Clyde Fox II watched Tatiana argue with her ex boyfriend. He had been the CEO of his family’s company, Fox Industries after his father retired five years ago. His father, Clyde Fox, started the Hotel Fox brand thirty years ago with one location on the Greek island of Chios. Now there were over fifty locations worldwide. That was what he wanted the media to say about him.
Apart from being a drug dealer, he was well connected to the police. He had influence everywhere. Very few people knew what he did; he always hid under his father’s shadow.
He walked slowly to Tatiana’s desk and stopped. Everyone was looking at him, they wondered what he wanted. He was well known in the Bronx area. He was a drug dealer worth billions of dollars.
“Excuse me, what do you want from my girlfriend?” he asked Trent as he kissed Tatiana on the cheek. Tatiana looked confused but she loved the look on Trent’s face. This was the best revenge she could ever get.
“I’m sorry, I was just catching up,” Trent said.
“It doesn’t look to me like you were doing that,” Clyde said defensively. He looked serious and Trent bought the lie.
“I’m sorry and see you around.” Trent left without looking behind him.
Tatiana looked confused. Why would a stranger save her from Trent?
“I’m sorry miss; you may now get back to work.” Clyde said.
“I want to say thank you,” Tatiana said in a polite voice.
“Before I forget, your company made a mistake not to make arrangements for one person I was traveling with, so you’ll be my date tomorrow and you will be my tour guide to show me around the city while I’m still around here.”
“I don’t understand sir,” Tatiana said.
“You are a tour and travel agency; I don’t understand how you forgot to make a booking for the extra person I mentioned, so I’ll see you tomorrow at La Paz Hotel, dinner at 8.00. That is the reason I canceled my appointment, to come to make a complaint personally, but your boss suggested that you could show me around town to cover for the mistake.”
“But—” He left before she could finish what she was saying. She didn’t even have a dress for the occasion. She had to leave early to go and prepare herself.
“That is who I wanted to tell you about before Trent walked in but I can see that you two have already met.” Amanda said.
