"Well, everyone is waiting. We can't afford to be late." Mr Nicholas stated. Her father is a man with humor but when it came to his job, you would think otherwise. Since she was an only child, he had always spoiled her.
"Okay, I'll change real quick! Oh, and dad?"
"What?"
"Your wrinkles." Sianne winked then left. Her dad has been too stressed lately and it was probably because her mother's death anniversary was coming. It has been twenty three years since she died and that was right after she was born. In those twenty years, it has always been her and her dad. Not many knows about her because of her dad's over protective nature and she wasn't complaining. Being a daughter of a billionaire, it's not easy to hide from the media. Right now, she's just grateful that she doesn't have to think about anyone following her around/

The reception was amazing. The school's grand hall was decorated with a red carpet in the middle. The theme color was cream with a hint of gold and yellow. In front was a podium that will be open when the program starts. Thinking about it, the last time she went to an event such as this was when she was in high school. She didn't like going to them very much and her dad respected that.
The event started and eventually, Sianne couldn't stay much longer and decided to leave.
The school's rooftop was the best place in the whole department and is her favorite place. It has a placebo on the right. Grass surrounded the flowers covering most of the place. On the left were planted trees. It was already in the afternoon which made it a little breezy.
"Going to the rooftop with a dress on was probably not a good idea," Sianne thought to herself. Sianne walked towards the grass and lay down. Her dress was long so she didn't have a problem hiding her legs. Sianne closed her eyes and thought about her life. The year was almost over and she will soon graduate, which she wasn't looking forward to. This means getting serious and working at her dad's company and then marry a man she doesn't even know and all she could do was wish that the man will be someone caring enough...

"Is there a high place where I could see the overview of the school?" Kleigh asked a student. The whole idea of building a new research department was a lot easier than what Kleigh thought. It wasn't just because the University was what one would call spacious, each department that will be made in the future was already planned way before the University was established.
"The rooftop on the business administration department is located on the north side of the University. It is the closest here. You could go there, sir." The young man said.
"Could you show me where?"
"I have a class in a while, sir but I could tell you which way you could go." Kleigh thanked him and half ran to the rooftop. It was already late in the afternoon and it would be hard to look at the school if it got too dark. As soon as he got there, he opened the door and realized that the sun had already set in. He was about to turn around and go back when he saw a woman laying down on the grass and thinking she was dead, he ran towards her. Unfortunately, Kleigh did not see the purse on the ground and clumsily fell down with his face just inches away from the woman's.

Sianne opened her eyes and was startled to see a man's face so close to her. Sianne's first thought was that he was hot and without thinking, she lifted her head closer to his and asked, " are you planning on moving or do I have to do it for you?" Amusement filled her voice and openly looked at his profile.
"I...I'm sorry," He cleared his throat and as the gentleman he was, offered his hand. Sianne didn't think twice in taking it and felt a tingling sensation as they hold hands. After getting up, the man took his hand away.
"Do you always get on top of girls without their permission?"
"Uh no, that was an accident. Are you alright?" The question made Sianne laughed but as soon as she saw the concern in his eyes, she stopped then cleared her throat and answered, " I'm fine. Just fell asleep."
"Alright, well, excuse me but I have to go."
"O-kay. Thanks...I guess. Do you have a name at least? You know, so I would know my saviour's name?" Sianne flirted and the man stared blankly at her.
"It's Kleigh." Kleigh turned back and walked towards the door, he suddenly left on his track then said. "Before you get the wrong idea, I don't date girls."
Sianne couldn't speak a word after hearing his name. She knew that the man arranged to be her husband was coming to Europe but she didn't expect to see him up close. She wanted to laugh out loud and tell him that he doesn't have a choice on who to date, but something stopped her. Her dad certainly chose a good man, but apparently, she's not even his type. This was going to be tough.
