Chapter 3 Meeting an old friend

NICKLAUS POV

"For you to take over the company, you need to get yourself a girlfriend, which is why I brought Amelia, you both loved each other when you were kids, I don't know of know that you are matured but you guys can try if you two can work out" dad said and I smiled lightly.

"Dad, I and Melia were just kids then, it's just a silly childhood crush and then, Melia is a gorgeous young lady so I don't expect her not to have a boyfriend dad" I said calmly and dad looked at me, I know that look, he definitely has something under his sleeves.

"Luckily son she is still single which means she's open for any relationship" he said with the look of determination that he's gonna answer any question I ask him.

"Okay dad but we have been away from each other from a long time and I don't have any feelings for her, we can still be friends though" I said emphasizing the word friends.

"I hope you make the right decision son and when are you gonna get yourself a girlfriend" he said calmly this time.

"I'll definitely get myself a girlfriend soon........ and I remember we were three then, what about Ana dad?"

I asked looking at dad expectantly, I perfectly remember everything now, Ana was the youngest among us then and she has the sharpest mouth too, she suddenly disappeared with her mom, only God knows how she is doing now.

"I really don't know anything since her mom fled with her and Roberts has not said anything too, pls let's be more focused on you being in a relationship, that's one of the excuses the boards will make to say you are not responsible, pls son" he said calmly "Dad I understand but we can't still overlook the fact that Dabe is the rightful inheritor of the Company, he is your first child, his right should not be affected by your own mistake, him being illegitimate son sh......."

I was interrupted by a sudden clap from the door, I looked back and my eyes met with Dave's eyes.

"Waowwww, I didn't know a family meeting is going on here, anyways the first but the illegitimate child of the Knights is here (he took a sit) So the meeting can continue" he grinned, should I say evil grin because it looks like one, dad took a long deep breath.

"Dave I didn't ask you to come in here, I'm discussing some things with your brother" dad muttered but loud enough for both of us to hear.

"Why? So you can give him company? So he can be favored? Oops I forgot I am the illegitimate son, I......" I quickly cut him off before he gets the wrong idea.

"What are you talking about bro, calm down, the issue is totally different....." he interrupted me.

"What? Did you not call me an illegitimate child right before I entered? I never wanted to be the CEO too but it's totally unfair not to seek my opinion sometimes too dad, it's bad" he curled his right hand into a fist with all his muscles popping out, I guess he is trying so hard not to lash out on Dad and probably me, he went out and slammed the door loudly, dad heaves a deep breath.

"Are you okay dad?" I asked because he looks a bit shaken.

"I'm okay Nick, can you pls help me talk to your brother? He got it all wrong" he said with a pleading face.

"Where did he get it wrong? Dad you have always been unfair to him and I've been telling you, he is human too and he deserves to be loved, it's your mistake for having extramarital affair, but he is not a mistake, he is your son, your first child and you have to treat him like one, he obviously hates me too now" I said in one breath and made to stand.

"I'm sorry, I will try to make amends" he said quietly.

"You should him sorry not me dad, good night" I stood up and walked to the door, without looking back.

"Don't try dad, make amends" with that i walked out of the door and closed it gently. Getting to the sitting room, I met mom and Melia talking, I went to my mom's side and kissed her cheeks.

"I will be going home now mom" I said and stood up but mom held me back.

"Nicky, Melia's driver left already, can you help drop her at home?" I perfectly understand what mom is tryna do, I'll just let it slide.

"Sure mom, let's go Melia" she stood up and we both bade mom goodbye.

******************

I waved Melia goodbye and ignited the car, we talked a lot and I got to know more about her present life, I can't believe she turned down her dad's offer of becoming the CEO of her dad's company, I wish I can do the same but no, I have to help rebuild my dad's company, I didn't know she is even the super hot model in the mouth of people, she is really doing well for herself, dad may be right, probably a relationship can work out. I pulled over at the garage in my house and i alighted from the car, today was fucking tiring.

***********************

I looked at mark as he laughed like a fool he is. "Are you done laughing?" I asked murdering him with my eyes.

"I'm not done, let me laugh a little more bro" he said and continued laughing hard holding his stomach.

"So you had to call him big bro before he forgave you?" He said and started laughing all over again.

"CAN YOU FUCKING STOP THIS MADNESS MARK?" I roared and I guessed that calmed him a little bit, he looks serious now.

"So you will be managing company for now, you will be in charge of everything and I trust you would not disappoint and I need you to get someone that can fill in the post of a personal assistant as soon as possible" I said in a very calm tone but authoritatively, he easily take things for a joke, I don't know what kind of brain he has.

"Yes boss, I will try to look for one as soon as I can boss" he said smartly.

"And make sure he or she knows where you get my morning coffee for me" I added.

"Understand boss" the moment he said that, my phone rang,I smiled reaching for my phone, I waved my hand and dismissed him.

"Hello Lia

"Hi Nicky, your secretary is not letting me in, she claims I don't have an appointment with you"

"That's how we do here, give your phone to her, let me talk to her (there was a little shuffling at the background)

"Hello boss" "Secretary Kim, let her in" "Okay sir" "Is that enough prove?" I heard Melia asking.

"I'm sorry ma"

"Hey Nicky" I heard and looked up

"What's up Lia" I stood up and we both hugged "I'm good" she said and dropped a basket on my table and I stared at her awkwardly.

"Well... I guess you didn't eat when coming to work so I brought you food" she said and smiled widely.

"Oh wow, thanks" I said and she brought out dishes from the basket with different foods

"Enjoy!"She said

"I can enjoy this feast alone, come let's enjoy together" I said and we both laughed lightly We ate together and had fun throughout the day.
