Liam and his assistant arrive at the Smith Mansion to see Old Master Smith. The Smith Mansion is situated in the heart of the country, it is one of the most expensive mansions in the country.
It is a modern comfortable spacious mansion with more than 15 master bedrooms, a well-furnished living room, and a large kitchen with more than 20 maids working in the kitchen. There is a magnificent swimming pool ideal garden for sunbathing. a garage where varieties of limited edition cars are.
The total workers the Smith has is 100 workers taking care of the mansion, the garden is a big garden beautified with flowers, the neighborhood is quiet and calm because the mansion does not have many houses around it just a few Mansion in the neighborhood.
It is a peaceful place to live.
Old Master Smith has one rule when it comes to maintaining the household rule is that "all his children with their families should all live under the same roof with him and his wife".
Everybody abides by the rule except Liam the black sheep of the family, if everyone says no his answer will be yes. as long as he was managing the business very well Old Master Smith allows him to do anything he wishes to do which made the rest of the grandchildren to be jealous of him.
Old Master Smith was already waiting for Liam and Alfred to arrive, he was sitting in the living room sipping hot herbal tea.
Liam and Alfred arrive at the living room they both bow respectfully to the old master.
Old Master Smith place the cup of tea in his hand on the small table in front of him, he stand up with his golden walking stick "Let's talk after we have a delicious meal" he said and went to the dining the two followed him obediently.
Old master Smith is a bald short old man in his 70s, though there's no sign of him dying yet he wants the company to be in a good hand, he is a man that always looks at a character of a person to judge them, he knew Liam wasn't a greedy person and he is the perfect person to rule the business.
Even though Liam looks so perfect to him, the only thing he thinks that is missing in Liam's life is a wife.
He believes that if Liam gets married to the daughter of a powerful businessman it will help the company to grow very well and give them more power in the business world, but he was disappointed because he has an informant that gives him information about Liam's everyday life.
The last information his informant gave him about Liam was that he was hooking up with different kinds of famous models and actresses without having any interest to date any of them, so the main reason why he called Liam for an urgent meeting was to discuss Liam's marriage.
The Smith's Butler arrive with varieties of meals in a food cart, he placed them gently on the dining table.
At the dining table, there was a big plate that contains lobster frittata, a plate containing posh pie, another plate with moose cheese, a small tray of grilled chicken, a big bowl of oxtail soup with a screaming eagle Cabernet 1992 wine which cost $500,000 to step their food down. It doesn't look like normal eating, it looks like a feast.
"Thank you for the food" the three send in unison as part of the table manner. The butler was standing on one side for them to finish eating.
Once they finish eating their meals the maids cleared the dining and the butler went back to the kitchen.
They went back to the living room to discuss,
"Liam I must say, you are handling the company very well, and am proud of you," Old Master said proudly with a smile on his wrinkled face.
Liam knew the discussion won't end well "Thank you grandpa " he thanked the Old man for complimenting him. Alfred was sitting quietly without interfering in their discussion.
"Am having complains from the shareholders that the company might face loss of stocks if any of your dating scandals are exposed by the media" he said with a worried expression.
Liam smirked "You don't have to worry about my dating scandal, no media will dare to publish anything out, if they do so that is the end for them" he assured his grandpa.
"You don't have to worry about our stock depreciating am good at doing a perfect job" he assured him.
"I know Uncle is the one feeding you bad news, he is the governor of the state and he wants his son Terry to be the CEO so that he can have all the power which can't be possible because Terry doesn't have what it takes to be ruler," Liam said proudly.
"Prove them wrong by getting married, you brat!" Old Master Smith said out of the blue. Liam and Alfred choked on their saliva at the same time.
"Did you two have anything you are hiding? he asked with a suspicious look. "Alfred spill the bean" he stared at the assistant coldly.
Alfred stands up and bows to the Old Man "There's is nothing hidden Sir, we were just shocked Sir" he said defending his boss.
Liam was looking at his grandpa "Grandpa you know am not a fan of marriage, it's toxic Ewwww" he said with a disgusted look.
" A marriage doesn't have to be based on love Liam, you will use it as a strong weapon to control the business world, it will give you more power, and you will be having a date with Mr. Fredrick's only daughter the Oil tycoon this week Friday at our hotel, be nice to her" Old Master Smith didn't wait for his reply because he knew he would find and excuse so he went to his room without hearing any excuse.
"I hate dates for crying out loud" he complained but couldn't go against the old man's word because of the respect he had for him.
Alfred heard giggles of women from outside, he peeped through the window "Boss, I think the women of the house are around" he called attention to his boss who wasn't happy about the decision his grandpa made.
"You meant Grandma Margaretta, my mom and Uncle's Phillip wife," he asked. Alfred nodded positively.
"We have to get out of here!" he exclaimed.
Liam doesn't like having any conversations with the women, he only talks to his mother if necessary.
He hates having a conversation with them because Grandma Margaretta will always disturb him to bring his fiance home, and while his Mom and Uncle's Phillip wife are always arguing and bragging about how successful their children are, he isn't ready for any drama.
Before the women entered the living room, Alfred and Liam escaped through the kitchen exit.
"Welcome back Grandma Margaretta" the butler bowed respectfully, he also shows respect to the two women.
Grandma Margaretta was an aristocratic lady with few words, she has the title 'Madam Smith.
The title should have been passed to one of her children's wives but she doesn't believe they can handle the position because they always go against each other just to get the favor of Grandma which she thinks is so childish of them.
The old lady was tired due to shopping "I need a hot tub" she ordered. "It will be prepared right away Madam Smith" the Butler bowed.
Madam Smith went straight to her room to rest, the butler rang the button on his hand, it looks like remote control, and it is used to notify the maids if any of the Smiths needed something.
Two maids arrive wearing the same uniform, and they both bowed their heads "Madam Smith needs a hot bath now in her room, go prepare it" he ordered them. They both bowed in approval and went to attend to Madam Smith.
The butler collect the shopping bag from Lola and Miranda "It shall be arranged at the closet without any mix up" he said and bowed.
"I think I saw my son's car, is he around," Lola asked excitedly.
" Yes, but he left through the kitchen exit," he said truthfully.
"Looks like someone doesn't want to see his mother," Miranda said with a hint of sarcasm and left the living room to rest in her own space
"This ugly witch, I will show you your place," Lola said and went to her room angrily. The Butler continues his work in making sure everything is in order.
Liam was sitting in the owner's seat in the car, while Alfred was driving smoothly "Boss your phone is ringing" he called his boss's attention who was lost in his thoughts.
Liam picked up the call "Hello Mom" he said.
"Is this how you will treat your mother, you were in the mansion and you couldn't wait for me to arrive, this is so unfair, you are my only child" she started shedding crocodile tears.
"Ummm, Mom I am busy right now, will talk to you later," he said and hung up on his mother.
"These people will make me go crazy, I need a long vacation without any disturbance" he complained.
"Boss, home or office," Alfred asked shortly.
" It has been a long day for me and it getting late already, hook me up with one of my ladies, I am going home" he ordered.
"Yes sir" Alfred didn't waste time, he called one of the ladies to come to satisfy his boss.

"Bighead, how has your day been," Ezra asked as he approaches them. Heemani stands up from her and hugs her brother "It has been a hell " she confessed.
