MARTINEZ GROUPS OF COMPANIES<

“So I will like you guys to start thinking about who you're going to vote for as the vice president of this company”Ray said.

The board committee started murmuring.

Chris was just smiling beside Amanda knowing fully well that they will all vote for him after bribing all the staff.

Ryan, who doesn't care about being the vice president of the company, was just thinking about what Rose did earlier.

It seems like he can't get her off his mind, especially the kissing scene.

He touched his lips.

“She's really crazy”Ryan said loudly, remembering how she hugged him tightly.

All the committee heard him and they all stared at him including his father.

He was really lost in thoughts because he didn't notice.

“Ryan”Ray called.

“Yes Father”Ryan said and could see all eyes staring at him.

Chris was laughing secretly.

“It seems your mind is not here”Ray said.

“I'm sorry father”

“Let the vote begin”Ray said.

All the committee started voting, finally the vote came to an end.

“After counting the votes and knowing who is going to be the vice president of this company”

“I'm actually happy and also disappointed”

“Chris”Ray called.

“Yes, father”

“I'm really disappointed in you,how could you bribe all the committee so they could vote for you”Ray said.

Chris was shocked beyond bond.

“Father”Chris said slowly.

Amanda was also in shock.

Ryan just kept quiet watching.

“You actually have the highest vote but after finding out you bribe them,I can't give you the position as the vice president of this company anymore”

“So our new vice president of this company goes to Ryan Martinez”Ray said and the committee started clapping.

“Thank you everyone, thank you very much”Ryan smiled standing up.

Chris fumes in anger as they clap for Ryan.

“Father”Chris yelled.

“This is unfair”Chris shouted.

“Chris shut up”Amanda pinched him.

“Mom leave me alone”

“What father is doing is unfair,I had the highest vote but he decided to give Ryan the position”Chris said and Ray kept quiet.

“That's because you cheated”Ryan said.

“Darn you b*stard”Chris rushed toward Ryan.

He pulled Ryan by his collar and was about to punch him when he realized that a lot of people were watching him including Ray.

Ryan smiles.

“Go ahead,do it, are you scared?”Ryan whispered.

“Do it b*$tard”

Chris let go of Ryan's collar and ran out.

Everyone was quiet and no one was ready to talk after what happened.

Ray was disappointed in the kind of step son he had,he just kept on staring at Amanda who was avoiding his gaze.

Ryan decided to break the silence.

“Thank you everyone once again and me being the vice president of this company I promise not to disappoint any of you”Ryan said.

“ Congratulations Mr Ryan”The committee started to congratulate him.

…….

“I hate him,I hate him so much”Chris said and sat beside Rose.

“How could I lose to him?”Chris muttered looking disappointed.

“Are you okay?”Rose asked.

Chris stared at her for a while, unable to take his eyes off her.

“Who are you?”Chris asked.

“Ohh! My name is Rose and you”Rose smiled.

“Chris”

“Do you work here because I haven't seen you around here before”

“No”

“What are you doing here all alone,are you waiting for someone?”Chris asked.

“Yes”

“Who”

“Ryan”

“That b*stard”Chris muttered and Rose stared at him.

“Why did you call him a b@stard”Rose asked.

Chris ignores her question.

“Why are you waiting for him anyway?”Chris asked and Rose also ignored his question.

“Hey, I'm talking to you”Chris said.

“Why should I answer you”

“You ignored my question at first”Rose said.

“Ohh! I'm sorry”

“So tell me the reason you call him a b@stard”

“He's a b*stard to me”

“He stole everything from me”Chris said.

“What”

“Ryan can't do that,I have known him for a while now”Rose said.

“You really don't know that much about him,he's my step brother and he just stole my position as the vice president of this company today”Chris lied.

“I'm really sad right now”

“Sorry”Rose muttered, patting his back.

“I can try talking to him about it, maybe he can return the position”Rose said.

“He won't listen,he is just as stubborn as his dad”

“His dad”Rose said, looking confused.

“Are you two not related?”Rose asked.

“Yes,we are not related at all,not by mother or father”Chris said.

“Ohh!”

“How are you related to Ryan?”Chris asked.

“I'm just a maid in Ryan's mansion”Rose smiled.

“Wow! As beautiful as you're”

“Yes”

“Can we become friends”

“Yes”Rose replied.

“Do you mind exchanging numbers with me?”Chris smiled, bringing out his phone.

“I'm sorry I won't be able to do that”Rose said.

“Why”

“I actually lost my phone already”

“I can get you a new one in this company”

“You guys sell phone”

“Yes,we sell all different types of products”Chris said.

“Okay”Rose smiled standing up.

PRESIDENT OFFICE×

“Dad,I'm sorry I will like you to give Chris the position instead of me,father”Ryan said.

“Why?”

“I thinks he need it the position more”

“Are you out of your mind?”Ray asked.

“Not yet father ”Ryan replied.

“Father, think about it, just give him the position,I already have my own company”Ryan smiled and walked out of the office.

“Please Ray, just listen to Ryan”Amanda begged.

“What did you tell him?”Ray asked.

