I was working on a new contract and the pressure of work just kept coming all over again.
' A Man's Got To Do What A Man's Got To Do ' when it comes to work and money.
I walk pass the door to my balcony and walk back when I caught sight of Matthew my brother taking a view of my resort .
" hey Matt thought I had you band from my mansion ? " I say grabbing his shirt and he raised his hands in mock surrender .
" I forget things and you just reminded me so if you'd let me I'm gonna go now and . . . . . " he was gonna make a run for it slowly removing my hand from his shirt when I sigh .
" since you're here why don't you make your self useful ? " I say walking away and he followed me the usual .
" congrats on becoming a trillionaire " I hear Matthew say as he walked behind me.
" shut up Matthew if I'm a trillionaire you're a trillionaire, you're my vice president and my brother. . . you're not congratulating me you're congratulating yourself "
"can't you say ' thank you Matt ' for once? ' I couldn't have done it without you, you are my support and life saver. I love you bro' can't you?"
I sighed stopping in my tracks I turned around and look at him
" can you please shhhhh and follow me? " I said through gritted teeth and he hiss walking past me .
" I'm sorry if being a trillionaire bugs you " he said walking ahead towards my study and heads in.
I walk towards my room heading into the showers, after a long fifty minutes bath walking out with a fresh pair of clothes and a towel I used in cleaning my damp black hair.
I walk into my study to see Matthew fling a file on the table and throwing a pen behind him, he just finished signing the dozens of files I dumped on him. negotiation smart and business quick.
Runs in the blood
" Done " Matthew said standing up as I walked into the study .
" perks of being a vice president " I shrug still cleaning my hair .
" perks of being your brother " he says smiling, I look at the files he had finish in just fifty minutes hundred and two seconds which was basically, fifty two minutes two seconds but who's keeping count?.
" brother? where? " I said with a blank expression as I stop cleaning my hair .
" me " he said putting his hand over his heart in mock hurt and offence.
" thanks Matt " I say expecting him to go but, he stayed like he wanted to say something. I sat on the chair going through the files while he leaned on the table .
" what is it Matthew ?!" I ask throwing my towel at him.
" Are you gonna let them keep throwing dust on you? " he asked and I know what he means and but I ignore raking my fingers through my hair causing it to scatter my hair all over my face and neck.
" Don't ignore me " he grunts.
" Do I look like I care, Matthew? " I frowned looking at the file trying to avoid his eyes those eyes which affected me like mom's.
" don't Matthew me Christopher . . . that's right you only care about work " I heard him mumble and I look up at him making him keep shut.
I shake my head and look back down on the file, who cares what others think?, I only care about my life. I hate giving my brother a lecture when he thinks his life is going great but I have to tell him the truth since he wants it.
" you probably think your life Is great but you know what you're just lonely and that doesn't mean you can get into my personal life or space " I say and he frowns standing up straight.
" that's not true " he frowns looking away.
" want more? " I ask
" fine I'm leaving " he disappears through the door and I continue with my file.

Wednesday !! !! !! !!
Today's D-Day, daddy promised me I could go to the company with him and I was so excited to go with him that way I wouldn't get lonely at home of course nanny is with me but I still miss daddy.
I look in the mirror as nanny picked out a dress for me, what I saw was . . . . . me. I could be cute, smart and cheerful, I was deep in thought when nanny started dressing me bringing me back to the real world.
" do I look pretty, Nanny? " I asked looking at myself while stroking my hair.
I knew I was but I just wanted to hear it from someone else.
" how do you feel? " she said dressing me properly as I looked in the mirror .
" what do you mean nanny? " I frowned turning to look at her, that wasn't a ' yes ' or a ' no '.
" really who cares what I think all that matters is how you feel down there . . . . so what do you think ? " nanny said turning me to the mirror to look at myself , that was deep . I look at my self head to toe.
" am I pretty " I chant to myself .
Am I ?
" yes!, I think so nanny. . . I'm pretty " I smile as she starts brushing my hair. Nanny chuckles softly.
" you look really pretty and cute and smart " she says and soon I was all done, me and daddy have breakfast before heading off not after saying goodbye to nanny who just wave back in reply. It was an half hour journey , dad would still make it early considering we left very early I became curious when dad kept on smiling over and over again and kept muttering some words to himself I shrug it off saying he was excited too.
" This is grace my new secretary I've not introduced you yet " dad says as soon as we get inside his office , his secretary . . . . grace was placing files on his table when we came in and I smile at her innocently as she smiles first.
it's been long since dad took me hear two years ago when I was in my school's final year.
" could you show her around grace looks like new files came in I'll take over as soon as I'm done " I kiss daddy on the cheek before letting grace lead me to the elevator , the company had 50 floors we went floor by floor with grace explaining what happens on each floor and the work time or days and everything necessary.
" looks like this is the last floor so can we go back to the president's office ? " she asked all smiles and I nod as we press the elevator and head down,
immediately the elevator opens I rush towards dad's office telling him how nice grace was, she really is and lovely too .
" if you like her I'll give her a raise " dad smiled and then two men and a woman barged in . . . . . how rude didn't their parents teach them how to knock? or inform him of their coming or something?. I turn to the two men looking at me like I was some kind of flashlight and I suddenly became self conscious as I looked at them too and the woman beside them.
They were both equally handsome and strong too one taller than the other and in casual wear while the other one looking work ready and professional In his waist coat and holding his suit over his shoulder and to his back, the other one looked so handsome with his casual wear and black messy hair on his forehead , my eyes drifted to his big muscles and broad chest, his blue eyes were also staring at me at me and then I realize I'm staring at the famous president Lin.
In my dad's company?!!!
