Enough waiting, David! We should set a date for the wedding. What are we waiting for now?
David Bennett (ML dad)
(Sighing)Vanessa, we haven't even set up a proper meeting. Rushing things won’t help.
Zoe Bennett (ML sis)
(Smirking as she scrolls through her phone) Oh please, dad. Like Jace has a choice. He’s basically married to his work already. Maybe a wife will finally teach him how to take a break.
Jace Bennett (ML)
(Rolling his eyes, sipping his coffee) Joe, your commentary is unnecessary.
Vanessa Bennett (ML mom)
(crossing her arms) You’re both acting like this isn’t important. This is about your future, Jace! I’ve already waited long enough
Jace Bennett (ML)
(Exasperated) Mom, you act like I’m the one holding this up. It’s a business deal, isn’t it? You and Dad should be handling it, not me.
Zoe Bennett (ML sis)
(suddenly looking up, curious): Wait, who even are these people?
David Bennett (ML dad)
(adjusting his glasses) The Carter family.
Zoe Bennett (ML sis)
Carter? As in Carter Enterprises?
Vanessa Bennett (ML mom)
(nodding) Yes. Their business aligns with ours. Merging our families will strengthen both companies.
Zoe Bennett (ML sis)
Huh. Interesting. The youngest daughter of the Carter family, Lily, is actually in my class
Zoe Bennett (ML sis)
(shrugging) Never talked to her, though. She’s nothing like me. More of a mystery, I’d say.
Jace Bennett (ML)
(disinterestedly checking his watch) And why should I care?
Vanessa Bennett (ML mom)
Good then you’ll meet her soon. I’ll arrange everything.
Jace Bennett (ML)
(groaning, standing up) Fine. Whatever. But don’t expect me to be excited about this.
He walks out, heading to his car, already annoyed about the day ahead.
