Chapter 1:
EPOV:
As I heard the chime of my phone notifying me of a new message, I looked up from the various files spread on my desk & noticed that it was late in the evening & probably well past the dinner time. I looked at the time & realised that it was actually well past midnight. It was not a new occurrence with me where I lost the track of time while working, but this is what gave me the satisfaction & the dull throbbing of my head made me yearn for a strong cup of coffee. I was about the call for Andrea my assistant when I realised i had already sent her off. Sighing I got up and started winding up my files to leave for the day.
The security greeted me as I exited into the car park towards my priced possession, my car Audi Q3. As i started my car I checked my cell and realised that I had several missed call & messages! All from my loving but undeniably irritation sister Alice! I frowned looking at the messages which were becoming more & more upsetting as I suddenly remembered that I had agreed for a family dinner today at my parent's home.
Groaning I hurriedly replied back to Alice telling her that I was sorry & would make it up. It was really not my mistake that I got held up with the conference call first and then going over the details of the upcoming deal. Sighing I drove towards my condo. I was really tired & just wanted to have a good night's sleep. I would deal the aftermath of missing the dinner tomorrow morning!
Groaning I turned to my side and slammed the alarm shut! The bright light was showing that it was already 6 in the morning! Not enough sleep, but will have to do as I can't do with my morning jog. Refreshing myself i changed into my jogging gear and left for my routine jog of 45 mins which gave me time to strategise my goals, think about mundane things and overall have some peaceful time to myself. Today on my mind I had lots of things. To start with I had some pacifying to do for missing dinner last night. I know that my family misses me, but they have come to terms that I would not have reached such a height if I had lazed around. All understand except Alice! Thinking of the her, my phone started ringing & as i saw the caller id, i sighed. Time for some apology!
"Hey Al! How are you this morning! Nice weather!"
"To hell with your pleasantries, Edward! Where were you last night? You were supposed to be at our childhood home for dinner. We all waited for you and you didn't even answer your phone! You had agreed to meet & you know how important the dinner was for me! Why do you keep doing this Edward? Don't you love us the way we do!"
"Alice, please, don't be so over dramatic. I know i had promised to be there, but then work happened. You know its not easy to get away from work like that. And you also know how much important my work is to me! If not then I would not have been able to reach where I am today. You wouldn't be so proud of boosting about your brother being the youngest CEO of a multimillion dollar empire, all self made!"
"Don't you think I know all that? But it would be nice for you to meet us once in a while! Its been so long since you have met me Edward! I am your sister Edward & I miss you. I miss us!"
And now from being angry Alice had become all emotional on me. She knew I couldn't handle her being upset & sounding so sad & I told her the same & even asked if she wanted to do dinner tonight!
This perked her up because next moment she was back to herself & confirming that I will be meeting my family again for dinner today evening at our favourite restaurant. I sighed but made sure that I added it to my schedule so I don't forget!
Returning from the jog, I felt exhausted just thinking of going to the family dinner. I loved my family, but they could sometimes become too much to handle! Hopefully today's dinner would be uneventful!
