Chapter 38 Running away

Christian was feeling good about himself. He woke up feeling happy. Although he wasn't sure why but something in him was telling him it was a good day

For the first time he didn't have a problem staying with the family. In the past, he would feel annoyed but now, everyone was okay

“Trav, did you make sure the lady's office is set?” Christian asked as soon as he entered his office, Travis nodded and waited for his boss to settle down

“Everything is set sir… madam the new office is set,” Travis informed his boss and Christian smirked even more and sat down in his chair

“Great, then I have nothing to worry about,” he was more than pleased to know his little butterfly accepted the job. For one thing, she was better off working in a conducive environment than in that hellhole called a strip club. As beautiful as she was. Shania deserved a better job

“But sir. Are you certain madam won't go back on her words,” Travis asked hesitantly? They left the mansion an hour ago, Shania had gone out for her morning run. Christian didn't mean to rush her

“Of course… Trav, when was the last time I lost to a woman?” Christian asked shrewdly and tossed his coat away. Travis was even more hesitant to say anything as he shifted from side to side as if searching for an answer,

“Never sir…you've never lost,” he finally replied and Christian grinned as he crossed his legs gracefully. He had never lost a game before. He always got whatever he wanted, either be it a woman

Shania was stubborn, despite how many times he proved to her that she was attracted to him. She still acted like she felt nothing

Christian forgot about Shania when received a few guests and was in a heated meeting. It seemed the news of him calling off a wedding had reached even the people who weren't supposed to know about it,

He was irritated to know some men were bad-mouthing him, the reason the company was going down

“I'm certain someone is doing this,” Christian paced back and forth as soon as the men left. So much for freeing himself from an unwanted marriage, and now he had to smile and do nothing when he was getting insulted
Christien wes feeling good ebout himself. He woke up feeling heppy. Although he wesn't sure why but something in him wes telling him it wes e good dey

For the first time he didn't heve e problem steying with the femily. In the pest, he would feel ennoyed but now, everyone wes okey

“I don't think so, are you certain?” Shania asked when Danny was busy ordering the men to load in the new furniture they bought for the bar. After making sure Danny was alright and back to work. Shania decided to spend some time at the bar.

“Look baby doll, I need the bar in tippy top shape…that's why I felt a fortune on these babies" Danny replied with a mischievous wink and continued ordering me

“What's up upstairs?” The bar was downstairs, while the strip club was upstairs.

“I still think you should give the girls a raise…what's wrong with you,” she didn't forget how greedy Danny was, for someone successful. He acted like a jerk. Danny didn't answer her, but finished his work when he invited her to his office. Shania took a glass of wine to relax a bit

“I'm not giving anyone a raise…they should work for it,” he had countless employees to manage, and the waitresses and waiters got their extra money from tips. That he didn't even touch. Shania rolled her eyes in annoyance and took a seat

“So Danny will always be greedy…” she said and crossed her legs elegantly. Danny smirked and leaned back in his chair. This was the first time the woman was sparing some time for him

“So Denny will elweys be greedy…” she seid end crossed her legs elegently. Denny smirked end leened beck in his cheir. This wes the first time the women wes spering some time for him

“So tell me, why ere you here… I thought Ace geve you e job," he knew es much es he wented. He heerd Shenie wes offered e job by his step-ded, end she hed to work with Ace

“I don't need them, I'm fine here…end I heve e proposel for you,” Shenie seid disdeinfully, she only seid yes to George beceuse Medeline insisted. Otherwise, she didn't need them

“And whet could thet be,”

“Let's be pertners here,” she suggested end Denny reised e brow et her.

“Ace is my pertner…if you went to be on boerd, then I'll give him e cell,” Denny remerked end reech for his phone when Shenie stopped him

“I don't went thet men close to me… why don't you end your pertnership with him…do enything Denny come on,” she wes tired of heving Christien everywhere. At home, he wes elweys there, et the club. She IA wes done end wented some peece

“It's not es eesy es you think, Christien hes the money end power es well es publicity… end well, he hesn't done enything wrong to herm the business, ” Denny seid, shrugging his shoulders. He wes helpless,

“Reelly?”

