665 Words
Upon reaching home, Clara parks her car in the garage and goes inside the home. After entering she sees her father still awake and sitting in the living room while going through work related documents. She tries to sneak into her room slowly without getting noticed.
"Clara!" Mr. Miller calls her without taking his eyes off from the documents in hand
Clara froze on spot and turned around with an awkward smile on her face "Yes, Pa...?"
"Do you know what time it is? It's already past midnight, you came late yesterday as well. I have given you the liberty to work but if this goes on I'm afraid you have to stop this and take over Miller Group" Mr. Miller says with a stern voice
Clara goes near Mr. Miller and gets seated next to him "Pa, I'm sorry. I'll make sure not to come late again in the future, Please forgive me this once?" She pleads while hugging his left arm
Mr. Miller sighs "..Alright but this will be the last time, Okay?" Mr. Miller is a softhearted person, he can't be angry with his only daughter.
"Yes, Pa and Thank you" Clara smiles and hugs him
"It's already late you should go and get some rest" Mr. Miller says
"Okay, Pa. Good night" Clara greets and leaves to her room
"Good night, dear" Mr. Miller greets back
After taking a shower, Clara dries her hair and goes to bed after completing her skin care routine 'Arrghh..' she sighs 'I'm so tried..' she thought to herself before nodding off to sleep

Next morning Clara woke up on time due to habit, since she wasn't able to go back to sleep; she continued her morning routine excluding bath and went down to have breakfast in her pajamas.
"Good morning, Pa" Clara greets her father who is reading newspaper while sitting in the dining area while
Mr. Miller looks up from his newspaper "Good morning and aren't you going to work today?"
"No, Pa. I have taken a day off" Clara gets seated and gestures the maid to serve breakfast
"Ooh. Okay" Mr. Miller says and they both start to eat their breakfast
After having breakfast Mr. Miller went to the study and Clara went to her room; applied a face-mask and fell flat on her bed and picked up her phone to play few games.
After an hour someone knocks at her door. Clara gets up and opens the door to see her father standing in front. She moves aside to let him in "Pa? What happened?"
"Since you are free today, come to the office with me to attend a meeting, so that you can learn more about our company" Mr. Miller says calmly
'Meeting?!! Argh.. I don't want to go' "Pa.... But why all of the sudden you're asking me to attend a meeting? That too on my day off.." Clara says while frowning, it's not like she haven't attended any before but she just hates attending them
"You're an only heir apparent to Miller Group and you have to learn everything before you take up the position" Mr. Miller replies
Clara : "But Pa-"
"Get yourself ready, we'll be leaving in an hour" Mr. Miller says before leaving
'Arghhhhh....' Clara groans and falls onto her bed 'her perfect, planned day off gets ruined' after some time she gets up and goes to the bathroom to ready herself, after finishing her bath she comes out wearing only bathrobe and walks into her walk-in closet 'hmm.. what should I wear today?' she thought to herself while examining the pile of clothes inside her closest
'Since Pa said it's a meeting then I will have to go with business suit.. hmm..' her eyes stops at a particular outfit and she decides to wear it for today, the dress she choose is a simple business suit with a knee-length skirt and she decided to wear a pair of black heels while her hair where neatly braided and loosely tied. After getting ready she went down to meet her father and both the father and daughter leave to the office
