I cannot believe my dad would betray me like that, actually I could. He did. No time for complaining though, we were heading off for that lunch. The actual meal wouldn't be until 1:30 but there were business matters to discuss before hand. "Well done"My father applauded my outfit choice, but I sat emotionless in our car. The car journey was a long and tiresome one. We're not even going out of London why is it taking so long? After waiting a lifetime for my dad to say something, our chauffeur announced we were there. I entered the large building and was following my father up the stairs but when we reached the top he said I should go.

"This is business Florence, and the Tigers business with its rivals is confidential. So go and find something else to do until 1:30". So I did. I was going to offer to help the staff that work at the building, but the Morello family are leaders, not office- block employees. Soon enough I'd be at R.S.F.A and then I will be a highly educated, well respected member of society. I could only crave the blissful moment I would step foot in the delightful place!

 I fantasised about my future whilst my dad had his meeting, until 1:30. Then some secretary got me to come to the dining hall and we all sat around the large table with a lavish meal on top of it. But the atmosphere was so tense I didn't feel particularly hungry so I just picked at the plate. "Eat some more please Florence" I didn't. "Please" I nibbled at the pate on my plate. There was more to come ..... I felt sick by now! "May I be excused for a moment?" Dad tried today no but the host said yes there was not much he could do about it. It felt nice that dad didn't have his way for once.

I stayed in the bathroom feeling ill until desert, which I politely rejected. Something was up, I just didn't know what. However, I decided not to stress over it. I had R.S.F.A to worry about!
