Micha, Micha do you accept it" the old man said after he noticed her daughter was absent-minded. "Dad, please there must be something else you want. 6 months is too short a period to find a guy, date, get to know each other's temperament and make plans of marriage that's too short a time frame, please make it 18 months and in the meanwhile, I'll run the business. If the time is up and I'm not married, I get no chances again. Please dad"
The old man firmly spoke again "no, 6 months and you can run the business till then if you don't find anyone all your chances are gone. You're my daughter, I wish you no harm or trouble but I'd not sit around and let you put your life in ruin and loneliness like your grandma, my mother. 6 months is all you have daughter, better get to work. And, I've already drafted the contract, my P. A has sent it to your's, take a good look through it and know to get back to me as quick as possible and get it to Katherine, if you hold your end I'll hold my end.
Now Micha was flustered, this is the most absurd thing ever, how would she pull this off and what if she's unable to pull it off, she'll lose the seat and feel incomplete for the rest of her life, she promised her mother she would make her proud on her death bed. " I have a client and a very lucrative deal that would shot us higher by 58 % our current net worth, we are already the most sort after company in the many countries, we get to this deal and we go global. I mean everywhere no hole can unsee us. Let me close this deal instead, it's way more beneficial than getting married"..... That was true, but to her father, it wasn't about the money anymore, it was about how busy and distant his mother was, in the claims of that same company. When he was young his siblings and himself had no mother-child bonding time, it was all work, their mother didn't even carry them... They were born by a surrogate mother. She was very capable to carry them, but as she said"I was too busy to do so, but your father wanted kids and I couldn't deprive him of that". To him that meant his mother never really wanted them, all she cared about was taking care of the company her father left her, he loved his mother so much despite that and believed his mother loved them in her way too, his siblings drifted more and more from her as they grew older but he was the oldest and his first child and that meant he had to be close to her when she was in her old and weak state..... So what if he wasn't around, she would have died in a strangers care. He didn't want that for his daughter, she looked too much like his mother as the days go by.
"Okay dad, I accept your contract... That's good my daughter you've made a good decision" She quickly turned and left the room. She needed to think of what to do now, she has accepted something she doesn't know how to even go about it. All she could do was sigh.....
