Chapter 5 Bring Me The Ladies

• Mr Bertram froze his steps by the door immediately and stared at his son with a blank expression on his face.
• “Are you okay? You sounded like you just saw a ghost” his Father rolled his eyes and Aurelio laughed up lowly.
• “Pardon me father, I was just so surprised” he replied as he stood up and bowed his head in greetings.
• His Father released a sigh and walked in further then took his seat on a very comfy couch.
• Aurelio stared at his father deeply trying to see if he can guess what his father has to say from his facial expression, but he got nothing and then he sat down opposite his father as he picked up the magazine in his hands.
• “So good morning father, hope you slept well ?” he asked his Father and heard him laugh
• “ Aurelio, this is unlike you.. just cut it off and be the real you I know” his father chuckled and then a maid walked to him serving him a cup of black coffee.
• “Thanks” he muttered as she bowed her head low and left.
• Mr Bertram turned back to look at his son then sighed as he picked up the cup of coffee from the glass table before him and took a sip into his mouth.
• “Dad, you and I know why you are here isn’t?” Aurelio asked his dad already beginning to loose patience.
• “I know that right son, and I’ll let you know what your grandpa concluded” his father replied and kept the cup down back to the table
• “We had a discussion last night like you know, and a lot was said about you..if you can really handle the company and at the same time the organization” his father said and Aurelio groaned lowly
• “Dad, please don’t tell me you told grandpa that I can’t. Did you?” Aurelio asked his dad and let his head fall
• “Nope I didn’t son, I know my son is capable of it but still your grandpa came up with another talk” he replied
• “wait a minute, what’s the conclusion… that’s Is what I want to know dad” he replied getting tired of his dad talks
• “Easy as ABC son, you will know and then it would be left to you” he replied.
• Aurelio picked the magazine up from the table and covered his face with it groaning lowly.
• “just tell me what it is and cut the long story short please father” Aurelio replied
• “You need to get a lady pregnant!!” Aurelio Dad’s loud voice rang in his head and he slowly put down the magazine he had used to cover his face giving his dad a questioning look.
• “Dad… excuse me?” he replied clearly shocked by his dad words.
• “you should know by now that your grandpa doesn’t want things to end in a generation, he likes his things ongoing from generations to generations and in this case you’re demanding for power.. that is what you need to get It from the both of us” His father replied leaving him shocked again.
• “Since when did the both of you start this.. off course getting a lady pregnant isn’t bad or hard, I can” Aurelio replied with an appealing look.
• His dad scoffed at his reply, his facial expression showed he was ready.
• “This is not just to get a random lady pregnant, a lady that you’d raise your child with!, a Lady you’d be sure you can live with!” he demanded as Aurelio rolled his eyes, he was clearly taken aback
• “Seriously all these Dad? Just because of what!!” Aurelio groaned aloud throwing the magazine in his hands away.
• “No more words, your grandpa and I already agreed to it” His dad said before he stood up and Aurelio stood up along with him.
• “Dad..wait” he said immediately stopping his dad from leaving
• “It is already clear to you Aurelio, easy as ABC, get a woman you are sure of will be a good mother to your kids pregnant.. just the pregnancy is all you need to get this position. You can see how easy it is so don’t make it sound or even look hard Aurelio” his dad replied
• “oh yeah, it is easy you are right but still…dad” he sighed
• “Aurelio, your grandpa has given you just 2 weeks to come back with a result and if you can’t.. you won’t be given the position and power you want. That’s should be clear to you” he said and again taking Aurelio aback
• “What?! How am I supposed to use 2 weeks to do that” Aurelio replied with his jaw dropped down
• “Aurelio.. I am your father, I Know you f*ck, it should be easy too for you. I’d advice you.. don’t even think of sleeping with a slut.. you would just be sent abroad immediately..that is a total disqualification” his dad said
• “This is sounding like a contest to me dad, but you and grandpa said it is my right.. why all these??”
• “It us your right yes! We know! But still..it is your right to get a responsible woman after you who would produce an heir for you too” he replied
• “And to make things easy, any gender is accepted” he added and Aurelio sighed as he fell back on his couch
• “Where do I get a responsible lady to sleep with?” he asked no one in particular as he looked around lost in thoughts
• “I am sure you can Aurelio, just two weeks, she doesn’t have to be a month pregnant.. you can bring her to us once you’ve confirmed she is pregnant. And then we get things done” he replied and Aurelio nods his head
• “if that is the case… there is no problem Dad” he replied and stood up
• “In that case, talk to you later” he replied and then he made his way out through the door
• “and yeah Selina, what a nice coffee you made!!” his dad exclaimed
• Erica had arrived at her workplace 6 minutes late and just as she sneaked in she met her colleague.
