"Girl! I'm going to pretend you didn't just sound like a black American,are you trying to change yourself for Mike?" Sarah shots her questions. Sarah turned full mama bear on Geraldine,she being the oldest and all. I was the youngest since I was the only one left to clock 19. "I just like how it sounds Sarah,I'm not changing for anybody" the honesty oozing from Gera eased Sarah up slightly. "Better but I got my eyes on you" she glares at the poor girl, "whatever so Lizzy about the party" Gera changes the topic. "It should be only our age group" Sarah imputes,"how I'm I going to make that happen?!" I groaned. "Tell your parents to leave the house with Ethan,your grandpa leaves only few blocks down right?" "Yes but dad won't agree to it," "he has to,try all your superpowers on him" Sarah smirks. "Okay even if I could make that happen what else?" "We invite all our ex classmates and the once a few sets before us ending in Gabriel's set ofcourse" Sarah shrugs. "We're inviting my brother?" "Yes you have a problem with it?" Sarah cocks her brows up. "Girls back on topic please" I sigh,"okay so that's that,we get alcohol and snacks and the party is good to go" Gera grins. "Drugs even," Sarah adds,"no,no, drugs are not allowed,like you said my grandpa lives few blocks away dad can show up at anytime and I won't put anything pass him" I rant. "She's right and dealing with drunk adults is one thing but high adults is a whole other level of fucked up I would know" Gera agrees. "Okay fine no drugs but I need time to think off something for the party," "let's meet up every lunch to discuss" I said and they nod. "Now that's that out of the way let's order I'm starving" Gera sighs looking behind her to signal a waiter over.
"Bye Lizzy!" Gera waves from her car,"bye sis bye Sarah!" I called out before climbing into my car. Sarah zooms off first followed by Gera who waved me again,I followed behind. Sarah takes the opposite direction and Gera follows,I was the only one heading right. Soon I pulled into the office parking lot,cutting the engine off. I was full and energized,happy even that's what my girls do to me. I can't even picture a life without them in it,I climbed down from my ride,speed walking into the building. I may have spent more than my lunch break with them I just hope William didn't notice. I took the elevator and was joined in by Simon,"hey Simon" I called out surprised. "Lizzy I haven't seen you in a while" he gives me a boyish smile,"I know right" I giggled. After a few seconds of silence he asked,"So how is working for the boss?" "It's okay I rarely see him anyway" I shrugged. "You must feel lucky," "what?" I asked turning to him confused,"I mean not having to worry about getting fired is great" he sighs dreamily, smiling at me. "What do you mean? I can get fired," I raised my brows, everything if this conversation was confusing me. "No weren't you told,your dad sighed an agreement that only him can decided when you stop working and if they fire you,he leaves too" Simpson rants out like it was the most obvious thing. My eyes widen,"why will he do that?!" "Wait you really didn't know? I'm sorry" Simon frowns, starting to pale slightly. "Does everyone know?" "No I only found out because I'm a lawyer also and I prepared the contract" he explains. He has no faith in me,what kind of father does this to their own child. "Lizzy I'm....." "no it's not your fault thanks for telling me" I smiled,"please don't tell anyone you heard from me" he begs, probably fearing for his job,I'm sure he was demanded strict confidentiality. "Ofcourse I'm not a snitch" I chuckled, trying to brush off my annoyance as a joke,the elevator stops and I walked out not even bothering to ask why Simon was on our floor. I hurried into my office,as I walked in,I let at what sounded like a squeak or scream. "Hey beautiful" Charles winks,"hi Charles" I breath out holding my chest,"why are you here?" I walked further into the room. "I came to take you out for lunch but you weren't here so I waited" he grins spinning slightly on my chair. "Oh!" Was all I could say,really all I wanted to do was match to dad's office and demand an explanation, Charles being here was hindering that. "Sit down Lizzy you look pale" he says worried,"ummm I'm fine just tired can you leave?" I ask not even caring how rude that sounded,"Ofcourse I was on my way out anyway,get some rest okay?" he smiles,"I will". He walks towards me giving me a hug before leaving,"that was weird" I sighed. I placed my bag down taking deep breaths before stomping out of my office. The law firm of this building is located on the 10th floor so I took the elevator down. I have never being on this floor before so I didn't really know where my father's office was. I approached a desk at the corner where two women sat conversing,"excuse me!" They look up at me,"yes?" "I'm Lizzy Morgan and I'm looking for my father" I smiled. They eyed me warily before replying,"the third office on your right,knock before entering". "Okay thank you" I nod before walking away,I counted the doors until I came across the third one. It had dad's name on it even,I knocked as the ladies instructed. "Come in" dad calls out and I stormed in,"Lizzy?!" he looks up in shock. His desk was covered with files leaving little space for his laptop. A family portrait was hung on the wall,I looked about 13. "How could you dad?" "What are you talking about?" he leans back into his chair. "You signed a contract that I couldn't be fired!" He shots up straight,shocked. "Who told you that?" "Is it true?" I dodged his question not wanting to give Simon up. "Lizzy I...." He stutters,"Is it true dad?" I cut him off,"yes but," "you didn't think I could survive right?" "No lizzy I have faith in you it was only for security I didn't want you to go through the pain of being fired Incase," he tries to explain. "I don't believe you" I glared at him, feeling my anger heighten. "I never lie" he frowns,I sucked in a breath,dad really never lies but still he thought I would get fired. "I'm hurt dad,I can't believe you would do something like this to me,does mom know?" "I tell her everything Lizzy and you're overreacting" he snorts. "I'm overreacting really? Is that all you have to say!" I yelled,"watch your damn tone young lady!" dad hits his desk with a yell. I cried silently,"go back to work we will address this at home". I wiped my tears leaving,my makeup was waterproof thankfully. The lady's watched me as I cried pass them into the elevator.
♥️♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭Lizzy darling so hurt,vote and comment. Generally speaking I think Simon is a lousy mouth but hey atleast Lizzy knows what's up.
