-----------------------
Today I have completed my first year in this position very impressively. Yes, it's a freaking year and now I'm here with very good reputation in business world supportive team and brilliant workers.
It was not all good as it looks I made few mistakes too, but nothing too much of serious ones. Except one, it happened around four months back it wasn't even that big just dad made a big deal out of it.
I send legal papers to Susan Marie Joseph to sue her. She was past employee, but she didn't submit a resignation, and left all of the sudden without any way to contact her, only our manager Adrian Johnson knows about her parental home address because he is from the same hometown as her.
Out of my luck, she appears to be Uncle Joseph's only daughter. I was shocked at first that it can't be true, but when dad and uncle himself contacted me about her and legal document which I send her. It was embarrassing.
It was so stupid of her to work here. Leave that I immediately contact my lawyer and told him to take allegations back. I apologize to uncle, but he said it was alright, saying it was her fault and she'll send resignation ASAP.
So today I'm going to Joseph's with mum and dad. I'm in a limo right now with mom and dad they are talking about how long it was since, they last met Susan. Also, how much she grew up and changed and all that shit blah blah blah... I know what they're trying to do.
Matchmaking, but I'm too hot too falling for an arrange marriage crap. I'll rather get married to my Vegas beauty.
Susan is always in the news, now a day gossiping about her so called love life and living like a simple ordinary girl. Right now, she finally took her responsibility and giving uncle relax from the work load. She definitely sounds like a handful girl to handle.

But what's amazing is that never in once there is a picture of her printed I don't know how they manage it. She obviously has an awesome PR team that's given. Whenever her pictures are clicked by paparazzi always her bodyguard cover her face with his palm from cameras, if not that she would be wearing a hat.
So, currently I'm texting to Jason we are being normal self talk about girls and stuff. He's working with his dad in law firm. Yes, he came from the famous lawyer's family. Like really great and best ones.
Soon our car stops in front of breath taking beautiful villa with beautiful garden in front with a fountain in between. Ronald our driver opened the gate for us. I visited Uncle Joseph few times, but it was on his holiday cabin in Munich. I always knew he was filthy rich not more than dad, of course, but I doubt it now. Just one look at this property and you'll feel awe struck.
His empire is increasing incredibly fast with creditable reputation in the market and everyone wants to connect to their company name only way to do that is though their daughter. But I'm not at desperate enough to marry her for the sake of it, I want my own reputation, my own pride.
I'm in a blackish grey Armani suit. With a slim neatly tied tie. Soon Mr and Mrs Joseph came to the front door to welcome us. Dad and uncle did their bro hug. They're like what best friends forever.
"Oh my god look at this handsome boy, you grow up so much in these years Xavier, how are you?" Mrs Joseph gushed aloud I gave her my best smile. She was just like the last time meet her a ball of excitement she's slim, but yet not that slim.
"I'm good, Marie Aunty, how are you? You look younger than last we met" I complimented her.
"He's a cutie Eleanor, " she said to mum. My mom just smiles at me.
"Of course he is, after all he is my son, " Mom replied proudly.
"Forgive my manners, let's go inside I should go and bring Susan she might be around the garden or the poolside, I'm not sure anymore. " She said while giving us a space to come inside.
This villa is more lavish from inside the warm interior there is diamond chandelier in the centre of the living room there is a wide staircase leading to the bedrooms I suppose. There are portraits of their family gracefully hung on walls.

Actually Susan is a first female heiress in their family history. So it's natural why she got so much attention. Also serves good reason why she was guarded all day. Poor girl tsk tsk...
"Kiara go and find Susan and tell her to come here to attend our guests" I hear Mrs Joseph to command some lady of around mid twenty's.
"So Xavier tell me how's the business world treating you. I hear you are doing well more than your dad would have ever in his time, " Mr Joseph was trying to get me into the conversation.
"Seriously, uncle it's nothing like that I learned a lot from dad only and a part about business world treating me, it's great I'm having a great time." I answered him truthfully. He nodded in response with the corner of my eye I saw dad smiling at me proudly.
"Oh, I see, how about your dad? He's not a much carefree when it comes to you I thought" he's right dad always keep sharp eye on my actions, but there are few which he doesn't know about, like about my current girlfriend, hiring a detective to find Rose and some more.
"I know right, he's really not carefree, but he's giving me space now, which I'm really thankful for. " I told him actually it's half lie dad pretend he's not interfering, but he always does and sometimes I'm glad he does.
"So Richard I heard that Susan is getting trained to take a position as C.E.O in Joseph's. " Dad asks with curiosity dominating his voice.
"Yeah, I think it's time for her to handle her responsibilities and free me from the work. Now, I can actually go on holidays with my beautiful wife peacefully. " Uncle explained, smiling brightly.
"I wish Richard I can have a daughter like Susan because here this son of mine love troubles he can't stay away from them for long enough. So, I can never leave his back. " Dad sighs, seriously, he is so rude, I didn't make any trouble from the past two months, except some tabloid news about my hook up which didn't even exist.
Then they both started laughing.
"Now, now lets have tea in the garden, Richard please bring Xavier and Travis with you I'm going with Eleanor. " Mrs Joseph calls out her husband.
"Okay, come-on lets go. " We went outside through a broad wooden door which lead us to the huge garden with gracefully manicured grass, tall trees surrounding the whole garden like a border around it and at the centre there is a plantation of roses in a circular shape.
"C'mon son, there's a table at that corner" uncle says to me as he's walking in front of me then, he turned around. I nodded in response.
When we were all settled down, then two servers came out to serve tea and snacks to everyone present over here. Mom and aunty are talking about some fashion event. Dad and uncle are back to topic Susan the trouble maker.
She sounds so much fun through. Once she practically cursed in a board meeting in front of all because she is irritated with her Assistant creating noise with her heels.
Soon, I hear someone laughing its girl's voice low yet clear I turn my head I saw I brunette with long hairs which are reaching till her lower back tied with a bow she was wearing a light peach colour tunic of length just above her knees. Her back is in front of me. She started to turn and
"Here she comes, where were you Suzi?" Uncle asked a girl, oh so she's Susan. As soon as we both saw each other's faces first thing came out of my mouth was.
" Both Susan and I yell at same time.
I was utterly shocked yet happy its her Rose finally I found her. She's the girl which occupied my mind for last 6 months. Wait a second that means...Omg holy f**king $hit she's Susan Marie Joseph no way in the hell!
When her eyes met mine she look like she saw ghost which leads me to smirk at her, good she remembers me then. God, she was so uncomfortable and nervous her body language says it all clearly. Also, her cheeks turning red as I keep looking at her. It is going to be very entertaining get together. Trust me...
