" "Good morning ma'am!!; greeted Lily as I arrived. Ma'am are you alright?!!; she asked as I entered into my office.
"Yes! and why do you ask?!!; I asked I her.
"Ma'am I was concerned after what happened to Mr. Lisbon at the party of his daughter. Thank God you didn't get in some of the gun shot!!; she exclaimed in a worried tone.
"Thanks for your concern but there's no need to worry! as you can see, I'm fine; I exclaimed. Are they all ready for the meeting!; I asked.
"Yes ma'am, we're only waiting for you!; she back in reply.
"Alright let's go,! I exclaimed as I stood up and headed over for my meeting. We talked over some financial issues and the marketing of trade stocks and finally came to an agreement as the meeting ended. I walked out with Lily consistently following me.
"Ma'am, you have a meeting with Mrs. Mann this afternoon at the newly opened restaurant near the company!; said Lily.
"Okay, is that all?!; I asked with a cold expression.
"Ma'am! please the Harvey's and Mr. Wilford are in your office waiting for you!; she said anxiu as I paused.
"I told you not to let anyone into my office when I'm not in!!!; I exclaimed furiously.
"I'm... I'm sorry ma'am, I won't do that again!; said Lily as I sighed.
"Nevermind! you can go! just bring over the documents into my office in 30 minutes time; I exclaimed as I entered into my office.
Oh! Miss Velmot, you're in!; said a very familiar voice.
"And you are?!; I purposely asked after seeing who it was.
"Daniel!.. Daniel Harvey and this is my daughter Luan Harvey; he introduced.
"Oh! Daniel Harvey!!? right?!, I'm sorry your loss, Clair! that's the name of your daughter right?!; I purposely asked.
"Oh! that worthless Imp., she's nothing but a disgrace to my family, there's no need for your grievance! he said as I clenched my fist holding back my anger.
"Mr. Harvey! it's bad manners to bad mouth the dead!; I said with a calm expression.
"But, I'm not saying anything wrong now! she's known to all of her bad reputation, that shameless girl was of no worth! she's nothing but disappointment; he said as I raged in anger within me almost about to snap but I immediately calmed myself down.
"Alright Mr. Harvey, it's not my place to judge your family affairs! have a seat; I said as I walked over to my seat and sat down completely ignoring the presence of Luan and Jacob as they shot be deadly glares.
"I'm here for a business co-operation with your company!; he said.
"Business Co-operation? and with MY company?!!; I asked feeling suprised that this same man rejected me as a nobody but had now come to me for a business co-operation with my reincarnated body!.
"Yes I would like for us to join hands and become partners maybe like shareholders!!; he said.
"Partners?!! Ha! with you!. And what will I benefit from that?! what will I gain from becoming partners with the likes of you😒! Shareholders 😒! Ha! that's just a waste of my time 😒!; I said.
"Emm... but please Miss Velmot, becoming partners....
"Dad! there's no need in begging this fool; said Luan as Mr. Daniel furiously slapped her across the face.
"Dad😦!!! you slapped me?!!😡 just because of this fool; she cried out.
"You shut your mouth before I shut it for you 😠!!; he exclaimed.
"But father in-law?...; called out Jacob as I interrupted him.
"Mr. Harvey?!!; I sternly called out. I could have considered your proposal but seeing how ill breed your arrogant daughter is! just made me lost interest in the proposal; I exclaimed.
"But...but please do consider Miss Velmot?!; he pleaded.
"That's enough!! I'd ask you to leave my office right now!!; I exclaimed as I pointed to the door.
"But?!...
"Leave now! or I'll get security!!; I exclaimed as Lily walked in.
"Lily! would you get....
"There's no need for that, we're leaving!!; he said as they walked out full of regrets and anger. I knew that the business of my so called father was falling, I had people hack into their system donated all their money to charity, now he barely has any financial stability in his company and would fall without support.
"Lily!!; I called out. From henceforth I don't want allowing people into my office when I'm not in or else!!!; I exclaimed with cold glare as she trembled in fear.
"Yes...Yes Ma'am, I'm really sorry; said as she kept trembling in fear.
"You may leave!!; I said as I wove my hand in the air.
* 2 days later*
I was busy working in my office and was quite tensed because today way the day we were to all gather for a meeting. The very thought of it gave me throbbing head aches.
"Ma'am! here are the documents you requested; said Lily as knocked and entered.
"Bring them!; I ordered as she placed it right in my hand.
"Ma'am?! won't you be having lunch?! asked Lily.
"No! I'm quite busy, I don't have time to go out for lunch; I exclaimed as someone suddenly barged in.
"Rose!!! where are you!!; ; said Tina as she entered. Rose! I'm here to give you my wedding invitation; she said
"Wedding invitation 🤨?!; I asked in surprise.
"Yes😊! I'm getting married in a week time; she said joyfully.
"But! when were you engaged?!; I asked feeling rather confused.
"Actually, it's been six months since I've been engaged, you just noticed and never bothered asking; she said.
"Oh I'm sorry 😔!
"Well I'll forgive you this time because I want you to be my braids maid; she exclaimed.
"Alright! sure I will!!; I said as we went on chatting.
"So Rose?! have you also considered marriage?!; she asked out of nowhere.
"Marriage?! where did that question come from?!; I asked.
"Come on Rose! you're 26 and you're not even in a relationship yet?!!; she said as I suddenly stopped what I was doing.
"Marriage huh😔?!; I said inwardly.
