Chapter 50 Alice's new plan
Xander sat deepin thoughts in his office, tomorrow was the dinner between his family and the Garcia's, and he couldn't lie, anytime he thought about the mere thought, he felt sick in his stomach and a dark cloud of dread over his head, He could clear hear his Dad's voice in his head and he could remember the day he was told he would be engaged.
"Dad...you called me?" Xander said, as he stood at the entrance of his Father's study, the doors were made of huge dark mahogany wood with some ancient carvings on it, the whole house itself was two century years old owned by his great great great great grandpa Miller, he built the house of smart taxes and IFF rates then according to his grandfather, the house was passed down the line from son to son, even though they still had several mansions in several cities and countries, this was the most visited one. He didn't bond well with his father while growing up due to his father always running the business and sometimes his mother would tag along leaving him and his brother to the whole mansion and fifteen maids to take care of them.
"Alexander came sit, would' ya," His father said in a heavy accent he was pretty happy he didn't take after because it sounded ridiculous to him and would have probably been in a fits of laughter if it wasn't his father that was talking.
"Yes sir," Xander answered, walking up to the huge mahogany table filled with documents and an old desktop his father never changed, he knew his father was stone hearted and old schooled, ifhe messed up, he would probably throw him out at 21.
"Did you like the fundraiser occasion I took you and your brother to?," Mr Miller asked, dropping his read glasses to face Xander, he was spotting a properly laid back her that had many streak of white with a trimmed beard, his father still looked fit for someone in his late fifties.
"Yes sir, I learnt alot from meeting with other young business heirs of my age and we share ideas and opinions about the present market and how to champion it," Xander said, exactly what his father wanted to hear, but there was still a look of unease in his demeanor.
"But of course, I didn't share my A plan father, I'm not stupid, just contributed the basics," Xander added. A look of relief slowly replaced the unease in his father's face as he rested his back a little which made Xander sigh internally.
Even though he was lying, he didn't exactly meet with heirs or heiresses, or at least he was talking to young business person Alice Harvey, Mr White Harvey's daughter and close friends of Araceli, Garcia's daughter. And by sharing business ideas he meant sticking his tongue far down her throat after having about five glasses of champagne.
"Any girl caught your eye at the occasion?," Mr Miller asked with a straight face staring directly into his soul which made his start sweating in place he didn't think were possible including the crack of his butt cheek making his rub his ass side to side on the leather seat causing disturbing squeaking sounds making his father get slightly irritated.
him.
"Will ya stop that boy and answer the goddamn question!!" Mr Miller said, staring at him looking partially irritated because of the sound he was making.
"Ehm... Yes...No!!"
"No, I mean No sir" Xander stumbled over his words and from the look on his father's face, he was starting to get real pissed off at him for not being bold and precise, he was slowly losing his patience with
"Okay..." Mr Miller took a deep breath before asking another question.
"Did you notice the daughter of the Garcia's?," The question only started making dread creep into him slowly, he had always known since he was little that he would have the luxury of choosing who he wanted to be his partner. In his family, it has and will always be business and power first.
"Yes sir, she looked very stunning in her dinner dress," Xander lied.
"Dinner dress??," Mr Miller asked, squinting his eyes at him, making Xander very nervous, and he started rethinking everything he had said earlier "or was he caught Alice and now his father is trying to test him," Xander thought.
"I don't know what exactly she wore but I sure as hell know that it wasn't a dinner dress," Mr Miller said.
"Oh yeah, I think so," Xander said, quickly.
"So I'm guessing you didn't talk to her," Mr Miller said, putting his fingers on his bridge trying to relieve the stress. "No sir," Xander replied.
"Just exchanged pleasantries and what a view, nothing major Father," Xander stated carefully trying to stumble on his words again. But he could see disappointment written clear as day on his father's face which meant this was one of those situations where he was supposed to automatically know what his father wanted and act accordingly. Ever since he was five, he got to understand the egocentric, self centered man who was his father, he never really played with them when they were little, and the moment Xander knew who to read, write and reason, business was introduced to him not love, maybe that's why he settled for Alice, even with his messed up mind, she still agreed to have sex and make out with him.
"Ya know, girls like Araceli are girls you should go after, sad the Azariah's are fine raising a lesbian and a gay child, they would have been the perfect target," Mr Miller said, itching his stubbles before reaching for his drawer and taking a half smoked cigar and lit it up, taking a deep inhale and them a relieving exhale.
"Target??" Xander questioned, confused, what did his father mean by target... "Ya target ya slow mu..." Mr Miller said coughly slightly before continuing.
"Mump is what you meant to say right," Xander muttered bitterly more to himself than to his father but forgets his father had sharp ears.
"Ya dummy, shit I'm gettin too old for all this crap pile of shit," Mr Miller said, heading to the window to take a deep breath.
"You are going to get engaged to Araceli Garcia, we are going to make a joint wealth scheme, and become the most powerful family in the business world, the Azariahs wouldn't even come close." Mr Mille said, while staring into the vast field of flowers smiling to himself.
her.
"But I..." Xander stood up, trying to object, he didn't want his life dictated for him.
"No buts son, you either marry her or lose your position as heir and next CEO to your brother," "Now leave" Mr Miller said, with an authoritative tone.
"Babe??"
"Babe!!!!" Alice shouted, shaking him vigorously dragging him out of the deep thought he was in, his eyes still didn't come to focus just yet, he rubbed his eyes on his face taking a deep breath before facing
"How did you get in?," Xander asked, looking at her with a confused expression.
"Seriously??"
"Are you for real, I come to your office to find you deep in thoughts that are bringing you pain and the first thing you ask me is "how did i get in"...."
"Well shit Xander, I flew off a fucking space jet and landed right through your fucking windows," Alice replied, more bitterness than sarcasm.
"I'm sorry, just a little shaken up," Xander said, standing up to give her a kiss but she wasn't having any of it.
"I'm sorry babe but I'm really stressed, the dinner is tomorrow, I could lose my life, my father could finally call the waste he had always wanted to call me and I swear my younger brother will fucking love that," Xander said, laughing bitterly as he went back to his desk to drink his already cold coffee but not that he cared any fucking bit.
Alice walked towards Xander and wrapped her hands around his waist and kissed his neck gently while snaking her hands towards his crotch, feeling him getting hard as she continued to stroke him through his clothes.
Turning around their lips met with fierceness and need, Xander didn't hesitate to insert his tongue in her mouth tasting a bit of her lipstick, he groping her butts through her dress, he grabbed her and put her on his desk raising her gown up exposing her tanned thighs, he slowed inched towards her coochie but she stopped him.
"Now calm down tiger, we all need this but we need to find a plan that will help us get away from this dinner," Alice said.
"Can't you say it after we are done??" Xander whined, kissing her neck.
"Nooo listen, you are releasing a new product right?" Alice asked.
"Yeah..."
"Why don't we throw emergency fundraiser event, that way, your mother will definitely cancel the dinner plan, you know she has a thing for planning this events," "You are a genius babe..."
