《The Revenge Of A Businessman》Chapter 10
Advertisement
After our little conversation Jacob went back to his cabin and I resumed my work on the computer. Shortly after having lunch Jacob came in my cabin to inform me about the time of the flight and to take my signatures on some documents for the flight. Just as Jacob was going I remembered that he doesn’t have my passport.
“Sir”
“Yes.” He said without turning.
“Don't you need my passport?”
He turned to face me and smirked.
“I was kind of expecting you to ask me that question. And no I don't need your passport because we are going in my jet. If you have my permission then nobody will ask you for your passport.”
I was stunned.
“We are travelling in your jet?” I asked him. “You mean a private jet?”
“Uh yes what's wrong?” He said.
I looked at his face and saw that he was pretty serious. I decided not to aggravate the matter.
“Don't worry it's nothing. I'm pretty excited to go in the private jet.” I told him.
“Oh. Well we have to go now if we want to board the plane in time.”
“What now?”
“Yeah C'mon don't want to be late would you?” He teased.
I did not pay attention to him as I was excited to board the plane. “Let's go.” I said and I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the door when I realised what I was doing I immediately let go of his hand and said I'm sorry. But I was surprised when he did not say anything. He just nodded and opened the door and headed to his car. Before going in the car I made sure to say my goodbye to Jordan.
“Jordan” I shouted as I saw her going in the other direction. Fortunately she heard me. She turned and saw me. She smirked. I could sense that she was going to say something that I won't like.
“Hey!” She exclaimed when see came near.
“Hey! I just came to say bye as I'm going with Jacob to England for about a month.”

I was surprised to see her not shocked. I waved my hand in front of her face and said:
“Are you listening to me?”
“Yeah I was just thinking you and Jacob” and she playfully hit my arm “going to England together, alone and that's too in his private jet.”
“Well now how do you know this?” I asked her playing along.
“Maybe Jacob told you NOT to buy clothes.”
“Yeah how do you know that?”
“Maybe if you stop interrupting then I would be able to tell you.” She told me calmly. I just kept quiet and waited for her to continue.
“It was me who bought the things that you would need for England, well not bought as it was Jacob who paid. This morning after you left Jacob's cabin he came to me and told me to go and buy clothes, shoes and the other things that you'll need for a month. And my dear when you come back you are going to thank me for all of this.”
“Ok. I just hope that I'm not going to regret afterwards.” I hugged her and said bye. “And can you take my car home?”
“Okay!” She said while grabbing the keys. I hugged her one more time. She did the same and let go. I was surprised that she did not say anything more than that. Its Jordan after all, she can say anything without knowing where she is. Just when I was entering the elevator I heard a voice; ‘don't become a mom’ and I missed the other part as the door of the elevator closed. I rolled my eyes at her childishness. I'm glad that she was able to move on. I went directly to Jacob's car knowing he was there. The driver opened the door and I joined Jacob in his car. The driver closed the door and went to take his seat. After some minutes of driving I remembered that I didn't inform my grandma. She's so going to kill me. I grabbed my phone and quickly dialled my grandma's number. After several rings she answered.

