Chapter 2
Business aviation is the use of any "general aviation" aircraft for a business purpose. The Armored Air Administration defines general aviation as all flights that are not conducted by the military or scheduled airlines.
As such, business aviation is a part of general aviation that focuses on the business use of airplanes and helicopters.
They are well-known by many companies of all sizes that rely on many different types of aircraft – from single-pilot airplanes to turbine aircraft that fly internationally, to helicopters that survey rush-hour traffic, and the fixed-base operations and many other services that support flight operations at the nation’s 5,000 public-use airports.
That’s how trusting their business is.
On the other hand, the shareholders discussed this, and it was a bit worrying. Because in recent days, Blade, the CEO of the multi-billionaire Armored Air Administration, has been seen in bars and pictures doing make-out in public places, they are worried that this might damage the image of the company if continued.
"That was outrageous. You should have taught your son to place things like this. "
"He's not just an employee of your company, he's the CEO."
"What will our partner companies say?"
"If they lose interest, the company will collapse, Bill."
The old man couldn't speak anymore and just sipped his hot tea, but they were right; Blade is not a bad son nor a business man. It's just annoying when he can't control things like that. So, I need to take action.
//////////////////////////
Blade’s POV
My Dad called, telling me to head back quickly after my business meeting with a company that we have been pursuing for a long time. That was one tough presentation, but fortunately we passed.
We will come back for the last presentation to receive an answer.
When I arrived at his office, I immediately sensed the bad energy that something might really happen that would not have a good result. When I entered his office, he was looking at the window.
When he heard the door close, he turned to me and walked away with an envelope. To my surprise, he threw the contents on the table. I saw various pictures of myself. I was with a woman, and we did things at the bar.
I just closed my eyes and face palmed.
"You know, you can’t deny these things. We’ve talked about this before. I know you’re goddamn handsome, but can you place things like this privately? " He said, and I just sat in front of him.
"Our shareholders are worried, and I can't stop myself from agreeing. No one will trust our company if you continue this. As Armored Air continues to grow, this company needs you more than it needs me, son." He said, and I know I just can't control it.
"It’s just my playtime. Why don’t you just let me be? I excel when it comes to handling business and sealing deals. It was a great opportunity for the company."
"No, that’s not enough. Your public figure is also important. "
"You are not just an employee of our company, Blade, you are the CEO!"
He’s right, but what can I do? I kept on searching for someone’s taste when it comes to pleasurable doings. That's why I did those.
I was just silent when suddenly another envelope was tossed by my father, and I opened it. I saw a woman with the right build, eyes as brown as an almond, and hair that hung with a curl in the tips. She was cute and pretty. But what will I do with her? She’s so angelic.
"That's Alessia Rae Williams. She's the daughter of my long-term friend who owns Delta TechOps Corporation. "
I had a bad feeling about this.
"You’ll marry her in 2 weeks, but please understand that I’m doing this so you can clean up this mess you’ve made. "
"She’s the heir of their company, which is great. You’ll both continue the legacy we will leave upon the both of you. "
I didn’t like the idea of it. No one deserves an arranged marriage. Even though I have made many women cry, marriage should not be forced, and I will never be a fan of such a situation. And I can’t be tied to other women. I have my plans.
"But fathe—"
"No buts please, I have sacrificed a lot for you."
"You're dismissed!"
I don’t know how I’m going to feel. First I let go of the woman I love because the company needed me more and then this? I have to marry someone that seems so mesmerizing that not even my conscience can take it.
I came out of his office when I realized that I could no longer convince him to change his mind. The news went wild. I had to face the consequences sooner or later, and I looked at the picture I was holding.
The picture of the woman I would marry.
Maybe it’s not a bad idea. I am just married on paper; when the news fades, I can call it quits at any time. I'm sure she'll feel the same.
And it so happened, shareholders opened the topic after the meeting that it was a great idea that I agreed to an arranged marriage, and they were even more excited to know that I would marry the heir of Delta TechOps.
They said that it would be a nice setting since both companies are in the aviation business.
When the meeting was over, I planned to call my best friend to enjoy the last weeks of being single.
"What time are you going out? Let's meet. I also need to tell you something. "
"What’s up? Same meeting place. I'll meet you there at 8. "
When I arrived, there weren’t many people yet. I chose to go someplace away from the city and crowds.
I chose to go to a bar near the beach.
I ordered drinks while waiting for John to arrive.
When he came, I told him everything that happened today. He couldn't believe that I was getting married, but I just laughed.
"I feel bad for Kycine. You both sacrificed enough. And why do you have to be like a womanizer and you didn’t even think twice or once if it’s safe to do that in public places? "
"I have my reasons, okay."
"Wake up, dude," he said as he poured another shot of liquor into my glass.
I didn't answer it. I chose not to. We had a couple of drinks and John was drunk. I was just watching the ice spin on the glass when I noticed a woman on the dance floor.
She’s dancing wild and free, and she’s so sweet to look at.
As John collapsed, I unconsciously approached the woman and drew her body closer to mine. I couldn’t help but groan.
To my surprise, she was just dancing behind me when I decided to turn her around so I could see her face. It was her.
Alessia Rae Williams. There was no trace on her face that she was a party goer.
"I don’t care if you won’t ask me, but I'm getting married this week to someone I don't know!" She shouted because of the loud music.
It's only natural that she feels that way because I even regretted doing those things in public places, and if I hadn’t done that, maybe I would still get the chance to marry my true love, but what for?
I had already chosen to break everything up. I can't blame her; she just danced with me as I suddenly caressed her lower lip.
I was surprised when she suddenly pulled me closer to her at once.
"I planned to give my V-card to someone before this marriage, and you are lucky because you are the one I chose!" She pulled me out of the bar.
I felt rage when I heard that. I suddenly felt that I wanted to give her the most memorable night of her life.
As she gives herself and her virginity to someone, she doesn't have a clue that the stranger will be her soon-to-be husband.
