Forbidden Love (BWWM)

Chapter 6

Sebastian has been gone almost all day. And Celine is wondering where her brother is.

"I don't know where he is sweetheart. But he told me he'd be back soon okay?" I said rubbing her back in comfort.

"Okay." She said looking down at the ground.

"Okay go on to your playroom and play.  Dinner will be ready soon."

"Okay." And she ran off towards the playroom.

I turned back around towards the counter and starting cutting up all the vegetables I needed to make shepherd's pie but nearly cut myself as I heard the door open and slam.

There Sebastian was storming past me and into the living room. He looked very upset. Maybe even mad.

I wiped my hands quickly on my apron and walked towards the living room seeing Sebastian sitting on one of the white plush couches with his head between his hands.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

He looked up from his hands quickly and looked over to me.

"Uh yes, sorry yea I'm fine thank you."

"Alright." I said but as I walked away I knew he was not 'fine.' He seemed very bothered.

EARLIER

I walked out of the house in a hurry. My father is giving me a chance to talk.

I drove as fast as the speed limit would let me to his huge corporation that I'd very much like to join. It's been my dream since I was a child. But of course it was the only career choice my parents made available to me. They trained me, and coached me all the ropes of this corporation but decided I am not fit for running this business.

He said I'm too 'nice' and that I need to have authority in this type of business. But he's not giving me a chance to prove myself that I am worthy of taking over.

Finally reaching the large skyscraper building. I parked my car and brushed my hand over my suit to lessen any wrinkles as I got out of my car.

"Oh hi Mr. Adams! I wasn't expecting you." My father's PA squeaked, trying to keep up with my long strides.

"No, it was short notice. Now where is the board room that I can Skype with my father?" I said reaching the elevators.

"It's on the top floor down the hall to your right sir." She said stopping outside the elevator as I entered. I pressed the top floor button, swiping my access card along with it and waited impatiently for the doors to open.

Finally the doors opened and I walked into the board room.

I sat down in the big leather chair and the end of the long conference table  awaiting his call.

About twenty minutes later I heard the famous Skype song and I answered the call to my father on the small laptop on the table as I saw his face projected onto the huge movie theatre screen.

"Ah Son so good to see you."

"Same to you father."

"How did you find us?"

I shook my head at my father.

"You underestimate me to much my dear father. I had someone track you. Oh and what a nice place you have.." I spat. He left the home I grew up in just so I couldn't find him.

"All for this business?"

"Yes. You taught me everything there is to know about this corporation. I feel like it's only right you give me a chance."

He sighed and shook his head.

"I told you already. I don't think you're ready."

"Give me a chance. I can prove it by running this firm here. While you're away at that firm. C'mon someone needs to run this place. You'll be gone far to long to leave it on its own. We have competition. And they're already trying to take some of the firms that are weaker. If they figure out this firm which is the most popular is vulnerable, the competition will come running."

My father sighed once more running his hands roughly down his face. Than looked back up at me with a stern look.

"Fine. I'm only giving you this chance because you're right. We don't need our enemies taking any of the firms. We're gone for two or three months depending on how this deal will go. We're  partnering up with Mr. Sullivan. Do you know who he is?" My father said in a excited tone.

I guess there's no time for thank you's

"Yes Mr. Sullivan is an important man who has lots of money to offer any company he feels would help him."

"Ahh yes, and he chose us. He thinks our plan to increase hybrid cars to stop pollution is an excellent idea."

"That's great news!"

"It's is but he also wants to add something else to the business. He wants to add some other firms that work with his idea."

"And what's his idea?"

"You're not gonna like it. But if you want to stay in this business you're going to have to tolerated it, son."

"Okay well what is it?" I said getting impatient.

"He wants to have more black people work for us. He wants more slaves."

"What?"
