I Want You Back

Sofia Andrew

If there is one thing I know about Angel, he won't give up until he gets what he wants. So he won't stop until he gets that appointment one way or another.

"Hi, boss. You called for me?" Ignacio asked as he arrived in my office and sat on the couch.

"Do you remember when we received a call from that car company?"

"Autos-Let, yes, I remember. You told me you'd call later, but you had that beautiful woman outside make excuses for you."

I rolled my eyes at his statement. "Stop being a flirt."

He chuckled. "So, what about it?"

"I need you to meet with the owner of that company as my representative. Listen to his offer, but whatever it is, tell them we are not interested." I firmly instructed him.

"So... you want me to listen to them and make an excuse and tell them we are not interested?" He asked and looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Yes, exactly."

"They won't believe us, Sofia."

"Well, just invent anything and make it believable. I don't want anything to do with that company. Do you understand me?*

"Well, you are the boss, but can you at least tell me why?"

"I can't," I replied with a shake of my head.

He just shrugged and left. I am not sure if he already found out that I'm the owner of this company, and after what happened with the three witches, I'm sure he'll mention it. My phone rang, and I saw Diether's name. "Hello."

"Hi, I just want to know if you're okay. Angel told me you weren't feeling well, and I didn't see you in the company."

"I just needed to rest. Is Angel there?"

"He's there the whole day supervising. You know how perfectionist he can get."

"I know."

"Angel asked me to see my latest designs."

"Diether, I clearly told you..."

"I know, Sofia. I told him not to insist, but to be honest, I didn't understand. After all, he is still the head of the company."

"He is, but I prefer it that way. If he insists, tell him to talk to me."

"Alright, I understand. By the way, I want to tell you about my idea for the car's new design."

"I'm listening, and I trust you."

"It is a bit dangerous, but..."

"Diether, just get to the point. The most dangerous thing is you not saying anything."

"I am thinking of technology." At that, my interest is piqued.

"Technology? Explain further."

"In the reality we live in, technology is everywhere, so why don't we create a high-quality and computerized security system? To make one hell of a car."

My excitement faded, and my shoulders slumped. This isn't happening to me.

"Are you serious?"

I swear that God is playing with me. He likes seeing me suffer.

"We should find a good technology company. The best out there. It can be Orange, Samsoon, Azamon, or even Let-technology. They are currently the best right now." And he just killed me when he mentioned my company. "Sofia? Why don't you think about it first before you give me an answer?"

"If I do, do you have the design?"

"Yes, and you'll be shocked, but let me finish some details so you can see the whole project. I have to go now. I'm glad you're fine."

"Hey, wait! Did you mention this idea to Angel?"

"No, Sofia," he answered in a rather offended tone. "You told me not to tell him anything about the design or ideas. I have my own ideas, and I don't need Angel to create designs."

"I understand your annoyance, and I didn't mean it that way, Diether. I just thought that... nothing. Forget about it. Maybe it's just a coincidence."

"What coincidence?"

"Nothing. Don't listen to me. I'll think about what you said."

I ended the call, and my headache increased. Why is everything so complicated? Ugh! When will this day end?

"Ma'am, are you feeling better?" Sandra asked when she entered my office.

"I heard that question again," I said in frustration, and I looked at her to see her nervous.

"Forget it, Sandra. What is happening? Give me a good one at least."

"The contract from Germany came, and Miss Amelia is now verifying it."

"Alright, Sandra. I will go home now. Don't disturb me unless it's important."

I left the apartment and saw a call from Alexis. This man, isn't what Angel did not enough for him? Wait, what if it's exactly because of that? Damn, I need to answer him. "Alexis, I'm surprised you still have the nerve to call me."This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Just like before, you're still sarcastic, but let's see how long you'll last."

"Did you call to threaten me?"

"I am currently in West Central Hospital at room 408. If you do not come, your husband will know the consequences of hitting me."

I cut the call in anger and glared at the phone. "This guy is insane, or the beating must have left him defective."

I wanted to ignore it, but I also wanted to know what he'd do to Angel, so after half an hour, I'd already made my way to his room and saw two men guarding the door. "Ma'am, the boss is waiting for you." One of them told me and opened the door.

I walked in without fear, but I couldn't help but pause when I saw his state. I almost did not recognize him.

"What? Did my new handsome face shock you? This is thanks to your husband. I can see him and make him live a miserable life."

I shut my eyes when I heard that and stared at him with unwavering eyes. "You will sue him for only defending his wife from an abuser and for preventing you from drugging me." He shrugged nonchalantly. "No one messes with me."

"I'm sure you didn't call me for that. What do you want from me?"

"Easy, Sofia. You are such a beautiful woman. If you don't want to see your beloved husband behind bars and ruin his reputation, you just need to do one thing. Spend a night with me."

I let out a mocking laugh. "You are a fool if you think I'll do that. So you'll tell me that you won't sue him if I sleep with you?" He proudly nodded without any hint of shame on his face. "Who would have thought that one of the most influential men in the country is blackmailing a woman to sleep with him?"

"I always get what I want, by hook or by crook."

"You don't have to do anything, Sofia. Just one night with me or Angel will spend the rest of his life in prison. Look at the bright side; you might like it and even leave Angel for more," he said with so much confidence and arrogance in his face.

"Alexis, I am one of the most influential women in society with a reputation just like Angel. You know how they describe us as ruthless and show no mercy; let me say that we aren't just like that, and you bothered us both. Just think about what we'll do to you." "You have everything to lose."

"I don't think so. Because Angel and I both don't like being told what to do. Alexis, you better get yourself together, and while you do, I promise to think about whether to destroy your life or not.

I left his room while shaking in anger. I will ruin that pervert's life. With that, I called the best man for the job.

""Boss. What is it?"

"Isaac, I need you to find out the entire life of Alexis Valentine, and I want everything: what he does and whom, where he goes, his tastes, when he sleeps, how he sleeps, everything." Isaac whistled. "Wow, they sure made you pissed."

"You have no idea. I won't let that man live now that he crossed me."
