Babes Stripping For Love

“You don’t have a fucking clue! you signed the divorce papers, you signed the prenuptial agreement. You knew you won’t get anything aside from alimony should you cheat. He was the freaking pool boy!” Rowan couldn’t help but yelled at his ex when Heather decided to show up at his office and demanded that she should be given the small house by the city limits and one of the cars for all the three years that she had been his wife.

Rowan should’ve not yelled at her, she would have sufficed by being told that she should have her lawyer looked into it, but his frustration was through the roof. He hadn’t slept much last night since he came back from Cassie’s. He kept on convincing himself that it was all for the better, but his dick had other thoughts. Rowan finally fell asleep after he jerked off imagining his best friend’s daughter giving him a lap dance. When he came and soiled his hand he regretted it, and felt like a damn pervert for wanting someone as young as her.

The week just got shittier by the day and looks like it’s going to stretch to next Monday when his assistant told him that one of his associates decided to resign and with that excuse he knew, he fucking knew that the loser just got hijacked by his competitor with the notion of more money, obviously.

“Get the team together, we need to re-group.” He told Kaitlyn then dived back into his mountain of work.

Rowan was tired, he was tired of working so hard without having the time to even enjoy himself. He couldn’t even relax at a strip club. As soon as his mind wandered to the club, Cassie’s face was back. Then one thing led to another, he had an epiphany.

“Kat, hold the meeting, move it to next Monday. I may have a solution. Cancel my lunch with my lawyer and clear my schedule for the rest of the day.”

Being the CEO of his company had not come without a consequence, Rowan worked harder than anyone in his company, and he had no social life. He regretted the day he married Heather. But he did so knowing that marrying her will make him look like a committed man. Which came in handy when he needed to be trusted in business affairs, he would also need a spouse for galas and dinners where he spends most of his time networking and obtaining new clients. Though by the time he came home, making love was the last thing on his mind. It had always been a quick fuck with Heather, a simple stress reliever since Rowan was too busy or needed to get up very early the next morning for work.

Not wanting to dwell on his pathetic issues further, he decided to call Rhode’s partner. Adler, the other mentor who was losing clients faster than his company was now.

“Jordan Adler, this is Rowan Madden. It’s been too long, how are you?” his words were gentler, friendlier knowing the man was his senior and he needed to be in his good graces if he wanted to continue with what he had in mind.

“Rowan! God, it’s been too long. I thought you’d forgotten about us with your face all over those financial magazines.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Rowan let out a soft chuckle, remembering how those articles did boost his performance last year. But since then, since his marital issues, since his fucked up personal life, he shamelessly admits that his life has been going sideways.

He was out of his office door telling Kat to reach him on his mobile. The meeting with Adler took most of his afternoon, they meet up for lunch and then continue to catch up with a round of golf.

“Are you sure you want to get involved in our down-spiraling company?” Adler asked while he sipped on his ice tea. The weather was nice and warm when it was time for them to relax and enjoy the golf course view.

Though Rowan couldn’t manage to relax, he was feeling a bit annoyed listening to Adler talking about his former employment so easily. Rowan knows the man had other ventures, but Rhodes’ children depend on the company’s financial flow. Well, maybe Orson had funds tucked away for them.

“Do you still keep in touch with Rhodes’ children?” Rowan couldn’t help but ask.

“Um, no… they’re all busy with school, we do keep in touch with their lawyer for the financial reports and stuff.”

“Right, so here’s what I’m proposing. I’ll buy out half of the company, became a silent partner to the public knowledge, and consolidated our resources.”

“Hmm… you will build back the company. It’s a good gesture, we can surely use the money but honestly, the drive in making this work is too much for my taste. And Rowan, I’m not getting any younger. I actually wanted to retire sooner than later.” His former mentor took another sip of his drink before he continued.

“I know you wanted a quick take over and build your empire. You’re young and driven and you’re trained by one of the best. I know you’re worried that our competitor will get too big when they steal the rest of our clients. But I’m proposing that you buy out all Rhodes, if you agree I’ll set up an appointment with our lawyers and we can discuss it further.”

“Oh, hell, I did not see that coming. You’re barely sixty, Adler.”

