I immediately activated my grandchild feature seeing he wants to be very mad at me. “Grandpa!” I said with a hoarse stuttering voice.
“you are yelling at me!” I said and he was a little calm. “You arrogant punk! I told you to be home to host my friends and me and yet you are here by 9: 45 pm and you were not even remorseful as you are willing to ignore your old man and walk away!”
He said walked to his seat and sat down. “Grandpa, you are using the word punk for a girl like me! That is bad! And who said I intentionally ditch your dinner, I was dealing with what your son has done.
Eaten the company to the bone, blame him for pulling me in the position I am!” I said and he sighs. “I guessed you won’t be attending, so I didn’t invite my friend, he was going to bring his son to introduce to you.” He said and I stylishly rolled my eyes.
“What has your uncle done this time?” he asked and I sat opposite him. “he is messing with the insurance department because he knows he is a family. I will deal with you, all I want is for you to be fair.” I said and he nodded.
“When will you be available to host my friends, you are not getting younger!” he said and I sighed. “After my trip to Bell Heels!” I said and his face widened as he looked at me!
“What did you just say?” he asked and I smiled. “it will be a quick trip, I will be honoring the invite of the demon lord in the city! I am hoping to be in charge of two of his project here in the East and this is my only chance to get him locked in.
I know what you are scared of, I am not that pitiful girl anymore, I am your granddaughter, what can anyone do about that?” I said and walked over to him and kissed his cheeks.
He sighed and hugged my hand tighter and I could feel his fears. “Call me when anything happens, I will be here!” he said and I smiled and kissed him on the head and walked off before he won’t be able to hold his emotions down.
‘Sweet slow song of the east is what I love to hear!’
That was the song I played all through the night as I packed a few things and got myself ready for tomorrow. Surely, I could tell I might encounter the Carters but my mind was as relaxed as I know I would be alright regardless of anything that happened!
7; 00 am
I walked out of the room with my luggage and the maid I met took it all as I strode to the old man’s study and greeted him but met him on a call. “I thought the invite was destroyed, how did she get it again?’ he angrily yelled at the other person on the land and I tried to understand what he was talking about.
“you mean that boy sent another one, but why?” he questioned and I could tell he was talking about me. He knew about the invite earlier and must have blocked it. He sure does not want me in bell heels at all.
I turned back and left like I heard nothing and walked to my car. I met a food tray on the left seat just beside me and I smiled before closing the door and ordering the car to move.
I got to the airport and settled in almost immediately.
I thought I might rest but instead Ben was the one resting as I was in between conference calls and signing the files that I left yesterday.
Bell Heels only took three three-hour flight and one one-hour ride to the hotel Ben had booked. I settled in and just out of habit, I opened the curtains and saw the beauty of the city just after two years of leaving.
Nothing seems to have changed, not even the air. As toxic as ever!
I was still in deep thought when a knock sounded on my door. “boss!” Ben yelled from outside. “what is with the noise?” I asked and opened the door!
“the big boss is on the line!” he managed to say in one breath as he passed his phone to me. “hello, old man!” I said and walked in. “I must have left my phone in my bag that is why I didn’t see your call! And it is not like I will get kidn*pped here!” I said and rolled my eyes as I tried the grape in the room.
Yummy!
“I have heard you, old man!” I said and hung up before handing the phone to Ben who was looking like he met a ghost. I guess the old man must have yelled at him for being a personal assistant.
“Ben! I can’t dress official for the banquet right?” I said and he looked at me like I was hallucinating. “Boss, of course, it is a banquet, not only will you be displaying your class and intelligence but also beauty and sexiness.
You are a beauty goddess, you need to dress like one!” he said and I sneered at his dramatic act.
“Make an order of a dress for me, not skimpy and not too elegant. I don’t want to be in any limelight. I want to relax!” I said and he was so happy like I gave him chocolate. “I will surely deliver the best of the best.” He said and I chuckled and walked away while he got himself busy for the day.
Bell heel surely is toxic, I can't hel
p but want to rest even after just entering the city.