• “Erica?” Molly gasped in shock to see her. Erica jerked back at first then she sighed squeezing her chest
• “why are you late? Mrs Sandra had been asking of you” she added
• “She did?” Erica asked even though she knew yes she would
• “Yes I did Erica, why on earth are you late?” she heard her boss voice from behind
• Erica turned back to her immediately with her head low as fast as possible.
• “Ma..Ma..I’m sorry I didn’t mean to” she replied immediately and heard her sigh
• “I am forgiving you because it is your first time.. and I know you didn’t mean to Erica, but next time.. don’t even make it possible to come late.. by all means you shouldn’t be late because I will have no excuse to give Mr Rogers” she replied and Erica nodded her head immediately and raised it up to see Mrs Sandra leave
• “Get to work now” she said to her and immediately Erica left with her colleague after releasing a heavy sigh.
• “ Damn you are lucky.. this same Mrs Sandra don’t pardon lateness.. I envy you” molly laughed beside her and left with her to resume for the day.
• Aurelio had gone back to his room to think of all his father said.
• Grandpa? What on Earth made Grandpa think of that?
• Gosh this feels so heavy on me. “It’s okay Aurelio you can do this” he said in his thoughts and then his personal guard walked to him.
• “Sir.. what’s next?” Rowan asked him and then he sighed
• “Bring me the ladies.. you should know my type, elegant, beautiful, and top class ladies”
• “Bring them one by one to me let’s get this done” Aurelio replied as he tucked his hands into his pocket
• “I want at least three of them ready by tonight” he replied
• “Are you going to sleep with them at once?” Rowan asked him and he laughed
• “Threesome? No.. one hour one lady” he replied and then Rowan coughed lowly
• “Sir isn’t this still risky.. what if the three of them gets pregnant for you at the same time?” he asked him and then Aurelio eyes went wide
• He hasn’t thought of it yet . “Gosh” he clicked his tongue and turned to Rowan.
• “This isn’t easy as I thought or as he said, I’d take the risk Rowan.. I have just two weeks to get this done” he replied and Rowan nodded his head as he left his room.
• And then Aurelio angrily sat on his bed.. “Grandpa???” he slapped his head
• “Does he wants me to get married indirectly.. even if that’s what you want..I can get a divorce” Aurelio laughed and then he thought of a lady he had met in one of his Dad anniversary party.
• “Zayn Hartley” he smiled and picked up his phone.
• She is one recognized lady in the city, she’s a beauty and at the same time a top class one.
• “She could be the one” he smiled dialed her number to call her.
• After several rings, she picked up at last.
• “Hey Dustin.. sorry I missed your call” her voice came up
• “It’s okay Hartley, how are you by the ways?” he smiled
• “ I’m very well thanks, how are you too? Is everything okay?” She asked him
• “ Yeah, I was wondering if you can come over today.. I’m a little bored at home here.. and I missed the cake you made me” he replied and folded his lips in hoping she would agree
• “Seriously?” she laughed
• “It’s okay Dustin, I left the company minutes ago heading home so I’d come over right away, you are lucky I made some this morning so I’ll be coming over with the remaining I have with me” she replied and he almost screamed out happily.
• “Thanks Hartley, I’ll be waiting then” he replied as he ended the call with a smile on his face.
• “I am irresistible.. I am sure I will get you Hartley.. even though you can be picky” he smiled and went to get dressed immediately making sure he smell good.
• “I don’t mind sleeping with 6 of you tonight.. I must get what I want” he said to himself and smiled before he fell on his bed with his arms apart.
• 45 MINUTES LATER
• Aurelio was already in the lobby waiting for her, in no time she would arrive.
• And just as he had expected..she walked in with her men behind her.
• “Hartley” he smiled as soon as he saw her and went to her as they exchanged hugs..
• She signaled her men to excuse them and they did.. that brought inner joy to Aurelio!
• “great! Going well” he smiled and said In his thoughts.
• Hartley then sat down beside him and took out the cake.
• 3 cup cakes, a vanilla, strawberry and blueberry flavored cake.
• Immediately he took a bite from the vanilla cake.. “Damn, just as delicious as you are” he started with and Hartley laughed out
• “Aurelio.. are you being serious, are you trying to flirt?” she laughed and then he did too
• “Oh no.. I am just saying the truth, just that I haven’t tasted you” he smiled and then she laughed out
• “Aurelio.. you better quit it, I am engaged” she said to him. Her last words hit his head like a baseball bat.
• He turned to her and saw her waving her left hands at him showing him the giant diamond ring around her finger.
• He gulped down immediately and coughed out.
• “You’re engaged??” that was the last thing he wanted to hear.
