**Katherine**
I shut the door behind me , the tears have been holding finally busted out. I could hear the echo of my heart beat in my ears , I felt to my knees in my room.
After days, months, years of preparing to prove to my father I'm capable. I won three international contracts for the company.
There is still nothing to prove I'm capable.
The word “you don't think like a Blackwood” replayed again .
What does he want me to think?
I have hidden my emotions, not letting it influence my decisions. I canceled many social outings to attend a company meeting .
I have chosen discipline over comfort , days of sleepless night and I still show up despite
I literally put Blackwood Energy first before anything else in my life and my father still sees me as the person not capable enough to handle the company.
In his words “I'm not ready”
My hatred for him has gotten stronger. Does he even see me as his daughter ?
After hours of lying helplessly on the floor.
I forced myself to stand up , walked up the window, my eyes were red,looking like it wanted to bulge out .
Looking at myself straight in the mirror I said “I'm not giving up.”
If my father refuses to see my value I will build my company from scratch. A successful one that will bring out the values he is blind to see.
I was able to get a full view of my room standing up from where I laid down . Still looking so elegant, designed in a way that reflects my father's view on maturity.
The colour rhythm is unique even if it isn't my best colour. I have always loved pink .
I could have made all the interiors in the room pink but I don't want my dad to see me as less of an adult or being childish .
I kept my best colour to myself, making the interiors brown which stands out so great. Brown looks unique , elegant and it stands out from the furniture to the interior lighting and bed lamp . It looks composed in a perfect way.
My room is tiled with a white tiles
After months , my bathroom still looks beautiful. It is always made of glass and the Jacuzzi is bright shining white colour with a rose flower on the water in it. It must have been prepared by the maid earlier.
I washed my face, trying to calm myself down and changed into my robe to take my bath. Still wrapped in my robe, When I had a knock from the door.
“Kathy….” That Emilia
My childhood friend.
Childhood memories with Emilia were one of the best things I could never forget seeing each other grow up side by side.
We had been friends since fourth grade.
Back then, most children found me too serious and intimidating because of my last name, I barely spoke.
Emilia never cared about any of that, she didn't get tired of me. Even when I ghosted her , I canceled hanging out with her and missed her birthday party a lot of the time.
Emilia always found her way back to me somehow ,she saw me and understood me. I'm so grateful to have her as my best friend honestly.
A smile on my lips as I walked toward the door.
I can't wait to see her.
I opened the door ,before I could say any word Emilia had jumped on me for a hug.
“Kathy!” Do you know how much I missed you?”
I laughed .It’s only been six months.
She walked into my room without waiting for permission like she owned the place. “That’s long enough, too long and over due”
She threw herself onto my bed while I shut the door behind me , walking towards the door of the bathroom. Emilia permits me to take my bath, I will be quick.I don't like how I feel.
“You still have the same room aesthetic” she said.
"what did you see in this colour”?
Brown , brown…it too dull for me
It’s called maturity, the colour standout for me. I said walking into the bathroom
You are still young my girl , give that vibe nah. This colour is called DEPRESSION
I laughed , I don't want to argue with you.
Before you go into the bathroom, where is the remote? I know you barely watch TV.
“It’s on the brown shelf.” Everything is brown in colour,she said.
I laughed out loud from the bathroom.
I haven't started the shower , Emilia spoke again “I’m kidnapping you tonight.”
“You’re dramatic.” I laughed
“That's why you love me .”
When I'm done taking my bath.
“Take your time!” she shouted.
I had barely stayed in the Jacuzzi for seconds; Emela’s loud voice echoed through my room again.
“Oh my God, what again?”
Kathy…Do you know this handsome dude, shown on the TV?
Dude? I'm not there with you…
What is it about him?
He is being interviewed on this show,
In his word ; He said “He would rather build his own legacy than take over his father's company.”
Did you know this guy is the son of a Multi Billionaire ,the Sinclair family. He is Handsome.
Kathy…are you listening to me. She shouted.
Yes I am.
He’s the best author in Atlanta.
At this time, I was done in the bathroom. I asked ,let me see the show.
They removed him already, you came too late. It was a short interview.
I can't hang out with Emilia today , I said to myself. I have a company to plan ahead for , I’m not going back on my words.
“Ambition come with a price”
She is going to be disappointed but I know she will understand.I will fix it a day later this week.
Emilia…I'm sorry, Can you postpone the hang out.
She gasped. Impossible, why are you always doing this?
Please my Friend, I'm so sorry.
Okay,okay…You must fix a day this week.
I love you so much, you're the best person ever.I hugged her.
She hugged me tight and gave me a peck.
See you Kathy…she said leaving my room.
I finally have my room to myself again. I would love to hang out with Emilia but I can't ,I have more pressing issues. I said to myself.
BUSINESS PLAN,I wrote in my journal.
After writing and sketching out , all that will make the company a successful one.
I can’t start the company alone..I realized
I need an investor
