Chapter 17: A feast for the eyes

Sam's POV

I was sitting inside the car now as it headed towards THE headquarters. Yes, I've already arrived from London, but mom had a little errand for me to do.

I was getting comfortable in bed when I heard my phone rang. The plane was already airborne, and I wonder why mom was calling me.

"Hey pup, I have a favour to make" I frowned and sat up from my bed. She rarely asks favours.

"What is it?" a bit confused.

"Some investors will be coming in LA, and they wanted to talk about some business prospects", she started.

"And your point?"

"I couldn't make it there in time because the Russian sector had a problem", she explained.

"Can't you have some from there to talk?" I asked in frustration. "I still have my classes in case you forgot", I pointed out. I heard her sigh deeply.

"As much as I'd wanted to, they're not as competent enough as you. Mia would be there to support you. The meeting will be held first thing in the morning. I believe you could still catch up with your next class after that," she said before hanging up. I groaned loudly before dropping myself on the bed in exhaustion. This is why I'm not too fond of desk jobs.

I've already finished reading the papers regarding their company, and I never thought that mom was already working in the field of aviation. She's thinking of expanding, I guess. As soon as the car stopped in front, I saw Mia standing by the door. Luckily it was a breakfast meeting, so I get to fill my stomach while doing the job. Mia greeted me with a small smile and informed me that the investors were already waiting for me at my office. Both of us got inside the elevator along with the two bodyguards.

"The table was prepared inside your office along with the food. I know you haven't taken as I was informed" Mia looked at me worriedly. I gave her a small smile of thanks.

"Thank you. Just pray that I'll get along with these businessmen," I said as I got off from the elevator and walked towards the office. Mia followed in suit.

"Correction. It's businesswomen," she pointed out. This got me surprised. "Your mother isn't fond of these siblings, so she decided to let them meet you instead. She told me that you're quite a charmer," she said in a bit of confusion. I smirked. As we faced the doors, one of the bodyguards opened the door for me.

There I saw two gorgeous women in front of me. One was sitting on the chair near the table with blue eyes and dark brown locks neatly braided in a fishtail. She was wearing a white turtle neck dress and, over it, a black coat. In her feet were black platforms that complimented well on her almost pale skin. The other woman I assumed to be her sibling looked at the books laid on the case. She has hazel eyes and hair, almost like her sister's but in a lighter tone. Her white thick strap dress flowed freely an inch above her knee, but a thick black belt was strapped along her tiny waist that gives away how fit she is.

Both of them were staring back at me, probably thinking of who it was. When they saw Mia walking beside me, the one sitting on the chair talked to her.

"Mia, when is Rin coming?" Mia nervously looked at me. Probably not yet informed of the matters.

"About that-"
