Mr billionaire's regret chasing his irresistible wife by Gabby Emmanuel

Turbulent waters

(JARED'S POV.)

I walked up the steps, my eyes fixed on Mr. Langley just so I didn't have to speak with anyone else. I couldn't trust my mother in situations like this. She had a way of roping me into unexpected conversations. "Mr. Langley," I called out as I stepped up to the yacht's deck.

He was deep in conversation with a fellow I surmised to be the sailor.

"Ahh. Jared. Come up here, son," he gestured with his hand. He quickly dismissed the sailor.

"Son?" I scoffed inwardly. Not when he's top on the list of the people I suspect to be sabotaging my company.

"Hi, " I nodded with a forced smile. "Quite a remarkable yacht you've got here," I chipped in with a smile.

"Oh it's a rental. Cost a decent sum alongside the apartment. And to think we're only renting for a couple of days! Crazy, I tell you," he shook his head. "Sorry we had to drag you all the way out here.. away from your company. I know it must have cost you a lot to honor the invitation," he said, clasping my hand in both of his.

Tell me something I don't know, I rolled my eyes internally. But I kept the smile on, revealing nothing of my internal thoughts.

"Oh, it's nothing, Mr. Langley. Family comes first," I smiled.

"And that fills my heart with so much joy. You'll make a great son-in-law. I'm certain about that," he beamed. "Did you see the ladies?"

"Yeah. Bumped into them on the way here," I said.

"We better go join them. Julie will grow a fit if she realizes I've been gone long. The woman takes things like this a little too personal," he rolled his eyes in exaggerated exasperation. Well, that was one part I seemed to agree with him on, and I fell in step beside him.
