Lisa paced back and forth inside the hospital room as her father lay unconscious on the bed. They had been here since yesterday and the old man have yet to wake up and it worries her to no end. She sat down on the chair beside his bed as she pondered on her father’s words before the man fell unconscious.

“Lisa.. you’re taking over the company in a few weeks from now.” He smiled as he beckoned his daughter to sit on the chair on the other side of the desk.

Lisa nodded and smiled at her father.

“That’s the plan.”

“Finally, I can rest.”

Lisa nodded again.

“How are things with you and Bambam?” Her father abruptly asked, making Lisa quirk a brow at the man.

“We’re okay.. why did you asked?”

“Oh, good. And nothing, I just really like him for you.”

“But Appa, we’re just friends and I’m with Jennie. You know that.”

The man smiled before waving a hand at her daughter.

“That kind of relationship won’t last, Lisa-yah. It won’t be acceptable in our society. Especially when you become the CEO.” He said coolly, as if he had predicted his daughter’s future.

“I don’t care about what society says.” Lisa answered with a stern voice, making her father frown.

“Lisa, the company is going downhill.” He admitted with a serious tone. The one he uses when he deals with investors. “I sold three-fourths of the company to Bambam's parents..”  He trailed off, looking off to the side.

“Why would you do that?! You worked hard for that company! Appa!” Lisa didn’t mean to raise her voice but it came rather harsh as the shocking news sank in.

“I didn’t have a choice.. I will lose the company either way.” He said dejectedly. “Your Umma doesn’t know.. yet.” He added.

“Do you even plan on telling her? You always keep her in the dark.” Lisa said coldly.

“I do. I will. I’m just waiting for the right time.”

“And when is that?”

“As soon as I settle everything.” He looked up to his daughter.

Lisa held his gaze.

“I would need your help though.” He said, making Lisa arch a brow.

“I.. Bambam, he’ll be the CEO by next week.” He started, looking anywhere but Lisa. “His parents wants grandchildren..” He paused again as Lisa kept mum, brows knitting together. “I.. well, you see Lisa-yah.. they offered me.. something.”

Lisa scoffed. Of course.

“If.. if you marry him.. we will.. you will remain as the CEO while the company retains its name. if you.. marry him and bear his child.”

Lisa stood up, slamming her palms on the wooden desk.

“NO!” She yelled.

“You have to do this. For the company.”

“All you think about is your god damned company! What about me?! I’m your daughter! I have a girlfriend that I’m marrying soon!”

“This is the best for you. Do you think Jennie will stick around if you lose everything?”
