The Wright One

DEX

I am getting pissed, she won’t talk to me. I mean she lets me come by and spend time with Hugh, but she keeps busy and doesn’t talk to me. I figure it is time to talk to this guy and get him to back off. I want my family and he is standing in the way.

When I get to Dynamic Tech I am still in my uniform. I don’t say that I am there for official business, just that I want to speak to the CEO. They usher me up and the secretary sitting outside his office looks panicked. She rushes into his office and lets him know that I am here.

She stands to the side. “He will see you now.”

When I step into his big ass office he has a large grin on his face. “Honestly I expected you days ago.”

I nod. “Glad to see we have an understanding.”

The secretary’s eyes look like saucers. But she closes the door, knowing that is her job and she needs to complete it.

He motions to the seat in front of his desk. “Let me guess, you want me to back off.”

I take a seat crossing my ankle over my lap. “That would be nice.”

He laughs, shaking his head. “I have been asking her out since I met her, now you breeze back into town after what, three years and you want me to just give up the date that I finally got her to accept. Why the fuck would I do that?”

I sigh, “I am Hugh’s father, I deserve a chance to have my family.”

“I think you lost that right when you walked away from it without a word.” He looks at me sternly.

I roll my eyes. “I screwed up, yes. But I didn’t know about Hugh. I came back for her, I deserve to have a chance at this. For that to happen you need to back off.”

He shakes his head again. “Well, I don’t think you do. I deserve this chance. I have been here, I saw what was in front of me, I never once gave up on it. I was patient until she was ready, now you want me to just give up.”

“Can you just give me a month?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“No. I am not giving up on Mia. Not for one day. If she tells me to back off, then I will. But I don’t owe you shit. I’ll be pleasant for her and Hugh, but as far as I am concerned, you are an ass. I don’t care what the hell you want and I will be damned if you will have what I worked for. What I cherished while you threw it in the trash.”

Taking a deep breath to compose myself. “I can see we are not going to come to an agreement here.”

“No, I don’t think we are.”

I stand. “I guess let the best man win.”

He smiled again. “Oh, I guarantee you, I will.”
