The encounter

The shareholders meeting came to an end with Lucas being appointed or rather appointing himself as the new CEO of the company.

He owned sixty percent of the company shares therefore welding more power than any other shareholders

The shareholders who were opposing his grandfather were silenced by his composure and domineering aura.

Lucas was dedicated to work hard and improve the company to greater heights. The Morgan conglomerate was a business co-op that engaged itself with a variety of businesses ranging from manufacturing, textiles,real estate, malls and the entertainment industry. People often referred to it as the one stop business.

Coming back,he was determined to up the game and develop his company to just not a top company but the top most company.

Since he didn't not have anything to hold him back or divide his attention anymore, he was determined to concentrate all his energy in building the Morgan conglomerate and getting rid of his uncle Justin was the first step.

As for love, he had shut his heart not to open it again. He would just spent his days earning money and doing things that Interest him the most

" President, here are the files that need your signature." Stephen appeared with a stack of documents in his hands. If it was Lucas from two months ago, he would have evaded the work and maybe ran off to spend time with his girlfriend.

Falling in love for the first time, he was blinded by it and was ready to sacrifice anything just to be with Tina. Thinking about it now, he laughed at himself.

'How pathetic!'

" Okay, you can go home now." He said dismissing his personal assistant.

Taking over the office, there were alot of things to do and he had worked non-stop. He was kind enough to send Stephen away since it was way past working hours.

Stephen scurried away.

He heaved a sigh of relief after exiting the company. He had a date with his girlfriend and he was sure he was going to hear it from her

Day's passed and Lucas spent his days working in the company.

After taking over, he had done a cleanup to his employees, promoting those who deserved it, firing the moles and demoting the jokers .

To him, one ought to do their work diligently.

New policies were also introduced in the company and punishments drawn for those who broke rules. The Company took a hundred percent transformation under him.

Lucas also introduced bonuses and salary increments to his employees. He believed that a contented employee equals a successful company.

Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. The value of the Morgan company rose from billions to hundreds of billions.

" The meeting will be held in California in four hours. If you leave now, you will be able to get there on time." Advised Stephen

Lucas was supposed to attend a contract signing meeting with Mr Maxwell of jungle construction company who happened to be their partner in the construction of the new phoenix Mall.

" Okay, make the arrangements." He blandly replied, going through a document.

" Right away, president." Replied Stephen

Stephen had stopped addressing Lucas as the young master after he took the position of CEO of the Company.

Twenty minutes later, Lucas stepped out of his luxurious car and headed straight to the private waiting area. He had to pass through the partition leading to the female washrooms.

Lucas was leisurely strolling to board his private jet when all of a sudden a woman rushed to him.

"Darling, I thought you wouldn't come to pick me up." A coquettish voice sounded in his ears as a petite woman clinged to him hugging his arm.

Stephen who was trailing behind his president wondered who the woman was who had the audacity to address his president so intimately not to mention, she was tightly clung to him like a koala.

Lucas watched as the woman clung to him, sending him a wink.

His rather calm heart started beating erratically. Her small round face was plastered with a sweet smile. He was in a daze watching her

observing her features, she had hazel eyes, small pink lips and eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings. She was petite and her waist long hair cascaded down appearing like calm flowing water.

" I missed you so much." She said drawing him closer and tiptoeing to kiss his plump lips

Lucas's eyes widened. He did not expect her to kiss him.

The two of them were complete strangers but he could read from her actions that she was using him to get rid of something... or let's say someone.

But who could it be? He had no idea.

Marina knew that his father's people were following her. She had in a moment of panic told her father that her boyfriend would be waiting for her at the airport once she lands from abroad.

Her father had threatened to find her a husband when she came back.

To avoid an arranged marriage, Marina recklessly said she was already dating, something she has never attempted in her 25 years of existence.

She knew her father would keep an eye on her but she decided to cross that bridge when the time comes so here she was, kissing a stranger just to convince her Dad.

She had acted on impulse upon seeing such a handsome man approaching her. She knew she had to make her act believable and wondered if the other party would cooperate.

Lucas was taken aback by her sudden action but he quickly regained his composure and pulled the woman to his arms, deepening the kiss .

He did not know what was wrong with him, he just found himself liking the taste of her smooth tongue in his mouth.

Marina, who wanted a quick kiss, found herself being kissed deeply by the man. He was very rough as he sucked her lips alternating from the upper to the lower.

Marina was kissed till she couldn't breathe anymore. Lucas pulled away, giving her time to inhale before pulling her back and kissing her again.

He felt intoxicated and addicted. He simply couldn't get enough of her kisses

On the other hand, Marina wondered what kind of shit did she got herself into?

What started as a simple kiss turned into something nerve wracking.

Her toes curled due to the pleasure she was getting from his kisses.

A certain assistant stood rooted on the ground, his ears turning red like ripe tomatoes. It was a good thing there were not many people passing by, otherwise with the way his president was behaving, he wasn't sure what the entertainment news tomorrow would be saying.

" The cold CEO caught romancing at the airport lobby"

" The CEO of Morgan conglomerate found kissing a random girl."

" The impatient CEO of Morgan conglomerate making out in public "

Thinking about it, Stephen shivered

unbeknownst to him, a group of people had already captured a picture of the president and the girl kissing and sent the picture to their old master.

"Let's go, mission accomplished." The head of the guards signalled his colleagues to give their young miss privacy.

"Mmmmh " Marina moaned into the kiss.

The man was wreaking havoc in her heart and mind with his mind blowing kisses. She wanted this to last forever.

Listening to her make those weird voices and how she was kissing him back. Lucas knew she was enjoying it just like he was.

Panting heavily, the two decided to break the kiss at last.

Coming back to his senses, Lucas pushed her away. Fire was burning in his eyes and he was obviously enraged.

He was angry that a total stranger had kissed him without his permission but more importantly, he was angry at himself for kissing her back.

After his experience with Tina, he had decided to stay away from the female gender but then here he was, passionately kissing a woman he just met.

To him, women were the most untrustworthy beings and he had learned that the hard way.

Sometimes, he would hear Tina and Mark's voices ridiculing him as a penniless and useless bastard.

The pain was still deeply etched in his heart and mind.

But upon seeing her, his well built resolve crumpled just like that .

No, no it must be this woman's fault.

She must have seduced me!

He tried justifying himself.

Marina wondered what's wrong with this man, in one minute, he was passionately kissing her, the next one he is angry at her that one would think she had robbed him hundred dollars.

She tried looking around and to her prediction, her father's men were already gone.

' What a genius?' she silently praised herself.

she knew that trick would work that way, she could shake them off.

Turning back to look at his handsome face, the man was already taking strides walking away.

She was frozen In place

"Hey?" She tried to run towards the man but was stopped by his bodyguards .

"At least tell me your name." She yelled trying her luck but the man ignored her and walked away.

" Asshole." She cursed before huffing and walking away.