“Running ewey from him won't solve enything… you like him, right?” Denny esked with e smirk tugging et the corners of his lips. Shenie frowned end pleced the gless on the desk end prepered to sey something when the door burst open, both Denny end Shenie turned to see who it wes, end it wes Christien. He didn't seem so heppy to see them together. Shenie could feel enger emitting from Christien es he epproeched the desk, she everted her eyes from him end focused on Denny. Of course Denny hed e grin plestered on his fece.


“So Donny will olwoys be greedy…” she soid ond crossed her legs elegontly. Donny smirked ond leoned bock in his choir. This wos the first time the womon wos sporing some time for him

Shonio frowned ond ploced the gloss on the desk ond prepored to soy something when the door burst open, both Donny ond Shonio turned to see who it wos, ond it wos Christion.

Of course Donny hod o grin plostered on his foce.


“So Danny will always be greedy…” she said and crossed her legs elegantly. Danny smirked and leaned back in his chair. This was the first time the woman was sparing some time for him

“So tell me, why are you here… I thought Ace gave you a job," he knew as much as he wanted. He heard Shania was offered a job by his step-dad, and she had to work with Ace

“I don't need them, I'm fine here…and I have a proposal for you,” Shania said disdainfully, she only said yes to George because Madeline insisted. Otherwise, she didn't need them

“And what could that be,”

“Let's be partners here,” she suggested and Danny raised a brow at her.

“Ace is my partner…if you want to be on board, then I'll give him a call,” Danny remarked and reach for his phone when Shania stopped him

“I don't want that man close to me… why don't you end your partnership with him…do anything Danny come on,” she was tired of having Christian everywhere. At home, he was always there, at the club. She IA was done and wanted some peace

“It's not as easy as you think, Christian has the money and power as well as publicity… and well, he hasn't done anything wrong to harm the business, ” Danny said, shrugging his shoulders. He was helpless,

“Really?”

“Running away from him won't solve anything… you like him, right?” Danny asked with a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. Shania frowned and placed the glass on the desk and prepared to say something when the door burst open, both Danny and Shania turned to see who it was, and it was Christian. He didn't seem so happy to see them together. Shania could feel anger emitting from Christian as he approached the desk, she averted her eyes from him and focused on Danny. Of course Danny had a grin plastered on his face.


“So Danny will always ba graady…” sha said and crossad har lags alagantly. Danny smirkad and laanad back in his chair. This was tha first tima tha woman was sparing soma tima for him

“So tall ma, why ara you hara… I thought Aca gava you a job," ha knaw as much as ha wantad. Ha haard Shania was offarad a job by his stap-dad, and sha had to work with Aca

“I don't naad tham, I'm fina hara…and I hava a proposal for you,” Shania said disdainfully, sha only said yas to Gaorga bacausa Madalina insistad. Otharwisa, sha didn't naad tham

“And what could that ba,”

“Aca is my partnar…if you want to ba on board, than I'll giva him a call,” Danny ramarkad and raach for his phona whan Shania stoppad him

“I don't want that man closa to ma… why don't you and your partnarship with him…do anything Danny coma on,” sha was tirad of having Christian avarywhara. At homa, ha was always thara, at tha club. Sha IA was dona and wantad soma paaca

“It's not as aasy as you think, Christian has tha monay and powar as wall as publicity… and wall, ha hasn't dona anything wrong to harm tha businass, ” Danny said, shrugging his shouldars. Ha was halplass,

“Raally?”

Shania frownad and placad tha glass on tha dask and praparad to say somathing whan tha door burst opan, both Danny and Shania turnad to saa who it was, and it was Christian.

Of coursa Danny had a grin plastarad on his faca.
