FIVE MONTH LATER
"Alright, meeting dismiss," I said and walk out from the meeting room.
"Miss, next you have a meeting with our ambassador from Japan in one hour. After that, you're free." I nod my head and my personal assistant walks out of my office. I look through the file for my next meeting. This five-month has been so hectic to me because my dad wants me to be independent and manage my own company. I am quite relieved that my dad doesn't let me manage it alone. Niall has been with me since the very beginning until now. I am so thankful to have a big brother like him, at least helps me a lot. Even though sometimes he still likes to prank me even when we're in office.
Niall will get married next month, so he's not going to be in this office that often. That's why I've been so busy. I cannot believe he will leave the house too. I am quite sad but I will not be sad when the twins are out of that house. I will be the happiest woman on earth. I close my eyes and then my personal assistant knocked on my door. "Yes."
"Miss, it's time." I look at my watch and it's time for my next meeting. I take the file and walk out of my office.
*******
I'm finally free from all this work. I'm on my way to go home but then my phone ringing. I stop midway and look at my phone. It's my dad's calling. "Yes, dad? I'm on my way home, now." I said.
"Good, I need you to meet me right now. I want to introduce you to our new client. I will share with you the location." I was about to say something to my dad but he ends the call after he said what he wants to say. I sigh and walk lazily in my car. My mood from hundred to zero real quick. I drive to the location that my dad sent just now. I really hate to be in this 'dinner' because I know they're going to talk about work for hours. After I arrive, I gt out of my car and walk inside the restaurant. The waiter brings me to the private room where my dad and his client are. I knocked on the door before opening it. The moment I open the door, I froze because this is not what I thought it going to be. I mean I do expect a client or two but this is not in my mind at all. It's like a board meeting right here. There are six men in this room including my dad. I feel hesitate to walk in right now. "Come in, Gia." My dad said and I quickly take a seat beside him. This is super awkward.
"This is my one and only daughter, Gia Florence. She's been managing one of my hotels here. The reason why I called her to come, it's because I want her to know more about business." And here we go the long and boring speech from my dad. I can say he just wants me to be successful like him and my brothers but I don't think this is the way. Just look at this gentleman in this room, they all look superly young and damn hot. I thought it's going to be an old man and something like that. I bet my life, all women want to be in my place right now. These four dazzling, hot CEO is not easy to meet and I am quite surprised to see them. I just sit beside my dad awkwardly because they keep talking about the project and work.
It's been two hours and they still discussing their new project while me, eating all the food in front of me without paying any attention to what they said. I am happy at least I'm not going to get boring for now. I can survive for two hours but I don't think I can survive for another two hours.
"So Gia, you got anything to say to them?"I am surprised when my dad asks me that. I was about to chock the food. I look at them all an just give a smile.
"I got nothing," I said after my mouth empty.
"Okay, well we will meet soon then." I take my bag and follow my dad to walk out of the room.
"I don't expect you to be in this behavior young lady." My dad said and look at me with a serious face and I know this time he is mad at me.
"I'm sorry dad, but I am bored. You guys keep talking about work and stuff. You know I don't like to hear all that." I reply.
"I ask you to come here because I want you to know how to deal with clients. You can't just let your brother help you forever. They have their own company and I want you to be independent." With that, he walks away and left me alone there. I sigh and walk to my car too and go home.
Today is exhausting. I walk to my room and plop on my bed. "Honey, are you okay? What's wrong?" My mom asks me. I turn to see her and sit up.
"I just want to be like a normal woman who can enjoy their life and don't have to worry about work or money because they got what they want. I like my job as an accountant before and I like my life but after dad wanted me to manage a company, I feel my life is gone. I thought to be the one and only daughter will make my life different from others. I guess it's not, I need to work really hard to earn money." I said and my mom hugs me.
"I know it's hard, but you know your dad. Once he said that no one can say no. He becomes like that because he loves you. He wants you to be independent, but... if you want to be free, why don't you get married too." I look at my mom and she just laughs at me. "I'm just joking." She said.
"You know I am bad at a relationship, mom. I will find one but this time, I need my time to search for the very right one. You just wait." I say and smile.
"Now, don't stress yourself and go take a shower. You stinky." She said and walk out of my room.

Much love from me

GiaSo, in all fairy tale stories, it will have a happy ending and I think this is my happy ending. Even though I don't know what will come and face us but for now, I feel happy that I finally get back with my love, Lucas Santiago. I don't know how to express my feelings but all I can say that I cannot stop smiling when he expresses his love for me. I love him with all my might right now. I don't think I can live without him anymore. I need him by my side just like he needs me in his life too. A few days ago, he propose me to be his girlfriend in a romantic way. The way he confessed and the way he looks at me with his eyes and the way he did everything that time makes me grateful that I never give up on him. *****He's
Gia"So, what you said inside is all true?" I ask him after our little kiss."Which one?""That you love me," I said and he looks away."Do you come here with your car?" He asks me obviously changing the topic."No, I told Brandon to send me here,""Come on, let's get you home," He said and walk to his car. I can say he didn't want to tell me that he loves me yet but that situation makes him said it. I smile at it and get into the passenger seat. "Are you really didn't mad at me?" He asks me while driving."To
Elizabeth"I'm claiming what's supposed to be mine," She said and then leave me standing alone in the middle of this big lobby. She is supposed to be hurt after what I just did and go away from my life. This is not what I want to happen. I need to do something in order to break her again and Lucas to hate her again.Why these two still can talk like they already in a good term?So hard to break them both apart. I guess hurt myself is not something big for them. We'll see if I can do more worse than this. I huff and walk back to my place.*****Gia
Gia"Good morning, dad." I kiss his cheek and take a seat next to Grayson. "Good morning to you too Brandon and Grayson," I said and humming on my favorite song. I take the bread and put jam on it."Someone in a good mood, today. Care to tell us?" Dad asks and I chuckle."Nothing, it's just a new start for my adventure," I said and take a bite of my bread. "You will know soon, oh, by the way, do we have any meeting with Santiago Enterprises?" I ask my dad and he looks at me like I've grown a horn on my head."Sis, are you sure you didn't hit your head somewhere last night? I think something is wrong with you today," Grayson said and put his palm on my forehead to see if anything
GiaAfter that incident three days ago, I decided to busy myself with work and meeting. I even try to not meeting with both of them at any streets or places. I've been avoiding all the contact that I have connected with Santiago Enterprises. I don't why I do all this but I think this is for the best. I know I should not be avoiding and hiding like this because it will look like I really did that but I have no choice. I don't want that psychopath to hurt me or my family or even Lucas. Is she can hurt herself, that is mean, she will be able to hurt people around her too."Gia?" I am back from my thoughts and look up at the door. "You seem to be bothered by something since Monday. Are you okay?" Niall asks. He closes the door and takes a seat on the chair in front of my desk.
Gia"What is going on here?!" Lucas's voice fills the room. "Gia! What are you doing? Put that glass down! Now!" He said and walk towards me and Elizabeth who is crying asking me to stop.What is going on here?I didn't do anything and here, Lucas is blaming me."Lucas, I didn't do anything. I swear to god!" I said defense myself because I am the one who innocent here not that psycho."I know you hate me, Gia but I never thought you might do something like this," Elizabeth said looking at me. I put the glass down and Lucas comes and checks her head."Excuse me?! You're the-" I w
