We're very rich, both of my parents' family are rich that's why we're one of the richest family in and outside of the country. My dad's family owns the famous luxurious model of cars in the Philippines that we also make the parts, we also have branches in Italy, Japan and Thailand while our branch in Korea is just opening.
Mommy's family, on the other hand, owns various famous beaches in and outside the country such as in Korea and Japan, but Papa is still planning to buy one of the big resorts in Italy. All of that belongs to our family, only Papa and I manage the company because mommy, the only child, is dead, same as mommy's parents. Papa is also an only child and Mamitz is Papa's only living parent. Dad raised me to be aware of running a business and how to handle it. I also learned to read people, many wants to make friends with me because we are rich and I know that they are just aftering our wealth so no way! I preferred to be alone than I already have friends but they will just use me as an ATM card but Mia is a different matter, that woman is really different from others.
Mia's family are also rich but not as rich as we are. Mia is the only one person who can really insults me and she is the only one I let to insult and make fun at me tss!
"Yes Papa, I'm here... Of course I go straight to the restaurant right after our class... Okay see you." I dropped the call and got out of my car and then made my way to the restaurant.
"Are you Ms. Chievez?" the waitress asked. I nodded.
"This way ma'am ..." she said respectfully then she led the way until we reached a VIP room and there he is, my papa.
"Papa!" I hugged him and kissed him on his cheeks.
"My princess! Uhm, Mr. Oriez, this is my daughter, Rosalisa Chievez. Lisa meets Mr. Oriez, he's the husband of your Tita mommy," he introduced me to the man wearing business suit sitting in front of us, I sniffed when Papa mentioned my full name.
"Just call me Lisa, Mr. Oriez," I said shyly and shook his hand, he just gave me a slight smile.
"Nice to meet you Lisa, just call me Tito Kenneth," he said that made me nod by agreeing what he said.
"Oh, there's my son," he said so I automatically turned to where he was looking at...
WHAT IS THIS SPONGEBOB BOY DOING HERE?!
"Dad," he greeted the man in front of me and faced us.
"Good evening, Tito," he politely greeted and looked at me with a frown forehead as if wondering why I'm here.
"Good evening, sit down," Dad greeted and pointed the vacant chair in front of me, the chair next to Tito Kenneth.
He sat there innocently and dropped his SpongeBob bag on the other chair.
"By the way, this is Lisa, Kurt, your Tita mommy's son. Kurt this is Lisa, my daughter," dad introduced the two of us.
"So let's eat first while discussing our agenda," Papa said, we all agreed.
"So, how's school Lisa? I heard your taking law course, that's interesting course," Tito said. I swallowed my foods.
"Yes Tito, I am taking a law course, I want to be an attorney. I'm really interested about this course," I replied with a smile plastered on my lips.
"Ohhh that's nice," he complimented and my smile widened. Actually, it's one of my dream fields but of course I have extra classes in Business Ad at home because I need that and yes two courses are I'm studying.
"You know, Kenneth, my daughter takes two courses at the same time," Papa said proudly.
"Oh? Really? What course is it?" Tito asked in amusement.
"She's also taking Business Ad." Tito looked at me in astonishment. Tito, that's how smart and beautiful am I err!
"How about your son?" Papa asked and looked at SpongeBob boy who stopped chewing and lifted his face, he drank some water before speaking.
"I am taking Architecture course, Tito," he answered innocently and respectfully, to which papa nodded and then he went back to eating.
"Ohh right, your course will help your business."
"Uhm, yeah I also love drawing," SpongeBob boy said with a smile.
"Hmmm right."
"So what's the matter? Why you called us here?" I asked that makes them stop from eating.
I've read their movements and I also know that greetings aren't the only reason we had dinner with the Oriez. I already know Tito Kenneth but not his son. They own the biggest company that makes and builds different houses, buildings and condos inside and outside the country in short they are also rich but not as rich as us. I guess?
"Actually it's a very serious matter..." said by Tito Kenneth.
"Yes it is... You're already 18, Lisa and Kurt is 19 now..."
"So what?" I asked confusedly, what if they will directly tell us---me the problem.
"You both need to get married as soon as possible," Tito Kenneth said. I couldn't immediately react and blinked many times and look at SpongeBob boy who had a confused look as well.
"W-what ?!" Thanks I burst out.
"It's one of the last wills of both your mothers," Papa said and pulled out a folder that was presented to me, as did Tito to SpongeBob boy who immediately looked at and read what was written.
I can't believe this mommy! Why him?! Huhu! I read the whole content and one of mommy's last wills is for me to marry the son of the Oriez when I turn 18. It was her agreement to Tita Mommy.
"Your both mothers are best friends so maybe that's their last will," said by Tito with a shrugged.
"No, No, No! I can't believe this! Gosh! Papa why didn't you tell me right away so that I wouldn't be so shocked now!" I protested.
"Of course, I won't tell you that in advance... Because I know you." Yeah you know me Papa, marriage is a big deal to me and then you also know what I will do when you tell me that in advance, you know I will run away errr!
I turned to SpongeBob boy who was innocently looking at me as well.
"So let's discuss about the wedding... Son, where is it?" Tito Kenneth asked, Kurt dug into his bag and pulled out the small box.
"Here, Dad." He gave it to Tito who took it and put it on the table and presented it to me. I picked it up and opened it. It's a ring... a simple ring but elegant.
"That's your engagement ring iha ..." I bite my lower lips and sighed.
I took it reluctantly and put it on my ring finger. If this is what mommy wants then I will agree even I'm really against with it.
Dad and Tito Kenneth smiled when I put on the ring while SpongeBob boy is with frowned forehead while looking at his food.
**
Tito Kenneth left first because he had an emergency call while Papa was in the comfort room.
"So ..." I began.
He looked at me.
"What do you think?"
"What for?" he asked innocently, I just rolled my eyes.
"This... We're engaged, you're my fiance and I'm your fiancée," I whispered.
He looked around as if he's thinking.
"What should I say?" I face palmed to what he said.
"Like duh! We're getting married so! So that means I'll be tied to you and you'll be tied to me," I said angrily.
"I won't tie you up... Wait, will you tie me up?" I closed my eyes. Can someone stop me, I'll choke him!
"Of course not!" I said irritatedly. Doesn't he know idioms?! As in idiomatic expression?!
He pouted. "You said I would be tied to you so I thought you would tie me."
My eyes widened at what he said. Gosh! Stop mind you're thinking dirty!
"N-no! I said idioms as in idiomatic expressions! Okay?!"
He pouted more. "Why are you shouting?"
I think I'm going crazy soon. I will grow old fast when I am with him grrr my curly hair! It will really straightening soon huhuh!
