Her Way

Chapter 4- The Twist

"I know dad" I sounded pissed. I'm actually at the phone right now with my dad. It's been a while since we had a proper talk. And even if we have, it's either we're arguing at something or trying to reprimand me with the same thing he's been telling me to do since I graduated college and that is to learn how to manage the company he owns. Just like what's happening right now.

" I've been calling you a thousands of times young lady and your Aunt always tells me that your not in the house, what have you been doing?I hope your not doing some trouble out there!" My dad really knows me, he knows if I've been mischievous or doing some crazy stuffs again. I've been to a lot of trouble way back in my highschool and college days, so my dad is not new to it.
"Sam, you have to go back here in Germany and finish your masters. Your 27, people with your age, should have a life of their own, building their careers and even some has families already. You know what I'm saying? Sam if you don't want to manage the business,well that's fine but at least go back here and finish your masters and look for a husband that will continue the family's business." I've been hearing these same lines from my dad and for 3 years already. He thinks I'm not serious and is just having a good time.

" Sam,are you still there?Are you listening." He asked when he felt like I wasn't responding at all.

" Yeah, I'm still here and I hear you." I replied. I let out a heavy sigh before I continued.
" Dad I have a life and, I know your just worried about me, about my future. But you see, there are things that I'm not ready yet- for now, but let me just think of it first. And I don't care if I'll be the last single woman standing in this world without a family or a husband, having men around are just some pain in the ass, well of course except you and uncle Reynolds." I know that he's just thinking about the future of the business because I'm his only child so of course I'll get to manage the company after him. " I never said that I wont accept it but for the meantime let me just finish what I came here for, before I'll go back there in Germany. And I promise I'll finish my masters there and I would take over the company too." Yes I have already thought about it. After I get my plans done, I will permanently go back and stay there in Germany. Then I heard a slight pause from my dad. I bet he didn't imagine I had decided that already.
" Ok fine, I'll let you stay there but in one condition you have to get married at the end of this year." My mouth widen as I heard what my dad said.
" What??" I blurted out loudly.
" Wait -Let me finish , get married at the end of the year or go back here by next month." I can't believe what o just heard from him, why can't he just let me decide if my own. A month?that isn't enough to execute my plans.
" Are you forcing me to get married dad? I thought you just want me to manage the business, and as I've said I'm ok with it already. I'll manage the company just let me stay here for now but that marriage thing ,,,please don't force me cause you know I would rather get stuck in a cave for a thousand years than to marry someone just because you want me to do it." I don't want to get married, that's the least thing I would think in my entire single life.
"If you don't want, then go back here at once." I just don't understand my dad, why is he forcing me with this all of a sudden. Is he keeping something from me?
" Dad tell me honestly, are you keeping something from me?" I really find it suspicious.
" Nothing. I just want you to straighten your life. You know I'm getting older too, I just want to secure a good future for you, that's it my decision is final. Make your choice, I have to go Sam, I have a meeting at 3.00 ,bye, I love you Sam." Then he hang up the phone. I really can't believe him. I'm still dumbfounded by what he just told me. What should I do, I can't go back yet neither get married at the end of the year. Gosh this worrying is killing me.

" So what's your plan?" Diana asked after taking a bite on her blueberry muffins. We're at one of the Cafe's here at St. Lousill.
" Should I be the one asking you that instead, I called you here so that you could help me think of a solution to my problem." I said with a bitchy tone, I'm sitting right in front of her, crosslegged calmly taking a sip on my brewed coffee. "
" You know what your problem is just so easy. If your dad wanted you to get married ,then give it to him. All you have to do is look for a guy who wants to marry you." Diana said mumbling while her mouth was full of the muffins she was eating.
" Can you please finish that first " I pointed at her mouth while looking at her with disgust. Then she swallowed it all.
" What I'm saying is you could hire someone to make your dad believe that you have someone you like here and your planning to get marry at the end of the year." I have already thought about that idea too.
" I know a lot of guys would definitely die to be your boyfriend. So finding one won't be so hard after all." She added.
" My dad knows me, he won't believe it if I just took and hire some random guys out there. " I told her.
" Then tell me what are your boyfriend-material-qualifications?." Well I had a lot of boyfriends in the past mostly are business men and some are famous models but we only lasted for a month or two. Honestly I don't really treat them as boyfriends, I would like to think them more as a puppet, a toy or maybe a poon for things I wanted to get.
" Do you like guys who are awesomely handsome, with a freakin tempting Adonis body that even older hags would kill to bed him ? Oh..and is also damn rich?" Diana just asked.
" Do you think you could find someone like that in here? Ever since I came here I never saw --" I was cut talking when He passed right in front of us. Damn even his smell is so manly. I can't resist not to stare at him. I think all the ladies inside that cafe including some men, were snatched by this man. It was Simond, I got back to my senses when he took a glimpse to look at me. I didn't expect he would look at me so I immediately turned to look on the other side. Damn I really hate it, I get off guard suddenly, everytime our eyes met.
He walked straight pass into us and went to the bar counter and ordered some kind of a drink.
