Chapter Six

"Then I'll get going Mr Williams," she had to see her father and hear what kind of agreement that only needed her to agree to for their company to be back on their feet.

"Alright, I'll just walk you out then," Seth stood from his seat as Gaby started walking out of his office. Apart from wanting to know whatever from her father, she was also running away from Seth, being in the same space as him was clearly not a good thing for her.

Seth pressed the elevator button for Gaby after they arrived at the elevator doors before turning to her saying, "I'll be expecting your reply Miss Jones, and like I said don't blame your for the decision he had to make. Whatever he does, he does it for his family. You should be thankful that you still have a family that can still protect you. Think positive about whatever your dad did."

"Have a good day Mr Williams,* Gaby said as she stepped into the elevator. She could see Seth Williams send her off with his eyes until the doors finally closed. Gaby finally heaved a sigh of relief immediately the doors were closed.

Seth Williams was a dangerous species to the female generation. It was quite strange how there were no news of him with ladies. He had never been in any scandal with the opposite gender which was very strange because of how rich and popular he was, appearing in business news here and there. Does he always keep his love life a secret and that's why no news about her with the ladies had never been found? But he was clearly dangerous and she had just had a real experience just a few moments ago.

Wait, why did she feel like Seth Williams actually paid too much attention to her or was it her imagination? Damn, she must have been too bothered by their discussion that she must have heard or been seeing things. He could have whatever kind of woman she wanted but why would he want her? Focus, focus.

Gaby put Seth at the back of her mind as she thought of whatever her dad is going to say to her as she gripped the document in her hand. 

As the elevator doors opened, she found the previous lady waiting for her with her hands held together at the front with a polite smile on her face. Did she know that she was already coming back down or did someone tell her that she was on her way back.

"Miss Jones, I'll show you out," she was still as professional as she was when Gaby arrived. Knowing that she was only doing her job, Gaby didn't bother her, she only nodded her head and followed her out. When she was already out of the premises, the lady waved her goodbye as she watched Gaby walk towards the car that was already parked at the front. The receptionist only turned back inside after Gaby got inside the car and the driver drove away.

"Miss, where to?" The driver didn't ask anything regarding her meeting which made Gaby feel a little better. The only person she wished to give answers at the moment was her father or maybe her brother. He might have the answers to the questions that she had. What she didn't know that her brother would be the most surprised by the proposal that was put across.

"Take me back home, thank you." She then closed her eyes to rest for the rest of the journey back home. She needed the rest the most because she was not aware of what was waiting for her immediately when she gets back home. And the words that Seth said while she was leaving. They were really bothering her, and she figured she needed to calm her nerves.

Seth on the other went back to his office and called Mr Jones immediately, "Mr Jones, the decision still lies with your daughter. She's on her way back and I hope this time you can be open with her." He was looking forward to their next meeting . Today's meeting was like a blind date to him but Gaby was not aware of that. He already had the perfect places for a date which he was 95 percent sure that she'll come back once she has calmed down.

"I understand Mr Williams and thank you," and the call ended. Mr Jones thought that maybe Seth Williams would say everything to Gabriella but he didn't. But he was glad that he didn't, hell have the privilege to say everything by himself he was only worried how his son, who had suddenly arrived back home would react and Gabriella herself. Would they think that their father is selling his children's happiness for the glory of the company interests.

"We should talk when your sister arrives," Mr Jones said to Sam after ending the call with Seth Williams. He had to face his kids so it was actually better that his son had arrived earlier.

Sam had tried to get help from his friends but they could only offer just a little help which could only push them for a while but not help them back on their feet really. He had majored in business as a first degree in campus and thus he was not strange to happenings in his father's company. But still he was not able to help much. That was why he had come back to tell his father about his progress which was not successful.

"Why? Something the matter?" Sam raised his eyes off the document he was reading to look at his father. He seemed really out of it like something was really bothering him. It was not everyday that their father would really call a family meeting.

Even when their company was on the verge of bankruptcy, he never called them even once to ask them for help. Sam had helped out of his own volition because he knew how bad the company's state was. This matter must have been very pressing for him to call them.

"Let's talk together when she's here," Mr Jones had resigned himself to his fate.

"No need dad, I'm already here," at that moment Gabriella's voice was heard as she strode towards the sitting room and placed the document on the table not so gently making the both of them surprised because they had never seen Gabriella so mad.

"You mind explaining what is happening dad? You made me look like a fool, going to that meeting without all the details. And why is your company's decision left on my shoulders? You know I want nothing to do with the company, but why am I being put in between and from the looks of it, if everything doesn't come back to normal, I'll be the one to be blamed?"
