Money Power Glory (Lena x G!P Reader)

Ch 11. The Unexpected Family Meeting

Notes: Short chapter but more to come! I'm finally done with finals!! :) 

-------------------------

Location: Lunar Industries - 12:45AM

At the conference room with dimmed lights, (Y/N) sits in the head chair and rocks the chair slightly back and forth. She was slouching with her legs crossed and hands on her lap. She was patiently waiting for her guests to come but deep inside she wants to go home and rest. Anthony and Robert are standing by their boss' side while the two assistants sit next to her, side by side.

"Everyone from the gala has already left. The cleaning crew are already cleaning up the mess." Sarah says.

"Your family members are already on their way up here" Sophia adds on.

(Y/N) only nods at them and sips on her glass of poison again. The CEO is a heavy drinker but the alcohol doesn't seem to affect her one bit unless she continues to drink the night away.

(Y/N) POV

The door suddenly opens with 3 people pouring inside. My aunt and my two uncles stride in with pride with the similar military uniforms they were wearing. I stood up and saluted them with a great amount of respect. My two uncles, Ruel and Wilson, they're Major Generals of the army but my aunt Ruth is one of the Commanders of the Navy. Even though I'm just a lieutenant of the Navy, they saluted back with the same respect and took a seat across me.

"How are you my dear niece? Did the event turn out fine?" Uncle Ruel starts out the conversation.

I sit up straight and clear out my throat. "I'm doing very well, General. The event turned out to be a success. Is there a reason why you people decided to come here?"

Aunt Ruth shifts into her seat, "Child, we came here to check on you. You left your military life so suddenly and taking on this position could be tiresome. We want to see if you're settling well in the area. Nothing more."

"Please, (Y/N). Drop the formalities. We are not in the public eye. Besides, your aunt is right. We were also worried that some distractions might come up." My uncle Wilson says.

"Thank you for your concerns. I can assure you that I'm not distracted whatsoever. Lunar Industries will be back on the top once again."

"The White House is wondering if you're willing to make deals about certain projects in the future." Uncle Ruel brings the attention back to him.

So this is why they're here. Not surprising.

"To be honest, Uncle. I do not know. I'm not ready to make deals to the people who betrayed my parents nor I feel ready to create such projects. I am willing to communicate. Keep in mind that I am not willing to move our country forward that will get ourselves into a civil war for unnecessary reasons. . ."

Aunt Ruth and Uncle Wilson didn't say a word but were content on the answer I gave. Uncle Ruel seems to tense up. Eye to eye we silently argued. Oh if only looks could kill.

The general stood up to his feet, "Very well. When you feel ready . . . Don't hesitate to contact me. Take care, my dear niece. I expect a lot of success for the company in the near future."

He left along with uncle Wilson while aunt Ruth stayed behind to say a few words. I stood up and met her halfway to embrace a comforting hug from the female commander.

"You're doing well, lieutenant. You look very sharp as well but where's your jacket with this outfit?"

Ah crap. Lena has my suit jacket.

"What happened to dropping the formalities. My jacket? Well. I got rid of it a while ago. It was . . . uncomfortable to wear the whole time" I say nonchalantly.

"Well. It's nice seeing you again, sweetheart. Please be careful. Your parents told me to keep an eye on you whenever I get the chance. I need to leave now." She places a quick kiss on my cheek. "Stay out of trouble!" Then she walks out of the door.

I look back at the people still remaining in the room. "Let's go, people. I'm sure we all want to go home now. Robert, please escort Ms. Hernandez to her home."

"Miss Bennett, do you mind going home with me?"
