Chapter 139 - One Hundred And Thirty-nine : So Much For Trusting Isabella
Nik's POV
"The deep blue necklace and earring set is suitable for both youngsters and matured people though it cos in other color variations but this..."
I was in a eting with my workers but stopped paying attention thirty minutes ago, why? My stomach was acting up, which was odd.
Strange, I haven't even taken anything into my stomach since morning unless….
My eyes flew open at once, so far the only thing I consud was the coffee my daughter Isabelle prepared for .
You've got to be kidding , don't tell Isabella really put sothing in the drink to upset my stomach; wasn't the specially prepared coffee a peace offering?
Ugh, a painful pang hit .
I felt the urge to vomit, not to ntion the cramps on my stomach made things worse.
For support, I grabbed the desk so hard I would have crushed it -? if that was possible - fighting off the painful groan from escaping my mouth while beads of sweat decorated my forehead.
Damn you Isabella, this is not funny.
"Sir Niklaus are you okay, you look sick? " Asked one of my executives sitting beside who noticed sothing was wrong with .
But his question attracted the others who pinned with their curious gazes.
"He's right." said another, who turned around to get a good glance at "You look pale and sweating profusely " He observed correctly.
I would have barked and ordered them to mind their own business, then focus on the eting but I felt the urge to have a bowel movent.
"eting adjourned " I sprang up-to my feet without warning, surprising everyone by dismissing the eting that barely began.
With huge yet careful strides, I skedaddled out of the office eliciting shocked gasps from everyone who thought I was kidding when I ended the eting abruptly .
They all knew I never joke with my etings which was why they always ca prepared; an unfruitful eting results in a firing spree.
Moreover, this was the first ti in history I dismissed a eting because of my personal reason, so? the full-fledged gossipers resud their speculation as soon as I left.
If only they knew my daughter put sothing in my drink that waged war with my intestines - if only they knew.
In the hallway, I sprinted to my office and didn't even spare a look at the workers who greeted on the way or my surprised secretary who stood to her feet puzzled - the CEO was running with his hand pressed against his butt.
Inside my office, I turned the doorknob and ran into my bathroom; lifted up the toilet lid effortlessly, zipped and pulled down my pants as I began to stress my rectal area.
I thought I was going to die. No doubt, I was experiencing an upset stomach brought about by Isabella's crude prank and diarrhoea was just one of the many symptoms.
Great, just when I decided to trust my dear daughter, she wasn't going scot-free for this one!
I spent two hours in the toilet before I was able to move a muscle without sprinting back to the toilet whenever the urge to defecate overwhelms .
Face scrunched up,I walked carefully back to my office, movent as slow as a tortoise while my hand was pressed on the side of my bare stomach.
I had managed to take a bath in order to wash off the sweat accumulated during the intensive excrent but it didn't aid my sore rectal area, that cos with diarrhea.
The crooked smile on Judy's face irked to the extent I glared at him and snatched my shirt from him; he brought a change of clothes to . I had called him during my joyful ride in the toilet - note the sarcasm.
Judy handed an over-the-counter loperamide hydrochloride
which I gulped down with a glass of water without wasting ti, the drug would help control the diarrhea.
"Isabella really did a number on you today" Judy snickered but I had no ti nor energy to quibble with him.
So I ignored him and lay down on the bed he had ordered into my office, with my face hidden in the crook of my arm - that was the end of work? for today.
It would have been better resting at ho but that little devil didn't go to school today because of the chickenpox, she was ho; I didn't want to see her face at the mont.
"Since you don't feel nauseous anymore, you should eat sothing. Doctor Sam said you should take a clear liquid diet for the first twenty-four to thirty-six hours "
I yawned in both hunger and exhaustion," Fine, just order sothing for "
My head moved to the side, watching Judy wrinkle his nose as if he slt sothing unpleasant in the air.
Yeah, that's right, I farted, so what? This was my office and as far as I know, everyone had freedom to express themselves which I just did.
Judy didn't say anything, instead his stoic expression returned while he fanned his hand towards his face.
"Order your n to conduct a search in Isabella's room, they should be thorough and remove any weird item; kid's toy or not? Get rid of it as far as it looks suspicious " I commanded Judy.
First, it was mixing fenugreek seeds with my coffee beans; secondly, glueing my butt to the chair; thirdly, putting excessive laxative into my coffee drink; the next could be catching my balls in a trap.
What amazes the most was how and where she gets those stuffs from? which was why my n had to comb through her room ticulously.
My daughter was smart; if she really took after , then she would hide them in a place that was easy to spot yet ignored.
Isabella was becoming a terror day after day. I get the fact she's mad at because of what I did to Maya and our failed agreent, but this was getting out of hand.
If I hadn't hurried out of the eting room in ti, I would've defecated in my pants and get labeled as the "poop CEO" by those gossipmongers
"Alright, " Judy answered.
He was about to leave but rembered sothing,"That's right, Tina ca earlier as you expected."
"Not surprising" I mumbled uninterestedly.
I was at ho sipping the coffee the little devil made for when Christina called. As usual, I ignored and silenced her call before heading to the company.
Having known Christina has a knack for pestering , I had ordered them strictly not to let her into my office once she arrived and just as I thought, she did co.
Since Christina was so enthusiastic about the engagent, she should take-up the preparation - I wasn't interested one bit, she could do whatever she wanted - while I provide the finance.
"She was quite furious " Judy inford .
I snorted, "Tina has always had quite a temper but that's none of my business - I just pity anyone who is on the receiving end of her aggression."
"For how long would you stall ti? "
I sat upright, "Excuse ? "
"It's obvious you don't want to marry her which is why you're being so cold and unresponsive to her, but for how long do you think this tactics would work?" Judy questioned seriously with our gazes locked.
I worked my jaw, "You're so interested in my private life lately "
"I'm not trying to pry nor be a busybody but am concerned over you - "
"Your concerns are appreciated but that's all, thank you " I interrupted him.
Judy bit the inside of his mouth and just when I thought he would leave, he went ahead to add, "Maya changed you and she deserves an applause for that. You're much better now than the previous Niklaus who was an asshole. I pray you don't deviate from this path else all her sacrifices would be in vain "
"If? you're done - "
"Have a nice day " He dismissed himself and left while I watched with a dumbfounded expression.
Judy was becoming fearless because he knew notwithstanding my countless threat, I would do nothing to him ; he's my most trusted henchman so I couldn't do without him at the mont.
I sighed and laid back on my bed just as my phone rang, alerting of a incoming ssage. I couldn't identify? the sender but opened the video? sent to which sure looked interesting thanks to it's thumbnail.
For the two minutes or so duration the video lasted, I forgot to breathe. Suddenly, I burst into a boisterous laughter - one that shook my body and brought hot tears to my eyes.
It was interesting, she had given up that easily?
Since Tina was back to sleeping with Fernando, it only ant one thing:? she has given up on veering for my love and attention; she now wanted my power, nothing else.
Though Christina was the heiress to the family business but rumours of her illegitimate brother being more suitable for the position was rousing and now, she was desperate to keep her seat.
I rewatched the video with a smirk, seems the Oldman's favoured daughter-in-law is losing her value.
Fine, let's watch how this plays out.
