Here's the promised chapter I might have forgotten 🍪😓

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
"Why are you guys running?" Dad asked us.

"Ask her." I said panting like a dog and pointing at Caroline.

What! I ain't a fit girl.

Get over it *huffs*

"He..he was there...in the same house as we were..." She started to speak.

"Who was where and where were you ?" Dad asked.

"He-"

The doorbell rang.

Man! Just like the movies eh.

"I will get it sir." Martha said.

Martha is also Mary's sister. Mary is our cook, the food she makes is always so delicious and picture perfect lol, and Martha is like a Maid. She is one of the two Senior maids that has three maids under her. Mary has only one.

"Thank you Martha." Dad said.

We all kept quiet.

"Welcome to the Stephen's Mansion-"

Did I forget to mention we live in a mansion. Oops.

"-Mr.Tim. Please, come inside. I will inform Mr.Stephen about your arrival." Martha said being professional.

To be honest, of what I know, we all are supposed to hate Mr.Tim. I don't know why the Martha and Mary hates him but what I do know is that Mr.Tims's and Dad's history is not that good. In business ofcourse.

"Sure, Martha." Mr.Tim said. I could feel a smirk on his lips while he spoke.

Arrogant. Okay.

"Sir. He is here." Martha said.

Dad nodded and dismissed her. But she just rolled her eyes and left to do her own thing.

People are strange in this house, really really strange.

"Why do we hate him, again?" I asked to start a conversation.

"Business rival." He said.

"Rivalry shouldn't be hated dad. Not unless someone was your friend and they turned your back on you or broke your trust. And that's called an enemy." I replied.

"I don't know how you will be ready for this business if you start thinking like that." He said.

"Hey! I said that. Why are you scolding Caroline?" I asked.

"I want scolding her, I am telling you." He said.

I froze. What?

"What-"

"We will talk later. I need to meet him since I can't keep him waiting here." He said and left.

"Eavesdropping?" Caroline suggested.

I just nodded and smirked.

"Oh! There goes the majesty revealing himself to the poor people." Mr.Tim spoke.

"What are you doing here Tim?" Dad asked being straight.

"Just thought of visiting an old friend. Also, i heard that you are retiring soon. Is that true?" He asked.

"That would be non of your business Tim." Dad replied.

"Oh hahahah. Non of my business eh. Well, it is business so it is my business as well. Don't you think so?" He said.

"No." Dad said.

"You really think your daughter is READY to face the world. Our world?" Tim asked.

What world?

"She is." Dad said.

I looked at Caroline to see she was already staring at me.

"Oh haha. You sure? Elsa, the princess didn't really liked the bad people. And now, you want her to be the boss of the bad people." Tim asked curiosity hanging on his words.

"My princess is a grown up. And what we do is nothing bad. Once she gets to understand what working together and trusting each other really means, I think she will do the best." My father replied.

Oohkayyy. Elsa is me. What the hell.

I am not the one to run the business. I don't even know what business!

"Do you know who they are talking about?" I asked Caroline.

"Yeah....you." she replied.

I just nodded my head when-

"WHAT!" I yelled suddenly when things finally got together in my dumb head.

That night, they all Laughed because it wasn't Caroline.. it was me who was selected to run my father's empire.

It was me who is supposed to play the boss role and actually do it.

But why?

"Were you both eavesdropping girls?" Dad asked when bursting into the room. I could see Tim getting inside the room as well.

"Haha no! " Caroline said being nervous.

"Carol?" Dad asked me.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"You look suprised." He stated.

"Thank you for stating the obvious." I replied and sighed.

"....how much did you guys listen?" Tim asked.

"Non of your business." I replied to him.

He just rolled his eyes and smirked with a knowing spark in his eyes.

My dad also had his lips tugged upward.

This is strange. Atleast hey find something common to laugh at. Ugh. Even if that's me.

"Anyways, why were you surprised?" Dad asked.

"I thought it was Caroline..-"I started to speak.

"Caroline what?" He asked me.

"Let me finish dad. I thought Caroline is the one who will be getting in the business/empire and not me!" I said.

"Carol....it was always you." Dad said.

"Not that I am saying Caroline can't, but I Know you are the one to run the business. Caroline and you both are equal to me..try to understand.." he said looking at me directly.

Ofcourse. It's me. The one to save the day.
But I can't deny the fact that I do love running things...

"Hell...hello..." Someone greeted in the background. His voice is familiar.
