Rose's pov
"Rose! Thank god for your safety, I am sorry for running away but I got scared" Rita hugged me tightly, she put her head under my chin I can feel she is crying I gently stroke her hair " Yeah all thanks to him but doesn't worry I am not blaming you that's the fine thing you did even if I were in your place I did the exact thing, I am happy you're safe too" I try to comfort her she slowly lifts her head to face me, she smiled sadly to me before facing the man who was enjoying this girl scene, Rita thanked him and he nodded in response.
"If you girls are done than rose we have to go," he said and we nod before going out with him I again requested Rita to take notes " of course that's the at least I could do it for you," she said and the bell rings "I have to go bye" she existed the cafe and going to the classroom, she is sweet actually.
I took my bag and I walked with him towards his Mercedes car, we both sat inside as he orders his driver to start the car towards my dad's company, he was typing something on his phone. He turned his head in my direction when he caught me staring at him. "So what's your name?" I asked, he looked at me for a moment. " Michael Shawn Xavier, you can just call me Xavier," he said, this name suits him very well, something is captivating about the personality that's making me curious to know more about him "And what you do for dad exactly?" I ask and out of sudden, he becomes off guard he thought something for a moment "I am his... Assistant" he finally replies and I nodded but for a minute I felt like he is hiding because dad's ex-assistant was a girl and she was intelligent then why dad chose him? I wanted to ask some more questions but I decided to leave it for our next meeting.
And rest of the ride gone in silence. He kept looking at the phone and I opened my textbook to revise what I learned till we reached to dad's company.
The car stopped in front of a huge glass building it been a while since I came here without wasting time we take the elevator and pressed the 20th floor. "Do you want me to show you the washroom? His question caught me off guard, I furrowed my brows at him when he saw me confused he spoke" I mean your dad told you to wear something appropriate and you're in... "he explains and I told him to give me five minutes, I adjusted my shirt and wears my black jacket I wiped my face with wipes and puts some Eyeliner and lip balm I checked myself in the mirrored elevator one last time before looking at Xavier his faces shows that he is impressed with me." You're seriously a genius" he said
"I know" I wink at him as he chuckles lightly before showing me the way of dad's office.
We stepped outside of the elevator and made our way to dad's office, I knocked few times and hear "come in" I push the door open and saw my dad sitting on the desk looking at the sky through the glass wall.
He turned his body to face me, as a big smile came across his lips, I walked towards him and gently hug him so does he. " I am really happy that you choose to come here," he said and I give him a small smile, from inside I am nowhere near the word happy each minute I am preparing myself to gain enough courage to explain all this to mom I don't know if she will scold me or slap me but she has to understand me and my needs.
"Today we have a meeting with Mr. Atkinson about the business market after requesting him a lot he finally decided to give us a Chance so stayed focused alright?" he said and I nodded hard, we walked towards the meeting room.
"Can you see that guy he is Mr.Atkinson" dad whisper in my ears, he was sitting there on the chair flashing us a big smile, his looks say that he not more than twenty-five, his long hair is tied up in a bun and hazel eyes are matching his clean shave look that gives him a GQ model personality I can see his jawlines that are sharper than Xavier's?
Just in a single day, I met two handsome hotties, " I am Mr.Adam Atkinson and you miss...." he asks extending his hand for a handshake before I could reply dad spoke " My daughter Rose McMillan is here to learn about our business world after all she's going to be the heir of my billion-dollar empire" Dad proudly introduced me and Mr. Adam chuckle, shaking hand with me.
"I hope Mrs. McMillan you will be the same successful and dedicated person as your father," Mr. Adam said looking directly into my eyes. " I will Mr. Ad-" he cuts me off " Just Adam and may I also call you rose?" he asks and I give him a big smile " Of course Adam" he nods smilingly, we sat on the chair adam sat opposite of me while Xavier and dad sat beside me and their team members sat on rest of the chairs.
They started their meeting with every minute Adam was just looking at me there was shine in his eyes that I failed to understand while Xavier was glaring at him, I saw him clenched his fist under the table, silently tension was raising and it was becoming hard for me to focus on the meeting.
"And that's how our profit will increase by ten percent" I hear dad's voice that helped me to come back from my thoughts. "What you think Rose?" Adam asks, waiting for me to speak half of their talk I didn't listen so I don't know what he's asking from me.
I rose from my seat taking a deep breath "I-I think we can increase our profits by decreasing the price of our unsold products it will not only increase our sales and demands but also our reputation in the market" I stated on basis of what I able to hear I am not sure if they were talking about this or not but I am sure dad will scold me after the meeting, everyone is just looking at me with a serious expression.
I gazed back on the table not wanting to see their serious looks suddenly I heard people were clapping for me, I lift my head and saw dad, Xavier and Adam were smiling brightly even I feel dad pats my back lightly and I widely smiled with them. "Good job Rose I am impressed" Adam's voice shows happiness. "Thanks, adam" I reply and he nods. "After all she's my daughter" Dad proudly said.
