160 Friend or Foe (1/2)

”Everyone here is family, you can say anything you want to say to me in the presence of them all.” That was what Sky wanted to say. Then she thought of how hard they've worked to get Aidenn on their side and knowing how stubborn he could be, she smiled to everyone.

Without her saying a word, they all left the room. She knew she was gonna tell them everything eventually. She quicky sent a text to Anton. She made Aidenn comfortable then she excused herself and went into her private room.

Minutes later, she returned with a frown on her face. ”I'm very sorry Mr Aidenn, but you were right about my shoes. My waist hurts, I don't think I can wear them anymore. And you came in earlier than expected, so I couldn't get my sandals from my private room. Can you be so kind to help me get it? I'm afraid I'm not tall enough. I couldn't reach it.” Sky said embarrassed.

Aidenn noticed her uneasiness. He didn't want to go into some woman's private room but he could tell she was embarrassed plus this isn't just any woman. It's a pregnant CEO. He sighed as he followed her to the room. and helped her with her sandals.

”Women.” He thought to himself. She didn't pick any of the sandals at the bottom shelf, but the one on the top shelve. The one that looked like it hasn't been worn in a while. He doubts if even the cleaners can reach there.

And when he asked her, she used colour as an excuse. Matching colours.

Aidenn adjusted his suit jacket as they got back into the office.

”Thanks Mr Aidenn. Now what is it you wanted to talk to me about?” Sky asked as she sat opposite him.

”I really don't know if you'll like what I have to say but I actually don't care. I want us to make a deal!.”

Sky smiled as she played with her wristwatch.

”I'm sure your precious Ms Rose won't be happy that you are here. If it's something I can agree with then I'll make the deal.”

”Not that I care much about the company cause I'm not a big fan of late Mr Jayden, I believe it shouldn't be in hands of someone like Ms Rose. If you can help me prevent her from spreading any news about my scandal online. I won't let anyone know I'm Mr Jayden's son until we are both ready.”

”I think I'd like to hear the real story behind your scandal. Something tells me you are too smart to make that kind of mistake with someone like your ex.”

Sky listened attentively as he explained everything to her. She sighed as he finished talking.

”Well how about I offer you a better deal? You can say no if you want to, but I assure you it will be difficult for you to win this battle.” Sky said with a smirk.

”I'm all ears Ms Sky”

”I want you to be true to yourself. I knew Mr Jayden...yeah he loved the ladies but he was an angel. There's no way he'd know about you and ignore you. Are you saying your mom wasn't with other men by the time she was with Mr Jayden? Apart from the picture and fake certificate Ms Rose gave you, what other proof do you have that he's your father?”

”I'm sure your mother must have left you a clue before she died. Now this is my deal. I'll give you today and tomorrow for you to look within yourself and tell me the truth. If you do this...I'll remove your name from the blacklist and get you your license back. There's one more thing you should know, and that is if you lie to me, I'll find out.”

Aidenn didn't say a word, he only looked at her.

Realising he wasn't saying anything. She smiled as he watched her, Sky knew he didn't trust her, so she continued

”It's your choice Aidenn, that's the deal I'll accept.”

”I don't know why you doubt me but that's fine.I'll see you tomorrow.” Aidenn said smiling.

Sky saw he was about to leave and Anton wasn't here yet so she decided to stall him.

”How's Adrianna, how's her health now? I haven't had the time to visit her.” Sky watched his expression as she mentioned her sisters name.

”She's doing good. She said she'll be here later today....by the way you two seem close.”
