UNEXPECTED VARIABLE

15

For my Four,

Today I'm gonna meet the investor to save my ass and that stupid son's ass.

Right now, I'm waiting in a movie theatre waiting for that investor to show up.

There I saw a person approaching me is none other than is, Mr. Joseph Harper who is my father.

"What are you doing here?" is the first question I blurted out.

"I'm here for a meeting."

"Why are you here?" my father asked.

"I'm also here for a meeting".

"Are you dating someone secretly without telling me?", pops asked me which led to a chuckle.

I have enough on my plate right now and I didn't need another asshole, I don't want to date anyone right now after witnessing the blind love of my boss (note my sarcasm).

It all came to me when I said that I remember that man is none other than my father's assistant.

"Don't tell me pops is this your plan to me?"

"What are you implying sneaky?"

"Do you the company's name that your meeting is on?"

"Bartholem Inc."

Oh! Shit.

"I'm the one that you have meeting with."

"If you're involved in this then I'm gonna cut my ties with you, Mr. Harper"

"I didn't even know you're the one that I'm going to meet, and I'm only interested in the project as it gives me potential returns of my investment and helps to enter in Australian market."

"Ok, I'll trust you Mr. Harper"

"Ok, are you going to refer me as Mr. Harper"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I'm professional and I don't mix my personal life with professional life."

(I want to call him Mr. Harper I love how it irritates him and when I call him Mr. Harper he makes a face which is a dp of phone which he doesn't know.)

After watching Eternals movie with my father, we are now in the restaurant near the theatre discussing the project and how he need invest in this project.

"I accept to all your terms and conditions and have no problem, I'm ready to invest the required amount but,"

There it is, but that I fear most from my father's mouth.

"What is it, Mr. Harper?"

"I want Ms. Everly Harper to stay with my family for time being to discuss further."  

"There is an electronic device called Smart phone and by using that you can ask any doubts regarding this project, Mr. Harper."

"Nah, I'm an old man, I need to have face to face conversations only when I want discuss business Ms. Harper what can I do?"

"It comes down to you whether like it or not if you want this investment you need to come and stay with me, my lovely wife and my stupid daughter who doesn't comes to home that often"

"Give me some time, Mr. Harper I need to discuss with my superiors before taking decision."

"OK, I let my wife to ready a room for you".

"My driver will be here to pickup you"

"Wait, I didn't agree to your condition."

"Definitely, tomorrow you'll be there in my house as you require this investment and by judging the look on you're face, you knew that if I reject this proposal no one gonna invest"

Sorry for late update.
