From strangers to lovers

Shocked will be an understatement because I was shocked and annoyed when my parents came up with this agreement with Steel family. Why can they do such a thing when we are just as powerful as the Steel family. What should I do because I will never marry that man? Should I refuse my parent or run away or confront him? My parents are using me as a tool to expand globally. I suppressed my annoyance down my throat, and made my way into the Steel's magnificent huge office building. I made my way to the receptionist and meet Joy.

Joy is a young and beautiful woman properly in her early twenties and asked of James is in the office. This was not my first time coming here as we are partners with the Steel families for many years back. Made my way to the elevator after Joy said he is in this office, rode the elevator to the last floor where James alone has his office, his personal assistance and secretary office. The floor is giving the classy and rich interior with artwork along the corridor. Knock on the doble door when a deep rich voice sounded "come in", James Steel sat in front of a huge desk, sitting on top of the world of other corporate office. His office boasts of modern architecture and floor to ceiling glass window, dressed in a perfect tailored suit. His tall, well-built and cold aura makes the office colder with just a glance. His piercing eyes looked up and surprised flashed in his eye before he conceals it with neutral glance. We need to talk was the first thing that came out of my month after shifting those thoughts behind my mind. He smirks and his eyes turn a darker shade dangerously. What does the princess of the Bennett want to say when she can just do that with her parent because she has her family wrapped up in her little fingers? If look can kill, James will be 6 ft under. With the look I gave him. But I managed to alter the word again with a tight forced mouth. James Steel, I will never agree to this marriage because I hate your gut and will never have anything to do with you. If you know what is best for you then cancel this marriage and pick one of your numerous celebrity's girlfriends and leave me the f**k alone. Is that jealous I smell there Isabella, James asked. Because we both now this is a marriage of convenience and to build a strongly brand globally. No feelings attached because I also hate your gut and you're a spoil brat. To burst your bubble, Isabella, I have a girlfriend so I can never have any feeling for you. Be rest assured. If that is all, you can leave my office I have much work to do and have an international conference coming up. James rise his eyebrow and gave me one of his cold smirks. I left his office with so much anger but it automatically dissolved when I came in contact with me best friend in a coffee cafe. Amelia Westwood has been my best friend right from childhood and the Westwood is among the family that hold significant power in A City but not like Steel and Bennett family. Amelia is the definition of beauty with brain. The Westwood are the strongest and powerful family that deal with medicine and hospitals in A city and Amelia is a radiologist. Radiologist are medical doctor that who specialize in X rays and CT scans. Why are you at a coffee café during work hour instead of the Bennett corporation asked Amelia. I signed and told Amelia I was angry and need a sweet cup of coffee to calm me down. But why are you being angry in the first place Isabella, is there something you are not telling your best friend. Would you believe me when I say both the Bennett and Steel corporation want to merge and are using marriage to do so. I give my head a rob for incoming headache. Amelia was speechless and was surprised as well because this is a modern world and marriage should not be forced and not to talk of two gigantic corporation where they can merge without using marriage as deal. So, Isabella how do you take it and what does James say. Pls don't mention that name Amelia because the man arrogant can lift off a roof, Isabella told Amelia because what James said flashed in front of her eyes and she breathe deeply. Do you mean James agree to the marriage but I though you guys hate each other guts and it run so deep so why did he agreed but I think he has a hidden agenda or what do you think Isabella? I honestly don't know what to do Amelia, can't believe my parent could do such. Isabella said while covering her face with her hands. Amelia stool up and went to Isabella side, hug her and console her. Alright enough with James and marriage. How are your parents, I have missed her foods and her hugs, said Isabella? Oh, she really talks about you and she missed you as well. She though you are busy with the new project and don't want to disturb you. That's so sweet of her and my regards to her. Amelia and Isabella chats for a while talking about girls and non-significant stuffs. They both departed after Amelia received a call at the hospital and Isabella went back to Bennett corporation to complete the day activities. I walked toward my car, a Mercedes-Benz GLE 450, I so much love this baby, sleek and beautiful and drive off to Bennett building. Arrived at the underground parking lot, parked then make my way to the elevator. The moment I entered my office, I picked up the intercom and called my secretary, ask about the pending work to be bought to my office and documents that needs my signature. I buried myself into the paperwork on my desk and put all those scenarios behind me. I love my work and the feeling of being a boss lady is what I love most, when she looked up, she gets to see time has gone. She parked her stuffs and leave the company.
