2024-10-29 19:42:56"Dad, do I really have to go? Brother could have gone since he's the one who is good at business?" Gabriella tried to persuade her father for the nth time but he was hell bent on making her go to that meeting. She had been having a bad feeling about the meeting but she couldn't place her hands on it so that was why she tried getting herself out of it.
She had received a call from her father early in the morning that their was an emergency that needed her attention and she had to put her studio's work aside because her father sounded really urgent. She had no idea it was a meeting with someone famous and she didn't like the sound of it but she knew she will have to do it in the end.
Mr Jones looked at his beautiful daughter and couldn't even look at her straight in the eyes because of what he was about to subject her to. She was his only daughter and he hated what he was doing but he had no otherwise, this was his only chance. He knew he was being selfish but he hoped his daughter would understand him.
"Ella, you know your brother is busy and I could have gone instead of him but I'm busy too. It will only take if more, just 30 minutes and it's all done. Do it for daddy, okay?" Mr Jones said while holding onto Gabriella's hands and rubbing it softly. He was using her soft spot but he had to do it.
She knew, her brother, Sam, was really busy. Although her brother is a lawyer, but he has always been good with business and would help their dad whenever he could. Like then, he was busy looking for partnership from his connections for his dad. Their family business has been undergoing some difficulties and if no one influential came in to their aid, they'll have to declear bankruptcy.
She had seen her father and brother busy all the time but she has been unable to do anything since she didn't have much connection as them and she really wished she could do something to help since they have also done a lot to help with her studio.
"Alright daddy, I'll go then but just this once," she finally relented. If this was what she could do to help her family, then she would do it.
"I hope so Ella, I really hope so," Mr Jones mumbled as he brought his daughter into a tight hug because he was not sure if he will have the chance to hug his daughter again after today. Knowing his daughter, their relationship would change after that meeting.
Why couldn't he tell his children? Because they will be very against it especially his son who has always spoiled and protected his little sister. He had looked for help everywhere but no one was willing to help him because it seemed like he had offended some big shot and The Williams are the only people who could save his company because in Country Z, there was no one bigger than The Williams.
He had received Seth Williams word earlier on that he would help him but the price to pay was his daughter but he had been procastinating on rejecting that opportunity but he couldn't anymore. His family's legacy would fall and there would be no one to protect his children. He hoped that they would forgive him in the future.
"Ella, you have to hurry. The driver is already waiting for you. Just know that daddy loves you always and will never do anything to harm you, alright baby?"
"I know dad, but why are you saying all these right now?" Gabriella didn't like the way her father was talking, it was like he was saying goodbye to her.
"Just know that always," Mr Jones kissed Gabriella's forehead before escorting to the waiting vehicle. as he watched his daughter get inside the car, he looked up to the sky and mumbled a 'sorry, please forgive me'. He was saying sorry to his wife because the family they put together was soon falling apart and he was the cause of it.

Chapter Two"I'll be waiting at the parking lot Miss," the Jones driver informed Gaby Jones after opening the door of the car for her and seeing her walk off. Gaby just nodded her head and made her way towards the entrance of Williams Group. Knowing her father's driver, he wouldn't go back even if she told him to go back."Hello, how may we help you?" The ladies at the reception were very polite which shocked Gaby. The Williams have always been proud people and she expected their employees to be the same but she was clearly mistaken."Hello, I have an appointment with Mr Williams?" Gaby made it sound like a question because she wasn't sure. After all, she knew nothing of the meeting until her father called her in the morning so she wasn't sure if the appointment was booked in her name or her father's."Oh Miss Jones, right this way. Mr Williams is expecting you," one of the ladies made her way out her desk and motioned her towards the exclusive elevator.'Seems like he's been expectin

"Please," he gestured at Gaby as he motioned for her towards his office and murmured a thank you to the receptionist leaving the receptionist in shock. That would be the first time Seth Williams talked out to his employees politely out of his initiation. She could not even form words as she nodded continuously as the doors of the elevator closed.'Why can't things be said about Mr Williams in this company,' she lamented to herself. She wished she could such thing with her fellow employees but she really loved her job. She didn't want to get fired. She didn't even want to think about the fact that Seth Williams himself had received Gaby on his own, he could have just let his assistant do it or she could have taken her up to his office. "You look shaken, are you alright?" Her fellow receptionist asked her after she went back to their desk seeing how shaken and sweaty she was."Uh no, no, I'm alright," her voice was still shaking as well. Seeing that she wasn't going to say anything, th

