23. My goddess
Turning to his secretary, Dimitri fired a number of instructions to him.
” Get me a new suit as soon as possible. Delay the flight departure by thirty minutes and make sure when we come back, I have all the details I need about that lady. It doesn’t matter where you will search, dig any available information about her.” Dimitri instructed.
Even though his secretary felt that his president’s orders were absurd he couldn’t complain and will have to carry them to the latter.
” Yes president.”replied the secretary and left to carry out the orders given to him.
Dimitri moved to the private lounge prepared by the staff and excitedly did a conference call to his two other friends.
Lucas who was reading through some files saw his phone indicating an incoming call. Taking a glance, he saw that it was a conference call from one of his friends Dimitri. He didn’t need to be wise to know that the other person was Marcus on the call.
The three of them have been friends since childhood and their friendship survived till this long.
Picking up the call, he decided to keep quiet and hear what new rant their friend was giving them this time.
” Hey buddies, guess what?” That was Dimitri’s excited voice on the phone.
” Don’t waste our time, we have serious businesses to do” Scolded Marcus although his voice Carried a tinge of fondness.
” I am serious too, can’t you see that?” came Dimitri’s reply.
” Straight to the point chatterbox.” Lucas chipped in. Knowing his personality well, Lucas knew that Dimitri wanted to keep them on suspense before he could start narrating about his new discovery or start bragging about his new developed gaming app.
” I tell you what, today I have met a goddess!” Dimitri dropped the bombshell surprising his two friends.
To Lucas and Marcus, the last thing Dimitri will ever talk about is a lady. He was a talkative and funny guy when in company of his two friends but the corporate world knew him as the ruthless and cunning founder and CEO of Eagle gaming Company. He was feared for his ruthless ways although Marcus topped the charts. But the difference between the two was that while Marcus spelt danger even by appearance, Dimitri’s appearance was more of an angel but those who crossed his limits would always see the devil in him.
” What?” shouted David and Marcus at the same time.
The fact that their friend Dimitri was talking about a lady was something practically unheard of.
He would always react with scorn whenever the friends raised any topic related to women.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Dimitri who heard the reaction of his friends was obviously displeased.
” What do you mean by what? I said that I Just met a goddess today. ” Dimitri said.
” Where are you? are you sure you are alright and don’t have a fever? maybe you saw her in your dreams.” Marcus fired the questions continuously.
By the time he was done questioning, Dimitri was burning with rage.
” Do I sound like I am sleep talking or do I sound delirious to you guys? what kind of insult is that?” he questioned angrily.
To him, he thought that his friends were making fun of him. He had called to share the good news with them. He had expected them to be happy for him but their response was the complete opposite, they didn’t seem to believe a word he said.
” Calm down Dimitri and tell us where did you meet your goddess?” Lucas said trying to salvage the situation. Dimitri’s anger was something they didn’t want to deal with.
” At the airport, she bumped into me and caused my to spill my coffee on my suit.” Replied Dimitri excited to narrate his newly started love story.
Marcus who was finding it hard to control his laughing due to the absurdity of their meeting asked.
” And then what happened? did she tell you her name perhaps?”
” No I don’t know her name.” Answered Dimitri dejected.
” How comes?” now it Lucas’s turn to ask. He did not know how one meets a woman who interests him and fails to do the most basic thing of asking her name.
” Well, she was too beautiful that I couldn’t stop staring and before I realized it she had already left.” Dimitri answered. He knew he was bound to be laughed at by his friends especially that hateful Marcus but he still had to be honest with them.
” Okay let me get this straight, the mighty CEO of Eagle gaming Company met a lady at the airport and because he was busy staring at her, he didn’t even get to introduce himself nor ask her name?” Marcus asked.
” well yes.” Replied Dimitri sheepishly. It was at times like this he doubted his high IQ.
Hearing him admit that outrightly, Marcus couldn’t control his laughter anymore and burst out laughing .
He could picture his friend standing like an idiot staring at a woman. That scene was hilarious to him.
Lucas on the other hand controlled his laughter but smiled at his friends foolishness.
How can a computer genius be so stupid when it comes to such Minor issues? But who could blame him, it seems like the gender he has detested and stayed as far as possible from them has finally lured him to it’s trap.
Lucas knew that their best friend was a goner now.
” So Dimitri, how do you plan on looking for your goddess because I suppose you are interested in meeting her once again.” Lucas asked to divert Dimitri’s embarrassment.
” I have already instructed my secretary to dig any information available about her. It doesn’t matter who she is or where she is, I will use any mean to find her.” Dimitri swore .
” Maybe you can ask Marcus for help. He can reach out more than you can. Considering his connection to the underworld, he is the best person to dig out her data.” Lucas suggested .
Yes, Marcus was the underworld Mafia of the most formidable mafia group. Their family though clean on the surface, they were involved in underworld businesses.
” You know that sly fox never does favours fur Free.” Dimitri argued.
