Pierce Your Heart (Jealousy book 3)

Chapter 5 : Burn the paper.

Brandon

It's been three months since Landon decided to turn down my offer to reconcile.
And today I get an Email from him saying he needs to have meeting with Dad and myself.
I've been confused since, since I have no more ties to Pierce Bankings.All I have ties to is my inheritance and shares.

Des moves up on the bed and hugs me from behind, kissing behind my ear.

"I gotta go take the boys to their swimming lessons and Rizz to her Dance class, watchu doin today?"she whispers.

I stare blankly through the window, illuminated by the rising, morning's sun.

"A Meeting, nothing too important. "I shrug.

"Well, okay, you'll be able to pick up Kyle from Adrian's house then?"

"Time?"

"Seven thirty."

The meeting is in two hours, so I'll make it back in time.

"Yea, sure babe"

She kisses the back of my neck and hop off the bed and vanishes out the room.

I can't even begin to think what Father is going to come with today.
I hope he isn't gonna ask me to join Landon in running the banks again, because he knows I won't. I need to be comfortable when I work, and Landon's off behaviour since Sarah left him aint been right.
I can relate to him in this time, and he need a friend more than ever now...
But I do recall him leaving my hand out to get chopped off when I offered it to him.

I do hope he is well though.

-later that day-

"Your mother wanted to be here, since she is a founder of the company, but she's feeling a bit under the weather." Father says, worriedly as we walk down the lobby of the head office.

We nod to the pleasantries and smiles from the people we employ.
But we were deep in conversation.

Mom is ill?

I felt uneasy all of a sudden.

"Mother, she's ill?" I say seriousness drenched in my tone.

"Err, just her migraines acting up."

Oh.Well then.

"What do you think this meeting is about?" I Sigh.

"Your brother seems to think he needs us all in the same place at the same time. ...we'll get the details im sure, son."

My brother seems to only thinks when it surrounds himself. SO, I'm assuming that this meeting has nothing to do with any of us.

As we get to the glass conference room where Landon sits with his assistant Elliot talking over his shoulder and pointing at some papers that were laid out on the table.

I open the door, and Cornwell steps in, and I follow suit.
Landon nods at both of us.

"Good morning Mr . Pierce. "Elliot nods nervously at my father.

"Yea, morning, I'll let you know if its good after this meeting."Dad snides.

Elliot seemed grazed by my father's mood and I was far too use to it to even care.

" 'Morning, to you also Mr.Pierce."He says to me, leaving the good off. At least he learns quickly.

"Ok Elliot, I'll be up in an hour, keep working on it."Landon says dismissively to Elliot and her nods to dad and I and leaves.

It was just us three now. Standing awkwardly around the sixteen seater table, at on far end, Landon at the Head, and father beside me.We stood quietly for what feels likes forever. The tention in the room was as human and tangible as it gets....
