670 Words
"That woman is still the same. So very foolish" Mr Hills still loves his wife, but her schemy friend came between them and she chose to believe her friend over him which resulted in their divorce.
"This is where I have to play my role as a father. I can't let her down the second time, so, I'll ask her to move in" Mr Hills told his assistant.
"Boss, you know how the young miss is, will she agree?" Joe asked.
"I'll find a way to persuade her. That child is just so stubborn, I told her to stay here instead of living with her mum, but she refused.
"Sir, it seems the young master of the White Family is interested in young miss" Joe said, remembering the way he looks at her and how he takes care of her.
"Leo? He is okay too, but I want Isabel to choose by herself, I want to be a good father to her now. I can arrange a date for them, and if she likes him, good, if not, there's nothing we can do" Mr Hills said.
But deep down, he wish Isabel would like him too, the marriage of the two families will benefit him, the White family are one of the top 5 family in the country and Mr Hills has been wanting to marry his daughter off to one of them, but he hasn't been a good father over the years, so, he can't force his daughter to do anything.
"Mr White is my classmate, I am sure if I ask him to meet with me, he will give me face and from there, I'll bring the matter up. Since Leo and Isabel are friends, it won't be difficult" Mr Hills said.

In a private room in The Los Angeles Conutry Club, three young men are seen smoking and drinking with three beautiful young girls by their side.
"Dave, now that your elder brother is back, your old man won't value you anymore" Calvin, Dave's best buddy said looking at Dave who has almost drank himself to death.
"Do we have to talk about him now? Though, my grandfather wants him to take over the company, my father said I am the rightful heir and President. He said Lucas will just act as the President till I am old enough to take over, so, it is still mine" Dave said. Once his grandfather is dead, Lucas will be a nobody and nobody will care about him anymore.
"What if he tries to take it away from you?" Lincoln, the third guy asked.
"He won't dare, he doesn't have the gut" Dave said confidently. He has drank 7 bottles within 20 minutes and he is still not drunk, it can be said that his tolerance for alcohol is high.
"But Dave, you and I know that Lucas is intelligent and capable. What if the board of directors doesn't want him to step down when it's time for you to take over? We both know Lucas is capable of making the company big in few years" Calvin looked at the almost- drunk Dave.
Dave fell silent, Calvin is right. Lucas is really more than capable.
"You can just make him feel threatened or better still sign a contract so that he won't have any ideas about the company in the future" Lincoln said.
"I need to go now, we'll meet another time" Dave picked up his jacket and walked out. He can't continue to listen to their nonsense.
____________________________
Lucas arrived at the company very early and his father introduced him to the directors, and important personnels in the company, after which he took him to the President's office to show him some documents and other important things.
Lucas was looking round the office when a voice greeted him.
"President" Lucas turn around and saw a thick, beautiful woman in a professional attire bowing to him.
"This is your Secretary, and your assistant too, Nora Smith" Mr Wilson introduced.
