Business party
Laurel POV
I am someone who doesn’t love attending parties except when it will be beneficial to me.
That is why I decided to attend the Engagement party of Mr. AJ’s daughter so I can discuss my interest in investing in his wine company.
Being the Ceo of Goldman group of companies,
I hardly attend parties even though I receive invitation from many companies to attend their parties be it private parties or company related parties because my dad won’t keep nagging me to attend any of the mating parties and find myself a mate or still find any beautiful girl so I will be able to forget about the past.
When I refused, my Dad used any opportunity he got to make my life uncomfortable for me. That is why I will always live the mansion to the club.
Because there I will have a little peace of mind.
And thank God. Am now married if not my dad would have been doing same thing again.
It was 4 pm when my phone started ringing and when I check the caller id it was my PA calling and I picked the call
Yes, what do you want this time around? I asked him
Hope you are prepared because it is already 4 pm. He said
Did you just call me just to tell me it was 4 pm? I asked
Have you forgotten the engagement party is at 6 today. He said
Fuck! I forgot that it was today. He said
You are lucky I called you early enough if not…let me not say it you best know.
Ever since I know you this is the first time you have done something good.
So I will treat you to lunch tomorrow.
If you say so and don’t forget because I will remain you tomorrow. My PA said and switched off the call.
After the call came to an end I walked to my room freshen up and then took out my normal office suit and put on that a black suit, white shirts and my black shoes not forgetting to put on my Rolex watch.
There is no need for me to over-dress just to go attend a little girl’s engagement party.
Am sure there will be so many men there who will be entertaining her with their flirtful words while I will be using that time to discuss with her parents about my investment.
Today, I won’t attend that party without Tiara because I don’t want to bore her with company problems.
So I will attend alone and by the way she is even pregnant so that will stress my baby too.
I took my phone and my car key and walked downstairs we’re I met both my wife and my dad discussing.
These two if not that I know them I would have thought my Dad loved my wife but I know they just have but the father and daughter born which they never experience.
Tiara, I will be going to a business party right now. I will see you soon. I said to Tiara.
Are you sure you don’t want me to come along with you? Tiara asked me.
No, it is fine. I don’t want you to stress yourself again.
So just stay in the mansion.
I said to her and walked out of my mansion and drove in my direction.
I got to one point then I recall.
If I am going to the party for a business purpose then I need to go with my PA. So I decided to call him.
Where are you? I asked Neo the moment he picked the call.
I am outside Mr. AJ mansion. He answered
Wait for me I will be there in a bit. I said and ended the call.
After I ended the call I drove the car to Mr. AJ mansion.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
When he got there the security guard opened the gate and he drove his car inside and packed it at the packing lounge where there were several cars of all types of expensive mark present there.
I got down from the car and I was about to go search for my PA.
when I saw his figure standing beside the door of the mansion. He walked to me.
Thank God you are here. I thought grass would grow on my legs before you came here. He said nonchalantly.
You can still wait for the grass to grow on your legs before you follow me inside.
And yes before I forget I hope you are holding files.
Can’t you be a little bit romantic? He said with a sad face.
Your wife is at home. You can go there so she can be romantic with you. I said and walked inside the mansion.
I pity your Wife. He said from behind me
You don’t need to pity her because I am only romantic to her. I said while looking for Mr. And Mrs. AJ
Will you help me find the person I am looking for or do you want to remain here and be talking about my wife and I.
After he heard what I said he left the place in search of Mr. AJ
Due to the excess population of people in the house it was very difficult for them to find Mr. AJ
After several attempts to find Mr. AJ I was lucky enough to finally find him. He was with some people if I am not wrong it might be his business people.
I walked to where he was standing.
Greetings Mr. AJ
Greetings Mr. Goldman’s . I am so happy you honored my invitation.
Thanks Mr. AJ. By the way Mr. AJ I have some business proposals I would love to discuss with you. I said
Alright, Mr. Goldman’s but you will need to wait a bit let me attend to my other guess first before we can discuss.
But Sir I won’t take much of your time
All I need is just 10 minutes of your time.
Alright Mr. Goldman, follow me to my study room.
After what Mr. AJ said we both walked to the direction of his study room only for us to be stopped at the entrance of his study room by his wife.
Love, don’t tell me you are having a meeting even at your daughter’s Engagement party. Mrs AJ asked
No, love, it won’t take long Mr. Goldman’s and I have some stuff to discuss. The highest is about 20 minutes and we will be outside.
Just by the mention of the name Mr. Goldmam’s by Mrs AJ husband surprised the woman to her surprise.
Because everyone in the city knows that Mr. Goldman doesn’t like attending parties since he doesn’t like crowds so it was actually shocking to her that Mr. Goldman’s attended her daughter’s engagement party. She turn and greeted him
Greetings Mr. Goldman
Greetings Mrs. AJ
Alright then love, let me leave you guys so you can continue with where you were going. Mrs. AJ said and left their said
Sorry about that Mr. Goldman let’s continue. Mr AJ said and walked inside his study room.
Just as I was about to enter the study I saw a familiar face from afar and that face looked like someone I don’t want to see again in my life.
So what is she doing here? I asked myself.
I was about to go back to the sitting room to find the person when I heard my name.
Then I recalled that I have some important business with Mr. AJ so I went inside the study room.
Just as I imagine Mr. AJ accepted my proposal and he agreed to go through my file and he will then fix a date so the contract could be signed.
That is an additional bag for me. We later went out of his study to go join the others.
The moment I got to the party room I was stopped by my PA’s voice.
I have been looking for you ever since and I even called your number but it was not available.
I was with Mr. AJ. I answered
You saw Mr. AJ? Because I have been looking for him ever since.
There is no need for you to look for him again because he has already accepted my investment.
What! You must be joking right? Micheal asked
You know I never joke with something as important as me investing in a business right?
Wow, that good news then. At least I can now enjoy myself at this party. he said
Don’t just enjoy and forget you have a wife at home waiting for you. I said and left his side.
He never forgets to remind me I have a wife but when I ask him to give me some time to go spend with my wife he refuses. My PA said to himself angrily.
My original plan was to leave the party immediately Mr. AJ accepted my investment but after I noticed that someone from my past is also at this party I became more anxious.
I really want to meet that person and ask the question which has been in my mind for a long time so I can continue with my life.
I said to myself as I continued going round the party room in search of the person. But I was stopped by Mr. AJ.
Mr. Goldman please. I would love to introduce you to my daughter Cindy.
She is with her fiance but her mother will be bringing her soon.
Just after Mr AJ spoke I could see the woman Mr. AJ introduced to me a few moments ago as his wife walking towards us with a younger version of herself and I am sure she is the lady that got engaged today. And I won’t lie, the lady was very beautiful.
Mr. Goldman, I would love to introduce you to my daughter Cindy. He said
Wow! I must say Mr. AJ, your daughter is very beautiful and she looks just like her mother.
Thanks for the compliment. She answered
Congratulations on your engagement also and I wish you a happy married life. I added
She smiled and thanked me.
By the way, I brought you and your future husband a gift.
Please don’t be mad at what you see because I never knew what I could bring
but I just hope you and your future husband love this gift.
I said and gave her the bag which she happily collected and opened her own gift.
It was two Rolex watch which was inside and she was so excited.
Thanks so much. Mr. Goldman’s for the gift.
Is nothing. You dad and I are business partners so I was just doing what I could do. I answered her.
