Chapter 2

Mr. Sterling asked me about the conversation my mother had with me. I told him that , I told my mother that I'll accept it unless I get a car on my own.

" Your mother told me about that but I totally disagree with you. You're just 17 years and you're not old enough to own a car. Besides you don't know how to drive" my dad stated 

" But you can hire a driver for me please. My friends have a car on their own, we're of the same age dad. Please dad, you promised to do anything for me. Don't fail your promise" I told my dad.

" Okay, now let's make a deal. You'll start going to the new school and next week I'll surprise you with your car" he assured me.

" Really!, then deal accepted, I love you dad" I hugged him.

It was dinner time that evening, we sat at the dining table to have our dinner. They were served by the maids. We started chatting as we enjoyed our meals. My dad told us that the company is growing and he's very glad that things are going on well. For fifteen years now, no other company has been able to reach their standard. It's quite heartwarming. My mom smiled and told him that he's worked so hard to get this company on its toes so no one will even dare compete with him in this position. We were very excited to have a very hardworking father and husband like Mr. Sterling.

After dinner, I decided to go out with her friends again before going to school the next week. I informed my dad about my intentions but he didn't agree with me. He told me to stay back and get prepared for my new school. 

" No dad, I'm going to miss my friends and I have to spend some time with them because I'm not going to see them again". I stated.

" Okay but come home early," he told me 

I told him that I'll come early before he knows it. 

I got dressed and went out to meet my friends. 

My mom entered the bedroom after giving the daughter and father some privacy. 

" She's going out again right?" She inquired.

He answered affirmatively.

She really wished I would listen to her and stop going out because I'm the heiress to the company. 

I went to sleep over at her friend's house,and spent the weekend over there. We went out to have fun and enjoy ourselves. A guy called Alexander approached me that night,held my waist and asked me to dance with him. I slapped him and told him to stay away from me. The guy got hurt and went back to sit with his friend.

" I told you that she'll not accept you but you didn't mind me, now see you groaning in pain" his friend mocked him.

" She's beautiful, I'm gonna try my luck the next time I see her," he told his friend.

I wanted to leave that place because I hated to see the face of the guy who tried to harass me. I told my friends that we should go. They weren't really happy with that but what I said was final. We drove back home.

In our mansion, someone called the landline phone, then the maid cleaning the house took the call. " Hello Sir, there's a client who urgently needs your presence here" the voice came out. 

" Who's this?" the maid asked.

" I'm the secretary of the Radiant Treasures company, we need our boss urgently" she told the maid.

" Okay hold on, I'm going to call him right now" the maid told her.

The maid went to call Mr Sterling that there's someone on the phone. He came to pick the call and was told that a client needs his presence urgently.

He told him to tell the person that he doesn't work on weekends but the secretary told him that the client threatens to stop purchasing their goods when he doesn't come.

Mr Sterling had no option than to attend to the client immediately.

" Tell my wife that there's an urgent call in the company. I'm going to meet a client right away" he told the maid to inform my mom.

He got to the office and went to meet the client in his office. He welcomed her and asked her of her reason for calling him.

The client told him that she he had a problem with products she received two days ago. She told Mr Sterling that it's not a quality product as they told her. The gold in the chains she purchased has started discoloring and ever since she started doing business with them, she's never encountered such a problem before, so she wonders how that came about.

Mr Sterling was surprised because there hasn't been any complaints from a client ever since he started the business, this is the very first time he's getting this complain.

"I totally understand your frustration. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Rest assured, we will investigate this matter and work to resolve it promptly to ensure your satisfaction." 

He assured her.

He then asked her to give him the decolored items so that he can replace it with a better one. He called the secretary to tell the sales guy to bring him some chains for him to check.

The guy brought it to him and it was totally different from the one the client brought. 

He gave her the new ones and told her that these ones have good quality.

He suspected something fishy in the company. He thought that there might be an intruder in the company doing those things.

He told the sales guy to call his secretary to come to his office as soon as possible.
