[One week later]
{ Cassandra office during board meeting}
” Ma what are we going to to the stocks that are going down ” Mr Wu one of my major shareholders asked.
” Am still looking for a solution ” I answered. If not for Hazel I would have not answered that question , seriously I don’t know how and why the stocks are falling and also at this rate , it’s giving me a lot of headache.
” What nonsense are you spouting out , for how long would it take you to look for a solution , you better look for a solution or else…” Mr Mark one of the uncontrollable mouth and major shareholder said.
” Or else what , infact sell all your shares and leave my company your service is no longer needed, meeting over ” I said harshly and left .
Am not gonna leave that man easily , I’ll make sure I wreck his pathetic life miserable to the extent that he would be able to rise to his feet anymore.
” Cassie , Cassie , Cassie wait ” Hazel said as I stopped
” Now what I don’t need you to counsel me right now cos am not in the mood ” I said
” No no no , that’s not what I want to say , um actually I’ll need to leave the country for two weeks ” she said
” WHAT ! ! ! Hazel are you gonna ditch me now that I need you the most ” I said in annoyance
” Of course not , it’s just two weeks I promise I won’t spend more than that ” she said
” Hmm ok so when are you going ” I asked
” Am going to California tomorrow ” she said
” What !!! Since when have you been planning this ? ” I asked
” Last month ” she replied
” And you didn’t bother to tell me about it ” I said
” I wasn’t sure if I was going or not ” she replied
” Hmmph ok , you can go but don’t extend it cos I won’t like it ” I said
” Yes boss ” she said as she dashed away .
I was in my office still looking for a solution to solve the problem at hand .
‘oh God how am I going to solve this problem ‘ I thought and heaved a sigh almost immediately my phone rang.
” Mom gosh has she found out already ,f_ck” I said
[ Phone conversation ]
Me : hello mom
Mom : how you doing
Me : am good just stressed a little bit
Mom : well actually …..
Dad : I need you to come back home now
Me : dad
Dad : don’t dad me just listen
Me : ok I’ll be on my way .
Good dad is so angry , it’s not my fault entirely I thought as I packed my bag and left the office, am so messed up .
[ At home ]
” Where’s dad ?” I asked one of the servant
” He’s in the library” she answered as I walked swiftly to the library
I could hear the argument between the both of them , I entered the library .
“It’s good that you are here , now what’s this ” dad asked as he threw a newspaper at me , I looked at it , this is so messed up .
” Dad you don’t know how to explain this ” I said
” What nonsense are you ranting , you don’t know how to explain this , I let you take over the company since I was sure that you could handle it , but no this is what I got in return , I let you handle it in your way even though I didn’t like it one bit , even you staffs have been complaining about you but I pleaded with them to cope with you , and again why did you tell Mark to get the f_ck outta the office , are you out of your mind ” dad screamed in anger .
“Take it easy dear , stop shouting at her , she’s just a kid ” mom said
“Listen to what you are saying , she’s just a kid , she’s 21 for crying out loud , she’s an adult ” dad said
” So Mark reported me to you , he’s so dead am gonna ruin his life and that of his generation to come ” I said to dad
” Are you normal , am talking about how we are going to fix this mess you created and you are here thinking of how you will destroy someone’s life and his generation , now look at the child you called a kid , sometimes Cassandra you make me regret ever giving birth to a monster like you , seriously I don’t know where you got this attitude from , do you think I am happy with the way you behave and the way people call you Jezebel uh ” dad said
” Dad pls am not a monster ok and let this people say what they want to say it’s none of my business and stop letting out your frustration on me , am getting sick of it already and I am looking for a solution to the problem ” I said and rolled my eyes
“Well this time around you are going to do it my way ” dad said
” Dad ” I called
” Am tired of your nonsense Cassandra so now you listen to me , you are lucky to receive a marriage contract at this crucial time from the Willow ” dad said as he paused
” Why would they send a marriage contract , I don’t wanna marry now , I don’t even know what’s their business with our problem right now ” i said and dad face palmed himself.
” Can you see how stupid your daughter is , well you have no choice kiddo , they also gave you an opportunity to choose between their two sons Miguel and Alexander and I want your answer tomorrow or else I’ll choose myself ” dad said and walked out .
Mom gave me a pleading look .
” I’ll see what I can do to change your dad’s mind if you don’t want to marry now but still look for a solution to all these ” mom said and went out
This is utterly rubbish , I Never imagined my life would be like this in how many weeks .
