My mother's SON-IN-LAW Chapter 2: THE DATE

Chapter 2: CHAPTER 2 - THE DATE

Although I have always been taught to never bow my head for anyone (EVER), my parents have always been a huge exception to that rule, not to ntion Chris, who crosses that path whenever he has enough dirt on to blackmail to doing the most ridiculous things imaginable. Attending dates is sothing which I have been forced into for the last six months by my mother, in all honesty this is one of the deals Chris made agree to for a bet I lost due to my negligence with one of our company's lawsuits. And guess what? … Chris was the counsel for the opposing team, not that it was much of a shock to . He has always had a weird habit of making my life a living hell for so reason.

And of course, he was going to listen to everything which unfolds in my date. Even I don't know why I agree to his weird requests sotis.

Unlike most dates which I have always been forced to attend, this one in particular kept on my toes. When I first entered the restaurant, the man who waved his hand for my presence had a certain solemness about him. Although he had a faint smile plastered on his face, he was sohow not smiling as well, his eyes stared blankly at as I took my ti to scan his whole figure, right from his perfectly grood brownish-black hair, till the tip of his toes. He was both silent and intimidating at the sa ti. I knew the mont I laid eyes on him that he would not be an easy nut to crack, but of course I take a challenges very seriously.

I quickly waved back at him and made my way to the table he sat on which was on the left, furthest from other tables, whilst it gave the best view from the window which was right next to it. When I reached the table, the man stood from his seat as he flashed a simple smile as he dragged the seat in front of open and extended his right hand towards and said, "Good evening miss, I'm Liam Walker, thank you for gracing with your presence this evening." While leaving a slight peck on the back of my palm. I was taken aback by his sudden gesture that all I could answer him with was, "I, I, ..it's a pleasure Mr Walker, I'm Alicia Adams."

.........….

[a few hours before the date]

When I entered Chris's office, I could not believe the great Chris Adams was munching on the chocolate mousse cake he had conned mom to buy for him as an apology to for going against his own sister. I still don't understand what our parents see in him, he has always been shaless, utterly shaless. He had excused himself from the board eting to keep company while we discuss sothing about his new potential client which happens to be my biggest business rival.

"Hello Mr Adams, I hope you can spear a second for your kid sister" I said scornfully knowing well enough that my sarcastic remarks always rile him up. He glared at , instantly placing the cake in his hand as he motioned for to take a seat opposite his. I happily obliged of course. Annoyed by my sudden obedience he started speaking to as he placed his glasses back on, "What brings little Ally to my office today? Do you finally accept defeat, are you ready to run my firm with while you leave your company behind?" he asked as he chuckled loudly.

I couldn't help but glare at him hatefully as he knew that the company is sothing I would never trade for anything in the world.

"Although mom made you agree to date a few n to keep you busy from your workaholic nature, I think it's the perfect ti for to make you face your biggest challenge yet." He said as he smiled at devilishly.

I looked at him intently to try and decipher his thoughts but all he did was raise his right brow. And with that I nodded at his request silently. What shook next was when he said, "I want you to enjoy the date with the guy. I'm sure he will be a bit of a challenge for you to handle, but then I guess it's a good price to pay if I must cancel a huge deal with such great returns for your company don't you think?"

I couldn't understand what he ant by 'bit of a challenge' but knowing Chris, he probably planned this whole situation for months before making do it so I gave him another simple nod and he ended our conversation with the words, "make sure to keep your phone on you the entire ti, I want to listen to the whole date. It's a Friday night and I need a little break from work before I go on a weekend work trip."
