ZARA'S POV
I walk into my parents house and everyone is already here. They're all sitting around in the living room so I walk over to join them. I look to my left and see:
"Jeremy? Brandon? What are you two doing here?"
"Uncle 'lonso and auntie Ella thought we should be here."
I nod.
"Well it's good seeing you two." I walk over to hug them then sit next to them on the couch.
"So, I guess we should just get right into why we're all here." My dad says.
I look over at my mom and she already looks nervous.
"As I've told you all already, I feel that once Alonso retires that he should hand everything over to the girls. Keep it in the family." Granddad says.
"Alonso, what do you think about this?" Mom asks him.
"From a business standpoint, I think that it's a great idea... a smart idea. But, as their father, I'm not so sure. I've seen firsthand what it's like and although I think my daughters are smart enough and strong enough to handle it... as their father, I don't want them to have to handle it." He explains.
"I agree. It's a smart business move but as their uncle, it feels wrong." Marcelle adds.
"Even if they did go through with it, it would take a while to train them enough to be ready to handle the business completely on their own." Mom says.
Everyone starts talking all at once. I'm not even sure if they're listening to each other. Jeremy stands up.
"Ayyyyy!! Relax!!" He tells out.
Everyone gets quiet.
"Maybe the people we need to hear from are Zara and Rosa... I mean, all of this is about them, right?" He continues.
