I was shaken to read his message to me. We headed to the cafeteria and saw Salvador alone there. Wearing big eyeglasses and carrying a book.
Ariana whispered to me. "The handsome."
"He's not my type. I like Zeke." I whispered to her back. It bothered me.
Just like before, Beishen helped me with our projects and assignments. Almost everything I would do he would do for me.
"Hello, Chloe!" Gloria berry suddenly stepped to my side. I put the five books I just bought at the library here earlier. The library here sells books, especially for students. Papa is already one of the sponsors for the requirements of this school, so every year there are new books.
There is also a building laboratory. On those three floors, each room is full of computers. You will swipe your violet card on the side of its automatic door as payment and even all day you can use the computer. The violet card is purchased here. At least a few more people will be free here in the cafeteria as long as they have a violet card. Only a few students have it and I am already among them.
During class, teachers collect cell phones and other gadgets. Each year has its own school bus. cars and bikes are not allowed, especially if you are a student, depending on whether you have a driver.
"Yes, Gloria?" I don't like Gloria's habit. She's a bitch. Really a bitch.
She slung her Gucci bag neatly over her shoulder. I was obviously envious. I took a deep breath and picked up the khaki Hermes bag.
She cleared her throat. "Where are your nerd best friend? Are you bored?"
"Ariana is not a nerd Gloria. She's a childhood friend."
"Whatever. Get out! You're blocking my locker. You might miss the school bus."
"I don't ride the school bus. I have my own car and a driver. Excuse me."
I grinned and bit my lower lip because I knew Gloria was annoyed with me again.
I was in our SUV when dad called me.
"Hello, dad!"
"I'm going to a meeting. Do you want to come along?"
I smiled. If there was the first man I loved in this world it was papa. He is dream of being the daddy of all children. He gives me what I want and makes me happy. And for a change, I'm being a good child for him.
"Really dad? Where do you have a meeting?"
"To my partner. To Hall. We'll eat at the restaurant you want if you want, then. "
"Yes, dad! I'm going home now"
"Yes, I'll wait for you. Take care."
When I arrived at the mansion, I did not go straight to papa. I went straight to my room and searched for something nice to wear.
I pulled on the blue colored dress. I took a half bath and wore it. I paired it with a white sling bag and combed my long hair.
In the living room, dad is waiting for me. He smiled when he saw me.
"My baby is really a grown woman now."
I frowned and hugged dad. "Papa I'm not a baby anymore."
"I know."
I was nervous during the ride until we reached the towering Tower of Don Brandon.Its interior is a mixture of blue and white. Before entering, a big 'H' will open for you. Like the brand of their clan.
My hair stood on end as I looked at that brand. black and intimidating similar to how intimidated I was with Beishen.
I regret that I didn't bring Beishen's laminated collage pictures. If I brought it I might be able to give it to him now.
We were with papa's secretary when we entered a room. Just as there is. My heart pounded when I saw Mr Brandon first child, Barclay, Beishen frowned as we look each other. I clung to dad's elbow when I felt my knee shake.
Mr Brandon with his two sons Barclay and Beishen, and his nephew Stella
"Good morning Brandon My dear, Chloe . " papa introduced me.
I smiled at them not looking at Beishen
"Hello."
He shook my hand. "She's so young and pretty Jerry." He said to papa.
Barclay also shook my hand and Stella stood up and smiled. Beishen stood up last and I accepted his hand.
When our hands came together, everything seemed to be in slow motion. It's like I want to picture our hands.
His fingers are big and long. My hand looks so small.
"Hija." papa laughed when he saw that my hold on Beishen's hand-lasted. Beishen sighed and sat down. Her cousin Stella coughed dramatically.
To my shame, I just sat down suddenly and bowed.
I just listen to their conversation. they talked about pure business and transactions. And lands mostly in sugarcane are discussed.
They shook hands after the conversation. There were smiles on their lips and I knew they had a good idea and agreement.
"That's also a big asset to us Jerry. Thank you so much." Mr Brandon.
"It's a pleasure Brandon."
I saw three Hall talking not far from papa.
"Don't you say you're with another girl tonight Zeke?" Stella asked with a smile. Barclay just shook his head at them.
"What are you talking about Stella? I'm busy."
"Talk to my ass, Zeke. I know you."
Suddenly Zeke's cell phone rang. He apologized and came out first.
"Hmm, papa excuse me huh? I'm just having a bathroom break."
"All right. I'll wait for you here."
I nodded and left that room.
I looked for Zeke and saw he was talking to someone on his phone not far away
