The Kidnapped Bride

Whereas on the other hand of the land, Javier was currently practicing his boxing skills. Wearing a black color shirt, which was fitted to his body, also made everyone see the well-built abs inside. 

Since the day he has woken up, all he is doing is hitting the gym, even here or the other time. 

Moreover, everyone was already aware since  Jennifer wasn't here, their boss had changed way too much. 

He didn't appear the old Javier anymore, someone who was loving, caring too. At this point, all the employees were coming across the aloof Javier, someone to whom no one was actually related. 

But this wasn't enough.

The only person who had seen this kind of nature of his was Charles. When their mother had died, Javier had turned off all his emotional sentiments and was any other walking robot. 

But this wasn't the case anymore. He has seen betrayal this time... 

Sweat was dripping out his face, as his eyes were focused on punching bags that were in front of his eyes. The boxing gloves present in his hand, he was punching the bag with all the mighty energy that was present. The dim lights around him were already making him seem more dangerous than his usual self. 

KNOCK! 

The sudden knock made him halt in his action. Turning around, his aloof gaze came across his man who was also present there, with its head low, "Any important work?"

"Something to report to you, sir." 

Was the answer he told him, to which Javier once again turned his head in the direction of the punching bag and then, started to hit it again. 

But at the same time, in the middle, he had motioned to the other person standing behind to come inside. 

On receiving the orders, he went inside to bow slightly. He was holding a report in his hands but what he felt was the chills down his spines. 

'Boss is so much different nowadays..' No doubt, everyone was whispering about the transformation that happened with their boss since he had recovered. 

"I have something to tell you about." The man answered, to which Javier nodded his head, "Tell me." 

"There was a treaty signed. At the Smith family's cruise. Mr. Greyson and Lucas Smith have signed the papers. Also, Mr. Jack Smith was present here too." The man reported with whatsoever that landed in his ears. 

But then, after hearing what he had heard, Javier stopped in his tracks. His hand halted in the middle before it was just going to punch the bag. 

A frown had settled on his forehead, where the lines of his forehead even deepened. "They signed?"

"Yes sir. Our people told us that they have already signed the required documents. Moreover, even Mr. Jack Smith wasn't able to hold this on.." Hearing this, the man's eyes lifted upwards to look at his boss, whose mood had taken a swift turn. 

As if, it had disturbed his mind. Without uttering anything else, Javier turned around and walked to one of his tables before removing his gloves and putting them down on the table. His body was already filled with extreme sweat but it turned him into a hotter man.

Javier walked closer to the other corner from where he took the towel in his hand and another bottle. Opening it from his hands, he drank the bottle before he ordered, "Alright. Well, see what they are doing. I don't think Jack will let Lucas succeed either." 

"Y-yes, sir! Jack Smith wasn't even welcomed there. He went without any invitation. But due to his relationships with Mr.Greyson from before, he had managed to slip inside and stay out there." The man's contacts even further elaborated that Jack Smith was trying his best to not let Lucas sign the papers. 

However, the sudden appearance of the document in Lucas's bags, left Jack with no other option but to stay quiet. 

Meanwhile, Jack drank the water. His Adam apple moved along with his abs. Not only that he had already removed his shirt and drew it on the other side. Taking the towel, he had used it to tap on his body to remove the sweat.

But when the man saw that his Boss wasn't replying much more to this topic either, he commented further, "Mrs. Shirley and M-Miss...Amaira wishes to meet with Mr. Johnson..." 

"Send them away!" came a straight usual side.

The mm gulped the saliva present in his mouth. With no option left in his hands, he had to give insight to the situation, in a much deeper manner.

"I-I tried this. But both of them are bent on the meeting. What are we supposed to do to actually make them stop?" Man's hands were tied together. 

He wasn't in any position to give any lies to the ladies without his superiors' orders on the same.

At the same time, Javier stood to see out of the wind. From the large glass, the entire view of the city life can be seen but his mind was wandering around different situations. 

"Then... tell them that Mr. Johnson isn't in any good condition. He can't meet. Also, Mr. Shawn is currently going through the treatment... so tell them that." Javier's deep conscious reply only gained a nod from the man. 

"I will convey this to them.." He nodded his head, but Javier remained stagnant on his position. There was no change in his body language either, but the man had his heart beating inside his chest.

Whereas, Javier had kept his hand on the glass itself, to look out of the view. His eyes narrowed, but his muscles were becoming more vibrant. With a towel in hand, he appeared no less than any male model to be... 

But the man had more to say. He found no words to describe another situation, but he had still managed out, "W-what about Miss Jennifer...boss?"
