Chapter 8

I entered the room with a forced smile ready to be shown to the business crowd that somehow supported , helped our company .

My company .

My uncle led the way to the front to introduce me which by the way was way past nerve wrecking and the people stood up as though we were royalty . If by my better judgement , we must be a pretty good company.

I wasn't very aware of the company since I've been living a life elsewhere only living off the income that I received from my company and from the one that I received at Trent's company.

Now that I'm saying this I feel like I'm a tad bit selfish . Just a tad.( a huge tad)

"Welcome everybody. I present to you the owner of the company and the daughter of this well know successful company , my brother, Anthony Washing ."I kept my smile as high as possible could when he mentioned my dad. "She hasn't been with us recently but she will more often now after I retire. Today." He said turning his head to me . I looked at him confused.

That when it hit me.

They didn't come to meet me . He gathered them to set me off with the company . He's retiring! He's leaving me with the company! Today. Without notice !

My nostrils flared up at the thought. How could he do this to me ? I just got back together with Trent as well . Now how am I going to tell him this ? How will he feel ? Will we still be together ? How am I going to manage this company ?

All these thoughts filled my head as I struggled to keep my happy posture.

Just the thought of this responsibility and Trent leaving me made me beyond miserable at the moment .

I can' t do this.

I can't have Trent leave me either.

I can't .

My life seemed to be taking its own turn without me steering it . Things are out of my control .

And I wasn't loving it .

"I present to you . Abigail Washing. " he said bracing me in a hug .

I took it not wanting to my make us look bad . A quick and low " I'm sorry " made its way to my ears as I got even more pissed.

I made a fake laugh ." I love you too."

I went up to the mic as I suddenly started rehearsing a speech that I never planned . This is just peachy.

"Uh . I'm glad your all here today to see my uncle off and I cant wait to start meeting and working with all of you from this day forth . " I took a long breath ." I will try my best to enhance this company for the greater and make the best of the years that I will be taking over ."I looked at my uncle. "Thanks to my uncle this company has made its big break and I'm glad a had this opportunity to take over this family tradition . "

They all clapped as I left the spot and rethinking the speechless that I just came up with in a matter of seconds. I internally praised myself for my speech not being so bad.

"Now. "My uncle took over ." We will have a gathering downstairs and I can't wait to meet you all and my niece as well who will company me ."

They departed .

My uncle headed towards his office as I followed." We need to talk ." I said in a high whisper.

He opened the door to his office and gestured for me to enter." Enter."

I did .

He closed the door and sat down in his chair like nothing had happened.

That just annoyed me ." What happened out there !"I asked impatiently .

"Out there ." He rubbed his temples." I spoke the truth."

My mouth gapped ." Your kidding right?! " I started I pace back and forth analyzing what just happened." So . Your saying that your Retiring and your leaving the company to me !"

"Yeah.." I glared at him." Listen. My health is becoming bad . I'm. I have-"

"Don't ." I said as rudely interrupted him and stopped my pacing . "Don't say what you think your going to say."

"You had to know . You deserved to know ."

That when my world came crashing .

I ran to him to hug him . Tears fell down my face involuntarily . " I- I can't." I was choking on my own words. "I can't lose you ."

He was the only one I had left in my family . He never married . He never had kids . It was just me and him when my parents died. He was the only one I could turn to when I had an issue and now , he was leaving me too .

I was going to be alone .

"Why !" I cried harder ." Why didn't you tell me you h-had cancer ."

He had survived cancer once and they said that it was not one hundred percent clear but he would last long enough . But I knew that it would somehow come back one day .

And today is that day .

"If I told you sooner . You would have suffered more." He rubbed the back of my head . " I'm sorry baby girl ."

I got away and looked at him with my emotion clearly written all over my face before heading out the door .

" I can't ."

I suddenly bumped into what seemed like a solid wall but it's warmth told me otherwise.

I stepped back a few step before analyzing his face once my vision finally focused .

My heart stopped.

"Trent?"
