CHAPTER 5: DID I MESS WITH THE WRONG PERSON?
Bradley Hale…
Bradley Hale the heir to the Hale group, one of the most powerful men in the country, the man whose only name sends shivers to thousands of people, the man that conquered the world economy by making several investments that turned into success, the man that can ruin a company with just his finger raised, the man that rules the business world and the underground as the rumors say, the man that ruins the powerful George family that has been existing for 2 generations in the country overnight turning it into news, that Bradley Hale.
I looked at his face trying to not be fooled by the man in front of me, there are many people out there that impersonate people so, so I try to clear my doubt for all I know he maybe just some Bradley Hale that has the same name as the Bradley Hale the country knows, I thought trying to convince myself even though something at the back of my mind is telling me that it’s the truth.
“Wow did you think you could fool me, you are not Bradley Hale right?”I asked with a dry laugh hoping he would say it was not true too.
“How many of my investments did you want me to mention to believe me,” he asked looking at me.
“What do you mean investment so, you don’t have anything convincing that you can show me to prove that you are Bradley Hale,” I asked with a proud look convincing myself that he is not Bradley Hale but I don’t have the time for this I have to clean up my scandal mess and also get in touch with my friends.
I noticed the handsome stranger got busy with his phone and I can’t help but shake my head at him pitifully for trying so hard to be someone he is not I thought and my face got blocked by his phone I immediately want to yell at him for doing that but I was immediately dumbstruck when I saw what was on the screen.
I saw the president shaking a man’s hand and the man looks like the one standing in front of me and the picture headline is “THE PRESIDENT OF NEWTOWN AND BRADLEY HALE THE BUSINESS LORD MET AT A GALA” I read and looked away from the phone’s screen and then his face.
“I am sorry I have to show you that I am just not good at introducing myself, my assistant does that but it seems Miss Grey doesn’t watch the business or even political news not to know that,” he says with an amused look looking at my dumbfounded expression.
I was silent for some minutes after the revelation trying to get my thoughts together. So, I am in the same room with the heir to the Hale group and I already slightly insulted him, oh shut up Gina you didn’t slightly insult him you say he is a psychopath, my inner voice scolded me.
Ok, let’s say I insulted him a little. Is he going to kill me because of it? I thought even though the room Air conditioner is on I still feel so hot.
“Erm erm,” I heard the handsome stranger clear his throat. Oh my perverted mind he is no more a handsome stranger. He is the mighty Bradley Hale so can you please let me focus? I scolded myself.
“Miss Grey are you listening to me,” Bradley says and looked at him with a panicking look, so he has been talking to me but I was lost in thought. Will he be angry over that?All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I …. am…. so… sorry… Mr. Bradley” I say stuttering, it was so embarrassing and I felt like disappearing out of there.
“You can talk comfortably just like you did earlier and you can also sit comfortably too you are still sick you know,” he says eyeing the way I sit worriedly and that’s when I noticed I have been sitting in a very uncomfortable manner but I didn’t care about that because I don’t know if I can still keep my life after all that has happened today.
“Mr. Bradley”I called slowly trying to get his attention but I am still hoping on the other side that he won’t hear me but he did anyway.
“I want to apologize for my misbehavior earlier, I am so sorry that I didn’t recognize you, “I say bowing my head 360° while sitting down but my head was quickly raised by Bradley Hale.
“You don’t have to go through all this trouble I am not angry with you,” he says with a nonchalant attitude that will make you believe him but I am not going to fall for his tricks because I have to protect my life jealousy so, I have to beg him to spare my life.
“Mr. Bradley I know I have been a nuisance and I also have insulted you slightly but please spare my life” I begged profusely rubbing my hands together I remembered one of Olivia’s words if you need something desperately “begged till your knees scraped” she always says. She is good when it comes to this type of situation because she is a reporter and she uses every method to get information, so I am grateful that she is my friend because I know what to do in this type of situation.
“I think you are mistaken…..”Bradley says but I immediately cut in.
“Please Mr. Bradley I will do anything you asked of me but please spare my life I am still very young and I have a lot of dreams I want to achieve so, please spare me,” I say already on my knees on the comfy hospital bed but I heard him laughed and I looked at him confused.
“Miss Grey you have a way of making someone feel so guilty even though the person did nothing wrong to you,” he says and I read meaning into what he says do I have annoyed him because I have been playing victim even though the day is still very bright and the weather is nice I can’t help but feel so gloomy. Did I just mess with the wrong guy? He is very offended by what has transpired between us. I kept asking myself different questions.
“The doctor says you are fine and that you can be discharged if you want,” he said. I looked at him and that’s when I noticed someone else besides him who seemed to be his assistant when he entered.
“He enters when you are so lost in thought,” Bradley says and I looked at him with puppy eyes because I don’t want him to be angry with him over my absent-mindedness.
“I informed your friends about you being here they should…” the guy behind Bradley Hale says but the sound of the door opening interrupts him.
“You this heartless bitch” someone yelled and a bag was sent flying right to my face
