Wild Flower Ch. 02

Seeing him, Angelo smiled brightly, instructing his guard to wait for him. He rushed to his husband and both of them met.

"Hey! What is it?"

Gabriel smiled brightly. "You left without telling me."

"I am sorry," Angelo had totally forgotten. "I was just in a hurry that I forgot that I... am sorry."

"It's okay. But you definitely can't leave without my kiss, can you?"

"No!" Angelo breathed as he felt his heart begin racing. "Your kisses always start my day. I actually didn't forget. I just didn't want to wake you up. I am really..."

Before Angelo even finished what he was saying, Gabriel gripped his waist and then locked his eyes with him. They were staring into each other's eyes as if it was the last thing they were gonna do. Angelo saw the love in his husband's eyes and it just made him happy. Before he even realized what the hell was going on, Gabriel kissed him softly on the lips. The kiss was warm and gentle and it was assurance that he was gonna have a great day at work. He was really looking forward to it.

Pulling away from Angelo's lips, Gabriel blushed on his nose, enjoying the feel of his wonderful hot breath on his face.

"I love you and have a great day at work." He breathed, rubbing on Angelo's hot lips.

"I love you too, baby."

"Okay. I will call if I miss you too much."

"I'll be waiting."

With a final kiss, Angelo waved to his husband and then rushed to his car. Gabriel waved at his husband, watching his car leaving. He had a bright smile on his face. He knew he was gonna miss him like crazy. But he had promised to call so it was alright to him.

Angelo on the other hand couldn't stop looking behind to see his waving and smiling husband. He was missing him already but he had so much work to do after staying at home the previous day so he still had a lot of work to do.

The car drove out of the compound until he couldn't see his husband anymore. He took a sigh of relief, removing any thoughts from his head. All he had to concentrate on was just the work that he was gonna be doing.

"We are here." The guard said, getting Angelo out of his thoughts. He nodded.

The guard then moved out of the car and opened the door wider for him. He took his phone and elegantly got out, looking all around the premises. He felt happy and he took a wonderful sigh of relief.

Angelo was now at a different company. It was a food company, his food company which produced millions and millions on a daily basis. His work wasn't needed much at that company as much as it was needed at his other company but he made sure to pass around as many times as he could because he didn't trust anyone to do his work.

The food company was a beautiful, big company with 9 floors. It was specialized in making food and beverages. In fact, he also had an orchard where he grew his own fruits used in the production of his juice.

Taking a deep breath, Angelo started heading inside the building. The guard at the door bowed and then opened it for him. Angelo had expected to find the workers busy with their work but once he entered the first floor, he found a number of people just talking and not actually doing their work.

The first thing that took control of Angelo's body was rage. He was really mad. He clenched his fists, looking at the people that didn't seem to notice he was in the building. First of all, Angelo couldn't still believe his eyes when he actually saw the people that were supposed to be working and yet they were busy wasting their time and his money when they were supposed to be working. He had come with a good mood but no matter what he really did... those people seemed to be getting on his nerves even when he was in a good mood.

With an angry groan, Angelo gestured to his guard who immediately knew what to do. The guard quickly rushed to the nearby desk and then raised his hand so high in the air. Then he hit on the desk so hard that it made a terrible noise. The people stopped talking and then moved their eyes to the direction of the noise.

They all lost their smiles when they actually saw who it was that had come. Their hearts began pounding... their breaths became harsh... they were visibly trembling and their eyes widened, staring at the man who was their boss.

"Surprised to see me?" Angelo chuckled, slowly walking towards them. "Well! Continue with what you were doing. I wanna join you because it looks like you have a lot of time to waste." He yelled, filling his angry voice throughout the room.

The people couldn't utter any word. For a few seconds it was so quiet that everyone could have heard a pin drop. None of them actually had any word to say. They were so scared that their trembling intensified beyond expectations. They had no freaking idea what to do. They couldn't have understood how he would have come inside without them even noticing.

"Well!" He shrugged, looking at all of them. "Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on here?"

They all remained quiet and stationary. They couldn't move an inch of their bodies. It was really scary.

