Fairy Lights

Prologue

When Isobel was born, Pierre was already three months old. Their parents, being best friends since university, were thrilled that their kids will have the privilege to grow up with each other. They were thinking that the two will be inseparable, but they couldn't be more wrong.

Bel and Pierre started fighting even before started talking and things went even worse as the years went by. By the time they went to high school, their fights were so usual that no one was surprised when they stopped talking to each other. Well, that wasn't entirely true. They had to talk every day at their family meetings, and every morning when John, Pierre's older brother drove them to school. But that was it.

After graduation, they thought that they will finally be free from each other but little did they know that they had been accepted into the same university. After four years full of parties, destroying each other's love life, fights, and school assignments which for some reason they ended up doing together, more fights and after drove each other crazy were finally ready to go work with their parents.

Being the owners' kids of "Fairy Lights" one of the most famous publishing houses was always something the two of them loved. They both loved books and reading and was their dream to one day be able to continue what their parents started. With John out of the picture, since he had chosen to become a doctor, those two were the ones who would have to keep the family business alive.

That morning, was the first one that they were at the company officially for work. All those summers and vacations that they had both decided to sacrifice in order to work there since they were 10 didn't count. Pierre arrived five minutes later than Bel and found her waiting in the lobby for her boss ( aka her father ) to call her in for a welcome talk. ( as it was his usual thing to do with all the new employees )

"Good morning." Helen, the receptionist told them with a smile. "Mr. Tom is ready to see you, darlings." She said to them and they both nodded. They knew Helen for almost 15 years now and it was kinda weird to address them that way.

"Bel, Pierre! Good morning!" Mr. Tom said when he saw his daughter and his best friend's son. "Come - come, please sit down." He said and left the pen that he was holding on his desk.

"Good morning." They both said, even if they had breakfast together less than two hours before.

"Your timing is perfect." He said making them look at each other. "You'll be able to meet Mr. James before you start your first day."

"Who?" They both asked confused in unison.
"Mr. James. Our new potential investor.!" Mr. Tom said again with a smile while someone knocked on the door.