“Thank god you answered I was starting to get worried.” I said.
“Well hello to you too Mia” She told me. “I was in the backyard cleaning the yard for you.”
I started to feel guilty for her.
“Uh about that please don't freak out.”
“Tell me!”
“I'msortof goingtoLondonwithmybossforsomeworkforaboutamonth!” I told her.
She laughed and said ‘please repeat.’ I could hear the impatience in her voice.
“Well I'm going to London with my boss for some work for about a month.” She sighed.
“I'm sorry sweetie. Actually after that I'll get two weeks off. I promise I'll make it up to you. Please forgive me!” I told her.
“Hey I'm not angry. I know that work is important for you. Don't worry. Take your time. I'll wait for you. And have fun! I love you!”
“Thanks. I love you too and I'll miss you. Bye.” After that I hung up.
“Boyfriend?” Jacob asked.
“What?”
“Boyfriend?” He asked once again.
“No. I told you I don't have a boyfriend.”
“Well the way you were talking anyone would assume that.”
I smiled at him. “Many people told me this. Actually it's my grandma. I was supposed to visit her this coming week.”
“Oh.” He said. After that no one said anything. Jacob was working on his laptop while I was admiring the view.
Jacob's P.O.V
After she let go of my hand I was a little upset. She said ‘sorry’. But I did not have the courage to say anything so I just nod my head and made my way to the car. I slightly turned my head to see if Mia was following me but she wasn’t. I went in my car and waited for her to come. I went back to work on my laptop as I had nothing interesting to do than this. After some minutes I heard the door open and Mia entered and sat next to me. I continued to work on my laptop. I don’t know what happened to me. I've always hated that girl since the first time I saw her and she insult me. But now the feeling has changed. I don't know if I still hate her.
“Thank god you answered. I was starting to get worried.” She said to someone on the phone.
She waited for some time as she was listening to the other person.
Then she said “please don't freak out” and she said something that I did not understand.
I assumed the other person did not understand as she repeat herself. Now I could understand her when she said:
“Well I'm going to London with my boss for about a month.”
When I heard her say boss I don't know why I was a little disappointed to hear that.
She continued. “I'm sorry sweetie. Actually after that I'll get two weeks off. I promise I'll make it up to you. Please forgive me.”
To whom is she asking for forgiveness and who's that sweetie?
“Thanks I love you too and I'll miss you. Bye.” She said before hanging up.
“Boyfriend?” I asked her.
“What?” She asked.
I swear this girl has hearing problems. Every time I ask her something she always says ‘what’! I thought.
“Boyfriend?” I repeated.
“No. I told you I don't have one”.
Oh yeah she told me that. What's happening to me?
“Well the way you were talking anyone would assume that.” I told her.
She smiled at me. “Many people told me this. Actually it's my grandma. I was supposed to visit her this coming week.” She told me.
Of course she told me that too. I'm becoming a forgetful person from time to time. Don't know what's happening to me.
“Oh,” I said. After that I did not say anything nor did she. I continue to work on my laptop and Mia was just looking outside the window.
She is so beautiful and her smile. She's like an angel. Shit what's happening to me? I'm her boss. I should not pass that line. But she's so beautiful that I could not avoid her. My eyes were constantly moving to her.
Shit this can't be happening to me. I can't fall in love with her. God help me!

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Balancing of the world
Just as humanity reached the height of its power, it fell again. Mana was introduced into a previously balanced world, sending everything present into chaos. Humanity losing its technological advantages, fell back to the dark ages, back to when survival was all but guaranteed. Mana though useful for enhancing the body isn’t unlimited, and humanity fell behind fast. From experiments, a being of mana, born into this chaotic world. The first of its kind. Rather than thriving in a world to which it belongs, it has to model the world so it will suit its needs. As a lone being, it has to use its power over mana to influence beasts and humans alike to abide by its will and further its goals. It will manipulate intelligent lifeforms to do its bidding while believing that they are becoming stronger. It will help lower lifeforms and guide their lives until they fit into the world as envisioned by our being. Read how our protagonist starts in a small area, changing it to suit its needs, and then grows until the world is balanced and at peace again. This is my first story, and I don’t have an editor yet. My English should be good enough, but I expect to have to go back and do editing later on. I would classify this story as litRPG. There will be a type of system with blue boxes and all, though the perspective is the system itself and how it came to be and why it does what it does. As a single mighty being, there will be dungeon core influences such as expanding the area and influencing all within though there is no such thing as an actual dungeon. As humanity is trying to survive, there will also be some city/base building influences, and I will have some perspective changes to show how the forces are being perceived by the affected people. As I have a busy job, it will be hard to update consistently, but I am quite a bit ahead of what I have currently uploaded.
