Fiona and Ethan decided to see their Dad in his office. They both walked to his office holding hands with a cute smile on their lips."How many times do they have to greet us?" Ethan complained. "Come on, you don't have to think about that. Courtesy demands that they do that, don't you get it?" Fiona replied as they both walked past Leslie who stepped out of Mr. Starling's office a few seconds ago.She didn't say a word to them, which was weird. They looked at themselves and turned back to look at her. "That's weird of Leslie, there's no way she walks past us without saying a word," Fiona muttered."Yeah you are right, that doesn't even happen. Maybe Dad is at it again, you know how Dad behaves right?" Ethan muttered as they pushed the door of Mr. Sterling's office open. Mr. Sterling raised his head and smiled when he saw his two kids walk in."Son, and daughter at my office. What do I owe to this unexpected meeting?" He asked as he stood up from his seat."Nothing important, we just
"Fine, I will go and prepare. Whatever this is, I fucking hate it, and I ain't happy about it." Fiona scoffed and walked away to her office. Ethan exhaled, before walking into his office."(Thirty minutes later)They were all seated in the conference room waiting for the special guest. Fiona leaned towards her brother due to the fact they were seated side by side. "Do you know who this so-called special guest is?"Ethan shook his head, "No I don't. I am as curious as you.""You didn't have to use the same words to answer me, you know, right?" She asked, and he nodded his head."I am sorry gentlemen. It's not the intention of our guests to waste your time or keep you waiting. He will be here soon," Mr. Sterling stood up to apologize.The quiet conference room became noisy. A few seconds after he sat down, Mr. Alistair walked in with his hands in his pocket, and a smirk on his face. Immediately the room became dead silent.He didn't say a word, he walked towards his seat which was besid
Reagan, who was outside, noticed that things were getting a bit heated. He could tell from the way they were both staring at each other and the looks on their faces. "Yeah, you heard me right, who am I to you?" Nathan asked again.Reagan moved closer to hear what they were saying, but he couldn't because all the glass was locked. "Come on Nathan, don't tell me you don't know who you are to me?"Nathan laughed, "I know who I am, but I want to hear it from your lips. Tell me, who am I to you?" He asked again."Do I really need to give you an answer, when you already have an answer?" She asked as she was looking straight forward."Do you? Does a student need to give his or her teacher the answer to a question, knowing fully well that the teacher knows the answer?" Nathan asked."Come on Nathan, it doesn't have to get to this. You already know the answer, why should I give you an answer?" She asked.Nathan was already fed up with her response, and body language. He didn't say a word, he m
"Why are you delaying in saying what you have to say, Mr. Sterling? Please go ahead, I am sure you have important things to do after this meeting," Mr. Alistair said, folding his hands.From the way he spoke, you could tell he was tired of Mr. Sterling's speech, "I am sorry if I am wasting your time. The beautiful, and intelligent lady I speak about is nobody but my daughter here, Fiona," Mr. Sterling muttered, smiling, as he tilted his gaze towards his daughter.Mr. Alistair tilted his head towards Fiona. Fiona felt angry, and disgusted at her father, but she couldn't do anything because she had promised him a few hours ago in his office. "She smiled at Alistair."She's not bad, she's also part of the board of this organization, that's great. Well, you can get my number from your dad, maybe we will sit out for dinner or lunch.""That won't be a problem. When you are ready you can contact my dad, if I am free it's a date, but if I am not. We will have to postpone it, what do you thin
Ethan's gaze moved to his table, "I guess I have to start going. I have a lot of work to do.""Go ahead," Ethan replied, as he walked to his table. He got hold of his phone, it was Elara calling. His lips curved into a smile when her name popped up.Immediately he answered, "Good afternoon my baby.""Good afternoon my love," she replied, smiling in her room."How are you, and how's your day going?" Elara asked."My day is going great. What about you, how are you doing, and how's your day going?" He asked as he sat down."Yeah, I am having a good day. I was missing you, and I decided to hear your voice," she replied blushing."Awwwwn, that's lovely. How about we head out to one of the expensive restaurants tonight for dinner?" He asked, whirling around his chair.She delayed before answering, "To be sincere with you, I don't think if that will be possible Ethan. My parents are complaining about me not eating dinner with them. You know my parents right?"Ethan huffed, "Yeah I understand
(The Next Day)Elara woke up very early, she decided to act on the advice of Oliver. After thinking over it for some time, weighing the pros, and the cons. She found out it would be better if she spoke to her ex-husband herself.Besides she has nothing to lose, all she has to do is beg for his forgiveness. Beg on behalf of her parents, and look for a way to get into his head. Maybe seduce him, or do something to make him happy.At that point, she brings up the idea of her father getting his job back. Hopefully, in that state of his, there's every tendency he's going to answer her request without even thinking. This was Elara's plan.She got away from her bed and dashed straight towards her bathroom. She did her morning routine, starting with mouthwash wash, and skin care, before finally having her bath. When she was done bathing, Elara stepped out of her bathroom with a towel tied around her chest, which didn't extend to her knee. She walked towards her wardrobe with an ugly, and sat
After a few minutes of waiting, her eyes became heavy, so she decided to sleep for a while. She felt if Mr. Alistair showed up, there was no way she wouldn't know.Elara adjusted her chair backward and slept off with her windows clocked.*****Mr. Alistair, was outside waiting for Layla, and Nathan to step out. He still didn't understand why they were inside. They were done with their breakfast before he started eating. Which means they should be the ones waiting for him, not the other way around.He glanced at his wristwatch, time was ticking. He had something important to do at work today. He has refused to share this with Nathan, and Layla, it's an action he wants to carry out on his own.He looked at Reagan who had his gaze on him. "Can you please check up on them? Time is ticking, and before you know it we are already late.""Give me a few minutes boss," he replied as he walked towards the door. He was about to open it when they both stepped out, with their arms interlocked. Reaga
Mr. Alistair kept mute for a few minutes before he spoke up. "Fine, let's discuss it in my car," he replied and took her hands as he led her to his car.Elara locked her car by pressing the button on her key as she walked to his car. Immediately Reagan saw them coming, and without being told, he came out of the car. "Thank you," Mr. Alistair said to him, before getting into the car.Reagan walked over to the security office instead of just loitering around. Elara sat down in the car staring at him. He was also staring at her. "You said you have something to tell me, I am listening."She nodded her head and gulped hard before speaking. Mr. Alistair had a preconceived thought of Elara wanting to talk about their marriage. He remembered his plan to have her on his side, maybe this might be an opportunity.Elara on the other hand was thinking about the perfect way to start and ended up convincing him to get her Dad back to the computer. "Alistair, it's funny how the tablet turns quickly.
