733 Words
"I'll think about it" Isabel said. Her father isn't getting any younger and he needs someone to take care of him aside from his servants. Her father has always been busy and rarely has their time, the only thing he has is money. He started spending time with Isabel after their divorce and he realized he hasn't really been there for them.
Isabel also want to spend time with him, and if she continue to stay in the hotel, she will spend up to $200 everyday for the room and almost $400 daily on food and other daily necessities.
"Hope you're fine? Do you still have enough money?" Mr Hills asked.
"Dad, i have more than enough. You even gave me pocket money twice last month and thrice this month. If you keep on doing that, I'll get spoiled and lazy and I will become a spendthrift" Isabel whined like a child.
"If I don't spoil you, who should I spoil? Besides if you become a spendthrift, I have more than enough to support you" Mr Hills said with a doting smile.
"If i become spoiled and lazy, no man will want me" Isabel teased her father
"Says who? You're my beautiful daughter. You deserve a princess treatment and the best."
Isabel looked at her father, she didn't know he has this side of him, and it's amused her.
"Dad, my life has been boring lately, I want to work. Is there a space in the company?" Isabel asked. She has to start earning her money now, her mother has abandoned her now, if her father abandon her too, no one will take care of her in the future.
"Isabel, you really don't have to work. If you're not convinced, I can send $20,000 to you now. Just be a good daughter and stay by my side and I'll take care of you forever" Mr Hills said.
Isabel was touched and she hugged him.
"Dad, I know you can support me, but I still want to assist you in the company in the little way I can. If you don't want anyone to mistreat me, I can just be your secretary." Isabel said.
"Fine. I'll do the paper work tomorrow, you can start next tomorrow". Mr Hills finally gave in.
"Dad, can you please send me money, I need to change my wardrobe. I don't have clothes suitable for a secretary" Isabel said.
"No problem. I'll ask Miranda to go with you" Mr Hills said.
"No dad. I want Wendy to go with me instead." Wendy is Isabel's childhood friend and she got her job as an accountant in Hills Group through Isabel.
"Okay."

Mark watch as Linda cook in the kitchen.
"Baby, have you still not called your daughter?" He asked. He really wants to have a taste of Isabel.
"I won't talk to her until she apologize to you. How is it possible for you to rape her?" Linda pour little oil in the frying pan.
"I don't want you both to fall out because of me. If your relationship gets worse, I'll feel guilty. Please just forgive her for my sake" Mark pleaded.
"I know my daughter, since she is wrong, she will come back and apologize soon, so, don't worry about anything and just relax" Linda comforted him.
"By the way, what time are you picking our daughter from the Airport?" Linda asked excited. She can't wait to see what Lucy looks like. At least she should be more sensible than Isabel.
"There's still 2 more hours. You should call Isabel over too so that they can meet"
"Isabel will come home herself. I don't believe she can stay outside for long"
"Linda, can Lucy use the car you bought for me for sometimes till I gather money to get her one?" Mark asked, with another intention. He knows Linda won't like the idea of him giving his daughter the car she bought for him as a gift.
"I can go with her to check out her favorite car tomorrow. I can just get her a car as a welcome gift" Linda said. Spending few dollars on her step daughter is not a big deal.
"Really? Lucy will be so happy to have a mother like you" Mark hugged her happily from the back.
"It's really nothing. This is just the beginning and she is my daughter too."