"Are you deaf or should I send you all out before you can actually tell me what the fuck is going on?" He moved his eyes to the secretary who seemed even more terrified than everyone else. She was a stupid brunette who made him mad. "You?" He gestured. "Care to explain what's going on here? Why the hell are you all standing here? There is a lot of work and you chose to stand and act stupid? Every second that passes makes me lose millions here so..." He snapped his finger. "What the fuck is going on here? Say something or I promise you'll use that door over there." He pointed to the exit.

The secretary gulped. "We are really sorry, sir. We were just on a little break and..."

"Break?" He gasped, taking a quick glance at the watch. "What the fuck are you talking about? Since when did you start having breaks twenty minutes after reporting for work?"

"Well, sir..." A man who seemed a little confident spoke. "The truth is that we were actually..."

"If you are gonna lie to me then I guess you better stop right there because I am not interested." He warned. "Now get back to work before I send all of you out of this company."

The people didn't need to be told twice. They rushed back to their posts and got busy with their work. There were just a few people on the first floor, mainly cleaners, secretaries and other unimportant workers but they also had work to do.

"By the way," He said harshly, shouting so that everyone could hear. "None of you are gonna have a break, not even a lunch break."

"What?" The people gasped. "How are we..."

"If you are desperate enough to have a lunch break then you are free to... walk out that door." He yelled. "However, I don't wanna see your two left legs in my company again. I am not forcing anyone. You have rights of choice so it's either you heed to my orders or you get your carcass out of my building. Next time you'll think twice before acting like idiots. By the way," he folded his arms. "Don't you think you are a little too old for gossips?'

With a loud laugh of mock, Angelo headed for elevator. He heard the people complain but he was too happy to even care what they were thinking at that time. He swore if that foolishness continued, he was gonna find himself some new staff in all his companies. The current ones were too stupid and too nosy for his liking.

Angelo first passed on all floors, checking if everything else was going exactly like the way he wanted it to go. He first checked how the packaging was going on, how the branding was going on, how the processing and manufacturing was going on. He talked to the man in charge of everything and then got good news that the workers in the factory were really good and he was making sure of it. Everything in the factory was going perfectly. In fact, many foods and beverages had been produced and they were ready for distribution. Gee! He was really progressing.

"Good..." Angelo smiled brightly, looking all around. There were so many boxes of pre-packed goods. "At least there are some sensible people in this company whom I can trust." He chuckled softly. "You are doing a great job and I must say that I am really impressed with you."

"Thank you, sir." The man said with a smile. "I will never ever disappoint you, sir. I know how you like things to be done so I will always go beyond that and impress you more. All my workers are dedicated to their work."

"Hmm," Angelo actually smiled at his worker, patting on his shoulder. "I have no words for you. I think you and your workers deserve a rise in your pay and really big bonus." Angelo loved rewarding hardworking workers like them.

"Really, sir?" The man gasped, covering his mouth.

"Yes! Continue with the same effort and it is going to be more than you can expect."

"We will!" the man actually jumped. "Thank you."

With a bright smile, Angelo turned and left. He headed for his office on the 6th floor. He really didn't like spending time at that company but he had no choice. After all, he enjoyed doing work personally. He didn't like others doing things for him unless it was his husband. Now he knew he was heading for the stars and nothing was gonna bring him down. His goal was to be the richest businessman in the entire country.

Being the richest young businessman was not what he wanted. His goal was to dominate over everything. He wanted more power than he actually had. He wanted more money than he actually had. He wanted to be known as the boss and the ruler of the business world. He wanted to be the one with the crown. He wanted to be the king over everyone. He knew that time was on its way and it was gonna come soon.

***

Angelo was seated in his office, on his comfy office chair. His office was beautiful and its design was the same as the other one except for the color. This one was painted sky blue and there were lots of paintings on the walls which represented the foods and beverages his company produced. Fuck! At times there was just a lot to do. Being a business tycoon was somehow really stressful but he was more than happy to handle the stress.

