It was a chilly november evening, I was on my way back home from my father. His condition is getting worse and I can not help him in any way. My sister Rachel is living with him now and she is the one to take care of him because my brother and I have to work and my older sister has a family to take care of. My mood wasn't the best I must say...I was tapping on the steering wheel while waiting in the middle of the traffic. 'Only if it wouldn't be so damn freezing a could ride my motorbike' I preferred taking my bike instead of the car exactly for this reason. 'Nevermind'
When I finally arrived home I dropped my keys in the little bowl next to the entrance and headed to the kitchen. I prepared apple and mozarella in two bowls and flopped down on my couch to turn on the TV. I automatically stopped on the news channel. While I was still eating my phone started ringing. 'Fuck off, I just want to eat goddamnit' I thought and looked at the callers« ID. It's Rachel...no, no, no don't tell me that something happened to Dad. I picked up with shaking hands:
"H-hey Ree, what's up?"- I stuttered.
"Don't worry Anne everything's fine, I can hear that you're terrified!"- she laughed.
"It's not damn funny sis' it's easy for you, you can see that Dad's fine, besides you only call me when something bad happens or when you need something. What is it this time?"
"Neither. Dad wanted to talk to you, so this time it's not me to ask a favour from you."
"Oh I see; what can I help him with?" - My mind was full of thoughts about the datas of his testament, because usually he wants to make changes in it if he gives me a call.
"I'm gonna give him the phone, ok?"
"Sure, bye Ree!"
"Kisses sis'!"
I sat down at my desk and got a copy of the testament in my hand while I put my phone on speaker.
"Hey honey!" - it was my father's voice, the most comforting sound I have ever heard in my life...Despite it was raspy now because of the cancer it still reminded me to my childhood, when he would read stories to me before sleep.
"Hi Dad! What's up? You want to change the testament again? I don't think we can make it more exact than it alre-"
"Chill sweetie, it's not about that this time."- He said cutting my sentence in half.
"Oh, okay then... tell me how can I help you?"
"So, the thing is... I need you to travel a bit because of our new investments in Asia."
"I guess if it's Asia it's not about a „bit" of travel."- I said.
"Yeah, touché "- he laughed - "anyways the job is to go to Seoul the day after tomorrow. I need you to meet the architect of our new company block and discuss the legal circumstances of the building."
God...the same story again... I have to help out my dad because my brother found an excuse. Usually all of the company's cases would be taken care of by my brother because he has all the education to do these. He is the heir for Gods« sake! I only help GVSG (George Valentin Shareholder Group) as a part time job, I have my own cases as a lawyer at the court, but I didn't sign up for this. But how can you say no to a dying person right?
"Okay, of course Dad. Send me the details in email."- I sighed.
"Thank you sweetheart, Ree will book the flight for you 'kay?"
"Sure Dad...Take care"- I smiled.
"You too honey... and thanks for helping your brother out, he is busy with some foreign busi-"
"He is screwing some spanish girl, you mean?"- I asked sarcastically.
"Don't say things like that about Andrew, he has a lot to process these days!"- he sounded like a really biased father.
"Because I don't, right?"
"I didn't mean it tha-"
"It's okay Dad I know...whatever, just - just send me the details." - with that I pressed the „end call" button.
I stared at the ceiling as I laid on my couch. The TV was still on but I didn't pay attention to that at all. I might've been a little harsh when I spoke about my brother, but it was the truth. It wasn't the first time that I saved Andrew's ass and his company. Without me it would be a complete failure, it might sound like I'm bragging but that's the case and I won't lie about it to anyone.
My dad said that Andrew is mourning, but who is he mourning exactly? Mom? She passed away 10 years ago, and Andy is a grown up man, he is 26 for fuck's sake! Maybe he is mourning over dad, but that would be dumb, dad is still here he should be happy about that at least. My buzzing phone woke me up from my spaced out state. It was Rosie.

You know that I'm never on time! :D
It was only 6 pm so I decided to go to the gym which was in the basement of the building. I put on a black sports-bra, black leggings and my favourite workout shoes. I covered my upper body with a bomber jacket because I didn't want anyone to look at my body. Not because it was bad to look at...if you know what I mean...but I don't like it when men try to hook up with me. They just can't understand that there are women who are not interested in them. Yeah I am one of those women...and I enjoy it.
I finished working out at 8 pm so I went straight to the bathroom of my apartment and took a quick shower. I slightly shivered under the cold water but I enjoyed how it cooled down my body after the exhausting training. I dried my hair and went to the kitchen to drink a glass of milk. I always do that, because it reminds me of my mother, She always gave us milk before sleeping, and 10 years later I still can't sleep without it.
I flopped down on my king-sized bed and opened my emails. Ree sent the details and I'm shocked...I thought I'm gonna stay there for like 2-3 days but she said I must stay for 15 days... 'What the fuck I'm gonna talk about for 15 days with that freaking architect, seriously...' I noticed the caption Ree wrote under the boarding tickets:
Dad says you deserve a little vacation while you are there so...you have to meet with the guy on Friday which is the second day and after that you are free to do anything you want! I envy you sis ;) have fun!
Well that's a pleasent surprise, I haven"t been on a vacation for 4 years so it will be interesting...I heard that korean ladies are mesmerizing... Maybe I should be grateful for my brother, it might turn out as something quite relaxing.
