New Horizon

Chapter 38

"MARSHA!" Gabriel said
"What is it, Gabriel?" Marsha asked
"What is it?! You're really asking me that question right now?!" Gabriel exclaimed
"Yes, because I don't know why you're here," Marsha said
"I'm here to talk about Mei's wedding, she doesn't want to have it and your forcing it!" Gabriel said
"Well, that is what an arranged marriage is right?" Marsha said
"Yes, that is what an arranged is but still I know she said something to you about it!" Gabriel said
"Yes, she did but still she is our only child and she needs to take the role of a Hua and expand the companies," Marsha said
"Yes I know that but she needs happiness too plus if she doesn't want to do it then you shouldn't force her too!" Gabriel said
"She is happy!" Marsha said
"No, she isn't! You never take the time to hang out with her or even ask her how she's doing and you can't even tell how she feels AND you sent her to live with your friend and her daughter! How can you be that ignoring?!" Gabriel said
"Well, ever since she's been there she's been happy! And I "sent" her there because I'm very busy, I also don't want her living by her self or with other family or her grandparents," Marsha said

Of course, she's happy there shes living with her girlfriend!

"Ok, true but who is she even marring?!" Gabriel asked
"That is non of your business," Marsha said
"Yes, it is she is my daughter, not just yours!" Gabriel said
"Yes, I know she is your daughter too but you have no business in knowing because you don't need to know," Marsha said
"Yes, I do need to know!" Gabriel said
"I'll send you an invitation to the wedding if both families agree and if we don't I'll tell you who the family was," Marsha said
"No! Tell me now!" Gabriel said
"No, you get those options only," Marsha said
"Ugh ok fine but if they don't agree are you still going to find another family?!" Gabriel asked
"Of course I am and won't stop until I do find a family, " Marsha said
"You are literally insane! Do you not care how she feels!?" Gabriel asked
"Yes, I do care how she feels but I am not letting her marry someone else who wants her for the money!" Marsha said

HA Money?! Athena loves my daughter for who she is not for the fucking money!

"So you want her to marry another family that already has one so they don't love her for the money we have now?!" Gabriel asked
"Yes," Marsha said
"BUT, WE ARE THE RICHEST FAMILY HERE!" Gabriel said
"Yes, I know that but I'm looking for a family to help expand our companies," Marsha said
"Ugh you are extremely ignorant I swear!" Gabriel said
"Then get out- scratch that get out of my office right now," Marsha said
"I OWN THIS COMPANY AND HELP IT MORE THAN YOU DO SO DON'T GIVE ME ORDERS!" Gabriel exclaimed
"I KNOW IT'S YOUR COMPANY BUT WITHOUT ME IT WOULDN'T BE WHERE IT'S AT!" Marsha exclaimed
"UGH FINE I'LL LEAVE BUT THIS IS FAR FROM OVER!" Gabriel said storming out of Marsha's office

"UGH, this isn't over I will not give up!" Gabriel said in his car

"Thank you for coming, Ms. Hua," Brian said
"It's a pleasure to be here," Marsha said
"That's good to hear, now let's get to the subject at hand. Layla and Meis wedding," Brian said
"Yes, I think Layla is a good match for Mei because they have known each other for a long time and because of this I trust that you have good intentions to expand our companies and not just for monetary gain," Marsha said
"Oh yes, very much so. I agree they have been friends since childhood, we also have the intention to build our company and to expand it. So I feel that both of our girls can do that," Karen said
"Agreed, anyways, if we do decide to have them marry I don't think that we need an ice breaker," Marsha suggested
"Agreed, also, yes, both of our girls are Bi, well Layla is lesbian but you know what I mean so that is another plus," Brian said
"Yes, I know what you mean and yes I agree, they don't need to romanticly love each other they just have to act it in public. I also think that they would work very well together since they are best friends in all." Marsha said
"Yes, it is no problem they do not need to be romantic with each other only in the public eye and I completely agree that they would make our companies thrive once they work together," Karen said
"I agree. Is there anything else that we need to agree on before making a final decision?" Marsha asked
"Hmmm, no I don't think so. So, do you agree with how things will be like once they both marry?" Asked Brian
"Yes, I agree with everything," Marsha said
"Great, when should the wedding be then?" Brian asked
"Well because we are all so busy I think the wedding should be in three to four months," Marsha said
"Alright, three to four months it is then. We'll inform Layla." Brian said
"Alright, I'll inform Mei then. Thank you again for the meeting," Marsha said
"Of course, we'll see you at the wedding, our girls can handle the decorations," Karen said
"Yes, they will, I'll see you then," Marsha said leaving

"Layla, come here please," Brian said
"Yes, father?" Layla asked
"The meeting went well and you and Mei will be marrying in three to four months," Karen said
"Oh great, I can't wait," Layla said
"Good, remember what your job is," Brian said
"Yes, of course, father," Layla said
"Good, you may go now," Brian said

"YES! BEAT THAT ATHENA! MEI'S MINE!" Layla celebrated with joy calling the man in the hood
"Do you have all the information on Athena Sanchez?" Layla asked
"Yeah, I do," the man in the hood said
"Great! tell me all you know and then give me the information in person please," Layla said
"Okay, but she isn't that bad of a kid. Anyways, Athena Sanchez is also known as Nulla the music artist is 15 years old born May 13, 2005, she has a history of getting in trouble with law enforcement ranging from getting into fights, stealing, vandalization, trespassing, and has been under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Her father died when she was 8 years old turning her into the person she is now. She is also known as Athena in the group 'IV' which is a youtube channel.  They do videos ranging from videogames to skating, they are very well known, having ten thousand followers. Athena's track record with law enforcement is very short but they are getting caught two times steeling, one time vandalizing, and one-time trespassing, she has also been under the influence with drugs and alcohol when caught," The man said
"Wow, that's a lot, I bet Mei doesn't know about this, hehe, I'll use this on her. Did you get a picture of Athena too?" Layla asked
"Yup," the man said"
"Great, see you tomorrow with all the info," Layla said
"Yup, see ya brat," the man said
"Bye," Layla said
"Goodbye Athena, Hello, Mei! Ah, life is good," Layla said smiling

"I am so sorry Athena I really am..." the man said
