AFFECTION

TWELVE

ONE WEEK LATER

(◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。

"Elizabeth?"

"No No! She's married and with two kids."

She scrolled further, "This Felicity? Who's she?"

He chuckled, "Felicity is my hotel manager in Australia and she's in her later fifties."

She nodded and scrolled further, "Gianna, Garry, Gabriella?"

"No no no Erica! They are our aunts! Papa's side."

She chuckled, "Well, I haven't met them to know them."

"It is good you haven't met them. There is no need."

Erica and David were sitting in his room, searching a potential bride for him, and the first idea Erica came up with was to go through his contact list.

"Hannah?"

He shook his head, "That girl is too stuck up in her ass. And well she ran behind Eric in the college so you..."

"Cancelled cancelled!!", She yelled before he could say anything more, and that made him laugh.

"Hilda?"

"That's my maid Erica!!"

"Hope?", As the name flew out of her mouth, both siblings looked at each other horrified for a second before they burst out laughing.

Erica giggled, "Hope will have my head for even thinking of the possibility."

"She's hot though!", He commented cockily.

"Oh! C'mon David! Don't even think!"

He chuckled, "Are you getting possessive over your female friend Erica?"

"No! Let's look for another...so many useless girls on your phone."

He rolled his eyes, "Well I didn't know I'd have to marry again for that little shit."

"He has a name David!!"

He looked at her and narrowed his eyes, "Even I do!! Why does he call me Dickaayyy!"

"You are thirty plus, and he's not even three for god sake!"

"Oh Erica! Age is just a fucking number."

Lily, his PA was asked to organize an interview in the name of an assistant, but nothing worked.

"You know you can't find a life partner by interviewing random women!", Erica commented tired from the whole ordeal.

"What do you expect me to do then? Court them? We don't have time for that, and I don't have energy for that."

"Think of something else then.", Just then the door to the conference room burst open, revealing a very handsome looking Eric, who was holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Erica! You didn't inform me you'll be here? Anthony just now told me."

Erica looked at him uncomfortably, "Uhmm...it was a sudden plan...David was holding an interview..."

"Oh! So I heard! Did you find an "assistant" Mr. Wellington?", He taunted.

He knew David better than anyone on Earth, and he was aware David's brain will cook this exact recipe.

He recalled the days from their teenage when David was so irritated at the fact that his best friend will not get married because he can't court women to save his life. He used to propose the idea of holding an interview for a wife.
