Simon Cowell's Daughter

Chapter 19 Management

Simon POV :

Today was a day full of work. Just me working on my computer, reading e-mails, signing documents and checking updates for the boys.

"Hey Simon." I look up from my computer and see Ariel standing at the door way.

"Ariel. Come in . Do you need anything?" I ask her, putting a side whatever I was doing. She walks in and comes closer.

"I was just checking up on you. So ... what are you up to?" She looks at my desk seeing papers cluttered everywhere.

"Well I'm just working and checking on things." She picks up a paper and reads it.

"So pretty much you are looking over deals for expansion." She says going over the paper.

"Yes. There is a deal with Mr.Rodgers for expansion on a hotel and he needs a partner. I need to go over the contract one more time before I agree and start a partnership  with him." I explain to her my plan.

She nods and sits on a chair across from my desk.

"So how long have you been taking over your father's company?" She asks me with curiosity written all over her face.

"Well I have been taking over my father's company for the last 10 years. Being the manager for One Direction is 2 years."

She nods and traces her fingers on the desk.

"Is everything okay Ariel?" I grab her hand with concern.

"Did you ever fall in love with another person or had a relationship with a woman after my mother?" She askslooking at me, waiting for an answer.

"I never thought of having another relationship with any other woman. You and your mother was and still is always on my mind 24/7. The both of you are my life. One day, when it's time for me to step down I want you to take over everything. If you are up for it Ariel. I would never force you to do anything. But it would be great if you would because this would be three generations of Cowells taking over the company. Not only the company but also the management for bands in the future for Capitol Records."

By the look of her face she was trying to soak everything in. "Wow. This is a lot to take in Simon . I mean maybe in the future I would love to but I need to think about it." Ariel looks worried about what I said.

"You don't have to worry about it now. It would be a long time before I step down. And if you ever thought in the future you would like to take over I would make sure you're ready." I try to assure her. All Ariel does is nod.

Ring...Ring....Ring....

" I just need to take this phone call very quick Ariel and we will continue with our talk."  She nods again and goes to the other side of the room to give some space.

Simon: Hello

Management : Hi Simon. We need to talk to you and the boys about the tour. Have you told any of the boys yet?

Simon : No not yet but I was going to tell them today.

Management : No need. Today we will just come over to talk to the boys and you about the U.S.A Tour.

Simon : Yes. Of course. You can come around 3:00 pm and we can talk in my office.

Management : Okay 3:00 pm it is. See you then.

Simon : Goodbye.

I end the call and see Ariel looking around the office. Mostly the photos hanging on the wall. I get up and look right behind her.
