All or Nothing

Chapter 6: Waiting

Valentine's POV*

*beep beep beep beep beep

I stretched my hand to my left bedside table to reach my alarm clock, *yawn* it's 5:15am and I have to prepare for my first day training.

~ Flashback ~

My jaw almost dropped with what I just read! OH MY GOSH! Is this real?! I'm not dreaming, right?! These are the papers for inheriting my parent's family business! It's finally here! I can't believe it! Yaaay! I'm so happy; I can finally continue what Dad has left.

"Are you happy?" Aunt Margo asked while she leaned closer and put her both elbows on her knees while smiling.

"Yes, of course! I've been waiting for this day for years!" I said while looking at the papers. It says here that when my parents died, the position for CEO should be transferred to the child of the past CEO. But Mommy and Daddy passed away 5 years ago, so why did this document showed up just now? "Aunt, what took this document so long?" I curiously asked her. Her smile faded, she looks sad now.

"Because someone took over the company, Val. Someone took over your parents' company while you were studying in France," she said.

"Who was it?" I continued asking, "You'll know soon enough, dear," I saw her clenched her fist and closed her eyes, now she looks very angry, I wonder who was it. "You have to train very well to retrieve back your parents' business," she continued but she looked calm now.

"How am I going to train? I don't even have a job right now." I explained to her, she smiled.

"You'll start tomorrow," she said while crossing her legs.

~ End of Flashback ~

I stood up and wore my slippers, did some stretching before hitting the shower. I took a quick shower, and then wore a white crepe shirt and white slacks. I sat on the left side of my bed to wear my white doll shoes and fixed my hair. I heard a knock on my door,

*knock knock*

"Valentine, dear, are you ready?" Aunt Margo asked behind the door.

"Yeah, I'll be right there," I replied and grabbed my shoulder bag and black coat. As I go down the stairs, Aunt was talking to someone over the phone.

"You're the only one who can teach her about this kind of business...

I know, but I can cover for you for a few months...

Don't worry, she's a fast learner, you'll be done training her in no time...

I'll drive her there now...

Okay, thank you so much. Bye!" she dropped the call.

"Who's that?" I asked while going down the stairs, "Oh, it's my friend. We had an agreement that he'll train you for what you need to get back your parents' business," she smiled. I nodded and so we went to her car and took off.

"We're almost there," Aunt Margo said while driving so I looked around through the window and saw a big and tall building to the left. "Where exactly are we going?" I asked her while looking around, looking at the huge dancing fountains and cars aligned in front the big building. "We're here," she said while slowing down in front of the entrance. I unlocked my seat belt and I couldn't believe what I'm seeing right now. A valet opened the car door for me so I stepped out, so did Aunt Margo. I'm staring at the entrance, oh, my gosh! I've never been to such kind of hotel before, this place is beyond amazing! Aunt wrapped her left arm on my right arm and we entered the lobby together.
