Erza (P.O.V)
Oliver (Frown): "Hmm do you know this young boy?"
He came close to me and my dad and shake his hand with my dad...
Vincent (politely): "Hello, Mr. Oliver."
Oliver (Politely and curiously): "Hello young man.. but can you answer my previous question? Because I know my daughter won't tell me anything!!"
Erza (Roll her eyes and curse him in her heart.. Damn this Vincent.. When did I am going to get rid of him.. he is now getting on my nerves): "Dad.."
Vincent (intentionally): "Didn't she told you that for the past 3 days, I'm visiting her at your house..??"
Oliver (shook his head in shock): "No... and at the house? I mean our? (Came close to Vincent and narrowed his eyes): In the hallway or her room?"
Vincent (nervously and bend his eyes like trying to hide something): In... in.. hallway sir.."
I look at him in shock.. isn't he is giving my dad a wrong hint that he met me in my room.. (I bite my lower lip angrily and curse him again) "This Bastard..!!"
My father looks at me with shock in his eyes and with many.. many... many shiny questions..!!
And apart from this, he didn't let those questions stay in his mind!!
Oliver (excitedly and desperately.. he doesn't know how to express his emotions): "Erza you never even go on blind dates that I arrange but now you met him at the house behind my back.. and on the top of that in your room? Is it the reason that you join the office soon... because you knew he is going to meet me soon?
Should I think he is my future son-in-law??
And did you ask for leave so that you can enjoy yourself with him?
If you told me.. would I interfere? Why not tell me before?
I immediately arrange the marriage between both of you.."
Erza (I put my hand on my father's mouth): "Dad stop making me embarrass.. and Mr. Vincent kindly choose your words carefully.. they were too ambitious... And make people, especially people like my father misunderstood so easily..!!"
Dad starts throwing eye daggers towards his daughter!!
"Very Good..!! It's just too great now!!"
Vincent (with a bright smile.. very similar to a fox smile): "Yeh sure.. I'll be careful in choosing words that won't reveal anything."
I ignore him and change the topic to the name of business.. we sit and start talking about the proposal he brought...
The project they want to start was Fiji island for a resort...
Erza: "The proposal is good but there is a point which can cause a problem.."
Vincent (raise one eyebrow): "What's that?"
Erza: "I know you came here fully prepared.. but what profit did we get to invest in a resort there?? There were already many resorts.. hotels and restaurants.."
Vincent (Smirk): "Didn't you said I came fully prepared? You must ignore the word turtle... it's Turtle Island Fiji. There are not many hotels and resorts there...
In 2015, there is a 4000 something population... Now it may be 10000 to 15000... The reviews of tourism are good too...
Make a romantic resort there and some lover points as much as possible... then we can test it.. and you can check the location there before we start the construction...
Erza (Confusingly): "Checked? How can I?"
Vincent (with evil vibes): "We can go there for a week and saw the location.. and the other little resort or hotels too.."
Erza (reject without a second thought): "No need... you can go...
Oliver (interrupt his dumb daughter according to him): "Yeh sure she'll come with you... I'll go too, but you know I'm an old man who can't travel too long.."
Vincent (handshake with him): "Then Mr.Oliver, I'll come tomorrow to pick her. I already booked the noon flights."
Oliver: "Ahh.. that's a great young man... I like your way to appro... (didn't complete the word and immediately change the sentence) your way to do work and early preparation (and wink at him)."
Is he my dad?? Did he think am I deaf or blind? I already understand what he tries to say.. he like the way he chooses to approach me? Dad, you'll gonna regret it too much!!
Vincent (forward his hand towards me with a big idiotic smile): "Congrats on this collaboration."
