Isadora pov

“Isadora, what do you think you’re doing?”

“What do you think I’m doing?! Are you sick? I’m trying to talk with my father.”

“Don’t tell him.” He whispered to me and grabbed a hold of my arm but I immediately tried to pull myself off his grip, “Isadora…” he whispered to me.

“Oliver… are you nuts? You’re hurting me!” I whisper shouted, “I will scream if you don’t let go of me.” I flashed my eyes at him and immediately he let go of me.

He had his hands in the air, “At least just give me listening ears, don’t tell your father, look I’m sorry but the last thing we need right now is to complicate the plans we already have. Isadora, I cannot afford for us to loose this … we’re literally so close to getting what we want, we’ve always wanted this Isadora and now that we’re this close to getting it, we have to try our possible best to grasp it, quickly.” Oliver breathed.

I glared at him, very surprised and disappointed at the same. “So that’s all you’re worried?” I folded my arms at my chest.

“What do you mean?”

“Not even an apology, Oliver?”

“I said I was sorry, Isadora.”

“I can’t have this conversation with you.” I said to him and turned around to return to daddy’s office when he pulled me by my arm, “Isadora, please…”

“Oliver, please, stop.”

“You know what you are?! You're a manipulative bastard and I’m so disappointed because you haven’t changed one bit and I’m just super disgusted by this.”

“Isadora, I’m just trying to convince you not to tell your father what happened at Charles’ company. What happened should be between us.When we have misunderstandings, we should talk things out and settle things ourselves and not involve other external persons.”

“I honestly don’t know why you’re telling me this.”

“Isadora, I’m sorry, don’t tell your father .”

“Oliver… I’m not here to tell daddy that. What is wrong with you?!”

He exhaled softly, “Isadora… I’m sorry, don’t tell your father anything about that. I’ll leave you to go talk to him but please, don’t tell him anything that happened between us, once you two are done talking, we’ll talk things out, okay?” He grabbed my hands, his hands were shaky, “Isadora…” he breathed.

“Oliver… look, I don’t want to talk to you, you’ve ruined my day, I just … I just need space, I can’t …“ I pulled myself away from his grip, “I’m leaving and please don’t interrupt me and daddy.” I said to him and returned to daddy’s office.

“Honey? Are you two okay?” Daddy asked with his gaze on his system.

“Yeah…” I took a seat and exhaled, “Daddy, I’m tired and I’m sad and …”

“I’m sorry, honey. What happened between you two?— oh wait… I’m sorry, you two are a couple now, I don’t want to get between you two. The best thing to do as a married couple —“

“Daddy, we’re not married.” I interrupted.“I know …” daddy chuckled uncomfortably, “But as a married couple, whatever happens between you two should stay between you two.”

“Daddy, please …” I rested my head weight on my hands.

“Honey… what’s the problem?”

“Daddy, that dumb intern you sent to me as an assistant, I want him out! I want you to get him out, else I’m going to fire him, myself.”

“Honey… calm down, what happened?”

“Daddy, he turned my office upside down, he shredded important paperwork and he messed the whole place up, he’s just so incompetent and it’s Fricken annoying… and then there’s Oliver.” I rolled my eyes.

“Now don’t mention Oliver… about Rowan, please… he’s here because we are short on staff honey, after the company almost crashed, a bunch of the employees gave up their jobs. Rowan’s parents are your elder cousins, Rowan is family, honey, we can’t fire him.”

“Daddy, No! I can’t work with him.” “Honey, I want you to try at least, he’s just an intern and he doesn’t know how to do much. Daddy, when I say he’s imcompetent, I mean he acts like he never attended classes in university for one day, and he’s just horrible, horrible, Daddy!” I furrowed my brows at him while my hands were tightly clutched on the chair’s arm rest.

“Honey, I’m sorry but it will only be a matter of time till you get used to him, give him another chance.”

“Daddy, you don’t understand.” My voice broke as I spoke. I tried hard not to burst into tears but I couldn’t hold it in.“Issa, I know he’s been doing a horrible job—“

“You know what?” I got up from my seat and grabbed my purse so I would be able to leave just in time before the tears came rolling down but unfortunately, I was too late and I felt the wetness from the tears trickle down my face.

“Issa dear?” Daddy got up, “What’s the matter?!” He asked with great concern.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” I sniffled.

Oliver stormed into the room, “Issa?”

“Oliver, what is wrong with her?”Oliver hurried towards me and grabbed my arms. Gently, he enveloped me into a tight hug, “We should go.” He whispered to me.

“Sir, I’ll take Isadora home.” Oliver said to daddy and led me towards the door while daddy stared at us both with confusion written all over his face.
