BOUND BY TRADITION

Chapter 6

Upon arrival in the room, Melissa feels an incomprehensible cold, she finds it strange.

Melissa's family stands at the edge of the room. At each family conference, it is only their family that must be up.

“So everyone is there, let's start. The reason I'm looking for you is only for the purchase of the office building.”

“Now that we are a well-developed family, the office place must not be so poor. I found a building of The Corecloud Land Company to my liking. I want to have it bought. Who is a volunteer?”

Master Decastro looks all around.

Everyone lowers their heads, afraid of the adequacy of this task.

The level of the Decastro family, they are all aware. The Corecloud Land Company despises them, and its door has always closed for the Decastros. As a result, no one accepts the mission.

“For entertainment you accept it very quickly, isn't it? When it comes to serious business, do you remain mute? Why? Do you think that we, the Decastros, are not able to buy it?” Master Decastro makes a sound of misunderstanding.

They lower their heads even lower.

Melissa doesn't dare to say anything either. Although she wants to buy the building for the family business, she knows well how difficult it is. She can only think silently. If you don't have a guarantee, resign yourself to perish.

At that moment, Jeremy takes a look at Melissa, with a smart smile, he says aloud:

“Grand-pa, I heard that Melissa knows what to do to buy the Corecloud Land Company building. Can we pass this case to her?”

Melissa, mouth open, didn't wait for Jeremy to say.

Before she can put off, Sonia goes forward and says:

“Yes, Grandfather. Melissa told us that she will absolutely buy it. In addition, she can get a 50% discount.”

Patrick's eyes light up. He is a man who is very concerned about his prestige and money. It will be wonderful if Melissa can make the purchase at a 50% discount.

“Melissa, is that true?” Master Decastro asks her.

Melissa is eager to explain:

“Grandfather, I never said that…”

Sonia interrupts her directly:

“Melissa, don't be too modest. That day, we all heard what you said.”

Afterwards, she takes a look at the rest of the family. They understood right away and chorused with Sonia.

“Sonia is right, we have all heard it. It's true.”

“Grandpa, Melissa must do this task, finally she can buy it with 5 million.”

Yes, the Decastro family has raised her since her childhood, she must pay back. We must not speak without acting, let her make the purchase.”

Melissa remains silent, observing Jeremy's mocking smile, she understands that it was he who intrigued all this.

Cindy and Gilbert are not waiting for these people to cling to a point of view that Melissa can buy the building for 5 million, they are very worried.

On the contrary, Jack looks relaxed. It seems that he doesn't mind.

Having seen Jack’s relaxation, Cindy accuses him:

“It's his fault, this is unlucky. Otherwise, where does this misfortune come from?”

Master Decastro looks at Melissa and says:

“Melissa, since you have the confidence, this mission is yours. Then I'll have 5 million transferred to you. Of course, you will have a reward if it is done well.”

Listening to Master Decastro, Jeremy and Sonia can't stop laughing, they believe that their black purpose is realized.

Melissa frowns and says:

“Grand-father, the Company's building Corecloud Land, the price marked is more than 10 million, I believe that 5 million does not..”

“Melissa, but it was you who promised that you could get a half discount, and you made the promise with a firm tone. Why do you deny it to Grandfather? Do you want to defam Grandpa's money?” Sonia cuts her immediately.

While making sure that Melissa can't explain, Cindy says hastily with a smile:

“Sonia, are you wrong, maybe? Melissa never said these big screams. You know, she's not afraid. Don't embarrass her.”

“Aunt, you're wrong. We were all there when Melissa made the promise, of course. Why do you deny? Does that mean that Melissa only wants a benefit from Grandfather but refuses to do anything?” Jeremy questions her.

Cindy is stunned by his words.

Master Decastro also loses his patience because of Melissa's family's false runaway. With a severe air, he says in a low voice:

“They all heard you, why do you deny it in front of me?”

“It's really like what Jeremy said, that you only aim for profits, but refuse to make efforts?”

Melissa is eager to explain:

“That's not true, Grandpa. I would like to make an effort for the family, but…”

“But what? If you want to make an effort for the family, there is no excuse. I'll leave you the purchase of the building. If you refuse to do so, it's not worth staying at my house.I won't keep a good for nothing, says Patrick.”

Melissa is in a dilemma. She cannot give up, but Master Decastro offers only 5 million. The Corecloud Land Company already despises them, but Patrick Decastro is full of himself, who believes that Decastro is a sublime family. He is thinking of winning a 5 million building, he cradles himself with vain hopes.

“Grandpa, I can accept it. However, 5 million is not enough to buy a building. Can you add a little more? I will negotiate with the Corecloud Land Company,” says Melissa.

“Do you still have the courage to discuss the price? That's the price you said. Why does grandfather have to add money?” Sonia opposes aggressively.

Master Decastro takes a look at Melissa, it's clear that he doesn't want to shoot a penny more. For him, it is the honor of the Corecloud Land Company if he appreciates their building. He takes the discount by half as it should be.

While Melissa is worried, Jack comes forward and says out loud:

“5 million, it's agreed. Melissa will win this purchase.”
