The C.E.O'S shattered heart (MxM, C.E.O X C.E.O)

Chapter 7. A new start Part 2

I chuckled while thinking that I should start charging people more for my work. I notified Katherine through an email that I had accepted her request. I also replied to the other clients. I was using an alias to operate my website. Katherine would never find out who I was. I was also sure that she had already forgotten about me. I sent Katherine a list of the things that I needed to create her website. I then took my notes about the wine project out of my bag. I already knew what to do to increase sales of the product. I just needed to talk to the creator of the wine first. I dozed off while pondering about the matter. It was the first time that I hadn't reminisced about Andrew.

I woke up startled when I heard something fall in the kitchen. I quickly jumped off my bed, then ran to the kitchen. I took a step back when I saw Zavier passionately kissing a man. The man noticed me first. He bit Zavier's lip, then asked him, "Who's your handsome friend?" I could see that Zavier was drunk. Zavier smirked at me, then stuck his tongue out at me. His partner got irritated and grabbed Zavier's face. The man then asked Zavier in anger, "I asked you something, didn't I, Zavier?" Zavier shivered in pleasure, then responded to the man with, "You also have someone waiting for you at home, Jack. You don't have the right to interfere with my affairs." The man groaned then kissed Zavier deeply. I saw that as a chance to escape. I locked my door, then yelled, "When is this nightmare going to end?"

The man was fortunately gone the next morning. I didn't know how to face the stranger because I hated cheaters. Zavier looked mighty refreshed that morning. He was making scrambled eggs by the stove in his slacks. I sighed while looking at the hickeys that the man had left behind on the back of his neck. It was Zavier's life. I didn't have the right to tell him how to live it. I didn't feel like eating, so I just had some cereal to fill my stomach. Zavier smiled, then asked me while dishing out food for himself, "How was your first day at work, Zach. Did you feel stressed out at the end of the day?" I shook my head, then answered Zavier with, "I'm handling only one project at the moment, Zavier. I didn't have any trouble adjusting to the work environment. I'm doing good for now. Thank you for asking."

Zavier took a bite out of his bread, then responded to me with, "That's good to hear." He then suddenly asked me, "Can you do the bookkeeping for my restaurant, Zack? I was so busy that I didn't have the time to sort out all the receipts and to count the profit." I sighed while thinking that Zavier needed a smack on the back of his head. He was the one who was stressing me out with his bullshit. I drove straight to work after cleaning the kitchen. I used my badge to park in the headquarters ' underground parking garage. It seemed like the heads of the company had a separate parking space. Emma was busy checking someone's information at her desk when I walked into the building. She looked up when I greeted her. Emma smiled at me, then yelled, "Good morning, Zach!" I waved at Emma, then took the elevator to the second floor. I was the first person to arrive. I turned on my computer, then took out the files which I had been working on out of my drawer.

James suddenly approached me, then said, "I brought the contract of employment for you. It's only for a year for the time being. You can take your time to read it. You can also consult with someone before signing it. I also brought a list of the things that the company expects from you. You can return the contract to me when you are finished. I'm here till late. Oh, and the section chief took two days off. Tristen Miller will contact you as soon as he returns to work." I nodded while grabbing the contract, then responded to James with, "Thank you, James." I frowned when I saw James wince. I quickly corrected myself by saying, "Sorry, I meant to address you with "Sir." James huffed then walked away in anger. Briac arrived the moment James left.

I shook my head when I heard him say, "What got his panties in a bunch?" I greeted Briac, then answered him with, "I accidentally called him by his name." Briac patted me on the back while laughing. He then said while taking a seat at his desk, "James is a Harvard graduate, Zach. He can handle anything you throw at him. Who wouldn't want to receive the respect that they deserve for being a genius? Don't mind him. He grows on you once you get to know him." I smiled while thinking that there was no need for Briac to stick up for James. I would follow all the rules and regulations while I was working at the Marquis empire.
