I walked inside the building and all heads turned to look at me.
*Oh, that’s Longworth daughter*
*Wow, she’s beautiful*
*She’s the daughter of the man that owns thispany*
They kept on murmuring and l just kept my head straight.
I branch at the receptionist post and she smiled.
“Miss Fontana. It’s really an honor getting to see you like this. If you don’t know, you’re my role my model and…”
“Please”I cuts in with a gentle smile.
The least I want now is listening to her words which I’d heard from so many people all this while.
“I am here to see my dad. Which floor?”I asked.
“If you don’t mind, I can take you there”she volunteered.
“Nope. You still have a lot of customer to deal with”I replied.
She nced behind me and nodded.
“Okay. Second floor. Walk down to the end of the hallway and you will sight the elevator which will take you there”she directed and i nodded.
“Thanks”I smiled and she nodded rapidly.
I started walking away with the guards and when we reached the end of the hallway, just like thedy had said, we sighted the elevator.
“We will upy the other elevator, ma’am”the guard said and I nodded.
I pressed the button and it dings opened.
I stepped in and the door slided close and punched the number of floor I was going and the elevator started going up.
I brought out my phone from my purse and logged in on the web.
Just like I suspected.
News about me being in my dad’spany has gone viral.
I scoffed and shook my head.
Being a public figure in the city sure isn’t good.
I turned my phone off and kept it back in my pocket.
The elevator jolts to a stop and slowly, it sprawled open.
I sighed and stepped out.
The guards also came out of the other elevator and we walked to the secretary.
“Miss Fontana”she called.
“Hey. Is my dad in?”I asked.
“Of course, you can go in. Infact, he has been waiting for you for a while now cause he’s supposed to be in a meeting by now”she expounded and I nodded.
I nced at the front and there I saw dad sitting on his chair.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
His office was made of ss so I can see him clearly.
I walked to the door and as I made to knock, his voice stopped me.
“Juste in. How can you knock on your dad’s door before entering”he said.
I pushed the door opened and closed it back when I got in.
The guards stood outside waiting for me.
“Hey, dad”I waved.
“Hey, daughter. Who was that guy”he asked.
My heart leapt and I stared at him closely.
Did he saw Darrel and I together?.
He couldn’t have possibly seen us right?.
“Dad?, which… which guy”I stuttered, keeping a confused face on.
“I saw you got out of that guy’s car. Tell me, is he your boyfriend?”he asked and mped his palms together then ced it on the desk with his eyes focused on me.
Gosh.
I blushed in embarrassment and took my face away.
“He’s.. he’s nobody, dad. Just a friend”I replied.
He removed his hands on the desk and spinned his chair around.
“Why does it take you minutes to answer, and why did you blush?”he asked and folded his arms.
Geez.
“I didn’t…”I tried saying.
“And you said he’s nobody, so how can a nobody be your friend”he added.
God.
This is driving me nuts!.
I sighed and walked more closer to him.
“Did you ask me toe here so you could interrogate me?”I asked, feigning a defiant look cause I’m damn scared if him finding out about Darrel and I inwardly.
“Of course not”he shook his head.
“Then why?. Anyway, I must admit, you’re a good interrogator”I chuckled and nced down at the files in front of him.
“And what if he’s actually my boyfriend”I blurted out.
Dad face beamed and he looked up at me.
“Really?”
“I only said what if, dad”I answered.
“Okay. You will have to bring him home so I could interrogate him and ask about other stuff”
“Just like you interrogated me?”I asked and nced at him.
“Okay. If you don’t know, you’re also interrogating me right now”heughed and I smiled.
I can’t believe I managed to twist him with words.
“Uhm, so, why did you call me here”I asked and he nodded..
“Right. I want to introduce you in the board room”he answered.
Oh.
“But, is that necessary?”
“Of course. You will take over thispany after I retired”he replied and stood up.
“Huh?, but I’m not interested in it”
“You’re my only child so you have no choice cause I already made you my heir right from the day you were born”he exined and grabbed some files on his desk.
“Follow me”he muttered.
“But…”I tried saying but kept shut when dad turned to me.
I huffed and trailed behind him to the door.
He opened it and we stepped out.
The guards bowed to him and he waved his fingers at them.
I walked behind him while the guards also walked behind me.
We walked for a long time before we finally got to a room which has a bold inscription of *Board meeting room*on it.
The guards stopped walking while we moved in and the people turned to look at us.
“I apologize foringte,dies and gentlemen”dad started as he walked over to his seat.
The people got involved with a side talk while staring at me.
Gosh.
Where am I suppose to seat.
Hmph.
I guess I will just stand like this since I won’t be taking long.
“So, in ourst meeting, I said I will bring my daughter to introduce her to you guys because she will be taking over thepany after my retirement”he exined and they all nodded.
“One thing, Mr Longworth. A woman can not control thispany, we need…”one of them stated.
“Excuse me?. This is mypany so I get to take decision and I haven’t ask about your opinion on this”dad replied brusquely.
“I’m sorry”the man apologized.
“Anyway, so, there’s my daughter – Fontana. She will be the next heir to thispany”dad introduced while stretching his hand forth towards me and the people turned to look at me once again.
The room soon broke into murmurs.
“You can go, Fontana”dad said to me and I nodded and left the room.
God.
I met the guards at the doorstep and then, we started moving away.
“We’re heading to the show from here”I announced as we walked away.
At the show.
Elsa stared at me expecting an answer to the question she asked.
I had kept Darrel headband in my purse at home and on my way here, I had fixed it on my hair.
When I arrived on this show, Elsa stared asking me questions and suddenly, she asked why I has put on the headband on my hair the first time I came here and then, now.
I didn’t know what to say to that.
Elsa stared at me expecting and answer to her question.
I sighed softly and took my eyes away from her.
“It’s my boyfriend’s”