“I know that’s why I want to enjoy my retirement. I don’t want to go on an elderly cruise, I want to go to the wild African safari.” The older man gazed out the golf course as if he was imagining his future retirement vacation.

Rowan shook his head, smiling and smiling at him. “I need to know the figures first and make sure I have the capital to do so. I was planning for half, I didn’t expect a full takeover.”

Saying it didn’t deter his mind to think about how his involvement would save the company. Then he groaned when his mind suddenly thought that Cassie would appreciate his effort as the flow of money would increase, at least Rowan was confident that he’d do a better job than Adler.

The chat ended with scheduling another meeting. Tomorrow, Rowan was to be expected at Adler’s office where he would take him to tour the old office before meeting with their lawyers.

Rowan was heavy with thoughts when he reached his townhouse. He changed to his favorite pajama bottom and rested his naked back on his large sofa. He was mentally cursing himself when he saw stacks of paper that Rowan needs to finish. It was still early, but he decides to have an early dinner while digging through his financial statements and putting his brain to work.

The leftover Chinese food barely satisfied his appetite, and Rowan continues to munch into his dessert pie left by Mrs. Dawson who gladly doubled as his personal chef knowing that he’d eat junk food every day if she didn’t cook for him.

It was almost midnight when Rowan was satisfied with his calculation. It’s not that he didn’t have the funds, but he needed to make sure he was spending his money to insure his future, not to lose them.

Tomorrow’s meeting will justify his decision, he needs to see Rhodes’s financial statements and analyze how deep he needs to shuck his pocket and make sure their current client won’t walk away to his competitor.

Rowan knew with the takeover he’d be continuing the Rhodes legacy, hopefully saving it for Rhodes’ sons if Cassidy didn’t want to take part in the business. He knew Orson Rhodes, his mentor and best friend would appreciate it if his children continue his legacy.

Thinking about Orson sadly took him back to Cassie’s, and that’s when decided to call her. He knew he shouldn’t but after all, day talking about Orson’s company he felt he needs to check up on her. Hoping at least she was not dancing at the club, he really didn’t want to get out and dragged her sexy ass back to her apartment.

Rowan waited patiently until the fifth ring when she finally pick up his call.

“Hello,”

“Cassidy, are you drunk? why do you sound like you have just woken up?”

“Because I was, I overslept, I should’ve been studying. Fuck…”

“Right,”

“Wait, how do you get my number?”

“I have my ways.”

“Are you stalking me? Where are you?” Cassidy sounded alert, and Rowan couldn’t help but chuckle from the other end.

Rowan got her number from her lawyer, he called earlier telling him that he wanted to get in touch with Orson’s children and check up on them.

“I’m not stalking you. Maybe I’m at Babes looking for you?”

“Huh, or… are you picking up when you left off with Ivy aren’t you? Men.” She exhaled loudly making him laugh.

He ended the call only to switch to a video call when he got into his bed. Rowan was not disappointed when he saw her bed hair and looking sexier with an overused oversize t-shirt that showed the outline of her nipples. He smirked when she obviously was checking him out. To tease Cassidy further Rowan relaxed back to the headboard giving her a show of his perfect sculpted pecs and abs.

“Um,”

“Yeah, I’m not at Babes.” He smirked and was happy as a teenager when he saw her blushed for accusing him earlier.

“So,”

“So, tell me what are you studying?”

“Oh, damn… I really need to study.” Her eyes were frantic looking at the messy coffee table in front of her.

“Okay, what time do you get out of school tomorrow?”

“Two, why?”

“I’ll pick you up. We’re having a late lunch, coffee, whatever. I need to see you.”

“And how do you know about my campus? Should I be worried?”

“I’m a good guy, I will tell you more when I see you tomorrow.”

“But,”

“No but… unless the sexy ones attached to your behind.”

“Um…”

“Okay, I need to work on my jokes, got it? I’ll see you tomorrow Cassie, don’t study too late, have a nice dream.”

“Thank you,” that was all she said after she gave his naked chest another once over and ended the video call.

Rowan felt like he was smiling from ear to ear, the day had suddenly got lighter and he knew that he’d fall asleep easily.
