Pure Business [Jenlisa]

Chapter 2

It's been a week ever since mom told me about the marriage thing to the heir of the Manobans. I don't mind though as long as it's not me, I don't want to get married to someone who I don't know and has that kind of behavior, as to what my mom mentioned to me earlier. And speaking of the Manobans, we are currently on our way to the company to have a meeting with them. Unfortunately, Ella and Taehyung are left alone in the house so it's just me, mom, dad, Jiyong oppa, and Mino oppa because we are the most needed in this meeting, as what my dad said.

My dad taught me and my eldest brothers about the company and the business industry on what we should know especially the people behind it. Jiyong oppa is currently the one taking in charge of the meetings, Mino oppa is the one in charge with proposals while me, I'm just being a headache to anyone. Business is really not my thing but my father said that it is in our genes or blood? I can't remember his exact words. In all honesty, Jiyong oppa didn't want this but since he's the eldest, he's supposed to take over the company, hw willingly volunteered.

He wanted something else and that is to become a record producer, he has a thing when it comes to performing and making music. While Mino oppa wanted to become an artist where he could show his talent in painting and photography. While I studied law, because that's what my mom told me to but i decided to quit and start making music though it didn't go as planned because I'm a model now of many brands especially chanel. Taehyung wanted to become a professional dancer and also photographer and for our youngest, Ella, she wanted to just live normally with a stable job of being a doctor and be happy in life. She's our youngest so there's more to it than what she wanted to become. My parents are not against to what we wanted but there has got to be someone who would sacrifice what they want to take over the company and that is not me. How many times did i say that it's not me? Because it's true. Not gonna happen.

We are now inside the meeting room waiting for the Manobans to arrive when our father spoke "Jen, don't embarrass daddy okay?" My dad reminded me for i don't know how many times because every time i would go with him in the company, i would say something to the board or to the people here that will brought embarrassment to my father. My parents told me to be honest, okay.

"And you two," He points at my older brothers.

"Yes, sir?" They asked as they turn their attention to dad.

"Don't do anything stupid, please." Our father pleaded. I laugh at how my older brothers control their laughter. This is going to be hilarious. You see, we are professionals when we are in the office, we call our dad "sir" and he would not talk to us whenever he can because he doesn't want his personal life to get in the office. But when we are at our home, i swear i have the most energetic and clown father. Maybe that's why mom and dad click with each other.

"When will they arrive?" My mom asked my dad who's busy looking at the folders in front of him. My father is sitting at the end of the table with mother by his right side and i beside my mother across from Mino oppa who is beside Jiyong oppa on the left side of our father. My father was about to reply when we heard the door being opened so we all look at it and a man on his 50's came into view with two women and one man following behind. One is in her 40's and the other is in my age or maybe younger than my age while the other man is, i think is the same as Mino oppa's age. We all stood up and bowed, greeting the each other as a sign of respect.

"Kims!" The man who entered first said with a wide smile on his face. He kinda looks familiar though, well he's a well known businessman so maybe that's why.

"Manobans!" My father spoke, giving the same vibe to Mr. Manoban. They hugged each other as if they didn't saw each other in such a long time.

"Mom, are they that close to hug each other like that?" I whispered to my mom because that's not business-like.

"Oh didn't I mentioned that the Manobans are close to our family?" She whispered back as i answered "no." While the two adults are catching up with each other, me and my mom are whispering to each other.

"Right. So your dad and Marco are bestfriends since childhood days. Your grandparents are very close to the Manobans that they've decided to have their sons as bestfriends, also their family is really close to ours but we all kept it as a secret especially the two old man." She giggled as she mentioned the two old man in front pertaining to her husband and to Mr. Manoban.

"And we didn't know it?" I asked my mom, surprised at the revelation. She looked at me.

"You don't remember the Manobans?" She asked equally surprised as i am right now. I shook my head and she was about to say something but Mr. Manoban called my name so i look at him with a small smile.

"Oh my, oh my, is that really Jenjen?" Okay, this is getting confusing. How did he know my nickname? Only my family is allowed to call me that.
"Come here, give your uncle Marco a hug" He spread his arms and about to come to me but i declined, not in a rude way.

"I'm sorry to be rude Mr. Manoban, but I can't remember being close with you." I stated the fact and looked at my mom. I turn to him and he looked at my dad who just shrugged.

"Oh well, it's been ages since we last saw each other. I understand that you didn't remember me but......" He pause and look at the blonde girl beside her mother "do you still remember my daughter, Lisa?" He asked but still looking at the blonde girl. I look at her side and saw that she's staring at me, anticipating for my answer but all i did is to shook my head as I can't remember any of them. I really do not remember them.

"I'm sorry, sir but no." I said and look at the blonde girl then to my mom, she gave me a simple nod and a smile assuring me that it's okay. My dad finally spoke.

"I bet my daughter didn't remember everything as she studied abroad and had been focusing on her studies. But it's good to see you guys again." My father smiled to the Manobans and I can't help but to question myself.

What happened back then and how come I didn't remember any of them if they know me? Do i have amnesia?
