Make it work

Chapter 10

Recap

Placing Sarah's file and the other one I picked out in front of me, I was so confused. I had two options; pick Sarah's and help her family or pick the other one and make my family proud.

Taking a deep breath I made my choice. All that's left now is to tell my dad hopefully he doesn't ask till next week's Monday when the two weeks dead line is completed.
------------------------------------------------------
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" My dad asked... more like yelled at me

"No sir" I squeaked out looking to the ground because i was so terrified of the look on his face. It was deadly! It reminded me of that statement, if looks could kill.  And that got me thinking, if it really could, my body would probably be in a memorial service right now

And yes, you guessed right, it's five days later and I just showed my dad my choice and as you can tell by his question, he's not pleased with it. In fact he is boiling with rage right now

"So why this nonsense?" He asked with clenched teeth obviously trying to control his anger. This was bad! This was very bad! When my dad clenched his teeth to talk, you know he's about  to loose it. I'm in a very very very deep trouble

Also if you hadn't guessed yet, I picked Sarah's family company and I'm feeling the heat of the choice right now. Literally! I'm sweating gallons from the internal heat of my nervousness and the external heat of my father's angry eyes

"Well, you asked me to make a choice sir" I answered very slowly in a hushed voice with the little courage I had gathered from the small peptalks I had been giving myself for days in preparation to this moment

"Yes, I did that thinking you were capable of making a good choice that would be beneficial to the company. If I had known you would do something this ridiculous, I would have done it myself! " he said giving me a hard look

"Well, they aren't a bad choice... " I paused for a short moment because he sent me a look more deadly than the rest "... I think?" I finished in a whisper

"You clearly didn't think Daniel, because this people have nothing to offer but their name!" He said, yelling at me again. But his statement just made me give a mental smirk because I had him right where I wanted him to be

"Yes, but a good name is better than riches, right? And they have one of the best records with their reputation. Also, they have more branches in Nigeria amd some other african countries than we do, our company has more branches abroad so, expansion would be easy with little financing right? Therefore, our alliance or merger would be a beneficial one. All we have to do is invest money and with efficient management our company would gain more money and at the same time gain expansion" I rushed out, making some things up and improvising as I went along with the speech and also for the first time speaking more than two lines to my father

My dad gave a look... like he was actually really considering what I just said, making me have a mixed feeling of uncertainty and gladness because the nonsense that literally just sprouted from my mouth was actually making sense to my dad!

My dad took a deep breath and said "You really did put a lot of thought into this and made the best choice for our company"

I almost scoffed out loud thinking how off-track he was but quickly caught myself because I was not yet in the safe zone. Also, it's not like I would have had the guts to scoff outloud at my father

"Well, I'm proud of you son. You really are a business man like your father"he said, looking like he meant it. Which made me think 'if only you knew dad, if only' but I just gave a nod

"I'll inform ours and the other families on your decision. The preparation for the wedding will start immediately. You may leave my office now"he said ending the discussion, with his hand ushering me out of his office

Once I walked out of his study and closed the door behind me, I leaped up throwing punches at the air and smiling wildly. I was so happy that I was able to convince my dad! I actually got him to agree!

Wow! I really am a good business guy! Right now, I could easily make a carrier as a sales rep.

Also, I could help Sarah's family out of their bankruptcy! Which was the main reason why i did what I did

I happily ran up the stair and speed walked to my room. But on getting to the door of my room, it suddenly hit me. The wonderland bubble in my head burst and the reality of my messed up life glared at me right in the face, making my merriment come to an abrupt end

It came with the thought, I was getting married!

Which formed the thought, I was freaking getting married at sixteen!!

And that thought graduated to, I was freaking getting married at sixteen to Sarah, my crush!!!

Finally, the thought ended at, I was freaking getting married at sixteen to Sarah my crush who is eighteen, two freaking years older than me!!!!!

And with that in mind, I groaned falling face down on my bed.

The last thought they formed in my mind before sleep took over was "What would Sarah have to say about all this?"

I guess that was more of a question. A question that I would surely get an answer to whether I liked it or not
