"Nayla, you better get her ass before I slam this blonde bitch."
"How am I get her if she's pissing me off too?"
Grandpa Kim scheduled several penthouses for Chai and me to go view but, whilst his grandparents are in town, they have stolen Chai these past few weeks. But I understand, it comes with the territory. Soon they want Chai to take over everything when they retire so he will be gone a lot more than I'd like and way, way busier.
This is the life of a Kim.
Anyways, I got Samirah to come house hunting with me and the lady in charge of the viewing is gonna piss me off. The penthouse is straight out of a dream with huge ceilings and big windows that overlook the city plus it is amazingly modern. It has five bedrooms and four bathrooms and the decor is white, soft cream-coloured wood and glass. Everything is just huge and spacious, I don't even know how they fit a two-floor penthouse with this much space within an apartment building.
The only drawback is the lady showing it... I could tell from the moment she saw that she didn't think Sam and I, two black girls combined, could afford this.
And she's right.
But you know who can? My new grandparents.
"Nayla," grandad Kim's voice travelled before he came into view to give Sam and me a hug and kiss on the cheek, "hi darling, I thought I would come to say hi as Sommie is with Anurak for the afternoon in a meeting with a health board from a hospital. What do you think of this beauty?"
Melissa's tan washed right out of her face. After all, this is Baekhyun Kim, a legend in the real estate world. Real estate and anything in relation to that world is practically the Kim playground. I bet her small brain never saw it coming...
"Mr Kim, if I can jump in," Samirah started turning all eyes in the room to her, "I think Melissa has a problem with showing us the house, I feel like she hasn't been trying her best. When we ask questions she keeps telling us to look at the leaflet or to email someone."
"Is that so," Mr Kim enquired giving Melissa a cold stare, "I would hope my Nayla would not be having that sort of treatment, especially when we invested so much into this building. Do you have a problem with showing them the house Melissa?"
"N-No Mr Kim of course not, I-I just happen to have a col-"
"You showed up to work did you not?"
"Yes, Mr Kim."
"So, it is just incompetence that prevents you from doing your job to a good standard?"
"Mr-"
"Melissa, do you want to continue to work in the real estate sector?"
I see where his daughter gets it from because grandad Kim does not miss a beat. He was on that ass like a silent storm, just checking her ass with grace and a calmness that is scary.
"Yes," Melissa whispered holding back tears.
"Good, if you want to even have a showing in Alaska, you will get an agent that can show my grandaughter-in-law this house with the utmost professionalism within five minutes. If not... you and the agency you work for will be blacklisted."
It's time to tell you that I am a very rich bitch.
"Melissa doll," Samirah added after a moment of silence, "you have four minutes left."
