't utter a word, not an apology and neither did her son.

"Are you blind?" I muttered under my breath, she stared at me with a questioning look in her eyes."Are you blind?! " I roared out this time and that startled her.

"I'm so sorry, he tripped-" I was annoyed by her apology and did what was on my mind. She was cut off by me scooping what was left of the ice cream and splashing it on the little boy's face. She was angered by my action but I didn't care. It was petty but I felt satisfaction.

"Are you insane, look at what you did to a kid.." I silenced her by placing a finger on my lip. I leaned in closer.

"I don't like being even" I said in a low tone as I rubbed the remaining ice cream from my hand on her coat and with that I walked off, I heard her screaming, calling me names.

"Jerk! Moron! Scumbag! Bully!" She screamed at the top of her voice, I didn't care, I walked away with a victorious smirk.

I was a bit late for the meeting I had to get my trouser cleaned, the vanilla ice looked like something else and I would hate for people to get the wrong idea.

I felt bad stepping into the office, I don't tolerate tardiness and yet I was the latest in the room. I didn't care about what they would say, I was the CEO I could postpone it or cancel the meeting. Being late made me feel disorganized.

I walked silently into the office and sat by the edge of the long horizontal table. I intertwined both my fingers and placed my elbow on the table using my fingers to support my chin. The atmosphere became tensed up and everyone was at their edge and I liked that.

"Good day Mr Lyon" the man directly opposite me greeted, I didn't reply to his greeting, he cleared his throat obviously offended.

"Sir this is Mr Whitney, the owner the land" my PA gestured to a  dirty blond man, he was either in his early fifties or late forties with strands of grey hair sticking out.

I nodded in remembrance, Mr Whitney, a widower, selling his old land to get out of debt, also requesting for a loan.

"Where is the land located?" I spoke smoothly.

"Weather street." He replied quickly to my question as my PA got out some documents and placed them on the table. The documents contained all the information of the land. I skimmed through before my eyes landed on a particular statement and I looked up at Mr Whitney with raised brows.

"There are residents on this land?" I asked furiously, I wanted a vacant land so that we could start work immediately. Even worse, there was a standing building on the land.

"Y-Yes, the residents would have to move out and the house is due for demolition." He spoke fearfully hoping I would take the deal. I look down at the documents, it would be best to buy the land, it was wide and located in a secure area.

I groaned looking at my lawyer, I used my two fingers passing the documents on the table to my lawyer. He had looked at it and nodded. I sighed pulling out my cheque book, no going back now.

*****

I stood in front of the building with a few guys behind me and Mr Whitney at my front with a large speaker in his hand, he held it in to his lips and began to speak. His voice sounded really loud.

"Harlan's, I'd appreciate if you step out please. I have an announcement." It took a few minutes before an elderly lady came out of the building, beside her was a young lady of 17 or there about. There was also a black haired boy who I guessed was 12. Some seconds later, a man looking my age or older came out, he was my height but didn't have as much build as me, on his back was that little boy who spilled ice cream on me.

I found myself getting angry at the thought. Then I saw her, the lady I rubbed ice cream on her coat. She seemed tired and her face was plain, her hair was packed in a messy pony tail, she was still in her pj's, an oversized white shirt with worn out shorts.

I scoffed seeing her and dug my hands into my pockets, she looked like a mess.

She stopped walking when she saw me, she had a very toxic look in her eyes and I swear if looks could kill I'd be dead.

She bit her lips, her eyes staring deep  in mine.
