Heiress

Chapter 16

Savier
Why isn't she calling me? It's been days!

I took out my phone so I could call her. I miss her badly. She's been so busy these past few days.

"Sir, Your mom is on the phone again." Tasha said. She wasn't looking directly at me. We've been  this awkwards since "that AC Unit issue" happened. I wanted to fire her but Mom pleaded me not to. Well, she was a great assistant after all.

I placed my phone down. Geez, she's been bugging me for days. She wants me to introduce Venice to Dad.

I sighed. I really wanted to, but I don't think Venice would agree to it. She doesn't want our relationship to be known by the public. She doesn't even want us to post our picture on instagram! Sometimes I can't stop worrying, what if she doesn't really like me that's why she doesn't want us to be known? What if I assumed wrongly? She, herself told me that she doesn't know and understand what she's feeling. Geez! It's stressing me out. I hope I'm just overthinking.

"Son, when are you going to--"

"Mom, please. Not now. " I told her. I heard her sigh.

"But son, you're not getting any younger and WE are too. We just want to see you get married before we die." she said.

"But I am married." I wanted to say.

"I know, mom. But please not now, I don't want to pressure Venice." I told her.

"Alright, alright. I loose. But I just wanted you to know that your Dad isn't that convinced about your new relationship. He wanted you to meet his colleague's daughter instead so you better be bringing her to him so he could stop his plan. " Mom explained.

"What?!" I blurted out.

"Yes, son. So you better start begging Venice to come here or else your dad would marry you off to someone else." That made me fall into a complete silence.

"Son, I'll hang up now. Have a great day and don't forget to tell Venice I miss her okay? Love you! Bye!" she said before hanging up. She really likes Venice. 

I massage my nape. "This is too stressing."

"If we are able to meet with our target---" My phone started ringing while I was practicing my presentation. It was from an unknown number. I rejected it.

I have no time to waste.

I am so pressured right now. I barely have time for myself.. I used up every second I have to review and improve my proposal.
I want to make them proud.
"If we reach our target for the half quarter, then our stocks would gr---" my phone ringed again. Due to my frustration I picked it up. 

"Yes?!" I was still controlling my temper. This should be worth my time or else....

"Hello, this is from ****Resto. We would like to ask if you're still coming? You date was here for hours and----" oh shoot!

I look at my planner. It's April 6th! I promised Sav that I'll be with him on his Birthday! I haven't even bought anything for him. How foolish of me!

It's already 11:45. There's only 15 minutes left until his birthday ends. Gosh! Why did I even forget it?!

I took all my things in just a snap and drove to the place. I was praying so hard that I still catch him there.

"Please stay there... Please be there..." i mumbled to myself.

It took me 20 minutes to reach the place. It was quite far from our place.
I went out of my car, straight inside the resto but....
