A knock on the door wake me up from my day dreaming and the boring paper work, I left my head to see Jordan coming my way.
Jordan "sir you need to get ready, it is almost time for the a waited dinner"
Adrian "why do I feel that it is coming from your mouth sarcastically"
Jordan "no sir it was just a surprise that you agreed to go on a marriage interview"
Adrian "this time it is deferent, it seems to be very important for mother, and I can't keep going on like that, I will at least give it a try for mother and myself"
Jordan "I am happy that the little master is moving forward, I can't seem to stop the tears from falling"
Adrian "you have grown old Jordan, they will think that your Maya grandfather"
His face distorted, I really know how to push his button.
Jordan "huh… the car will be ready in a minute, and I am not that old inside I have the soul of eternal youth"
A middle aged man calling himself a teenager in a round bout way, I can't help but find it funny, but showing it isn't a good idea, poor old man.
The car stopped in front of a high class restaurant, this is the place where I will meet my soon to be fiancé, I saw my parents at the reception waiting to be lead to the table.
Joining them after alight greeting, we were lead to the table, on the way I can see mother smiling, she can't hide her excitement, aren't I am supposed to be the one with a high tension, I hope this will end up in a good way; I don't want to disappoint ma anymore.
At our table sat a family of three, a couple and a young daughter, I recognized the man who sat there, Alfred Simons the CEO of Simons & Lincoln .CO an empire in the business world, it has its hand in almost every field in every market, and one of the two rivals for our company, if our company was rated at the first place in the business world, then this man's company has the third place, an opponent not to take lightly at all.
Looking at him greeting us, I began to evaluate this man and I have to say that his first fault is that he reeked of greed, it is known how heartless this man can be, not that I can complain as I can be 100times more heartless.
Alfred "it a pleasure to meet the master and second young master Ortox, of course Miss Ortox too"
Alan "it's good to see you doing well mister Simons"
I only nodded a little to return his greeting, sitting in my chair I felt an unpleasant look that was pointed at me, following the source to find the young lady Simons eyeing me like a piece of meat, a wave of disgust found its way inside my stomach, I felt sorry for ma but this kind of women, is the kind I prefer to die rather than looking at them, let alone thinking of a life together, the young lady has a good figure with a face full of makeup, a strong smell of perfume ,a gaudy dress, a disgusting look in her eyes, after one look I didn't want to see her in my life ever again.
Eating the dinner that I barely touched with alight conversation on the side, until we reached the main subject.
Alfred "it was a pleasant surprise to know that the second young master is interested in our princess, we will not be any happier at all if the young master will take care of my daughter"
A fake smile from a greedy man, I can see where he is aiming at, and truly disgusting I will end it now, sorry ma.
Eleanor "there must be some misunderstanding here Mister Simon, we are here indeed to discuss an engagement between our son and Lillian's daughter, as I promised my best friend but I can't see the girl here today may I know why is that."
Carla "that creepy and gloomy girl will not be a proper partner to your son, while my daughter here is well educated, well mannered, she can help the young master in his future and be a wonderful wife for him, not like that sick girl."
The woman who I presume to be Mister Simons wife, exploded and what came out of her mouth was poison, looking at the family that is in front of me, anger and disgust raged inside me, so they came here ignoring the related person to suggest this creep of a woman in front of me, haven't they heard of me?, do they think I will tolerate someone who is trying to deceive me? Do they want to me to erase them from existence?.
I was about to talk when ma cut me.
Eleanor "don't you ever talk about her child like that or I will make you regret ever doing it, and you mister Simons, you seem to forget about Lillian already if I can't reason with you then I will take it to the elders and that girl is 21 so she can decide by herself, it seems coming here was a waste of our time"
The man face sank and ma stood up with father who only stared at the disgusting family with cold eyes, the girl faked some tears and her mother was acting like a victim, truly disgusting.
Adrian "you must know me or at least heard of me, you three have tried to cross me and you mister Simons know well what happened to people who do so, engrave it in your heart, there will be no tomorrow or next time"
The three got petrified from the little blood lust they felt, and I walked away fallowing my parents thinking it was a waste of time and I didn't even get to see my soon to be fiancé, thinking about women, the girl from the library crept inside my head, huh I should go and visit the library after finishing the Monteria port deal….
In the car the Ortox couple heading home
Eleanor "I knew that man was a good for nothing, he have the audacity to promote that mistress daughter, I still can't forget that he brought that women with her daughter right after Lillian died, shamelessly saying to everyone that I was cheating on my wife, he doesn't even deserve a tear drop from Lillian yet she suffered allot because of him, I won't let her daughter suffer under that man, honey I will need your help"
Alan "I will do whatever I can but I don't think we will have to do much, they successfully managed to piss off the devil himself, your son will not stay silent at all"
Eleanor "you're calling our cute son a devil, what a cruel parent you are"
Alan "hasn't that devil come from this demon"
Eleanor blushed a little saying to herself we are grown-ups now, yet I can't help but blush like a teenager.
Alan " don't worry I have a good feeling about this, just let your son do it his way, I will talk to the elders so he can meet the girl and the rest will be on him, I hope it will help him cure his wounds"
Eleanor "I too hope so honey"
The car continued its way to the Ortox mansion at the same time the second young master reached his penthouse and headed to do some work to distract himself of what happened tonight and the eyes that kept on appearing inside his memories, as he thought about it he decided to visit the library as soon as possible.
