Chapter 13; Quinlin's Rule

HE WAS in front of the mirror adjusting his neck tie when the door bell rang. His forehead wrinkled, his not expecting anyone at this very early in the morning.

"Kysler?" His forehead wrinkled seeing his brother outside the door.

"Good morning bro." Kysler smiled.

He opened the door widly for his brother. "What do you want? It's to early."

"I just drop by to drink some coffee." His grinning ear to ear.

"Asshole." He shook his head and close the door not believing his idiot of a brother.

Kysler laughed and went to the kitchen uninvited. "You want some coffee too?"

"Yes please." He followed his brother and sat on the bar stool in front of the kitchen counter. "Why weren't you at the party last night?"

"How did you know? Don't tell me you attend the party?"

He just strug his shoulder off. " So, why didn't you come?"

Kysler put the cup of coffee in front of Mikael. "We had a sudden shoot last night."

"I see." He said and took a sip on his coffee.

"How's the problem in the company?"

"The stolen gowns have been returned unscratched, but Angie is still not caught yet."

"That's great, and don't worry to much Mikael, Bricks will take care of that woman." He just nodded. "Are you going to the dinner dad spoken?"

"I don't know, how about you?"

"No. Maybe I was in Japan that time."

"I see. By the way, what's really bring you here? So early in the morning."

"I just drop by, to check on you."

"I'm not a child for you to do such things, you idiot."

"Just be thankful. Your brother still care for you even if your hot-headed asshole of a brother."

"Just get use to it. I'm my father son, after all. So does you?" Mikael smirk to Kysler.

"No! You are wrong Mikael. I'm my mother son. Her sweet, loving and caring handsome son."

"Tsk. You and your high self."

"What? I'm just stating the facts here brother." Kysler grinning ear to ear.

"Bastard!" Mikael shake his head to his brother.

"I knew it." They both look at the woman who suddenly shown up. They too busy talking to each other that they didn't notice when she came. "My two big brother is here."

Mikael did not wonder how Venice get in because she knew the code of his condo, she have his keys too. "Why are you here?"

"It's so boring to our house."

"And you chose to come here uninvited?" Kysler shake his head. "I did not know that Mikael condo is now a sightseeing place."

"Yes! Why? Is it bad?"

"You shouldn't come here Venice. You should stay with mom instead of roaming around." Mikael said.

"I'm done accompanying her Shopping yesterday and the other day. She's the one who asked me to enjoy myself while I'm in the country." Venice sat on the bar stool next to Mikael.

"Why did you come here?" Kysler ask.

"I'm bored to death big brother Ky. I don't have any friends here to hangout, so I chose to bother big brother Mikael."

"Mikael have no time for you. You should come to me instead."

"No, thank you. I know you too very well big Ky. You won't spend your time with me without teasing me, and worse, you won't stop irritates me until I cried."

"Hey, that to harsh lil' sis. I'm not that bad to you."

"Yes you are but don't worry, I still love you brother Ky. But I love big brother Mikael most. Right big brother Mikael?" Mikael just shake his head and mess Venice hair, like he always do. "Big brother Mikael!" She protested and pushed his hand away from her head.

Kysler laugh. "Serves you right lil'sis."

"I hate you both now." She pouted her lips but look at Mikael sweetly. "Big brother Mikael."

"What?"

"Can't I really work to your company?" She lovingly hold his arms and lean her head to his shoulder.

"No. We'll both be in trouble with dad when I let you work to my company."

"Handsome Ky, how about you, can I work to your hotel—"

"No! Like Mikael said, we will be in trouble with dad. He'll so scary when that old man gets mad. You know how it feels Venice, so you better behave yourself lil' sis."

Venice frowned. "What daddy thinking when he made the rule that a Quinlin is not allowed to work in his own company if you are not in the highest position."

She's right. That's why they can't accept Venice or their other cousins to work in their company.

He turned to Venice when a particular place pop-up his mind where she can work. "Come with me." He sipped his coffee before getting up and went to his room to get his car key and his suit.

"Where are you taking her Mikael?" Kysler asked as he went to the living room next to the astonished Venice.

He didn't answer his twin. "Kysler just lock the door when you leave. Let's go Venice." He turned to his younger sister and went out first.

"Where are we going?" Venice kept asking him while their on they're way.

"You will find out." He was started to get annoyed. "Can you be quiet for a sec?" He took his cellphone on the dash board and dialed Danielle's number.

His eyebrows met when she's not answering his calls. He tried to call her again for the second time and she still not answering and when he was about to end the call someone finally take his call. "What took you so long to answer my calls?" He said very pissed and annoyed, not waiting for the other person on the line to spoke.

"I'm sorry. I'm outside the office and I forgot my phone in my bag. Why did you called so early in the morning Mr. Quinlin?"

His forehead wrinkled even more. "What did I tell you to call me? Have you forgotten already?" He get more irritates than he already is.

"No one can hear me, so don't worry and just get to the point Mr. Quinlin. I'm busy, I have no time to argue with you."

"Just do what I say Ms. Riccardi."

"Whatever! Whatever! Now can you tell me why you called? Just make it fast."

"Someone need a job."

"So?"

"I want you to hire her on your Boutique."

"And why would I do that?"

"Because I said so."

"Hey you don't have—"

"Bye sweetheart! I see you when I see you." He turned off the call before she could speak in protest.

Venice stared at him in astonishment. "Who are you talking to brother? Why did you call her sweet—"

"You'll meet her." He interrupted what she was saying. "Stop asking and just seat still."

"You're so rude to me." Venice whispered to herself but Mikael still heard her.

"I heard what you say Venice Keith."

"What? I'm just telling the truth, you know, my very rude brother."
