Everyone at the table nods their heads in unison, but I don't because I do not have a role to play in this business other than to act as a good little girl.. besides I am still in college.
My dad as the patriarch is the CEO , my first oldest brother Brent is the head of the finance department, my second brother Damon is the project manager.... My sister works with the marketing department and then there is my mom.. well she is just ... nevermind her role . ... I am the only one that does not directly participate in any official business as I am really focused on school.
'Well that is great dad' Serfia my big sister says .
My father suddenly continues ' After having a talk with Mr . Knocks snr. We think that this partnership will go very far and that there will be more of such business dealings in the future so as the project commences we may have to continue our alliance by way of marriage so strengthen the bonds of both families better '
Cough cough... I really couldn't help but cough as I choke in nothing as my family talks about an arranged marriage between us and the other family..my mom sends me the nastiest glare ever and my brother Brent shakes his head at me to watch it.. but I can't ..I can't and I can't help but voice out my opinion. ..... "But dad !! That is crazy an arranged marriage??? It is the 21st century who still does this???"
'Quiet ' my mother interjects ' what your father is saying is that, the knocks believe that for such business dealings to continue smoothly and foster a better relationship between us they believe a marriage between our families would be best. And your father and I think the same also '
But mom Brent and Damon are already married, it's definitely not going to be you and dad either,that leaves Serfia and myself and I don't think she wants you deciding who she gets married to... And I am too young for that also.
I really don't think you guys thought this through I mean....
