"Yes Alissa, I forwarded all the information to you already. Have my attorney look over it." I said and ended the call as I unlocked my car.

"Wait up!" Kane called and I spun around and saw him walking towards me. "You were great in there." He mumbled as he kissed my forehead and I smiled.

"You think so? I mean the presentation was all off and I wasn't even sure about some parts, and I'm still waiting for my assistant to confirm those bank numbers." I rambled and he cut me off with a soft kiss.

"It was perfect." He assured me and I sighed. "So where you off to?" He asked as he leaned against my car and I put my purse in the backseat.

"Well I only have access to an assistant since my parents are letting me take on a few tasks for the firm, so I am very busy." I said as he leaned closer towards me.

"Too busy for me?" He mumbled as his lips trailed down my neck.

"Way too busy for you." I responded as I kissed his cheek and climbed into my car. I turned on the engine and drove out of the driveway. 

My earpiece beeped, signalling that someone called me and I pressed the answer button at a stop light. "Camila Hernandez. Talk to me." I said quickly.

I know that sometimes I can take things too seriously, especially this so-called 'job' that my parents gave me. But I aspire to be as strong as my mother one day, and you can never start too early.

"Umm hey, it's Serena. You said you wanted to meet?" She said slowly as I took a right.

"Hey, yeah um, I need to meet you somewhere. We have to discuss your club opening." I responded.

"I can meet you at the centre. I need a few things." She said with a yawn. "I can be there in 20." I replied and ended the call.

I groaned as I answered my assistant's call. "Alissa, this better be news I can work with." I drawled and she cleared her throat.

"Your attorney wants to meet with you following the file I forwarded to her," She said quickly and I pushed my hair out of my face.

"Review my schedule for today," I parked my car across the street and picked up my bag and the file sitting next to it.

"You are currently on your way to meet Miss Brookes, followed by a meeting with Miss Stevens. After that, your father suggested that you go home and start working on the minor cases that he handed you."

"I already did those. Call him every 5 minutes until he answers and then forward me the call." I said sternly as I locked my car and started walking down the street.

I headed into the coffee shop to get a coffee and looked over the files that my father wanted.

He's very...overbearing.

Even though he pretty much hired me, he doesn't think I can stay on top of the work that he's given me.

He basically thinks I'm still 15.

My phone vibrated as I unlocked my phone and answered the message.

NYAH: where am i meeting u?

ME: yh not now

NYAH: why not?

ME: i got shit to do first

NYAH: well what am i supposed to do? i was gonna go gym

ME: i'll call u

I sighed deeply as I packed up my things and headed out of the shop. I have just over 5 minutes until I need to meet Serena. My earpiece beeped and I pressed answer straight away.
