The talk. chapter 1

I was only 24 and I had started my own business 5 years ago and it had skyrocketed, I was almost a millionaire following in my father's footsteps, he was proud of me his only child becoming successful and hard working.

My father got put in a hospital around 3 years ago. They said his surgery would be difficult, and no surgeon in the area was capable enough. Like always, we talked in his hospital room around once every fortnite.
"Son, there is this girl," my father started
"Father, what have I told you, im too busy. I'm not looking for anyone," I said before he could finish
My father sighs
"I don't want you to be alone when I'm not here," he said with sorrowful eyes
I hated whenever he would talk like that
"You're not going to die. You'll be fine,"
He chuckled
"Nick, if they can't find a surgeon soon, I won't survive,"
My lips pursed, I knew he wasn't wrong, but I didn't want to accept it
"If you at least try to go on a date with this girl, I might be able to pass without worry," he said, persuading me
"Fine," I said reluctantly
"Please tell me what she looks like, her name, and where we should meet."
my father chuckled, seeing how easily I gave in
"Her name is Melody, she has light brown hair and pale skin, she works an office job just like you except she's not a ceo like you are"
the name melody seemed familiar
"Melody, didn't she used to work with Mother?" I said curiously
"Yes, she did, I didn't know you knew her,"
"I haven't seen her before, but I remember mother talking about her before she died,"
"Right... meet her at the Golden Gate restaurant at 5pm tomorrow, please. "
My eyes widen
"I have work tomorrow,"
My father smiled
"Not anymore," he said, looking at my secretary
"Right, Angela."
"Yes sir," Angela replied
I glared at Angela
"Please, son, just go along, and if you don't like her, you can leave."
I nod and leave the room with Angela
