Lost Love

chapter 4

I woke up from the bed  hearing the knock on the door. Mary was standing there ready to knock again.

"Yes. Mary what happened"? I asked her peacefully instead of showing how I actually felt. I hated it whenever someone disturbs my sleep.

"Mam your mother called you for dinner. She said politely".

"Ok. Tell her I'll be there in 15 minutes". I told her and went into my room shutting the door.

After taking a quick shower, I grabbed my sweatpants and an oversized hoodie from my closet to get dressed. After combing my hairs I went downstairs for dinner.

"Mom, What's for dinner ? I am starving". I 
Whined like a child while sitting on a chair beside sophie.

"I made white sauce pasta and chicken fried rice". She replied with a sweet smile.

"I can't describe how much I missed your cooking mom". I said while putting some rice in my plate.

"She is lying mom. She never mentioned your cooking".  My stupid brother said.

"Oh! Please. Don't start with me now. Let me enjoy my delicious dinner". I told him as I start eating. I am a foodie. I will not waste my time in arguing.

When I was busy in eating, I heard Michael saying. "Why are we here dad"? That grabs my attention.

"When I came back to New York six years ago I made a friend. His name is Adam Williams. Since then he is my best friend. Even your mother knows him and his family. He has a son and a daughter, Caleb and Isabelle. Caleb is 24 years old and Isabelle is of your age Emily. Adam and I decided...

He was  interrupted by Michael saying...
"Oh god! Dad! Don't tell me you arranged Emily's marriage with his son".

"What !" we all said at the same time.

"What are you saying Michael? Have you gone mad"? My mother asked him angrily.

"No. It's just came to my mind". He mumbled.

"Seriously Michael. Why will I do that to my princess". My dad told him calmly. My father is always calm even in bad situations. He rarely gets angry but when he becomes angry.... well I can only say that me and my brother are afraid of his anger.

"Let him finish first Michael". Sophie said to him.

"So as I  was saying me and my friend decided to become business partners. We both have handed over the companies to our children. So we want you guys to do it for us". My dad completed while taking a sip from his glass of wine.

"Business partners" ? Sophie asked dad with a confusing face.

"I hope you guys know Williams as they are freaking billionaire's like us". My dad said.

"Are you talking about Caleb Williams ? The well known businessman of New York". Micheal asked dad.

"Yes. He is the son of my friend Adam". Dad replied to him.

"You know him"? I asked Michael. I was curious. I don't know any Caleb.

"I met him last year in a business conference in France. I didn't knew you and his father are friends dad. Michael said .

"I don't know them". Sophie said.

"That makes the two of us". I told her pointing my fork at her and me.

"Don't worry you guys will meet them tomorrow. As we are going for a dinner at their house". Dad informed us.

"Ok. It's done then. Children we will meet Williams tomorrow. Now concentrate on your food". Mom said in a high voice reminding us we are still eating our dinner.
