17 YEARS LATER
ANTHONY’S POV
"Yes, Mr Whitaker I will see you next week for the finalisation of the project," I told the man as we shook hands and stood up from the seating area of my office.
"Thank you, Mr Acland and I hope this partnership between our two companies is a success," he replied.
"Likewise." I walked him to the door of the office and then returned to my desk.
A large pile of paperwork was on the desk waiting for me to attend to. My workload was always crazy. I would handle that later, like on Monday." It was a Saturday after all.
My phone rang and I pulled it out. ’Mum.’ was written on the label.
"How are you darling, I hope you’re not busy right now?" my mother said.
"No, I just finished a meeting," I explained.
"Is the workload isn’t too much for you. you can call me if you need any help," she offered.
"I’m fine mum, thanks," I politely told her. Since I took over the company over a year ago from her, she went into retirement. She always asked me this but I was fine. Besides, she’d worked hard enough.
"Are you coming for the race this afternoon?" I asked her.
"Of course darling," she replied. "Emma’s excited to see you and Marco after all."
"I’m excited to see her too," I laughed.
"I’ll see you down at the team section," I asked.
"Yes, see you soon sweetie," she replied.
I ended the call and finished my work for the day. I finished at around noon and left the office. My car was waiting for me down by the entrance. I made my way to the F1 race stadium.
The company was now one of the official sponsors of the race.
Upon entering the stadium I went towards the the racing team prep areas. I went to the section for the team the Acland Group sponsored.
The pit grew was preparing the car. The driver had yet to arrive. With the race set start in half an hour he must be talking to the coach in the changing rooms.
I found my mother and Louis technically now my father already there. In my mother was a little girl who was beaming at the sight of me.
"Tony!" the little girl yelled and ran towards me.
"Emma!" I said excitedly and picked up my little sister and spun her around. She was already nine years old. She had green eyes like my mother and I but had Louis’s dark hair and tan skin.
"I missed you so much, you’re coming for my birthday party next week right
"Of course, I wouldn’t miss it for the world," I said as I put her down. "How old are you turning?" I asked.
"9!" she answered gleefully.
My smile widened. "Wow! Such a big girl already."
"Hehe! I hope Marco agrees to my birthday party too," she said.
"I’m sure he will."
