Shouting. That is what's happening right now. They were fighting about who should take over the company. Half of the board is suggesting that I take over, while the other half wants my sister to do it. The board members hate me. I mean who wouldn't I basically did everything wrong. Plus they hate ALL my ideas.
And I may or may not have pushed their buttons a little too much. I hate this. I hate the fact that they don't like me, this is actually one of the reasons why I don't want to take over. They prefer my sister, but I'm okay with it.
I was still deep in my thoughts when suddenly everyone goes quite.
"Alyx...Alyx...ALYX!!!"
"WHAT?!" I shouted back. And I saw that my father shouted at me. Well, that's new, no one dared to shout at me ever since. I don't know why, but even my father doesn't shout at me. So I'm shocked that he finally did. And I only realized why, when I look at the door.
I composed myself and stood up to greet him. "Mr. Suvvina, why are you here?"
I look around and saw that everyone is standing up. Even my father is standing up. I mean he never greeted someone while he's standing. So he must be a very important client. Everyone was glaring at me. The board members, and my parents, while Mr. Suvvina looked amused. Why does he look amused? It's not like I'm making him laugh. Do I look like a clown to him? I'm so irritated today, can't let my anger out on anyone, now can I. My father would be furious, that he might pack my bags and tell me to leave the house, well that would be easier though.
"Well aren't you disrespectful. Look at your daughter Rigmor, do you really want her to take over this company. She'll just bring this company down."
"Well Mr. Parson, if you don't want to get your business bankrupt, you have to shut your fucking mouth." I smiled at him, a smile where I'm telling him to fucking shut his trap.
I hate that guy. He thinks he owns the company, such an egoistic bastard. And to scare that guy you have to threaten to terminate the contract. Mr. Parson looked shocked that I actually talked back at him, and also the fact that I threatened him. I mean EVERYONE is. I usually don't talk too much. Especially if Mr. Parson is concerned. But since I'm already starting to lose patience, my mouth decided to move on its own.
"Well hello to you too Ms. Rodriguez. I'm actually here because I would like to talk to you, along with your family." He smiled after. He actually freaking smiled. I smiled back. But inside I was suddenly nervous, so nervous. What would he like to talk about?
"Everyone out." My father said. But no one moves, everyone is hesitating because the meeting isn't done yet, this meeting is important since what we're talking about is the company's future.
"I said EVERYONE GET THE FUCK OUT!" Everyone immediately moves, no one dared to speak another word.
"Alyx call Zoweina and Maxximilian."
I immediately do as I was told. I'm an obedient, and respectful child, except for some days when you feel so angry and irritated for no reason at all. And today is one of those days.
"Mr. Suvvina, it's good to see you again, and please have a seat." My mother, Hannah, greeted.
While we were waiting, Mr. Suvvina and my parents started talking. And since they don't let me join their 'business talk', which I highly doubt is really business at all, I started to do my abandoned work. I still have a lot of paper works.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, they've finally arrived. Finally, I thought they won't come.
"Good Afternoon Mr. Suvvina, mother, father, Alyx." They both greeted.
It's actually creepy when they talked like that, you'd think they've practiced before coming here. I just looked at the door for 3 seconds and returned to my work. I'm not being rude, I mean, I always see their faces, so there's really no need to look at them more. My siblings look so much alike. With the brown hair which they got from our father and, blue eyes which they got from our mother, and a gorgeous face and body, they simply attract attention with just the way they walk. You would actually think they are twins. While here I am stuck with the black hair and blue eyes from our mother. See the difference in our looks. While they attract attention, I stayed in the shadows. While they have a lot of admirers, I have none. And I like it that way. I hate attention, I hate when they judge you just by looking at you.
And most of all I hate when they think they're better than you because you made a small mistake.
When I thought we'll start the meeting, they don't. My siblings decided to join their 'business talk'. So I just got back to work.
After 30 minutes, we still haven't started the meeting. I was about to ask them but I stopped. I look around and saw that I am the only one left in the conference room. I can't believe they just left me here. Am I really so engrossed in my work that I didn't hear them leave? Gosh, nevermind. I stood up and walked back to my office. Since they just left me, might as well go back.
As I was about to enter my office when my phone rings. Without even looking at the caller ID, I answered the phone.
"Hello. Good Afternoon."
"ALYX! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Maxx shouted from the phone, it was so loud that I have to put down the phone from my now ringing ears.
"Maxx, I was just about to enter my office. Why are you calling?"
"Well dearest sister, we are waiting for you for about 10 minutes now."
"Well I'm sorry but you all just left me there in the conference room." Gosh, how offending. Seriously, why don't they just start the meeting without me?
"You can all start the meeting. I'm busy."
"Alyx you have to be here. Like now!"
"If you really need me. Then why did you left me there? Nevermind. Where are you?"
"Father's office."
"Yeah, yeah whatever. I'll be there."
Yeah right as if they actually need me there. Seeing as I'm really not that much needed there even though Maxx said otherwise, I entered my office, got a few paper works that are needed to be done. Then walk to the elevator. Holding a lot of files while pressing the elevator door is hard. So it took me a minute just to press the button on the elevator.
When I finally got to my father's floor. I immediately walk to his office with my heels clicking on the tiled floor. When I opened the door everyone is silent no one even bothered to look at me. My father has this small meeting area in his office which can fit 10 people. My father sat at the head. My mother on his left, Zoweina, and Maxx on her side. While Mr. Suvvina is seated on the other side, opposite my father. I just sat down on an empty chair, which is on my father's left.
Since no one is talking I started working again. What can I say I'm a workaholic. I heard a door open then close. Since no one is speaking or actually moving I thought it's just an employee, that needed to talk to my father. But I was so wrong when I saw someone at the corner of my eyes sat beside Mr. Suvvina. When I look up, I was shocked by what I am seeing, or probably who I am looking at.