"It feels so comfortable, I love it," she had even forgotten why she was there in the first place. 'Why is this man treating me so gently like I am not here for business. First, he meets me at the elevator and now asking me if I love his office. Am I missing something?' she thought to herself but didn't voice it out.She was there for a business meeting and that's the only thing she should focus on, not his special attention towards her."Then make yourself comfortable. What should I get you?" Seth was just watching her quietly battle with herself without saying anything. He didn't want to come out as a...player, he could call it that."Warm water please," Gaby had had her breakfast before her dad called her so she was opting for something warm and light since it was still early in the morning and still a little cold. She made herself comfortable at the only one-seater sofa available in the room.If she sat in the two-seater, what are the chances of Seth sitting at the same space as h

If she heard it from him and not her father, things might become really bad to him. He didn't want to bring the situation from bad to worse. He had already done enough damage."Mr Williams, you know I'm not really into my father's business but I know your company have yet to get into real estates. There is no company that performs well in real estates than my father's. If you bring him back to his feet, I'm sure that you would not regret your decision," she couldn't say more but the little she said was really facts.Seth had to agree that she was right. There was no any other real estates companies that could compare to the Jones'. They had been in the industry for long and had the best deals. That was also the reason why she had agreed to help the Jones' in addition to getting their daughter too."Miss Jones, you haven't said much but I'm pretty convinced. Indeed your father's company is the best and I really want to invest in the real estate. Since your company is already leading in

"Then I'll get going Mr Williams," she had to see her father and hear what kind of agreement that only needed her to agree to for their company to be back on their feet."Alright, I'll just walk you out then," Seth stood from his seat as Gaby started walking out of his office. Apart from wanting to know whatever from her father, she was also running away from Seth, being in the same space as him was clearly not a good thing for her.Seth pressed the elevator button for Gaby after they arrived at the elevator doors before turning to her saying, "I'll be expecting your reply Miss Jones, and like I said don't blame your for the decision he had to make. Whatever he does, he does it for his family. You should be thankful that you still have a family that can still protect you. Think positive about whatever your dad did.""Have a good day Mr Williams,* Gaby said as she stepped into the elevator. She could see Seth Williams send her off with his eyes until the doors finally closed. Gaby fina

Even when their company was on the verge of bankruptcy, he never called them even once to ask them for help. Sam had helped out of his own volition because he knew how bad the company's state was. This matter must have been very pressing for him to call them."Let's talk together when she's here," Mr Jones had resigned himself to his fate."No need dad, I'm already here," at that moment Gabriella's voice was heard as she strode towards the sitting room and placed the document on the table not so gently making the both of them surprised because they had never seen Gabriella so mad."You mind explaining what is happening dad? You made me look like a fool, going to that meeting without all the details. And why is your company's decision left on my shoulders? You know I want nothing to do with the company, but why am I being put in between and from the looks of it, if everything doesn't come back to normal, I'll be the one to be blamed?""Gaby, I hope you won't blame your father for the s

Gabriella on the other hand now understood why Seth Williams had given her so much attention. Even without her saying anything, it seemed like he had known her for a very long time and understood her well, he knew her likes and the things that made her comfortable. He had really done his homework well."It's okay anyway." Gabriella's sentence made her father and brother turn to her. That was the most unexpected response Mr Jones was expecting from his daughter. Since she had been pampered by him and her brother, nobody ever tells her to do anything she doesn't want."What did you say?" Both father and son asked synchronically."I know, but if this is what it will take to get dad back on his feet, then I'll do it. Seth Williams is such a huge thigh that we should definitely cling on in order to deal with whoever is causing the company's troubles," she was not that much against going out with Seth Williams, he was a handsome young man who every lady in the city wished they could have, y

She almost slapped herself for forgetting such a serious issue. That grace period of one week from Seth Williams had given her so much freedom that she even forgot about it. When she checked the date, she was glad she wasn't out of time because that was the last day that Seth Williams wax expecting a response from her and also when their company's destiny would be decided."Miss Jones, you are a tricky one," that was the first word that came from Seth Williams' mouth when Gabriella Jones finally called him on the last day he had given her to think about her decision regarding her father's company. "Mr Williams, I'm in time just like you had indicated during our meeting," Gabriella was not going to go along with Seth's direction. Like her brother Sam said, she was not an easy target."I see," Seth Williams chuckled hearing Gabriella's reply. His voice was so deep on the phone that it made Gabriella's stomach full of tingly sensations. She tried as much as possible not to speak so that
