The Contracted Stripper

Chapter 11



Ryan left for the office, His father had call him at the right time, providing a much-needed distraction from the iris.

The image of Iris’s face, with a mix of fear and contempt flashed in his mind, there was something about Iris that intrest him, something that he couldn’t quite place his hands on.

Today, he was to be introduced to the new staff members and handle several critical contracts and proposals. The prospect of fresh faces in the office, particularly the rumored pretty new hires, added a layer of excitement to his day.

He finally arrived at The Kendrick Empire, his chauffeur got down and opened the door for him, stepping into the glorious Empire, a reputable firm built on hard work, resilience, dedication and consistency. Owned by generation before Ryan and now is about to be passed to Ryan.

The building itself was a modern marvel, with sleek glass exteriors and state-of-the-art facilities, reflecting the company’s prestigious reputation

His assistant and close friend, Luca, was waiting for him just outside the office. “Morning, Ryan,” Luca greeted, holding out a briefcase.

“Morning,” Ryan replied, a sly smile playing on his lips.

“What have I missed?”

“Not much, just the usual. But we’ve got some fresh talent joining us today,” Lucasaid with a knowing grin. “I think you’ll find them quite… interesting.

“Ryan chuckled, shaking his head. “Women are always the same,” he mused. “Don’t take them too seriously.”

As they walked through the corridors of The Kendrick Empire, staff members paused and stood still, a mark of respect for the man who would soon take over the reins of the company.

Ryan and Lucaentered the elevator, which swiftly carried them to the first floor where Ryan’s office was located.

Ryan’s office was an oasis of class, a place where he could command the empire he was destined to lead.

The office was a blend of grandeur and functionality, with large windows offering an extensive view of the city. The space was dominated by a massive mahogany desk, surrounded by comfortable leather chairs.

His name is boldly written on the door “Director”. To one side, a plush seating area provided a space for informal meetings, while a door at the far end led to a private resting room equipped with a bed, a small bathroom, and a minibar.

Ryan hung his suit jacket on a coat rack and settled into his chair, while Lucatook a seat across from him.

“Welcome back, Ryan,” Lucasaid, leaning back with a smile.”Thanks, man.

How have things been while I was…’honeymooning’?” Ryan asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

“You know there’s nothing like that between me and that stripper,” Ryan scoffed, rolling his eyes. “She’s just a means to an end.”

“She’s your wife now. Maybe it’s time to drop the stripper story,” Luca Suggested, though his tone was light-hearted.

Ryan waved off the comment. “Let’s get down to business. Call in the new staff.”Lucanodded and stepped out briefly before returning with a group of fresh-faced employees.

They lined up in front of Ryan’s desk, nervous yet eager to make a good impression.”Welcome to The Kendrick Empire,” Ryan began, his authoritative tone making it clear who was in charge.

“Introduce yourselves.”

One by one, the new hires introduced themselves, detailing their backgrounds and roles within the company.

Ryan’s eyes scanned the group, lingering a bit longer on the female employees. There was something about new faces that always intrigued him.

“Mr. Kendrick, I’m Emily Harper,” a striking brunette said, her voice steady despite the evident nerves. She was tall, not pretty on the face, with an air of confidence that caught Ryan’s attention.

But one thing Ryan observed was that she was well endowed with the back side and her chest was well packed.

“I’ll be working in the marketing department.””Nice to meet you, Emily,” Ryan replied, his eyes locking onto hers for a moment longer than necessary.

“I look forward to seeing what you bring to the team.”The introductions continued, but Ryan’s mind kept drifting back to Emily till the introduction was over and everyone returned to their office.

“A taste of her I must have,” he said to himself, smirking..

Ryan settled into his leather chair in his office, the weight of his responsibilities pressing down on him. He slipped his hot coffee, burning a path down his throat, yet feeling numb to the thought dancing in his mind.

The ringing of his office phone broke through his thought, he picked up the telephone, knowing who it would be before he heard the voice on the other end.

“Ryan, how’s your day at the office going?” His father’s voice was as commanding as ever, the authority in it wavering.

“Productive,” Ryan replied, leaning back in his chair. “Met the new staff, handled some contracts. Everything is under control.”

“Good,” his father responded. “I have high expectations, Ryan. The company needs strong leadership, especially now. Make sure you’re focused.

“I am, Dad. You don’t have to worry”.

There was a pause on the other end before his father spoke again. “And Iris? How is she settling in?”

Ryan’s grip tightened. “She’s… adjusting.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Remember, the terms are clear, two years in marriage, an heir. Don’t lose sight of that.”

“I won’t,” Ryan promised, though the words felt hollow even to him.

“When am I expecting an heir?” His father asked.

“Uh-m Soon dad, very soon, we are working on that” Ryan replied.

As the call ended, Ryan’s thoughts returned to Iris. He stood up, the decision was made. It was time to see if she had prep for the evening as he had instructed.
