Solana's POV

I walked towards the unit and when I got in I saw Kris in the living room watching an interview with one of the artists that she handles.

"Hi," I greeted them and sat beside her.

"Hi," she responded her eyes still fixated on the TV.

"How's the party?" she asked then looked at me.

"Tiring," I said then leaned my head on her shoulder.

Kris wrapped her arms around my shoulder and then softly caress it.

"Dis you see Alton there?" she asked.

I slowly nod my head and then closed my eyes wanting so badly to rest.

"Did something happen?" she asked.

"Like he always does, he annoyed me again," I said while my eyes are still closed.

"So is it true that Allison and him have a relationship?" she asked.

I open my eyes and lift my head and turned my head on Kris.

"Dad called him son-in-law, Kris, in front of me," I said and it sounded like I am complaining but I didn't mean it to sound that way.

"And I can tell that you didn't like it," she said.

Here she goes on teasing me again.

But I chose to walk beside her."What are you doing?" she asked, irritation evident in her voice."Walking," I sarcastically replied, which made her roll her eyes.We reached the coffee shop, and Solana ordered three coffees. I knew I wasn't included, so I ordered my own. We headed back to the hospital.Solana handed the coffees to Allison and Beatrice."Thank you, Solana," Beatrice said, smiling warmly at her.Solana smiled back and nodded, then turned her attention to her father, who was now sleeping."Solana," Beatrice called, and Solana looked at her, awaiting her next words."Your dad only has a few months left," Beatrice confessed, and I saw sadness cross Solana's face upon hearing this news."I'm thinking maybe you can stay at our house so you can spend more time with your dad," Beatrice suggeste

Eventually, I broke the hug and looked at Kris.Her eyes were filled with sadness. Tears welled up in the corners.Kris cupped my face and used her thumb to brush away my tears."I'm here," she reminded me, which made me smile and nod."I know," I said."I'll move out tomorrow morning to be with Dad.

Beatrice took a seat on Dad's other side, leaving Alton no choice but to sit next to Allison.I could feel his eyes stealing glances at me, so I made an effort not to look in his direction. "I'll get some popcorn," Allison volunteered, standing up and creating a gap between Alton and me. Seizing the opportunity, Alton inched closer to me. I scooted towards Dad, to avoid being near him."What's wrong?" Dad asked, looking at me with confusion. I shook my head, mustering a smile. "Nothing, Dad," I replied, turning my attention to the TV. But as time passed, Alton's skin brushed against mine, prompting me to turn my head and give him a death glare."Move away," I whispered, but he merely smiled at me and redirected his gaze to the TV. Minutes later, Allison returned with the popcorn, but in

It was a significant amount that I couldn't simply disregard.Taking a deep breath, I made up my mind and spoke."Fine, I will work for your company," I said. As he heard my words, he lifted his head and looked at me, clearly taken aback."You will work for me?" he asked, seeking confirmation.I sighed deeply and nodded.A smile began to grace his lips, but he quickly bit his lower lip, restraining himself from showing too much emotion.I took a seat in front of him, ready to discuss the details of the job he was offering."So, what will my job be?"