Angelo was busy reviewing and signing the documents which needed his signatures. He had carefully studied them so what was left was to just sign them. He was also reviewing the accounts of the company. Millions and millions of money had come into the company in just a week. He was really in the money.

Angelo had his jacket removed. He was only in a beautiful light pink, designer's shirt which he had tucked in his trouser. He had it half way buttoned and he was looking smart but really serious with his work. He didn't need anyone to disturb him.

As he was busy signing, Angelo heard a knock on the door. He quickly moved his eyes and told anyone who was at the door to come inside. He got a little pissed when he saw that it was actually the company secretary who disturbed him.

"Sorry, sir." She apologized.

"What do you want?" He asked, a little harsh. "Didn't I say..."

"I am sorry," She gulped. "It is just that someone really important is here to see you and that's why I had to disturb you."

Angelo dropped his pen, looking at the secretary with a question mark on his forehead. Who could have been so important that visited the company? He didn't have any appointments. In fact, when he asked about the appointments, the same secretary told him he didn't have any scheduled appointments or meetings.

"Who is that important person if I may know?"

The secretary smiled brightly. "Mr. Henry Lambert, the politician."

Angelo's confusion got even more. He knew Mr. Lambert but the reason why he had come to see him was actually confusing. He had no idea what to expect from him but who knows... maybe he wanted to discuss something really important.

"Did he say what he wanted to speak to me about?"

"No!" She nodded. "He only said it was urgent."

"Okay." He sighed. "Tell him to come in."

The secretary and Angelo continued wondering what the politician wanted from him. It was not like he didn't want to see him. But anyway, he sighed as he got confident, he was gonna hear it from him when he comes to his office.

Angelo gave a sigh of relief as he dived into his work once again. It took quite a few seconds before he heard a knock on the door. The door opened and a really handsome man who looked to be in his late 40s or early 50s came inside with a wonderful smile.

The man was dressed in a beautiful black designer's suit, light green designer's shirt and beautiful black shoes. He had his hair shaven in a beautiful style and then gelled. He was looking really handsome and sexy for a man his age but Gabriel was sexier than him. His cologne, expensive cologne filled the entire room as he entered. From his beauty and elegancy, one could clearly see that he was a politician.

He was all alone with a beautiful phone in his hands. He started heading towards Angelo with one hand in his pocket. He moved like a boss and he smiled like one as well. Angelo actually liked him so much from first contact.

A grin appeared on Angelo's face, smiling as bright as he could. He quickly got up and moved from his chair, heading towards the politician.

"Welcome to my company, Mr. Lambert." He extended his hand and grinned even more when the man shook him. Even from his handshake, the man was nothing but elegant.

"Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez." Mr. Lambert gave the brightest smile, showing his super white teeth. "It is an honor to be at such a great company."

"Oh! Thank you so much." He gestured to the chair. "Please. Have a seat."

Mr. Lambert sat down. "Thank you so much."

Angelo quickly rushed to his chair on the other side of his table and closed the document which he had been signing. "So... how can I help you, sir? I heard you have something important that you came to talk to me about. To be honest, I got scared when I heard a politician had come to see me. I hope I am not in trouble." He joked.

"No!" Mr. Lambert threw his hand. "You are not in any trouble at all. I personally came to see you because I have something really important that I have to personally talk to you about."

"Okay." He smiled brightly. "Since it's so important and maybe personal... why don't we discuss it in my living room?"

"Sure." The politician chuckled.

Angelo gave back the same kind gesture, getting up from the chair. Then he started heading towards the living room with Mr. Lambert right behind him. He had his eyes in front that he couldn't even see what was happening behind him. Mr. Lambert had his eyes on his bubble butt, licking his lips sensually. It was clear that the man was dying to have a piece of him.

"Okay." Angelo sat on the couch. Mr. Lambert sat next to him. "Here we are and..." He paused and cleared his throat. "Pardon my manners, sir. Would you like..."

"No! I am absolutely fine."

"No!" Angelo nodded. "I have some tea in this flask." He pointed to the flask on the table. "It is still hot and I think that it might make you feel even better."

