Chapter 12 " Oh my goodness I'm getting a beadache . Wel adache . We have the fash the fashion show next week and we still have a lot to do " ] " Ma'am I have contacted Mr. Williams and he said that he will bring everything right on time " ] I looked at my secretary , Sarah and saw that sweat was trickling down her face . None of us had a good night's sleep . I pity everyone including myself . Days of sleepless nights gives me so much stress that sometimes I feel like buying a cottage in a village and taking care of cows for a living . " I employed Mr. Williams because he is known to be the best . But what is he doing now ? On time ? Now is the right time . What is he waiting for ? " I tried massaging my temples but the headache wouldn't go away . Even though I come from a rich family , I made this company from the ground up . by myself , at such a young age . So I never got to experience what other girls did . All I did was work and get stressed . ] I might have dated some men but never found love . I was sure that I would grow old with a cat beside me . ] " Oh ma'am , today your dad contacted me and said he has a problem in his business and would like it if you could help " " I don't know how to solve problems related to hotels . Does he not see I'm already busy with my own stuff ? " I gestured towards the stacks of papers lying on my table . Why is everyone trying to piss me off these days ? ] " But- " I raised my hand and stopped her before her chattering gives me more of a headache . She was not only my secretary but also a good friend . She was hard working and prefer everything to be spotless . I appreciate it a lot but sometimes it gets in my head . " Fine fine I'll call him threw my hands up in defeat . " What ? Dad nooo ! Why would I marry a stranger " I was utterly pissed right now . " Didn't I tell you about this earlier ? The director board want to have a promising bond with the Empire group . I know that I'm forcing you to do this . But you also know the risk . RJ group is not stable these days .

" And you also knew this was going to happen someday . You knew that the RJ would arrange your marriage since the day you joined the business . It's either today or any other day . That's the price everyone under RJ has to pay " ] " That's because RJ is the only group in the states with an ancient mindset . " I roll my eyes . [ ] " Lydia " I could hear dad's frustration in his voice . " You agreed to this several times in the past few days but then you pretend like you never heard of this . Why " [ ] " Okay stop .

Just try it out " ] My father talked like he was telling me to try on some dress and change it after I get bored .
