Same day...
Seira pov
Parking my car, i noticed Sarah waiting for me by the door.
"Hello Doctor."
"Please. Right now im in a very bad mood." I shoved on my white coat and walked in with her.
"And why is that?"
"My mother. Megan!"
"Whay did she do now?"
"She wants me to get married."
"To?"
"Damon Valero."
She stopped and her mouth opened wide like her eyes.
"What?"
"That hottie! Oh my Goody God. What did you say?"
"You look like a fangirl."
"What did you say."
"I said that i will see him and..."
"And?"
"Say no."
"But why?"
"We can talk about that later."Mason approached me with a thin file indicating a new case.
"Complicated?"
"Very much. Its was because of an accident that happened two days ago. They could fix the spine but the old brain injury causing blood clotting."
"Who's the person?"
"Its a five year old boy called Reece."
"Damn."
"Yes damn."
I took the file and glanced through. There was a lot. Opening up his brain could be fatal too. Goodness.
I have to chat and refer to others.Damon pov
"Is it not possible to do an air drop. I mean this order was pretty huge and important."
We were having problems with the delivery as we had problems with shipping right now.
"Air drop can cost us millions." Dad said.
"But think about what we will receive. Its gonna' be ten times more." Leonard, the tablet designer said which was right.
"You know what? Damon, you do as what you seem fit and tell me where to sign." Dad waa tired now. This was the fifth meeting with my core team in four weeks and yet we had to finalise something.They looked at me.
"I'll think over it and tell you by the end of this week." They nodded.
Dad and i took our files and walked to his office.
His room was huge with an entire wooden polished floor with a cherrywood table and black leather chair. Pictures of him and his company partners were hung behind him and another wall was full of awards he won in his thirty two years.I took a chair opposite him and toyed with the paper weight.
"So what have you thought about it?" Dad asked sitting down.
"I think the air drop is an expensive idea but quite beneficial."
"Not that."
"Then what?" I knew what he was going to say and i wasnt prepared for it."I know that you know. Seira."
"But dad..."
"What?"
"Its just not making me comfortable. Its an arranged marriage. Very scary."
"Your mom and i had an arranged marriage and now we're very happy."
How do i tell you why i dont want to get married. My reason."Can i have some time on this?"
"Look you have time of the world, just meet her. Thats it."
Im saying no. Period.
"But why now?"
"Then when? Your mom has always been surrounded by men. Her mom couldnt give her time, her friends all busy, even her own daughter and son give her nothing. All she wants is someone close which could be Seira."When he explained, i really think that i should just see her.
Go see her Damon.
"First i want to see her picture."
I said and my dad and he smiled.
"Go home now and i will send them."Portland...
Damon pov
Back home was empty. My house. A huge glass penthouse called Valero. The foyer was huge with Calamander floorboards.It was eight pm when the house bell rang.
"Valero." I answered.
"Sir its Jess."
I opened the front to find my private caretaker in her usual skirt and top.
"Its late. You should be sleeping." I hate it when people dont sleep on time.
"Sorry Damon but Bernard told me that you were home so i thought of making something." "Really, im not hungry. You go sleep." She nodded and went back out again.Taking my coat, i lazily dragged myself to the kitchen and took out a mug. In it i put a pre-made coffee mix, sugar, boiling hot water and little milk. Sipping my way to the room, i took out my laptop and removed my shirt.
Leaning in my chair, i checked my mails. Mom, Dayana, Wes, Harley. I kept searching for some name i wasnt even sure of.
What are looking for Damon?Seira pov
When it was nine, i walked in the house to find my mum grinning and typing furiously on her phone. Dad sat and shook his head stealthily reading what she typed."Im home!"
She shot up and ran towards me throwing the phone on dad's lap. Then she threw her arms around me squeezing me in her embrace.
"Im so happy!"
"What happened?"
"Mrs. Valero called, and..."
"And?"
"Damon wants to meet you." My dad completed.
"What?" He is so desperate to get married. Im saying no.Damon pov
I stared the blank screen and stared. The past swam past through me and it all began like a film. Sighing, i shut it and flopped on my bed. It suddenly felt so lonely around here. Maybe because this couple talk was just stuck in my head.I just told mum that i wanted to meet Seira. Tomorrow.
Seira pov
Taking my clothes and wearing matching shorts and tshirt, i carried my laptop and phone downstairs to work.
He wants to meet you Seira. Oh my.
I remembered what Sarah was saying. She said he was hot. What if i became all shy and couldnt say no? Thats the problem with me. I just couldnt sit in front of confidantly without blushing once. Its so irritating.When i was working on the new case, i heard something tingle in the kitchen. Fuck.
I sat still until the noise came again, standing up i picked up a vase and walked in the kitchen."Dad?" I whispered.
He was scooping ice cream into a bowl.
"I thought you said ice cream is not good for health." I crossed my arms.
"Sometimes."We both sat in the living room and ate ice cream.
"So you ready?" He asked.
"For?"
"Marriage with Damon?"
"Im saying no." When i said that, he looked to me.
"Really. What if you like him?"
"i know i will since Sarah says he's hot but i need some generous time. So its a no. Period."We both chatted about it and he went upstairs while i worked.
