Partners By Chance

Chapter 61: I'm not married.

I look at him and I kind of feel bad for asking because he looks kind of hurt that I asked him that and his words sound so sincere.

He sighs. "Without this company, I wouldn't be able to take you to a private school, buy you the nicest cars, live in a huge house, give you-"

"I know, dad. It's just that a hundred percent ownership of this company is crazy! I don't even know what you do exactly, I just know that you're rich. I'm only twenty years old, I'm still young." I tell him, running my fingers through my hair.

"This company does a lot of things but as you know, our business is most international, and to remind you, your twenty-first birthday is coming up very soon."

"Yes, and I would please like a Rolls Royce Ghost Series II as my gift," I tell him.

"Sure but you would have to sell one of your cars. You have too many." He says.

Unbelievable!

"They're only eight, dad and I love them all."

He shakes his head. "They are filling up my garage. Sell one and I will buy you any car you want, I promise."

"Don't bother, I will buy it myself." I take a water bottle and start gulping.

My dad claps his hands. "Okay, now to talk about the main reason why I called you here, Peter invited Elle and I over for dinner and he said he would like it if you tagged a lot."

I spit out the water in my mouth on the carpet. "WHAT?!"

"That's a hundred and eighty thousand dollar carpet you spat on."

What the heck? That's a lot.

"There's a carpet that expensive?"

He shrugs. "Apparently. Diana designed this office and you know how extra she and your mum are."

"Yeah."

"I will see you tonight."

****

"It's going to be okay, Amelia." My mum assures me as we stand on Liam's front porch.

I'm so fucking nervous. I don't I've ever been this nervous in my life.

The door opens and Diana Black welcomes us with a smile. "Hellooo." She says and hugs me.

"Hi, Aunt Diana." I hug her back.

"Come on in." She says.

My heart starts pounding faster as I step into the house. It's crazy because I come here all the time but now I feel completely different.

Aunt Diana is talking to my parents but I can't hear what they are saying.

"Honey, can you please get Liam from his room?"

"Sure."

I take the elevator upstairs and walk to Liam's room, gently knocking on the door.

"Come back later!"

I roll my eyes and open the door.

One thing, he's a room is a mess.

I don't see him so I check his closet and find him there. The closet is also a mess and there are clothes everywhere.

"Are you okay?"

He jumps and turns to look at me.

"Did I scare you?" I laugh.

"Yes, were you the one knocking?"

"Yeah."

"I told you you don't have to knock."
