Dads Friend Mga Nobela at Kwento

I wasn’t supposed to be home this summer. College had been my escape—my excuse to avoid the suffocating expectations of being Aria Hale, perfect daughter of perfect businessman Victor Hale. But when Dad insisted I come home for his “important dinner,” I didn’t expect him to walk through the door. Jace Carter. My dad’s friend’s son. The boy who used to steal cookies off our counter and dare me to jump from the treehouse roof. The boy who moved away at seventeen and left behind a trail of rumors—fights, girls, a motorcycle accident that nearly killed him.

I answered as I went to get my clothes. Adam walked in, Adam is like a secretary and my one and only friend here. His whole family are here, his Dad working for my my Dad as an adviser before he pass away. He was working with Emirate group, which I think Dad got him the position to help me adjust when I got back. "Hi Adam" I said raising the two suits am holding "which one" I asked as he stood before me. "They're all black" he pointed out with his usual stern face.

When Dad started to talk, I’m all ears for me not to miss even the single detail of whatever he says. Dad talk first about his best friend, Andrea. I was hurt by what I found out today but not the worst. I think, that's also because I grew up not close to my Mom.

I said with a sigh. "Who's the guy?" "His name is Mike, he is Daren's best friend in high school." I answered his question. "Mike...?" I notice the raising of his eyebrows, I can read on his face as if that name is familiar to him. "Yep. Uhm, wait, don't think that I was a two timer back then, that I took them both at the same time. You might think differently, Daren and Mike are still best friends. My daughter's father is the best friend of the one I married, won't you think I'm a different two timer or maybe I'm a dirty woman."

dad greeted me and i had to stop for a few seconds to digest that. Dad never greets me as Dear unless he wanted something or he as about to tell me something i don't want to hear. " What is it, dad?" I asked and i heard him sigh. "I know you are going to say no, but hear me out. A friend of mine has a son that he want to set up andbi was thinking, know that you are not with your boss, maybe you would want me to set you up..." "DAD..."

I don’t think I can. “I thought so." “So tell me about this man. Who is he? Is he someone I know?” “No, you don’t know him.” But of course, he knows him. A lot of people know him. Jordan is very popular and his company is popular too. Besides, Brandon saw him at the party a few weeks ago and he couldn’t stop talking about Jordan and his work. But I’m a coward, okay? I don’t want him to judge me for being so hopelessly and stupidly into an older man and not just any older man, but my dad’s best friend.

“It’s a plausible reason. Your dad can’t be trusted, you know.” “Excuse me?” I jabbed my finger into his chest, spinning slightly to face him. “The only untrustworthy person here is you. My dad is the innocent one! You are that devil in two bestfriends!” Amusement flickered in his eyes before a hearty laugh escaped him. “Oh, baby, you’re so delusional,” he said, shaking his head. “Innocent? Your dad? Trust me, I’ve known him longer than you, and that is definitely not the case. You should’ve seen him in his college days. The only thing that straightened him out was you.”

I understood why my dad and Alex wanted to protect me, but it was all too much. Just when it couldn’t get any worse, my dad’s partner was murdered on a mission several years ago. Stevie Maddens was my dad’s best friend and the man who used to sit on the couch every single day, but now he was gone. My dad couldn’t handle the loss of his best friend and was obsessed with bringing these people down. “I’m leaving.” Tori kissed my cheek. My dad looked at Tori with eyes full of worry. “It’s not because of me, right?” He asked.
