"Make sure that you deliver those papers to our law firm. And I need all my new hires to be greeted tomorrow with an NDA before they are permitted to enter." I barked at my assistant over FaceTime as I was driving to the venue where I will be announced as the new CEO.

"What if they do not want to sign it?" She asked and I chuckled as I parked in the front of the building.

"Then fire them! Or I'll fire you!" I laughed and then hung up the phone. This was my fifth assistant this month. I'm not easy to work with. I demand and expect excellence and that's what I will get. I got out of my car and was met with the valet.

"Touch anything that doesn't belong to you and I'll take the most important thing to belongs to you." I smirk tossing my keys to him and walking away. Entering the building I hear loud laughing. I go up to the front desk and saw a pretty young woman who was clearly ghetto. She had nails the length of a toothpick. She was chewing her gum loudly and sat there filing her nails. She was so distracted by the show she was watching. She did not even see me walking up. I clear my throat and she looked up at me as if she was annoyed.

"Sir the event doesn't start for another two hours." She said and then started her video up again. I reach over the counter and pause the video. She looked up at me like she wanted to argue with me. These people never do research of who their boss really is.

"I'm Marquis Carter." I tell her and her eyes got very big and she shot up out of her chair.

"Mr.Carter, I'm so sorry. I was instructed to take you to the back to get ready. Follow me." She said shakily walking and I followed her. This hotel had been the venue for The annual Carter Gala for twenty years . I had been attending these since I was old enough to talk, but this one was for me. This is the night I officially become a man. 

I follow her to a door and she opened it. I saw my mom and her glam team. She was dressed perfectly. It was always her style to stand out. She was talking to the owner of the hotel. He was obviously flirting like he does every time he sees my mom. My mom was controlling but she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. If I could find a woman who loves me half of the way she loves me then I'll marry her. I love my mom and about her I would lay down my life. Cause she gave it to me. But I could never say the same about my father. But our problems couldn't be summed up in a few words.
