Arranged Marriage
1•
I groaned as I heard my phone going off. I quickly grabbed it and saw it was my dad ringing me. I ignored his calls as usual it's bad enough dealing with this hangover I don't need his shit on top of it. I walked to the bathroom to freshen myself up I looked down at my phone to see a text from my dad.
Dad- Be at stride's enterprise at 12 and don't be late.
I picked a simple outfit and made sure I took my time to get ready. I looked at the time to see it was 12.01 and smiled to myself. I grabbed my keys and headed to my car. Making my way to the company. I've know Mr stride for some time now as he and my father are like best friends. So I pulled up outside not bothering to look where I parked and started making my way inside.
'Hello miss Olsen your father is on the top floor waiting for you, you can go straight up ma'am'. The receptionist spoke. His name is Gavin I should know I took him home one night and gave him the best night of his life. I winked at him before waking into the lift pressing the button to the top floor. As I walked out towards Mr strides office I could hear yelling.
As I walked in I saw my father, Mr stride and some other woman who looked angry. She was wearing a black suit with the top buttons undone with a few rings and tattoos covering her body. I coughed lightly to make my presence known. And the woman who I don't know the name of yet just rolled her eyes and sat down in a chair folding her arms like a child. Rude much.
My dad came and gave me a kiss on the cheek and told me to sit down. I sat down opposite the younger woman taking in her features. She had the most beautiful blue eyes, a sharp jawline, and hair I just want to run my hands through as I can already feel how soft it's gonna be.
'Right so I've called you here today Elizabeth as we have a proposal for you both' my dad spoke up. 'You're out partying every weekend , I see you with a different boy each week, I will not stand for it anymore. Me and Mr stride have come up with an arrangement you and Dylan here will get married.
I was drinking some water and after I heard married I spat it all over the table and onto the woman who I now know is Dylan. She gave me the dirtiest look whilst she grabbed a tissue and wiped the water off her face. Oops.
'We can't get married dad, we don't even know each other, seriously why are you doing this? My life has never affected you before so why now?' I tried pleading with him. 'It isn't just about you, we want to combine our company's, If I'm honest my company isn't going so well, so Mr Stride suggested we combine. And Dylan here can help get us back on track'.
I saw Dylan roll her eyes at that comment. 'Is there a problem?' I asked her. She completely ignored me. What an arrogant asshole. I just huffed crossing my arms and sitting back in my chair.
