Chapter 29 - Ç28

She looked at the title, then cut out the page. "That's too weird" then closed it "I'll chose later" What was she supposed to do now , wait fir the day to end or help the worker. She opted to join the workers instead. That would make time move faster.

Ria's POV.

Her alarm woke her earlier than usual since this was the day for her presentation to the company. Her dad's company. It's annoying when naturally you're supposed to be the soul heiress to all of your father's companies and wealth but your dad refuses. Because, apparently he want you to work for it. On top of that , nobody in the company knew that you she was his daughter.

It's annoying.

She was living in her own apartment not far away from home. Staying at home would limit her freedom due to the people at her house. Her nanny,the driver and all those people.

About the issue of her getting married,no, engaged to some guy whom she couldn't even remember the name right now ,that issue was long gone since her dad had already recovered all his shares and now the company was stable.

She did her morning routine and left the house to the company. Dressed in a black,suit, she confidently entered the meeting room. Not many people had arrived by now so she had enough time to prepare herself.

Thirty minutes or so.

Life was pretty much more boring when , her sister or Tristan weren't around. They were her use in living. Tristan would be back in three weeks from now. And her sister,had limited time before 'something' happened to her. Since they both left her life became a bit more normal. No , going to the Shades place or whatever it was, no angry man and purple eyes. Most things were normal.

The board room was soon filled by her father's associates, she wasn't scared since lately this is what she had been doing.

"Follow me" her dad told her as she followed behind him.

"Uuuh ,seems like someone is in trouble" she walked past some attachmentees ,if that is a name , who weirdly looked like they were in some kind of competition with her. How funny.

"If only you could mind your own business" she whispered to herself knowing that they would hear her. Her father welcomed her for a seat.

"Now ,Ria ,I have to ask you?"she nodded.

"Have you met anyone, I don't know how to frame this question" he looked frustrated " have you met anyone who claims to be anything to you?"

"Claims to be what?"

"Family, cousin,friend just something" he didn't look so good ,even during the meeting he wasn't. Something was bothering him.

Something serious.

"What's wrong dad, is there something wrong?" She asked worriedly.

"It's.." he stopped and swung his chair as he looked at the view outside "nevermind Ria, it's nothing"

"Dad?"

"Really, it's nothing,but if something out of the normal happens to you just inform ,ok?"

"I will" she still wasn't contented with his answer and assurances and she would find out. Her phone vibrated in her pocket immediately after she left his office.

"Hey ,June how are you?" She smiled happily. This girl definitely brought her joy.

'Family, cousin, friend' wait a minute, why was he so afraid of her finding somebody else as family.

"Hello?"

"Oh ,hi , am good ,how are you?" ger mind was totally not there with her sister.

"Am good but bored , how's the company doing?"

"It's doing great too, how may I help?"

"Must I call you for help, but now that you mentioned about I need you tod something for me" June replied and from the tone of her voice,she was very serious about this matter.

"Ok, tell me about it"

Khalifa's POV

Black Mansion.

"So you think that he's better than the rest?" Khalifa asked his sister who had been blabbering about her new lover. She loved and he could see that but love is a very overly estimated thing. This was the problem with vee ,she trusted people too fast and mostly too fast. That's why she would always end up hurt.

"Yeah" she said looking back at Evan who simply smiled back at her.

"I don't trust him at all and don't try to convince me again, I want to leave now"

"It's fine if you don't and one more thing, there's this ritual that's been performed by some witches here in school and Evan told me that they are waiting for someone or thing to awaken or arise " she shrugged her shoulders, " I didn't understand the concept but something will happen Ina couple of days from now"

He frowned a little" ok thanks dear sister,if anything sinister happens around here ,call me , don't call Trissy yet" he told her and melancholy filled her face.

"He'll be fine ,I trust him on this last one" she said and hugged him and he gladly hugged her back.

She was the only lucky woman to hug him as much he wished to.

"Ok bye" his business here was over for now.

He left.
