One sunny morning in Paris, France. Frédéric came from work, exhausted. He went directly to his room, took a bath and changed his clothes. He is the CEO of TAG Heuer . His father is the richest man in the world who owns luxury brands all over the world. He is the second youngest son of the brilliant businessman Bernard Arnault and One of the famous pianists in France, Hélène Mercier. His only sister Delphine Arnault is a businesswoman, director and executive vice president at Louis Vuitton, and chairwoman and chief executive officer of Dior. His oldest brother, Antoine Arnaul the vice-chairman and former CEO of Christian Dior SE. His second older brother Alexandre Arnault currently serves as the Executive Vice President of the jewelry company Tiffany & Co. and is also a Director of the Carrefour Group. And his youngest brother Jean Arnault, the youngest scion of the LVMH dynasty, joined Louis Vuitton's watchmaking division as director of marketing and development. Despite their parents busy schedules they make sure that they still have time for their kids and heirs. The siblings are very close to each other, they're best of friends.

At the Arnault Mansion

"John, is my mom home already?" Frédéric asks their Butler.

"She's in the study room Mr. Frédéric, she came home an hour before you. She's a little preoccupied." John says.

"I see , thank you for letting me know, John. I'll go check her on the study" Frédéric replied to John.

Frédéric goes straight to his mother's study room and knocks on the door.

"Mom, may I please come in?" Frédéric asks permission.

"Of course , Love! You don't need to ask permission. Come on in." His mother replied.

"How's your day Mom?" Frédéric asks his mother.

"I had a great day today, Love. I visited some of our stores here" His mom smiled.

"Of course Mom, you're the best partner of dad when it comes to business." Frédéric praised his mom.

"Thank you, Love. How's your day by the way? How's the life of the famous CEO?" his mother laughed. She knows that Frédéric loves their business but hates big responsibility, not that he's irresponsible but he thinks that's too early for him to take over their business at the age of 28.

"It was exhausting, Mom. I visit 7 branches today, check every store, make sure that we provide quality products to our consumers and address the concern of our employees" Frédéric said while smiling.

"You are indeed your father's son" Frédéric smiled with his mother's statement.

"Mom, would you like to watch a movie with me in the theater?" Frédéric asks his Mom ,"and maybe drink a little good glass of wine."

"I would love to, my Love, however I need to finish this business monthly report. It is due this Friday" Frédéric's mom said.

"I understand Mom, I'll just go ahead and watch. You can drop by later if you're free" Frédéric kissed his moms cheek and exited the study.

Frédéric is now in their Theater watching some movies on Netflix however he got bored and accidentally accessed YouTube on their smart TV screen. Frédéric was looking for an MV on YouTube when he clicked the first video on the trending section.

"LALISA" he clicked the MV.

"Lisa".. the words that silently came out from his mouth.

Frédéric is so focused on the TV screen that he does not notice that his youngest brother Jean enters the room.

(Fake cough) " Is she so exquisite that you did not notice your favorite brother?" Jean said and smiled.

Frédéric looks at the person standing beside him.

"What? What are you talking about Jean?" Frédéric was curious about his brother's statement.

"Come on Fréd, I've been standing here beside you for like 3 minutes, I'm still waiting for you to notice me but I get frustrated so I talk. Do you like the singer?" Jean added.

"She's pretty Jean. I don't know but this is the first time that I get this feeling you know" Frédéric said.

"Must be love at first sight, that's what they call it Fréd" said by the youngest one.

"Maybe, but anyways. How's your day bro? How's the business?" Fréd asked his brother.

"Ugggggh..It is so hard Fréd, I love to be like dad but this is so hard, our business is using every neuron in my brain! " Jean started ranting in front of his brother.

While the siblings are having a really good conversation, the door of the theater opens and reveals their Mother. Mrs. Arnault enters the theater and is amazed by how their kids turn out. A loving sibling.

"How are my babies?" Mrs. Arnault said.

"Come on mom, we are not babies anymore, please don't call us that. Especially Mum, don't call me baby Jean at the uni." Jean smiles at her mother while talking.

"You call Jean baby Jean at school mum? Hahaha that was crazy! " Fréd asked his mother and laughed.

" In my defense, that was one time when I was invited to speak in front of the future entrepreneurs, I didn't mean to call him that. Sorry Son," Mrs. Arnault explained.

"That's alright Mum! I just endured a week full of teasing from my friends. You know that crazy best buddy of mine, Franco, calls me baby Jean, that moron loves to tease me" Jean said.

The three of them started laughing and spent an hour talking and drinking wine. They went back to their respective rooms after the talk. This is a normal scenario in the mansion. Once the five or six of them are present together, they will bond and talk about their day in the theater. This family has a strong bond and relationship.
