Chapter 5

'Beep Beep Beep!', the alarm clock beams with an annoying sound, i groan as i managed to find the alarm clock and stop that disturbing sound,even though its a frikin saturday, i rose from the bed and walked stright to the kitchen.

"Goodmorning honey", says dad as he reads his morning newspaper. "Goodmorning honey", "Goodmorning mom, Goodmorning dad", I yawned.

"We are leaving in about an hour honey, so eat these and get ready soon, I've laid out your attire for the day", she winks.

"Where's jacob?", I ask looking arround me and feeling void of that cold seat next to me. Dont tell me he left already. "He said he will come pick you up honey, you should have seen his pout knowing you are not joining the early morning ride", sadness dwell in me for not being able to be a part of the whole journey but I'd join them soon so its fine by me.

I ate up the bacon and toast and walked straight into shower, coming out with a towel wrapped arround me body, I sat near the mirror and did my makeup and hair that is light pink lipstick and mascara, and light waves for my hair, I got in what mom had laid out.

It was a tight navy blue skirt with a light pink blouse and navy blue coat, i walked down the stairs with pride of the heel clacking aware of every step i take with the 3 inch black heel.

We walked out of the house and got in to the car, with mom in the passenger seat, dad in the drivers seat and me in the back.

We drove for 15 minutes, and we parked the car at the garage of our company, we walked towards the entrance with everyone greeting us, it has been quite some time when i came here since the last time.

I knew we had work at the company but what sort of work did require my presence? That question kept ringing in my mind for what seems like ever since mom said I had to come here.

We got in the lift and went to floor number 52, where the main office is for the ceo and practically its like a penthouse in one side and on the other the big office for meetings.

Dad opened the office door and went in mom as I followed next,
A woman close to my mom's age greeted me with a smile and so did a man, where have I seen them before? Then I saw him, and my eyes widen in shock.

His jaw clenched as he kept his gaze at me with anger or pride, why?. What was he doing here? What is Aron doing here?. Then it clicked. These are his parents. Basically what the hell are we all doing here?

They shook hands as mom started to introduce them, "Honey this is Mrs.Jade and Mr. Brown, and this is Aron", oh like i dont know, but i smile instead.

She extends her arm which i returned the gesture and so did Mr.Brown.
Aron just looked at a distance his jaw still clenched, i felt sad for not being able to even look at me. I smiled at him, not to cause any repercussion between the parents.

We all took our seats, me, dad and mom on one side of the table and Aron, his dad and mom on the other side. His jaw still clenched, damn that is hot, my body feels tingly. Now for the one reason I have been dreading to hear. Why am I here.

"Honey, as I've told you about the merge of our company and the stairway", no shit, please dont tell me what I'm thinking. "The hotel belongs to them", fuck.

"So Mr.Brown here, thinks its best for everyone here to get along, specially", she looks at me " you and Aron". No fucking way.

He looked away, Is this some sort of joke? Crooking his eyebrows, he stood up and so did I. Are they actually going to think I'm some sort of business puppet.

The parents watched us in horror unable to comprehend whats going on. "Mom I'd like to talk to for a second. In. Private", i lowered my voice.

As soon as she came out with me and closed the door behind her, i turned back. "Mom what was that?". "I know honey, i just want you to have a secure life, and Aron, he seems like a good kid". Not even close.
