Memories of the Heart

Chapter 23

Becky

We are at Dad's office now, the meeting just finished. That bish, he's our new investor. I'm glad that it's someone we already know tho and not another Sr. throwing their Sons at me.  Dad broke my thoughts when he spoke.

"Princess, He looked just like her right?"

"Who Dad?"

"Oh you know who I meant, Princess. Mr. Chankimha, He looked exactly like Freen. They also have the same last name and by the way, you knew each other?"

My heart ached for a second when I heard Freen's name.

"Yes, Dad. Their features are uncanny. I've met Feros before, He is Nams friend and eventually became one of my friend too. At first I also thought He was Freen. To be honest, Dad. I just knew his last name earlier."

Dad probably noticed my mood.

"Princess, don't you think it's time to move on? It's been years. Hmmmm Mr. Chankimha seemed like a good catch, don't you think?"

Dad chuckled. I knew he was just trying to make me smile. If only He knew. Even if I go butt naked infront of Feros, He won't pay attention.

"Dad"

Dad knew exactly what I'm conveying when I said that. As I thought He raised both his hands surrendering.

"Okay. I know, I know... No one is replacing your first love in your heart. But, Kid. What if you have to choose?"

"Again, what are you saying, Dad?"

Dad sadly sat on his chair and looked outside.

"You know that until now the company is struggling. What if you needed to choose? A person to marry"

"What!? Seriously dad!?"

I bolted up my chair squinting my eyes at him.

"Oh shit. Sorry, Princess, forget what i said. You're scary. Sit back down please."

"That's not gonna happen Dad. Of all people, you know I hate this Aarrange marriage stuff. I'd rather die single."

"I know. I know."

"I'm sorry, Dad."

"I understand, Kid. I know what you've been through. Heck until now you're still mad at your Mom"

He's right. Just like Non, I also blamed Mom why I lost Freen. If she didn't insist Non to me and fed his ego, Freen and I could still be together and happy. I also found out that she spoke ones to Freen asking her to stay away from me. Good thing Freen is kinda hard headed and did not do it.

Out conversation got cut off when his secretary knocked and then went in after dad allowed her to enter.

"Mr. President, Mr. Chankimha is looking for Ms. Armstrong."

Dad is now looking at me teasingly.

"Thank you Ms. Perez. Tell him she'll be out in a min. Okay, Kid you may now go. We'll talk again next time"

"Okay. Bye Dad."

I kissed his cheek before I went out. When I reached the receiving area I saw Feros sitting like the boss he is. If I didn't knew he was gay I'd probably find it attractive.

"Bec! Let's go to a Bar! My treat! Heng, Nam and the rest of our friends will be there. At Wolf Den. 7pm. See you!"  

He directly said and left. Eh? didn't even let me speak.

Both Ms. Perez and I just looked at each other because of what happened. We then both chuckled.
