Chapter 638: Pegasus
” Oh, tell me what you think. ” Jayden said while looking at his mobile, he was looking over the details of Kyle’s son, Kyle is the scientist who is leading the group named Nyx.
” I think he might want to purchase our company now that we are struck between difficult choices, or maybe he would want to become our partner by offering deals that could only benefit him. ” Kate said with a pondering expression.
” I think so, how long before we arrive there? And he will be there on time, right? ” Jayden asked after he closed his mobile and placed it back in his pocket.
” Um About ten or so minutes, and I had already informed him about this meeting so I think he should have already arrived there, but I’ll send him another message as a reminder. ”
Kate said and then took out his mobile, then their ride continued silently with only Xerome’s occasional talks.
After some time the car stopped in front of a luxurious hotel, they got off and Kate brought them to their booked table and when they arrived at their table they found that the person they were supposed to meet had not arrived yet.
” Weren’t you saying he will be here? ” Jayden asked in a calm tone and sat down, he knew it was not Kate’s fault and he could already understand the attitude of the man who was coming here for the meeting.
” Sorry boss maybe they are stuck in traffic, let me call them. ” Saying so Kate walked away, Xerome and Jayden sat on their chairs and looked around.
Soon Xerome’s eyes landed on a beautiful woman who was sitting alone, he immediately began to comb his hair and jerked his clothes then he mumbled to Jayden:
” Boss you had taught me before how to get close to a woman right, please tell me how should I start the conversation with her. ”
” Hmmm, that one? ” Jayden looked at the woman and then looked at the surrounding after thinking for a few seconds he replied:
” First try asking her if you can sit with her since there are only a few free seats, if she allows you then you may have a chance with her and if she outright rejects you without showing any emotion then it is better to just give up.
But if she rejects you and then politely explains the reason, then you may have a chance.
So if you get the seat then start by praising her like, you look adorable, this is the most important part so don’t mess up and then start talking about anything like her jewellery or makeup or the reason why she is alone I mean anything. That’s all. ”
Jayden explained in detail, after listening to it all Xerome nodded with a confident smile and then he stood up and walked towards the woman while Jayden observed it from his chair.
” Can I sit here with you? ” Xerome asked, as he stood straight beside the beautiful woman with a small smile.
” Uh… Sure, you can sit here. ” The woman also seemed a little interested in Xerome.
As he sat down Xerome remembered Jayden’s advice so he looked straight into her eyes and with his smile widening he decided to praise her exactly as Jayden told him.
But for some reason, he was panicking maybe because Jayden was also observing him so he got under performance pressure: ‘ You look adorable, you look adorable you look adorable, yes I can do it. ‘
” You look a- affordable. ”
*SLAP*
Just as he had said those words the sound of a slap rang out all the surrounding people looked there instantly but by then Xerome stood up and walked away as if nothing had happened, even the red mark disappeared from his face within a few seconds.
” Just sit at any other table. ” Jayden spoke before Xerome could get closer to his seat, since he was attracting too much attention and Jayden could feel the woman’s glare towards Xerome he was getting the second hand embarrassment.
” Y- Yes boss. ” Xerome mumbled and looked around after seeing an empty seat he walked towards it and just as he sat down, somehow his bad luck curse worked and one leg of the chair actually broke throwing him back on the floor.
And just as Xerome stood up his head hit the waiter’s tray and he ended up getting a glass of juice and a plate full of noodles over his entire body.
Everyone was watching him while Xerome just sighed and took another seat as he sat down and threw away the noodles from over his clothes and head.
” Did something happen here? ” Kate walked closer to Jayden and asked, he didn’t see Xerome at first and when he saw he just shook his head.
” No, it’s nothing, when is that man coming here, he sure knows how to make people wait. ” Jayden asked feeling annoyed, the man who was coming despite knowing about the meeting early on kept him waiting.
” He is here. ” Kate spoke and gestured towards the door, from which a middle aged man with half of his hair white and a little fat body walked inside.
Beside him was a female assistant and she looked pretty, after arriving in front of Jayden the man showed a bright smile and while extending his hand towards Jayden he spoke:
” Haa The traffic these days is really bad, sorry if I made you wait. ” After Jayden did not shake hands with him he just sat down in front while maintaining the same smile.
” Did you come here directly from your company? ” Kate asked in a respectful tone.
” Yes, I did. ” The man replied without thinking much.
” Ah Is that so? But I am not seeing any traffic from your office to this place and to be honest you could have arrived here in less than ten minutes even if you had walked since it’s so close. ”
Kate said as the smile on that man’s face almost faltered but he maintained his composure and spoke:
” Haha sorry but I had to stop by somewhere before coming here, anyway you may already know me but let me introduce myself- ” While the man was speaking Jayden interrupted him.
” No I don’t know you, and you don’t look anything special so I may forget about you just after this meeting. ”
” Haha You sure know how to joke around, anyway I am Dan the CEO of Pegasus- ” While Dan was speaking Jayden took out his mobile and began to scroll not paying him any attention.
” Whatever just tell me why you wanted to meet me. ” Jayden said in a bored tone without even glancing a that man.
” Ha haha Yes, I like your attitude no wastage of time and directly to the point, I know recently your company has been going through a hard time, you are barely hanging on and after the incident with the terrorists, your condition had become even worse. ”
Dan spoke and took some papers from his assistant.
” My company Pegasus is rising very quickly, as you can see here for yourself. ” Dan spoke.
