82. What is a Woman?

Athena

The sky looked so calm and beautiful. The cold wind didn't effected me much since i love cold weather a lot. In fact Christmas is my favorite festival of the year.

I sat in my balcony with my legs crossed on the table and a glass of scotch in my hand while i waited for him. There was another empty glass on the table with a bottle of scotch and a bucket full of ice.

After few minutes the door of my room was pushed open and i heard his heavy footsteps walking towards me. He sat right in front of me.
"I was waiting for me..."
"Sorry for been late." He said and filled his glass with scotch with two ice cubes.

"You wanted to talk about something?" He asks
"Yes, actually I want to know the reason why you hate Andrew so much?"
"I don't hate him. I just don't like him" he replied while looking at the sky.
"Why?" I asked.

He didn't answered instead he stood up and walked towards the railing. He looked at the sky absentmindedly. I stood beside him and looked at him wondering what's going on in his pretty mind.

"I always wanted you to be a queen. I wanted you to rule the world " he said in a low voice.
"Am i not a queen?" I asked
"You're but i am scared that Andrew will destroy everything. Your love for him will destroy everything that you have worked so hard for" i can see fear in his eyes. He thinks Andrew will be my downfall.

"I don't hate Andrew. But when it comes to you i want to kill him. " he said
"He is not my weakness. He is my strength " he laughed at my words.
"You know what this all sounds good in movies but reality it's not like this" he said.

"You're right reality is very different from what we think. Now look at you only. You think i am Queen. But the world only see me as a woman who should take care of her home not rule the business world" i said sternly.

"No matter how big our degree but orthodox mentality never dies. "
"You know thats not true " he said
"It's the truth. You know how much i have to struggle to get position as CEO of Williams group. Even though the position rightfully and lawfully belonged to me." I said.

"I knew that one mistake and everything will be destroyed that my aunt and uncle worked so hard for. But do you think this problem would have arise if i was not a girl " his eyes filled with sadness and he turned his face to right. He didn't want to face me.

"I am not saying that men are incapable. They're capable but so are women. If men can rule the business world then women is also capable of ruling the business world. " i sighed.
"I don't know why men gets jealous of our success. When we women never gets jealous of there success. In fact we support them. " i said.

"Athena i really don't understand how is all this related to Andrew.." he yelled
"Because unlike other men, Andrew loves me, supports me and protects me. He celebrate my success instead of getting jealous.... " i said calmly.

"But he broke your heart..."
"To protect me. He broke my heart to protect me from danger. He even became cheater to keep me safe. And you know this very well" i said.

"So what Athena? I also love you, support you and encourage you for everything. Our family also supports you. We don't have those conservative mentality " he snapped at me.
I couldn't help myself but laugh at his words.
"Why the hell are you laughing?"
"Because you are an idiot. A fucking idiot " i yelled at him. He narrows his eyes at me. He looked furious. But that doesn't effect me even a bit.

I walked towards him and looked into his eyes.
"Why the hell are you only the heir of Paulsen empire? What about us? " i sighed and shook my head in disappointment.
"I can understand that grandpa and dad are grown up old generations. They have orthodox mentality but you're of this generation. You know everything but never tried to correct this. Have you ever asked Dad that why i am only the heir of these whole empire? What Athena? Evelyn? Amelia?"
