Chapter 162
“What did you just say?” Morgan shouted on the phone and Catherine and Irish stared at him. They were watching a movie when he received a call and from the look of things, something is wrong.
Irish continued staring at the TV even though her mind was not there.
It’s just two days left and she’s yet to get what she really wanted, she’s yet to confirm if Morgan or Catherine is involved in Carrle’s death.
Catherine now stuck with Morgan, deliberately preventing her from having a private moment with him.
“I can’t believe this” Morgan said as he dropped the call.
He was looking so angry.
“What’s wrong?” Catherine asked.
“You won’t believe the MAI pharmaceuticals contract i badly wanted and even spent money on was offered to Ethan on a platter of gold and the damned man rejected it” Morgan barked furiously.
“Really?.. Gosh!” Catherine sighed, this isn’t the first time this would be happening.
Morgan spends a lot to be awarded a contract and they end up begging Ethan for it which Ethan mostly refuses.
That’s actually one of the reasons Morgan detested him… he hated the fact that Ethan easily got things he strives hard to get.
“I’m going to his office now!” Morgan rose to his feet.
“You mustn’t create a scene there, don’t make him see how desperate you are for the contract okay?” Catherine advised and he nodded.
Irish sat without saying a word and Catherine looked at her menacingly.
“Didn’t you hear what just happened huh? Morgan lost a contract worth millions of dollars toEthan who ended up rejecting it and you couldn’t utter a word of consolation” Catherine accused fiercely.
“I was about to…” Irish said.
“Indeed” Catherine rolled her eyes.
“Ethan rejected the contract, there’s still some hope it’ll become yours. You don’t have to… go to his office” Irish said to Morgan.
“I need to, before he gets swayed by the offer and accept the contract wholeheartedly” Morgan groaned and Irish sighed, knowing Ethan wouldn’t even go back on his words, he must have had a reason to reject the contract and what offer would make the wealthiest man in California sign the contract he had rejected.
Morgan knows that also, he’s just obsessed with jealousy.
“I should go get dressed” Morgan said.
“Put on the tux you got from Ana’s store yesterday” Catherine said and Morgan nodded with a smile.
He hurried to his room and came out fully dressed after some minutes.
“You look great” Irish smiled, knowing Morgan is about to go get spanked with Ethan’s savage words.
“Thanks Irene”Morgan smiled.
Seeing how dressed he is, one wouldn’t believe he’s about to go scavenge for a contract
someone else had rejected and not just someone but his ex brother and raw enemy
Woah.
“You should make him see you’re not desperate for the contract.. just make it clear to him that you only want it, he’s a nice dummy, he might talk to them on your behalf and you’ll be awarded the contract” Catherine said.
“Okay Cat, i should hurry along” Morgan said.

Ethan was a bit surprised when he was informed Morgan was around and wanted to see him.
He knew he came to taunt him about Irish being in his house but Ethan let him in anyway. He sometimes wonder how petty Morgan can be at times.
“Good day” Morgan said as he walked into Ethan’s office.
Ethan glanced up at him and smiled.. he was determined not to allow Morgan mock him.
“I’m so glad you didn’t made a fuss today about coming in with your battalion”Ethan chuckled and Morgan glared at him.
“I’m not here to joke Ethan” Morgan said.
“Okay, what do you want?” Ethan asked.
“MAI pharmaceuticals contract.. i heard it was awarded to you and you rejected it”
“Are you here to fight me over that?” Ethan asked.
“I just have to let you know that i spent so much to be awarded that contract”
“Ohh.. and it didn’t end up getting awarded to you.. that’s pretty bad but do you actually have to spend money to be awarded contracts, why don’t you let your works and reputation speak foryou. You don’t need that Morgan” Ethan said.
“What i do not need right now is your stupid words of sermon!” Morgan said.
“Okay.. so did you came all the way to tell me you spent a lot on a contract and it wasn’t awarded to you in the end? And… looks like you’re going to a party after leaving here” Ethan saidscanning Morgan’s wear.
He was wearing an expensive looking tuxedo with great shoes and his hair was styled in a cool way.
He obviously didn’t dress this way just to come to his office.
“Whatever… that contract, i want it” Morgan said.
“Then go pay more money”Ethan taunted.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Well.. now that you’ve rejected it, I’m sure it’ll be awarded to me”
“Then you should go wait till it’s awarded to you, you shouldn’t be here.” Ethan said. “I wanted you to know of my intention, so you won’t go back on your words to sign the contract”
“I can’t do that, the offer sounded illegal and i would advise you not to also take the contract so it won’t put you into deep shit” Ethan advised, Morgan was his kid brother and he wouldn’t allow the feud between them make him watch Morgan get himself involved in a deep shit.
“Save your advice for later, I’m taking the contract”
“That’s your business.. i guess you’re done with what you’re here for. You can leave” Ethan said.
“Well.. how does it feel to know Irish’s in my place after you bragged about not loosing her to me, she even came to me willingly.. wow” Morgan mocked.
“Are you done?” Ethan asked and Morgan was disappointed to see Ethan wasn’t a bit affected by what he just said.
“Have you gotten over her already? I guess you didn’t really love her like you claimed. I knew how you wept for Catherine for months like she was dead” Morgan said and Ethan laughed.
“Just so you know, i love Irish more than i loved Catherine” Ethan said.
“But you didn’t seem a bit affected that she’s gone” Morgan said.
“Do i have to look affected? Well.. maybe it’s because she contacted me” Ethan smiled. “What! She.. did?” Morgan asked, trying to believe he had heard wrongly.
“Of course, while in your house” Ethan grinned, enjoying the look of despair in Morgan’s eyes without realizing what he just did.
There was silence for some seconds and that was when Ethan sensed he had said something wrong.
Perhaps, Irish doesn’t want Morgan to know she contacted him and now he has spilled it just to prove he still has a stand in her life.
Damnit.. Irish might be so pissed.
When did he turn a blabbermouth?
“Well… she contacted me to remind me of how much she hates me now.. i was so hurt” Ethan feigned a pained expression and Morgan smiled.
“I knew she would never contact you for any other reason, She hates you so much now, with passion and it’s so great to tell you she’s now in love with me”Morgan grinned.
“Wow, congratulation brother…” Ethan said.
“I wish you mean it” Morgan smirked.
“I can see you’re done with what you came here for, can you kindly leave now, there’s so much work to do”Ethan said.
“I can’t believe a billionaire like you is still alternating shifts in his companies and working hard like a pauper. You still haven’t changed”Morgan groaned.
“You can get people to do this shits for you, you don’t have to work everyday” He added. Ethan shrugged “I can’t get people to do run my companies for me when I’m still so strong toand of course i have managers in each of my companies and they do their works, that doesn’t mean i should sit at home ideally knowing how much my effort would contribute to the success of my companies. And you should know i like doing things myself.. only then am i satisfied”Ethan explained.
