Billionaire's Pleasure-Chapter 161: Needed

Jackson’s POV

I was already inside the company when I saw Ms. Garcia, she greeted me as I got off the elevator.

"Good morning Mr. Hynes."

"Good morning. Are they already in the office? "

"Yes, Mr. Hynes. They have been waiting for you for a while. "

"Okay. When I enter my office, just wait for me outside. I’ll call you if I need you in the office. Is it clear? "

"Okay Mr. Hynes, it’s clear. "

"All right, I’ll go inside now."

My secretary nodded and then I entered my office. When I opened the door I saw Mr. Anderson and his two male companions.

"Good morning Mr. Anderson, I didn’t know you were going to be here today. You didn’t even let me know, " I said while shaking hands with them.

"Sorry Mr. Hynes. I had a business meeting near here then I thought of going to your company. I will introduce you to them and maybe you will be interested." said Mr. Anderson.

"Oh, sure. Let’s sit down first. Who are those people with you today and it seems that what you have to say is very important? "

"They are my business partners. Actually, they have hedge funds and they are still looking for other investors in their business. So, I bet you want to invest in them, " said Mr. Anderson again.

"Um...hedge funds huh. I am sorry to say this but I think that I am not interested in this investment for now. I also have a friend who had a stock market business and I didn’t invest that either. Especially, my wife doesn’t want me to invest in private investments. So far, our mutual funds are fine so yeah I’m sorry Mr. Anderson but for now, I will say no. "

"Are you sure Mr. Hynes? Are you worried about the outcome of the investment? You don’t need to worry about it; for sure your money is secure to them. And I am an investor as well so I know what I am telling you. Don’t tell me your wife decides for you how you should spend your money. In fact, that’s your own money. You are the owner and founder of this company. So, your decision will still be followed. "

"I know all of that Mr. Anderson, you don’t have to say it and explain to me because I clearly know that. I’m just saying that she is my wife and she has the right to know the decision I will make. I don’t want to get to the point that we will have an argument regarding that stuff. I trusted you Mr. Anderson and you help my company a lot because of the project we will do but in terms beyond our agreement I am sorry to refuse it. I know a business has to take a risk to grow but for me this is different. I am very sorry to both of you as well. "

I saw Mr. Anderson sigh and stood up in his chair.

"I guess we can’t change your mind regarding this. But just in case there is hope, just inform me," said Mr. Anderson.

"Sure, I hope this will not affect our ongoing deal and being my business partner, Mr. Anderson," I said.

"Of course not. It’s different and then our agreement was already good. We just need the signing process of the contract, right? Don’t worry about it; it won’t affect any agreement we have. I just want to help them. " 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Thank you, Mr. Anderson. I appreciate and apologize to both of you as well if I don’t have a plan to invest in your hedge funds for now. "

"No worries, but please, consider our offer when you change your mind," said the two men.

"I will. Thank you for coming here," I said and shook hands with them again.

"Okay, we have to go now than Mr. Hynes," said Mr. Anderson.

"Sure but by the way Mr. Anderson. Can I have your phone or telephone number? My former secretary has resigned so I have a new secretary now and she doesn’t have any contact information from you. "

"Okay, sure, no problem. Here is my card. My email, phone, and telephone number are already there. "

"Thank you, Mr. Anderson. "

"No problem. By the way, the woman earlier who assists us, is your new secretary, right? "

"Yes, Mr. Anderson. Is there any problem?"

"Nothing, actually she’s very nice and very accommodating to assist us while we are waiting for you. Plus, she’s look pretty as well. Maybe when your wife sees your new secretary, she will be getting jealous. "

"Don’t worry Mr. Anderson, my wife is not that type of woman and she has nothing to be jealous of. I and my secretary were both working professionals and nothing else, "I said while smiling at them.

"Oh, that’s good then. Okay, we have to go now. By the way, my secretary will update you regarding when the contract will be signed. "

"Okay, Mr. Anderson. I am looking forward. Thank you again. "

They came out of my office and I sat in my chair. I just gasped at what we talked about, especially about my secretary. Moments later I called my secretary to come to my office.

"Hello Mr. Hynes, is your meeting with Mr. Anderson and his two companions already done?"

"Yea, what we talked about is not very important. So, you don’t need to know. I want to know my work schedule today. Do I have a meeting to take care of? "

"So far, the schedule of your meetings today is empty, because Mr. Davis canceled the meeting. According to him, he has already found an efficient business partner. "

"Oh really? That guy, he really doesn’t have a word. Before I had a few meetings with him; before he agreed to sign a contract a few years ago and now he says he wants me to be his business partner again, so I thought... he will take me again in his new project which I don’t know that he had already found an efficient business partner. Well, if he finds it, you need to cancel all meetings with him. Is it clear Ms. Garcia? "

"Yes, Mr. Hynes. I will. "

"All right. I need to work now, I still have a lot of work to finish. I’ll call you if I need your help."

"Okay, Mr. Hynes. I’ll go now. "
