Part 10

"You're bloated", a middle aged woman told Christine as she trying to help her for breakfast at their manor house

"I drunk some wine on Frida's last night", Tin replied

"You're bone structure were as big as you father's you should look on your eating proportion"

Tin rolled her eyes when she turned her back on the woman, "I'm looking at my weight mom"

"And you're bags keeps getting heavier. You want to battle Prada?", her mother asked pertaining to her eyes

"Mom, there's a job that I needed to do that's why I'm sleep starve these few days", Tin explained

"I told you to come aboard on your father's company. You don't need to work your ass there", her mother said

Margaret Thomas, her mother, was her major critic ever since she was young. She was a retired Johnson supermodel even at small height of 5'7 compared to the standard in their industry. Tin should be thankful though for she got her sleepy grey eyes and golden blonde locks but she was not as thin as her mother not even as tall as her.

Sometimes she thought she wants to be an astronaut to stretch her 5'4 frame a little bit more.

"Cut the girl some slack, she can do whatever she wants, good morning bombshell!", her father, Christopher Thomas greeted her. He carries Charlie at his right side when he entered the kitchen

"Mommy, grandpa said we can go to the mall and eat some ice cream!", Charlie said excitedly

"That would be nice but you should climb down at that old tree he can't carry you that much anymore", Tin said softly while getting Charlie. She kissed her father on his cheeks, "Good morning dad"

"Don't listen to your mom", he whispered

"I'm just saying she have a lot of future in your company rather than having Charlie wait for her when is she turning back home every night. Your son needs a mother, Christine"

"I have a flexible time in my company, mom, I just had a few rush at the office this week"

"At you father's company you can just let someone do the job for you", said Margaret

"I want to design building more than two storey houses or mid rise condo, mom", she turned to his father looking apologetic. "Sorry dad but that's what you always do"

Her father nodded as he gulped some water, "I tell you it's alright. You can do whatever you want"

"And leave the company at the hands of your cousin?", Margaret asked, "Even your son doesn't like to get involve! That company is our bread and butter. The company that sent you to your school"

"Maybe someone from grandchildren want to get involve someday," her father shrugged. "For now I trust Don to do the job"

"From the rate of your children's reproductive factories",  Margaret said trying to cover Charlie's head, "you're just expecting grandchild not grandchildren"

Her father laugh at that statement, "I'm expecting Carl to do the works for me"

"What's resodative grandma?", Charlie asked

"Something taller people do my little one", her mother said mildly and looked again at her father, "Carl's 32 already. When does he getting married? Susan's getting older by the year and your only daughter is turning thirty next year"

"They already broke up mom, remember?", Tin told her mom. Susan was Carl's girlfriend of so many years. They broke up because the woman wants to train at Paris for too long and doesn't believe in long distance relationships. It took almost a year for her brother to moved on. Or so he said since they are still seeing each other now that Susan's back and they are business partners still. Carl owned a restaurant at Brinson's and on the process of opening a new one with Susan's help. Her mother never been happy seeing Susan again, of course she's platinum blonde, beautiful, sexy, model material, a daughter her mother wants unlike her

"There's still a chance, they're working together. Although I doubt Susan's ability to have a child when I see those hips, agh", her mother said

"Carl's turning up today?", asked Tin

"You know your brother, he's workaholic. Always in his kitchen if he's in town", her father shrugged, "I just come there if I needed someone to talk to more than shopping issues". Her father shared laughing earning a glare from her mother. Sometimes she doesn't know what her father saw in her mother but she is to complain?

"Or if you want to cheat on fishes and vegetables here", said Margaret crossing her arms

"I want to know survey results by Monday. The product has been standing on grocery shelves since last year but it's share on the market doesn't turned up as I want it to be. I want to know why", Luke told his project director on the line. Yes it was Sunday but he wants to work as he was trying to forget a sleepy grey eyes. In addition, Christmas is fast approaching. It's that time of the year that women shop more than what they need due to bonuses and company benefits. Their consumer products are for the whole family, specifically for the babies and toddlers but women mostly decides which is which to buy those stuffs. Baby products were safe for women's skin in general, and they are the mothers who decides everything for their children

Shuffling sounds came from his room, she's awake, he thought. "Again, I need that on Monday and I am expecting your solution nonetheless"

Two slender arms folded at his waist from behind him

"Angst in the morning? That's not my plan last night when I worked it out with you", a seductive voice said

"These people needs constant reminders to why I hired them", Luke replied still frowning

"On a Sunday Morning? What gives?"

He stand at kitchen stool where he located getting off the girl's arm in the process, "I don't relaxed even on holidays and I'm not happy with my quarterly report." He pretended take a water in the fridge to drink

"I told you to get me as your endorser, I only need some TLC on the bed as a fee", she winked

"Trixie, you know I don't mix work with personal things", not anymore, he wants to add. Trixie is one of the newest IT girl in tinsel town and his on and off bed partners for months now. "Aren't you have any schedules today?"

"I'm the newest It girl, haven't you heared? All clamors my attendance and I want to enjoy it. Let them wait for me to grace my presence", she wriggled her eyebrows

"Care to join me in your bed again?", she said as she turned back to his room with his polo shirt on her.

He smirked and followed the girl

"This will do"
