Chapter 243 - My Man (1) (1/2)

”Do I have to attend the banquet?” Wilson groaned in annoyance as he spoke into his phone's speaker.  He had just come out of the operation theater after performing a twelve hours long major surgery. The poor man had not even changed out of his scrubs and here was, being invited to a banquet.

If it wasn't for Blythe, he wouldn't have bothered to even pick up the call. He was about to change into his casual clothes and have some sleep, but his plans flew right out of the window after hearing the demands of his man.

”Oh! Come on. It's a party that I am throwing in celebration of our recent project with your sister-in-law's company.” Blythe replied to him.

Wilson shook his head in helplessness as he could hear the annoyance in his voice. ”I just got out of the operation theater, and I haven't slept a wink in the last twenty-four hours.” He tried to make him understand his point, but he failed in doing so.

”You can take a nap for an hour and then drag yourself here. You don't have to dress up formally, just bring yourself and I will be more than happy.” Blythe tried his best to make him say yes. ”Moreover, we haven't met in so long.” He played his last card knowing full well that Wilson could argue him over it.

”F***!” Wilson cursed at him loudly before heaving out a long sigh. ”Alright, I will be there. But I at least need to sleep for two hours, so I might be a little late.” He continued only to get a couple of yes from him. Even by the sound of his yeses, he could tell how excited he was to meet him.

He wouldn't have agreed to him if it wasn't for his last remark. They have actually not met in the last two weeks for real as Blythe was always busy running his company, whereas he was busy with his patients and surgeries. His schedule was too tightly packed that he barely got any time to chat with him over the phone.

”I will forward you the details about the venue. See you there, my love.” Blythe's voice made him come out his own thoughts. Just as he was about to reply to him he heard a faint sound of him blowing a kiss into the phone's speaker before he disconnected the call, not waiting for his reply.

Wilson chuckled lightly to himself as he stared at his phone's screen. Just as he was about to put it away, the screen lit up again, showing a text message which was from Blythe. He clicked on the notification and saw the context of his text before switching his phone off.

'He sure was in a hurry.' He thought inwardly as he recalled the location of the banquet which was mentioned in it. A faint smile embraced his lips as his thoughts drifted back to the last line which had some hugs and kisses for him. Shaking his head in helplessness, he began to head towards the changing area.

Crystal chandeliers glimmered under the pale lights as flashes of bright white light tried to capture the glitz and glamour of the venue, more specifically, the high profile guests which were invited to the banquet. Only a number of media firms were invited, and they were given specific instructions which needed to be met if they want to be invited again in the future ceremonies held by the Jamesons.

The center of attention was the man who was dressed in an all black three piece outfit. The only white his attire had, was the button down shirt which was peeping through in between the lapels of his coat. A rustic golden clip which was in the shape of an anchor, was pinned on the left side of his coat, giving his attire a majestic look.

A woman who was dressed in an all black gown, was clinging to his left arm with her hands tightly wrapped around his biceps. The matching sequences on her dress glimmered as she moved around with him. They look no less than a couple who was madly in love.

The man's eyes roamed around the entire area as he looked for a certain someone. It had already been two hours since the banquet started and there was still no sign of him. He had tried to give him a call, but to his dismay, the number was switched off.

'You….' He was about to curse the person inwardly for being so late, but his thoughts trailed off when his eyes landed on the entrance.

Wilson entered the wide hall with a bored expression on his face. The dark circles around his eyes were enough of a proof about his lack of sleep, but they didn't make him look any less handsome. He was wearing a dark persian blue two piece suit, paired with an off-white button down shirt. A ship's wheel shaped pin was fastened on his breast pocket. It was in the same shade as Blythe's anchor, showing that the two pins were from the same collection.
