Bounded by fate

Felicia, there's something I and your father want to talk to you about, Mrs Kings said. Felicia sat upright her interest piqued, they had all just finished watching a movie, of course Amanda was hardly concentrating, she was typing away on her phone. Okay mum, what is it about, licia asked.

Now stop looking so scared, we're not about to ask you to get married, mr Kings teased.

Licia humorously heaved a sigh of relief and they all burst out laughing.

Over to you darling, Mr. Kings said to his wife.

Mrs. Kings rested on her husband's shoulder a smile still evident on her face. Amanda grinned, it always amazed her how this old couples still acted lovey dovey to each other.

Muuuuum.., Licia drawled. It was obvious her mum was purposefully keeping her in suspense. Mrs kings chuckled. 'As you know, I and your dad are supposed to close a deal in paris on monday but then we've decided to take a break and spend the entire week there. We'll be leaving you in charge of the company while we're gone, most especially, the contract with Jeffs enterprise. I trust you can handle that, her mum gazed at her.

Felicia was stunned, drawn to tears she choked in her sob ' oh mum, after all I did how can you still trust me'

Sweetheart, her dad drew closer and gave her a big warm hug. ‘you’ve proven yourself to be more than worthy'She never expected a day like this would come and even if it did, not this soon. What did she ever do to deserve such loving parents. She had wrecked them completely and purposefully the last time they left her in charge and trust is something once lost could hardly be replaced so why are they giving it to her on a platter of gold. Well she is going to earn it this time."

Not you trying to steal my husband's attention from me, right under my nose is it", her mother teased.

"No ma", Licia was quick to release the supposed husband from the hug, and they chuckled, her mum sure knew how to lighten the mood.

'Mum, Dad, I promise you I won't ever let you down again', she said happiness filling her inside, her parents were letting her work in her field and this time she'll make them proud.' I promise to give my best to make sure the deal with Jeff's enterprise is a success'

"Jeffs enterprise", Amanda who had been acting oblivious to the trio interrupted.Jeffery Goodwill is the CEO, right? She looked to her aunt for affirmation.

Omg! I'm so happy for you Licia, Amanda said cheerily.' You'll be working with one of the most handsome bachelor's in the country', she whispered. Too bad, Mrs Kings heard.

' You interrupted a serious conversation to say that', her brows quirked up.

No, you probably heard wrong ma, Amanda grabbed her phone and scurried up the stairs.

What will I do with this girl, she gasped.She got the fierce spirit from you, what are you saying, mr Kings chuckled.
