Vivian came down to the living room downstairs, wearing a long gown and which it fabric was made from cotton. She packed her long black hair to the back and dressing lovely. She wasn’t going out, just decided to dress like that to make herself happy and in case if they had visitor.
She came downstairs to have her own breakfast, and it was some minutes after Alex and his father had left the house. Vivian had the gift of drawing and painting of object and human. That was what she always do when she was at their house, and most people known her for that. Even Alex known; those times when they were doing their online dating, she used to send her drawing and paints to him.
Alex had a popular site that time that people used to post different things and people all over the world were there. So, during that time he used to help Vivian to post her drawing there and which used to give her income and popularity. It was when Alex disappeared into air five years ago, and the site too went down that Vivian didn’t have the opportunity again.
She was still doing it after Alex disappearance because that was what she loved, but she stopped it finally after gotten married to Ryan. The marriage wasn’t what she was happy for, so this really affects her.
One of the maids came out from the kitchen, and started dishing food inside the plate for her. Vivian was sitting on the chair; rest her two hands on the table and watching the maid as she was dishing food for her.
She moved the plate closer, took a fork and started eating. She was putting the second meal in her mouth when her phone started ringing and showing ‘BABY GIRL’ it was Maya that she saved her contact as ‘Baby girl’
“Hello girl, how are you?” Vivian said with low voice, and removed the fork from her mouth.
“Daddy has arrived!” That was the first statement she uttered, and with anger. Maya was inside her bathroom, walking around and with anger showed all over her.
“Oh great, but why are you sounding like this? It’s like you are angry” Vivian said with low voice.
“Yes, I am and it your so called Father that caused it” Maya replied harshly, and trying to hide her temper.
“You and Father have offended each other again, because that is when you use to say ‘your father’ well what happened?” Vivian asked with calm voice.
“I have been suspicious about that his suddenly travelling and I know that something will come out of it. So his travelling is to go and bring another wife. A girl of his children’s age and a gold-digger” Maya replied.
“Calm down, and let me get you right. Daddy brings a wife or visitor?” Vivian asked and dropped the folk.
“A wife, even she had brought her belongings to this house. That girl is stupid, and if you see the rubbish she and Daddy are doing in the house so disgusting” Maya said out of anger.
“Daddy remarried, and he didn’t bother to tell us first. He just travelled and bought a stranger to us” Vivian said calmly and so surprised.
“That idiot even has the gut to introduce herself as my stepmother, that gold-digger” Maya said and laughed out bitterly.
“Sister, I call you so that to come over and tell father to take that gold-digger out of our house. If you don’t show up on time, I will do it and you know me. Someone will end up at hospital today—“
“Calm down, and don’t try to do anything stupid. I am coming right now” Vivian quickly shut Maya up as she was talking. Vivian known that Maya was really a troublesome girl.
“I will be on my way now, so calm down” Vivian said and ended the call. She left the dining room, took one of the cars key as she got down to the living room. She opened the door and got down to the compound.
“I received an urgent call from home, so tell Mom that I have to go” Vivian talked to one of the security guards and went to the car that she took it key. She entered into the car, and started it and drove out.
*******
Alex, their father and with two bodyguards were walking along the company’s corridor. Alex and his father were walking beside each other, when the bodyguards were behind them. All of them were going to the conference room in the company, and it was to introduce Alex to the important staffs of the company.
One of the bodyguards walked to the front as they got to the conference hall, opened the door widely and stepped back. Alex and his father entered into the room, and the bodyguard closed the door behind them. He and his partner stayed outside, standing beside the door.
“Good morning Sir” the staffs that were in the room greeted Alex’s father with respect. Ryan too was on seat, he was sitting on one of the chairs that was facing the staffs and at the left hand side of where their father was sitting. Alex too was sitting on the same roll, and he was at the right hand side of their father. Ryan crossed his legs, raised his neck up and busy rolling the pen on his hand.
“Thanks everyone for been here, and I am sorry for this emergency meeting. Its just come up like this” their father said with gentle voice. Their father was the chairman of the company so most of the staffs known him.
“Let’s go straight to the business. This is my son; his name is Alex and a Brother to Ryan. He is going to join his brother in running the activities of this company” he took a breath and drank little from the bottle water put down for him.
“As I am saying, he is going to be at the computer department and as the head there. He is the one that be controlling that department, and from now on computer department has stand alone and independent on its own” Ryan stopped rolling the pen as their father said so.
“Anything that is happening at computer department won’t concern the CEO at all. Alex is the one that own it and anything that he say is final” Ryan looked at their father and changed his look.
“So, secretary pass this round to everyone, and let them aware---“ their father was talking when Ryan got up and walking out of their father. The staffs looked at each other; and looking at Ryan going out.
“That is all, welcome Alex and take him to his department” their father said, got up and going after Ryan.
“Nice to meet you, welcome Sir” the staffs got up and started exchanging greetings with Alex.
Their father entered into the CEO’s office with Ryan; Ryan entered into desk and sat down on his chair. Their father looked at him for few minutes, drew the chair out and sat down at the front of him.
“What is that? Why did you walk out from the conference room when I am still on seat” their father said.
“Don’t you know that is an embracement” Their father said with loud voice.
“An embracement, but what you did is a honor to me right?” Ryan said with loud voice.
“You should have just divide the company into two, and make two of us the CEO then---“
“Watch your mouth and talk to me with respect” their father said with loud voice.
“Should I be watching my company running down, because my two sons turned themselves to an enemies and don’t want to stand beside each other. Computer department is there useless, no capable person there and that is the most important department in this company” their father took a breath.
“This is business, and not family matter so I have to do anything that will make the business grows” their father said and he was angry.
“Alright, I have heard you Mr Chairman” Ryan said with low voice as he opened the laptop.
“What did you just call me?” Their father asked with gentle voice.
“This is business environment right, and I just addressed you as your position in this company” Their father got up as he said so, and tapping his figures on the table.
“See you at home” he said, and going out. Their father opened the door and left. He came out to the corridor and leaving with the bodyguards walking behind him.
