Zuleika Zimmermann got down from the car and walked straight into the building with an emotionless face. She had on a black, fur covered jacket that reached only a few inches above her ankle.
Beneath it, she was dressed in a red, sleeveless body fitting gown that stopped few inches below her knee. She had paired it with black stilettos and a black clutch and she didn't need to be told,she knew she looked flawless.
She walked towards the huge dining table and immediately, a man came and helped her take off her jacket and pulled out a chair for her.
She sat down, setting her purse down on the table.
"You're late" Zyaire says and glances briefly at the time on his wrist watch.
"I know" Zuleika says picking up the white napkin on the table and placing it down on her covered laps.
She knew she was late, she planned to be late. What was she being in time for anyways? Meeting her big head of a younger brother?
"You're just unbelievable" he says, picking up the glass of water that sat on the table and gulping it down.
"Well..." She says simply as she picked up her fork and knife.
"Why did you want to have dinner together?" Zyaire asks
"Why? I can't have dinner with my darling brother?" She asks, looking at him before turning back to her food
"Like that would be the reason we ever have dinner together. If you have nothing important to say,then I'd like to take my leave" Zyaire says all set to stand up and leave
"Actually, you're right. Dad called for a family meeting, he wants to see us tomorrow" she says and he frowns
"Dad? Why would he want to see us?" He asks shifting in his chair and Zuleika shrugs, setting down both the fork and knife she held in her hand and picking up the glass of wine on the table and drinking some of it before dropping it back on the table.
"I don't know. Come for the meeting tomorrow and you'll know why he wants to see us" she says
"Will Zoey and Zayn be present?" He asks with raised brows
"Its a family meeting right? They are part of the family right? Then of course they will be there" she says poking her fork into the green vegetable that lay on her plate.
"Whatever" Zyaire says just as she puts the vegetable into her mouth.
He looks at his watch and stands up. "You're leaving?" Zuleika asks not sparing him a glance
"Yes. Thanks for dinner" he says and without another word, he walked out of the building with his security. Only one thing lingered in his mind as he entered the car and his driver drove off.
Why does father want to see us??
Zuleika dropped her fork on the plate, leaning properly against the chair as a sigh escaped her red lipstick coloured lips.
