calanthe's pov
It's the day of the conference and I am still having mixed feelings, if it was up to me I would not go, but grandpa wants me to use this opportunity to showcase myself as the new CEO of the company and of course Larry would make me go.
I know who I am going to be facing when I get to the conference, my father and his wife and maybe Blossom cause I heard that he made her his Coo not quite long, and then my former friends, all I know is that west and Reila are now dating each other and that their respective parents got divorced and allowed them to date each other, and there is Lion and Zoey who are now engaged and their wedding is on Saturday, yes this Saturday we are about to enter, which is in the next two days. And there is also the Black couples Mr. and Mrs. black, what would they think of me? would they hate me if they find out about their grandbaby.
I sign as I checked my phone, I just talked to Leilana not quite long and also my grandparents, I had to postpone my trip back home to two more weeks which made my little girl sad, but I promised her lot of chocolates when I get back to Australia.
you need to greet all the CEO's Larry began scrolling through the iPad on his hands
all of them? I questioned.
well not all of them, just the ones we have collaborated with, the ones we are collaborating with and the ones we have future collaboration with, Larry specified.
so basically, all of them Larry, I replied him as the car pulled up to the destination of the conference.
yes ma'am, he said as he alighted from the car and came to my side to open the door for me.
thanks Larry, but all of them though.
just think of it as introducing yourself to people, he said and besides it's your introduction as the CEO of your grandparent's company to society.
Can't I just vanish from society? I asked jokingly.
No, you can't, he said as he escorted me to the main venue of the meeting.
why, I did that once, I said and smiled and he also did. Larry and I have been together since my first lecture in China and he is like a big brother to me and he loves my grandparents and also Leilana, he spoils her also, and he knows everything that happened.
hey, he said as he turned me to face him when we get to the entrance of the hall, you feel uncomfortable you tell me and we get the hell out of here ok?
ok, I replied and we walked in.
we were an hour late, well it was my fault, Larry wanted me to wear white cause that's the dress code but i wanted to wear red, we argued but i won the arguments, he never had a chance against me. the conference had already begun when we entered and our seats is at the front, all eyes were on us as we went into the venue and our seat was offered to us. we sat down together and then mc at the podium announced us.
and that the new CEO of good looks company miss calanthe fisher, he announced and murmur filled the air.
He is here, I said to myself, I know cause I can feel him looking at me but i do not dare and check it out.
the conference lasted for three hours and then it ended people then started greeting each other.
ok, you need to associate now, Larry said.
really? I said giving him a puppy look.
go now, he said and then we stood up together.
I looked around and my eyes met his eyes, fuck me he looks so good, i didnt dwell much on it and I turned around and started greeting people.
you need to greet the blacks, Larry said. I looked at him as if he was joking but he wasn't, the blacks and my father and former friends are all together, blossom arms were wrapped around Cayden's arm.
I think they were waiting for me to be done before they approached me but then i approached them first, they were at the other side of the hall.
HI, Mr. black, Mrs. black, I said shaking their hands, I only looked at them and ignored others around me. I am calanthe fisher, only grandchild of colin fisher I said as I directed the last sentence to blossom, bitch has been visiting my grandparents when I was back at China, new CEO of good looks, i continued.mr black Shaked my hands while mars black pulled me into a hug, oh my kaykay, i missed you so much.
I smiled at her as i pulled away from the hug, where have you been all this years? she asked.
here and there, i replied as i felt others eye on me.
new CEO, Mr. black began, hope we work together sometimes.
I hope so too, I replied and my father came forward and then he said.
how are you? I am fine, I replied shutting down any further conversations.
I ignored my former friends and Cayden's staring at me, i didn't even look at them once and as Zoey was about to talk, I turned to Mrs. black and said, i am about to leave ma,
what, why? she said, there is an after party, wont you be coming there.
maybe next time, I have a meeting very soon, i turned around before she could say anything.
meeting? really? Larry said as he came beside me as i was walking away.
just needed to get out of there.
i know, he replied as we both walked away.
