My Destiny (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 5

    Beth's POV

        It's already 5o'clock in the afternoon when I receive a text message from Clark saying that I should meet him in the lobby. I started to pack my things and head towards the elevator my office is at the 40th floor of the building while his office is at the 45th floor well my first day is not that bad all I did was to read the reports and check the important documents needed for a construction. As I step out of the elevator I've seen Clark tapping his foot maybe he's doing that when he's bored Hey! I shouted at him. "What took you so long" he said. Wow that was just 5 minutes then you complain too much? I said "Time is gold, Let's go" he said. Ugghh this guy, it's so hard to read his mind I just followed him to his car, where are we going I ask. "To meet our parents" He said, Okay I think I know now how to avenge him I just let out a laugh then he just look at me "what?!" he said. Nothing I think I would be having a great night I said. He just continue driving I turn on the radio to break the silence I listen to a classical music he didn't even react so it seems he's enjoying too. After a long drive we arrive at a house, it was like a mansion there was a gate half mile before you could reach the house, the garden was full of different colored flower and there was a fountain in the centre of it. Even though it is dark I can still see the beauty of the garden because there was a light in the side of the roads.

       I was gonna open the door when an old man opened it for me, I can't believe 3 maids were outside waiting for us it was like they were waiting for their master, Oh well they must be waiting for Clark's arrival. As I went out of the car an old lady came and hugged me so tight it must be his mother Mrs Handson. Hello mom I said, as she hear me call her mom I've seen her teary Uhh it is okay to call you mom? I ask "Sure honey I love it" she said maybe I reminded her of her daughter but I wanna make her happy so let me just call her mom atleast I am having now a family here in Japan. As we enter the house she was still clinging into my arm seems like she was afraid for me to be away from her. I was so much astonished by the house because as we enter there was a chandelier hanging on the ceiling. The house was modern but the furniture was antiques. Mom the house was beautiful I said to Mrs Handson "Yes honey it is" she said "Do you want to leave here?" she ask. Well mom that's cool but how dare I stay with you I said "no it's okay dear the house was empty so we would like to have someone that energizes the house" she said. We now arrive at the dining area, the table was rectangular it consist of 7 chairs. "Take your seat Beth" Mrs Handson said, How did you know my name mom? I ask. "Clark told us about you" she said. Ahh I just react then as I look at Clark he was just smiling. We are now on our seat when Mr Jacob Handson arrive I stand to greet him, he came near and embraces me, it's weird for me because Mrs Andrea hugged me too but anyways I loved it. We now took our seat, Mr Jacob seated in the centre, Mrs Andrea and me near him and Clark beside me.

       The maids serves the food well it's all Japanese dishes, as we eat I started to talk to lighten the atmosphere mom you know Anisi was treating me unreasonable I said to Mrs Handson "What did he do to you?"she ask. When we ate at a restaurant he doesn't pay the meal and he let me was the dishes mom my hand ached after washing for 3 hours I said to Mrs Handson. "He did that to you?" she ask. Yes mom he is a jerk I said. "Clark next time you do that to Beth we have a business to do" said Mr Jacob. Thanks dad I said to him and he just smile. I tell a lot of stories to the family about my experience when I was still in college, I tell jokes and they laugh so hard except for Clark.

Clark's POV

       When we arrive at the Villa mom was there to meet us I can't believe she was now close with Beth she even hugs her as well as dad. We are having dinner when Beth talk about what happen to us at the restaurant "Clark next time you do that to Beth we have a business to do" dad said. uggh Beth why did you tell that to dad I whisper to her but she didn't say a word she keeps on laughing and telling jokes. This time I know that dad won't let me handle the company easily. The dinner was great but I can't forget what dad said Ughh how I wish I didn't let Beth come here but to see my parents happy makes me happy.

Beth's POV

       Clark should be happy having wealth like these I said to the couple "Well yes he gets whatever he wanted" his dad said. "But when I was in grade school dad doesn't buy me a play station" Clark said. "I don't want you to have one because it might affect your grade" Mr Handson said. That was absurd I said don't be a spoil brat I added then we all laugh "Yes he is a spoil one" said her mother. The dinner ended then I need to bid goodbye to them. "can't you stay for the night?" Mrs handson ask. Sorry mom I can't "well that's sad" she said but I'll come every weekend I said. Okay take care drive safely! Mr Handson said.