"Alright." The man chuckled, rubbing on his temple as a bright grin appeared on his face. "I think some tea won't hurt."

With a smile, Angelo opened the flask and then poured the man and himself some tea. He quickly grabbed the table closer to them and then gave the man the tea. The man thanked him for his kind gesture and then took a sip of the tea. He put it back on the small table.

"Okay." Angelo began. "So what really brought you to my humble company this day?"

The man chuckled, shaking his head from side to side as a bright smile appeared on his face. "Business!" He said simply.

Angelo frowned, not understanding what was going on. "Business?" He gasped, trying to get what the politician was trying to say to him. "Please, sir. I want you to be clearer."

"Okay." Lambert breathed in deeply, getting a little closer to Angelo. "I want us to talk about business. You see I am really interested in your company and I would love to invest in it." He chuckled. "This is really important to me and no wonder I personally came to talk to you."

Angelo's heart gave a sharp pound even as he stared at the man. "Are you really serious?"

"Uh-huh." The man nodded, taking another sip of his tea. "I am actually really interested in partnering in this company."

"Wow!" Angelo gasped, looking at the man. "I don't actually know what to say to you right now, sir. I mean... wow! You want..."

"Yes!" The man sighed. "I know that this might be a surprise to you but your company is really rising and I am actually interested in investing in it. So... what do you say?"

Angelo and the politician talked for minutes. Lambert was explaining to him about the entire thing while he listened attentively. The man surely had a lot of money.

Angelo knew that a politician like him investing in the company would really be beneficial to him but... on the other hand, he didn't know what to say to him. He was in a dilemma. He had managed that company alone without anyone partnering with him and it was successful. His father had managed his company alone and it had worked too but...

"Mr. Rodriguez..." Lambert called, getting Angelo out of his thoughts. He still had his hands on Angelo's thighs, probably attempting to make him horny.

"Uh!" Angelo exclaimed, chuckling nervously. "What..."

"I was asking about the partnership." Lambert laughed softly, smiling brightly. "What do you say?"

"I am, sir... err... a partnership," He stammered. "Well! You see... my empire has..."

"I know that." The man actually laughed softly. "I know you have always managed this company alone. But what I am offering is really beneficial. There are many companies out there that would jump at this opportunity but I am offering it to you."

"Yes, I know but sir..."

"Come on." Mr. Lambert rested his hand on Angelo's thigh, squeezing it tightly. "It comes with a lot of benefits and I promise you are gonna enjoy every bit of it. Think about my power and the way your company will rise. Every businessman wants his company to prosper."

Angelo moved his eyes to the hand on his thigh. He knew immediately from the way Mr. Lambert was squeezing him that it was not a friendly squeeze but rather a sensual one. Could Mr. Lambert be lusting after him, he thought as he raised his face.

A grin appeared on his face when he met with Mr. Lambert's eyes. "Uh!" He laughed softly. "I actually understand you and I know exactly what you mean by that, sir."

"Okay." Lambert smiled. "I am glad you understand me."

"Yes!" Angelo smiled. He knew what exactly he had to do. "But before I answer your question, can I ask you a really important question?"

"Of course," Lambert's hand was stuck on Angelo's thigh. In fact, he was now moving a little up, rubbing softly. But Angelo wasn't even stopping him. "You can ask anything you want and I will give it to you."

"Thank you." Angelo chirped, getting a little comfortable. "May I know the reason why you are so interested in my company?"

Hearing him, Mr. Lambert gave a deep sigh, still rubbing on his thigh. "You see, I really love it when young and talented men like you become successful. It really, really makes me feel very happy. Young men like you are my passion and inspiration and currently you are the youngest among the richest men in this country so... I think entering your company and partnering with you will be the wisest thing to do. I promise the benefits will be many." He continued talking about what he would offer to Angelo's company and many other benefits which would follow.

"Like what?"

"A lot of money, power, influence and rising to the top of the game."

He just kept on massaging Angelo's thighs which Angelo was finding to be irritating. But he couldn't show it. After all, the man was offering him heaven on earth and power, right? Isn't that what he wanted?
