LOVE+ME+YOU

the business trip

Getting home I climbed my bed and remained there ordering my maids around to get me this or that. They literally undressed bath and clothed me before I dosed off.

Waking up about 3hours later my dad was calling me for dinner I washed and arranged my self to be presentable to him or he would end up insulting me again as usual. Getting into the dinning there he was looking grumpy as usual *dear dad no matter how grumpy you become I'll still love you and give you my usual peck!*

And that I did immediately I got by him

“Dinner time papa!”

I said as I sat in excitement and began to dish some food in his golden plate

“You did as I would have done today”

“thanks papa” I giggled as I dished his food the maids stand near in case we need their attention

“You have a business trip tomorrow”

“What?!….. Is that a joke?!” I chocked on the food in my mouth.

“What am I now to you?! A joker? Brace your lazy ass and get ready for the task tomorrow!”

“Dad you should let me know days before such things!”

“You don't order me Kayla! Its the other way round! I wanted telling you tomorrow but changed my mind due to your messed up sleeping habit so you won't wake 3pm tomorrow!”

“Dad!!”

“Shut it! Learn how to take responsibility! That life your mother thought you was a lie! She thought you life of an ordinary girl but that's not who you are. You are lots more with giant responsibilities on your shoulders and thousands of enemies with employees who will betray you and lots more don't you understand?! You've got no time to mess around! Train yourself to be the iron lady you should be and stop this silly girlish attitude! You are my son! I don't have a daughter! Act like one!”

Tears began to fall off my eyes

“I'm just 20 dad”

“Age is but a number thats not an excuse!“

“Did you ever loved mum?“

“your flight is 8am tomorrow you will be briefed about the trip on air no need parking I've arranged all you will need waiting for you there!“

With that he called his guard who wheeled him out of the dinning I lost appetite and left too sobbing I got to my room took my kid picture with my mum and cried my eyes out!

Then put it into my hand bag together with her bracelet it was my lucky charm I hugged it and fell asleep.

Next morning I left for the trip in Italy to meet many other successful business men top class I was nervous but dad would kill me if I don't get their collaboration this task is draining every single bit of me I wish I was that ordinary girl mum thought me. The jet landed and I came down escorted with my team to our various hotel rooms at the VIPs

Getting to my room I saw what dad had prepared already there waiting for me my clothes and toiletries with some other necessary things. I was to relax for an hour and half before I meet the big dogs in the industry so I lay down and slept with my alarm set actually. I got up quiet late I had to rush everything and ran down to the hall.

I meet with my manager on the way with my other team I told them I was unprepared and would only back them up while they lead the presentation getting to the hall of the meeting I met with foreign faces of old and matured men.

“Please gentle men excuse the lateness it unintentional”

I apologized Immediately I got in as I and my team bowed our heads the man nodded in response we then sat down I was expecting them to begin but they didn't out of curiosity I asked

“Gentlemen I thought this meeting should start by 3:40 its 3:50 why aren't we…..“

Cutting me up was some securities opening the door as the guy from the last meeting appeared immediately everyone stood up to greet him except me he ignored them and walked to the king seat then sat without saying a word and immediately the presentation began and lasted for an hour and half my manager represented us and he did remakablely well. With that the meeting closed for the day and we all left I went to the eatery in the hotel to order my meal. While eating, I noticed that same guy come In with some old men who were obviously trying to get on his good books they were talking and smiling at him but he paid no attention he sat and his meal was brought to him same as the men who were making their orders I began to think*is he a mute?*cause I've never heard him speak before all he was doing now was nodding at the man unconcerned.

After minute of ranting his bouncers escorted the men out he literally sent them out without saying a word.

Once I was done with my meal i went to the bar to relax no dad to scold me after all while don't I enjoy my trip from home?!

I occupied my self with henessy taking from the bottle itself I've had enough of being who I wasn't trying to live a life of class when I was trained in the slum.

I got really drunk and was struggling to lead myself to the room so I won't make a mess of myself and I'll be all over the news.

Getting to my lounge I discovered the guy had the room next to mine cause he was about going out he passed me then I lost balance and was about falling but then he held me I managed to get up using him as my plug

“Are you mute?”

But then he smacked at me

“I rather not answer that”

“Your talking habit sucks!”

“I know”with that he walked on leaving me mesmerized his tone made me really had an effect on me.
