-next week.
"hey sweetheart, you ready?" dad ask, knocking on the door.
"yea, ill be downstairs in a sec!" i replied and check myself out.
dad handed me a dress and told me to wear it. and to be honest, this dress makes me confident abt my body.
i then wore some heels and walked downstairs after i slung my sling bag over my shoulder.
as i approach the kitchen, loren came and squels and hypes me up which made me smile.
"ready?" dad ask.
"yea, almost!" i spoke and continued drinking my hot latte. i then went to the sink and put and wash my glass.
i then walked inside my dad's car bc it was unlock. and he gets in after kissing mom goodbye.
he starts the engine and starts driving off after i buckle up.
"who are you going to have this meeting with?" i ask.
"with 'B enterprise'" he replied which made me raise my brows.
" 'B enterprise?'" i question.
"its short for the actual enterprise's title" he respond which made me nod slowly.
"what abt your enterprise? what is it called?" i ask.
" 'H enterprise' " he mutter back and focus on the road.
"H stands for...?" i trail off, cluelessly.
"hilton" he replied which made me nod.
soon enough we arrived at a building and he stopped driving. he then unbuckle his seatbelt and i unbuckled mine.
we both then got out of the car and he locked the car and then walked in first so i just followed along.
i followed silently behind him as i received stares from people. not deadly or mean stares, just regular staring.
we then walked in the elevator.
"hey dad, is this your company?" i ask.
"no, this is 'B enterprise', the company we're going to have the meeting with" he replied then cleared his throat as the elevator opened.
he then went to a seat and i just followed along and sat beside him.
"he will be here shortly" a female worker spoke then served us by pouring in some sparkling water in these fancy glasses on the rectangular loooooooong table.
then someone barge in and my dad quickly smiled, "louis"
"arnold" that guy replied then sat down.
"lets start the meeting, shall we?" 'louis' said and my dad nods.
abt 20-30 minutes passed and i got hella bored. i sigh and slid out my phone from my bag.
i mean- im not trying to be rude or anything, but theres no hella way im going to spend another minute, only sitting my butt out.
my dad and louis didnt mind and they talked abt subject by subject.
"i dont think ruining those building in new zealands and build new ones in spain is necessary" my dad said.
"what else can we do? we've been going on meetings for months now and we're losing money. either we destroy the buildings in new zealands and build new ones in spain or this partnership is done" louis replied, rudely.
ROOD ASS.
"fine, when are they going to destroy those buildings?" dad ask.
"maybe next week" louis replied.
my dad's brows furrowed, "thats not enough time, what abt the documents then?"
"the workers have to move them quickly then or they'll get fired" louis answered.
they kept argueing and talking abt this project thing.
im really tired of hearing them.
i then took a sip of the sparkling water and continued browsing through my phone.
"okay, i think its enough for today" dad mutter and louis nods and 2 male workers takes the files on the table away, which made me slid my phone back in my bag.
"who is this by the way?" louis narrows his eyes at me.
"oh, this is my daughter, hailey" dad introduced.
i smiled, "nice to meet you, mr..."
"call me louis" he spoke, flashing a small smile.
i nod.
"how is jen, by the way?" dad said.
"shes doing fine, along with the girls" louis replied.
"hows your sons?" dad ask.
"my half sons are doing just fine. theyre actually in the country at the moment but my 2nd son is currently in UK to take care of our UK enterprise there" louis answers.
i nod then my dad excuse himself and goes to the toilet.
"how old is your second son?" i ask.
"hes actually 17 but i told him to quit school and follow our family steps, but he kept refusing to. but i made him go to UK eventually. what abt you? how old are you?" louis said. "im 16" i respond.
"my son was supposed to leave to UK when he was 16 but bc of being a disappointment he is, he moved here and leave us whilst we were in asia, and he decided to continue his studies" louis mutters then rubs his temples.
ive never known a person thats more straightforward than he is.
"but i hope you wont be a disappointment like my son and make your father proud unlike my joseph" louis said.
"joseph?" i mumbled under my breath.
"joseph birlem" he said.
my eyes widen then he ask, "why do you seem so startle by his name? do you know him?" louis ask.
"yea, we actually go to the same school but we're not in the same grades" i answer.
"i see.... i dont get why he wants to go to school when he can just follow after my footsteps. i cant believe hes going to be the next birlem to take care of our UK B enterprise...." he spoke.
"why?" i ask.
"..hes a disgrace to the family. and i know that our business is going to go downhill when hes taking over the UK B enterprise" he said.
"but thank the lord that lexi is there to help him" he continued.
