SEBASTIAN'S POV
we all get in the car and the drive starts our journey to the city, I turn to Louise, my mood still foul from the incident,
How many times do I have to tell you to make sure she doesn't enter the mansion?
He shifts uncomfortable in his seat before replying,
I did boss...but the old security team left for some reason...we don't know why but I guess the new team didn't know about it...
I see Liam visibly uncomfortable in his seat,
Just train them better.
I tell Louise before going back to reading my documents and I steal a glance towards Liam, who seemed to be in deep thoughts...it's none of my business but I can't help but wonder that's he thinking. We all arrive at the first location to sign a major contract, we all walk inside and the place seems empty, it's a Saturday so it would make sense but the place is oddly empty, silence and then from a corner we spot someone familiar,
Hey Christian!
Louise shouts at the man and soon he comes closer,
Good morning everyone.
Christian said with that same professional look he always has
Where's chance?
I ask him
Boss is in the CEOs office with Mr and Mrs Ford.
I look at him confused,
What are mom and dad doing here?
I ask him, since they don't normally leave their mansion unless absolutely necessary,
Theh wanted to supervise this deal as well, they said it's a major one and that there is no room for any mistakes
I nod and make my way to the CEO with Louise following me, leaving everyone else in the lobby. I enter the office with Louise behind me and low and behold my parents are there, my dad looks at me with that same stoic expression I've been seeing since I was a child,
Took you long enough
PHOENIX'S POV
I'm standing in the lobby with Ethan, kind of bored but also curious, (his parents are here...wonder what they're like...)
I guess it's just you and me buddy
Ethan turns to me and chuckles,
Yeah..me, you and a dozen other guards.
Ethan chuckles lightly,
Yeah it's protocol...boss never goes anywhere without at least ten guards.
I look at him in surprise,
Can your boss not fight?
I ask him,
He can but why bother when you have so many people to do it for you.
He replied and it made sense,
So...tell me about his parents.
I ask him to fill my curiosity,
Well... Marcus Ford and Diana Ford...these two are one of the most influential and dangerous people in the country...
I look at him shocked, he continues
Yeah...his mom is nice enough when need be but his dad is a bit much...
I look confused,
How much?
I ask him not expecting the answer,
Very...he's super strict and disciplined...he once fired a chef because his spoon was still wet from the wash...
I look at him dumbfounded,
That's it?? He was fired for that?
Ethan looks at me and nods
We walk on eggshells around him...we still can't believe Mr Chance is his son too...the total opposite...
I nod slowly, he sighs and continues,
It is what it is...he's the one in power...what can we do
I nod and agree when all of a sudden the doors to the office opens and all of them walk out, it's like a scene from a movie, Mr Ford walks out first with an aura around him that could wilt flowers and Mrs Ford follows beside him, he dress looks expensive, expensive enough that it's probably worth more than my college tuition and following behind them is a man, he's young, maybe army age, good posture carrying a briefcase, behind them Sebastian and Chance follow, Louise to the right of Sebastian and Christian at the left of Chance. The whole family screamed power with the expensive suits and that aura around them that dared anyone to mess with them. They all talk in the lobby and I see Chance approaching me,
Hey Liam how's work been? Has brother been giving you a hard time?
He looks at me with that same playful look
Work has been fine Mr Chance.
I reply trying to stay professional.
We're going to sigh the contract, let's go.
He takes my arm and drags me to the office,
(Fuck I totally forgot why I came here in the first place...let's get this over with..)
