And so, I did the thing that my dad wished for me. Running the company that my dad owned Marshal Co.
With that bitter thought of my parents in my mind, I entered my company. Everyone greeted me some gave me their condolences, but I felt strange behind their sympathetic smiles I could see something that they are trying to hide from me. I thought I could ignore it until I entered supposed to be my office that used to be dad’s but now someone else is sitting.
“Who are you?” I asked him.
“Isn’t that the question I am supposed to ask you? Who are you to barge into my office like that?” he asked me with annoyance clear in his voice.
“Mr. Carson...” comes Angel into the room, panting.
“Angel who is thi- Forget it just get him out of my office.” I command to my supposed to be assistant.
“Miss. Marshal, this is Mr. Carson, the current CEO of this company,” says Angel, making me angrier. “Miss, this is Madam Carol’s order.” adds Angel
“Who is she to- “
“Oh, dear niece of mine, don’t tell me you forgot about me.” interrupts Aunt carol entering the office.
“People can’t laugh and spit on other people for long there will be a time when I get the chance to return all the favours you have given me and that time I won’t even show the mercy that you don’t deserve no matter how much good actor who have been in the past to be the sweet Aunt that I used to fight with my parents to stay longer with.” I glare back at her.
“Oh, darling, don’t remind me how bratty you were, always clinging on to me asking for sweets. Now get out before I call the security.” Says Aunt.
“Carol, don’t forget what you have said to me now because I won’t.” And with that I left the company walking out with my head held high and ignoring all the sympathetic comments and sad eyes, though I couldn’t miss that “She will come back with even bigger strength.” comment from Aunt jenny, who cared me just like my mom and that’s the reason why she was friends with my mom. She gave me an encouraging smile different from other’s sad smiles, and I returned her a smirk that said I-WILL-COME-BACK.
