I walked in on my parents having a serious argument. I got curious and rushed down the stairs and that caught their attention . Seeing me, they stood upright and kept quiet like they weren't arguing moment ago and that seems suspicious to me.
"Mom, dad, what's wrong??
"Nothing" my mom answered quickly making it all more suspicious
"That doesn't seem like nothing to me"
"It's nothing serious , we're gonna take care of it" dad answered this time.
"Take care of what??I inquired getting more worked up
"Nothing you have to worry your pretty head about" my dad spoke again, but I couldn't get rid of the worry that has began to sip in
"Mom??
She signed before answering "Fine, the board members are planning to vote your father out as the chairman of the board because the company has been having some setbacks lately and they concluded that he is incapable of leading the board of directors" she finished in one breath
"How could they??Dad built the company from scratch , from nothing with his blood and sweat , how could they do that to him" I was devastated.
Dad just sighed and collapsed unto the nearest sofa .
"That good for nothing Ross incited them to gang up against me, you know he's always wanted to be chairman and has been eyeing my company"
"Is there nothing we can do?? If you are voted out , you would have lesser power on the company you built with nothing"
"I know that already and I am out of ideas, they won't even support me nor my ideas" Then he looked up at me which got me uneasy
"There's only one solution"
"What's it"
I noticed a sad look on my mom's face but I brushed it off
'You will have to get married"
"Get married ?? I asked obviously alarmed and about to raise hell on him- I mean I wasn't ready to get married -when he walked towards me with a forlorn look and the words died down in my throat.
"The only solution is that I merge my company with knights corporation" yeah, knights is a business partner but wait, was I getting married to a wrinkled old man , I haven't seen him tho but he's sure is old
"Not to him but you're getting married to his son to get the companies merged" he spoke up to clear the confusion on noticing the bewildered look on my face - don't blame me, I won't get married to an old man who's near to his grave. Well, who knows, he could be hot- gosh, I can't believe I am such thoughts.
"If you want to" my dad continued which got me to look at him. I know he wants to save his company but not on the expense of his own daughter, he was torn between saving his company and protecting his only child and I felt pity for him.
"Dad"
"yes, I know you don't want to get married now but I will make sure to fix this mess, I must find a way" he butted in not waiting for me to finish.
"What if I want to"
"Want to??Mom queried already on her feet
"You know , get married"
"No, you can't"
"But.....
"yes, I want to keep my company but I can't do that to you" he pressed cutting me off, again
"jenny, you can't , I won't allow it "mom spoke up this time
"I am doing this for the both of you and for the company you worked so hard to build , I won't let someone else take it. If getting married is what it takes to keep the company , so be it"
"Dear, you haven't thought about it yet"
"There's nothing to think about, my mind is made up already, the company is yours and should remain yours" I won't let someone else to take the company away from my family even if it means getting married to an unknown man, I don't mind and that Ross need to be taught a lesson.
"I don't wanna force you to do this, you have your own life ahead of you"
"Dad, you're not forcing me to do anything , it's my duty as a daughter of this family to protect our heritage and this is my life also". I noticed my mom on the brink of breaking down and I felt my heart break .
"Mom, don't cry, I will be fine"
"You can always change your mind, you know that right?? That was my dad
"I know but I won't, so stop sulking. I need to head out now
Bye"
"wait, where are you going"
