The Fiancée

Chapter 12

Brody Calesmay

I thought my eyes were deceiving me, the elevators doors just opened and Blue is glaring at me and the man that was supposedly passing by but has stopped infront of us. I rubbed my sweaty palms.

"Oh Brody glad I found you" he said, Blue looked unsure whether to stay or go. She eventually smiled awkwardly and walked away and I stepped out of the elevator.

"Um uncle, what are you doing here?" I asked to my mother's older brother with pepper blonde hair and a formal grey suit.

"Is that how you greet your favourite uncle?" with a smug on his ageing face.

"You're my only uncle" the sarcasm fluent in my tone.

I wonder if my mother has told him about what happened. He and my mother are very close and very alike, both evil.

My uncle has been to jail for corruption, he and my mother are alike in every single way.

"This way" he said leading me into my office. I stumbled again finding another man sitting on the corner leather couch.

"This is Mr Vergara, he owns one of the biggest shipment companies in the world" my uncle said settling down next to Mr Vergara.

Wait Mr Vergara? Isn't he the man that my mother was trying to set me up with his daughter? Oh lord it is him. I hesitantly sat down in my leather chair. Setting down my Louis Vuitton briefcase on the table.

"Okay nice to meet you sir but why are you here?" I asked sternly.

"Oh Brody this isn't how you talk to clients, anyway he has agreed to be Calesmay Holdings's new and biggest client" my uncle said crossing his legs.

Since Calesmay Holdings is in LA and South Africa, my mother runs both of them but left my uncle to run the the one here in LA because she is in South Africa most of the time. So my uncle handles all the big clients.

"Okay great, but how is this any of my concern? I run my own company not Calesmay Holdings" 

"I know but you are still the COO of Calesmay Holdings".

"I filed my resignation letter I even sold Calesmay cosmetics so Calesmay Inc can be my only priority it is more successful that Calesmay Holdings after all" I purposefully bragged.

"Why didn't you tell me and your mother that Ray is alive?" He suddenly changed the topic knowing that what I said hit the spot.

"You saw it on the newspapers so atleast you knew but please get to why you are here?" I opened my briefcase.

"Mr Vergara can be our client for the next 2 years but he has agreed to that in one condition".

I cringed in my seat getting a feeling that this condition is going to be at my expense.

"If you date his daughter" my uncle said with no conscience.

I jumped out of my seat, I knew it. Why is Mr Vergara persisting to get me to be with his daughter, that I have never even met. Something isn't right.

"This again!" I yelled frustrated.

"Calm down Brody, you have to do this for our family. You have always gotten what you wanted, look today you own the most successful company in the state."

"No! I won't" I sat back down.

"If you don't do this, I will come for Ray, you know I have the resources and you may be wealthy but me and your mother are capable of anything" my uncle said in a low dangerous voice.
