I lock the car as I make my way towards this all to familiar street. I make my way into the office doors, sitting down as I nod my head at Pam- The front desk lady. I wait as I play with my fingers.

7:40 pm.

I would be meeting Mr.Black for a short meeting today. Mr.Black came to the Hotel to express some bad news, but he wanted to save it for another time. The day arrives.

I bite my lips as I wait nervously not knowing what it could be about.

The Hotel seemed too good to be true in my perspective. My dad leaving me in charge and owner of one of his Hotels was a mistake. I knew it.

I knew it was not going to be uplifting news, however, I didn't realize it would be bad enough for Mr.Black himself to come out of his office and ask me to join him.

"Uh, come in." He nods to me as he smiles at others who were sat waiting in the waiting area.

Mr.Black has full control of the property. The contracts me and Bieber signed stated that the property would be under our names however still owned by Mr.Black for 7 years.

In those 7 years, he has full control of decisions made about the property.

Me and Bieber just have full control of what goes on inside the business. The 7-year contract justifies if me and Justin are fit for their company to fully hand over one of their properties and make it successful.

Looking at our case, It doesn't seem it's going so well. We haven't even had any costumers in. But bills on the property are very high.

Bieber is a businessman who probably has invested in many different companies, and father being successful as well it's likely this isn't the end of the world for the both of us.

"Alright listen, the Hotel isn't doing so well and I know you barely started but- " I cut him off.

"Mr.Black We've barely started anything, I think if you gave us some time we can start gaining profit we -" I start not being able to finish.

"I know what you're trying to say. You and Bieber are very wealthy. We all know that. But no one would be willing to pay company bills that we get from the property. No matter how much you guys pay for the business itself. Our company just can't hold up to those standards. " He states giving me a flat face.

"We just need some time, can you at least wait for the grand opening or a couple months ?" I ask frantically.

"I wasn't going to run you out of business like this. I was only informing you of the status of your business. We won't shut anything down, we can see where this will take us for now. This was just a heads up Ms.Russo." He smiles as he pushes his chair and stands up.

I stand up as well and we shake hands as I go out the door.

"I informed Mr.Bieber about it too over the phone, so don't worry about it." He smiles.

I nod my head as I walk down the street to head to the Hotel.

Tomorrow would be our grand opening, everything in the Hotel was set for tomorrow since all staff stayed late yesterday to finish it up. No one was in, now making me want to check it one last time to make sure everything is perfect.

Bieber was on a different business call in Los Angeles. He said he would be there at the grand opening tomorrow but today he needed to attend a meeting over there.

I don't know how important this business is to him, but to me, its everything. I check the gates to see they are all set up as I glance at my watch.

9:01 pm.

I head back to my car and head home. I pull up towards the building.

I make my way towards the elevator and press penthouse as the lift starts to move. I clean myself up and get in a satin bed-dress. I shower myself with the best Chinese delivery and watch stupid shit on the TV.

11:15 pm.

I sigh as my stomach feels like its bloated to the point where I look pregnant. I rubbed my eyes heading to bed. A well rested sleep is exactly what I needed.

10:30 am.

I get up from my bed my eyes still closed. I trip over the white carpet trying to make my way to the bathroom. Fuck. I limp my way, as I start rubbing my eyes sensing that maybe being able to see would result in not falling. I chuckle to myself.

I wouldn't need to head to the Hotel until the evening, leaving me time to sort out myself and get pretty before I go. Jackass should be on his way back to New York today.

Hopefully, he's on the airplane by now. I knew he would have a long day and night today, so I busy myself with papers that need reading over.I could shorten everything up and tell him myself saving him time.

The ringtone on my flip-phone hums as it vibrates on the table. I check to see Father was calling. I answer it with a sigh.

"Hello daddy. " I try to say brightly.

"Hi, baby. Listen. I'm going to make it to the grand opening after all today. " He says as he lowly chuckles, coughing at my the end.

"Are you serious??" I say slowly raising my voice in excitement.

"Yes, I had a talk with Kelly and it seems that she's fine with me going over there to visit you. She told me to go and not worry about the art show." He says.

I knew father was lying. It was clear something happened between Kelly and him. I don't hate Kelly, in fact, I think she's great. She makes father happy and that's all I can ask for. However, I knew the sad truth. He wouldn't skip something with her for me. To say I have daddy issues is correct.

"You there?" Father asks.

I break out of my thoughts as I noticed I haven't said anything yet.

"Okay, see you tonight daddy." I say as I hang up not letting him finish whatever was on his mind he had left to tell me.