“Nothing”

“What the h*ll did you tell him to make him change his mind”Ray yelled.

“I swear I didn't tell him anything”Amanda muttered.

…..

Ryan rests his back on the door as he listens to their conversation.

He wiped the tears rolling down from his eyes.

FLASHBACK↓

TWENTY MINUTES AGO.

After the board meeting Amanda calls Ryan into Ray's office.

“Ryan”Amanda called.

“If you don't want to lose your sister as you lose your mom,I will like to advise you to tell your father to change his mind so that my son can be the vice president of this company if not I will just kill your sister just like I killed your mom do you still remember that night”Amanda smiled.

“Just do as I told you and I can promise you your sister will be safe”She laughed.

“Okay”Ryan said sadly and left the office.

“Like mother like son”

“Ah ah ah”Amanda laughed.

FLASHBACK ENDED:

Ryan Smiles sadly as he walks away from the door.

“Let go”Chris said and held Rose's hand and they started leaving.

“Rose”Ryan called.

Chris and Rose stop on their track.

“Ryan”Rose smiled.

Ryan walked closer to them.

“What are you doing with him?”Ryan asked.

“Ohh! He's my new friend”She said.

“Friend”Ryan muttered.

“Yeah”Chris said.

“Let go home”Ryan grabbed her hand.

He was about to walk away with her when Chris pulled Rose back.

“Let go of her jerk”Ryan said.

“You should let go of her first,we want to go and get something”Chris said, holding Rose's hand more tightly.

“What did you two want to get”

“There is no need for you to know”Chris said.

“Rose,what did you want to get with him?”Ryan said.

“Actually it's a phone”Rose said.

“So let go of her b#stard”Chris smiled.

“We have to go home,you should be the one to let go of her”Ryan said.

“We should let her decide then”Chris said.

“Rose, who do you like to go with?”Ryan asked.

Rose stared at Ryan for a while before staring at Chris.

“I will go with…”

“Sir”A staff member rushed toward them.

“Mr Chris, your father wants to see you”The staff said.

“Asshhh!”Chris let go of Rose.

“Bye Rose”Chris smiled and left with the staff.

Ryan also let go of her and started walking toward the company entrance and Rose followed.

“Hwy,are you mad at me?”Rose asked as they entered the car.

Ryan ignored her and drove off.

“You guys are having a test tomorrow”The teacher said as the bell rang.

“Have a nice day”The teacher said and left.

The students started leaving the class one after the other.

Ariella stood in front of Andrew.

“Andrew, would you like to go out with me?”Ariella smiled.

“I'm sorry Ari,I won't be able to go”

“Why”

“I want to study for tomorrow's test”Andrew said.

“Can we study together”

“I don't know yet”

“Okay”Ariella said.

“Ariella, we can study together if you want, especially the female parts of the body”Vincent said.

“I mean the down parts”Vincen smiled.

“Don't get me upset son of a b**ch”Ariells yelled at him.

“Let the three of us study together then”Daniella smiled.

“It going to be easier that way since Andrew stay at my place”

“For real”

“Yeah,let go”Daniella dragged her out.

“They didn't even ask for my own opinion”Andrew muttered and walked out of the class.

RYAN'S MANSION ♦

Rose got down from the car when they got to the mansion.

As soon as she got down Ryan drove off.

“He's really a jerk”She entered the mansion.

“I wonder what's between him and Chris, it's like they hate each other”She muttered while sitting on the couch.

“I'm really tired,you f**k me really bad”Elena said.

“I'm sure you enjoy it ”

“Yes,your d**k is the best”She said rubbing it.

“Yeah”He squeeze her b**bs.

Ryan got to Simon place and parked his car.

He walked in and walked straight to Simon's room.

“Buddy open this door”Ryan knocks at the door.

“Who is it”

“Don't you recognize my voice,it's your best friend”Ryan said.

Fear gripped Elena when she recognized Ryan's voice.

“What are we going to do now?”Elena whispered.

“Just calm down”Simon whispered back.

“Ryan”

“Yes”

“Hold on, I'm coming”Simon said.

“Okay”

“You have to hide”

“Where”

“My closet”

Elena quickly picked up her clothes from the floor and hid inside the closet.

Simon put on his clothes back and walked toward the door.

Simon sighs before opening it.

“Hey buddy”

“What took you so long before opening the door?”Ryan walked in.

“Nothing,just doing some exercise”Simon smiled.

“Ohh!”Ryan sat down on the bed.

“I thought you were with a girl here”Ryan said.

“No,I'm just alone here”

“You didn't tell me you're coming here today”Simon sat beside him.

“Yeah,I just feel like seeing you today”Ryan stood up.

“Are you leave already”

“Yes”

“So soon”

“I just came to see you”Ryan was walking toward the door when he noticed something at the corner of the room.

He walked there and picked it up,it was actually a red panties with a little net in front of it.

“Who owns this?”Ryan asked.

Simon remembers throwing the panties there after taking it off of Elena.

“Who owns it buddy?”Ryan smiled.

“Ummm…umm”Simon started stammering.
