5

We arrived at a hotel called The Ritz. The view is particularly glistening and spectacular which could make one get lost in it…

"Wow" Kyra exclaims as Julian holds her hand. We drag our luggage to the lobby and got our room numbers.

Kyra and I walk into the room getting lost in the scenery.

"Mom" She said as she nudged my arm. "This is very beautiful"

"That's right darling" I said as I start to unpack our luggage.

"Mom, do we get to explore the city with Uncle Julian?"

I shook my head in disapproval "Uncle Julian will be too busy to do that, but I can create time for us both to do that".

She sighed. "If you can create time, why can't he do the same?".

I groan while trying to find an excuse to give her. "He is the CEO meaning he has to attend to a lot of things unlike me."

"That's unfair, he promised to take me to the park when we were talking on the plane" She said while stretching on the bed.

I silently curse while keeping my cool "We can both do that".

"It won't be fun if he isn't with us" She said making me raise my eyebrows.

"Are you implying that am not fun to be with?" I asked teasingly to which she grins.

"Maybe" She said before going to explore the rest of the room.

Julian and I walk into the four-storey building ready to meet with the investors...

"This way Mr Halle, he has been expecting you" A lady who seem to be in her mid-forties said as she leads us to an office.

Julian straighten his outfit just before we walk in making me wonder just why he seems to fear this person. "Julian, it is lovely to meet you again".

Julian scoff as the lady walks out "I can't say the same for you" he said making me wonder what sort of relationship the duo harbor.

The man smiles as he turns to me. "It is absolutely nice to finally talk to you Ms Anderson, unlike this fellow here. Am Charles by the way"

"Nice to meet you" I said as he shakes my hand.

"Aren't you supposed to be married and off limits to other women, stop staring as if you want to eat her alive" He said as he pulls out a chair and motion for me to sit.

When did he become nice?

Where did the selfish, egoistic bastard called Julian went?.

"And pray may I ask why in the world are you here and not your father?" Julian asks as the duo take their seat.

Charles smiles as he hands over a pen and paper to him. "Something came up, and he asked that I represent him, although he said you shouldn't forget about the dinner party tomorrow evening"

"I will see you tomorrow evening then" Julian said as he stood up.

"Alright and don't forget to bring along Ms Anderson"He said as if I am not in his presence.

We got into the car making our way back to the hotel.

"Do you think Kyra is going to be okay?" I asked after several minutes of silence between the both of us.

He smiles as he looks ahead. "Am pretty sure that James is doing a good job of babysitting her. It can't be that hard"

We finally reach the hotel only to meet the room in chaos with papers and toys scattered allover the room.

"I can explain" James said heavily breathing as if he just ran a marathon.

"I take it back. He is doing a bad job" Julian said as he looks shocked at the sight of the room.

"She is the most troublesome girl I have ever met, she is worse than Mira" He said trying to defend himself while Kyra is busy designing his cloth.

Julian tries to speak but just decided to give up.

"Remind me never to put you on babysitting duties ever again" He finally said as we start to clean.

"Gladly" James replied while Kyra chuckles sheepishly.
