Adriana's pov:
I never felt this happy in my past life until my parents were killed in front of me. I laughed so much that tears started to fall down. Nana was a funny and mischievous woman. She always had that aura of cheerfulness and sunshine.
Dad was also like that.Exact copy of grandma. They pulls pranks on each other.I remember I was just like that in my childhood. Yep, even though it's just been two weeks they really felt like my family. Since it's my second chance I think fate gave me a chance to give me what I lost. Love, warmth and care of a family. I never felt so contented.
After a few games on beating grandma and Emily- my sister. We bid each other good night and I was looking for dad to tell him good night,I saw a light from dad's office.
"Dad?" I called.
"yes, sweetheart?" He replied.
When I entered I saw him, sitting hands on his head.He slowly looked up. He kind of looked tired and tensed.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Nothing sweetheart, some problems in the company project."
By the he looked it must be something serious.
"What problems? Maybe I can help." I said.
"Well, Our company's project was stolen by our rival company. They showed their presentation. I told our contractor the matter,he gave me one month to submit another. God! I don't know what to do!? If we don't win this project then our company will be bankrupt.
"Who is our rival company?"I asked,
narrowing my gaze.
"The smiths." He said. My eyebrows shot up.
"You mean Ron smith?" I inquired.
"Yep.
When did you got interested in business? Whenever I start to tell you about business you would practically stomp on me telling that you were not interested." He said.
"W-well, people change you know." I said, stuttering a bit.
"And I really want to help you. You can't take all the burden by yourself. We all are here to share your burden. That's what families are for. To help, to care, to support, to love." I said, remembering the words of my father.
I saw a glint of surprise in his eyes. He was going to say something but he closed his mouth and shaked his head smiling.
"Okay. But what are you going to do?" Dad asked.
"First we have to find who is the traitor in our company. Because papers that are confidentional can only be leaked from inside. At the same time we have to work on our project too." I said.
We both became silent.
" Don't worry dad,I will come up with a plan. Now get up and go to bed. I will take care of this."I said lifting his left hand.
I was starting to return back to my room, when I realized something. I turned around before dad could close the door.
" Uh, Dad who is our contractor?" I asked.
" oh! David Williams, Good night, honey, Sweet dreams." He said kissing on the fore head and closed the door.
David Williams ? That man?
