"Wait what?!" I ask my father standing up and almost slamming my hands on his desk, he raises an eyebrow at me with his large hands folded in front of his lips, I sigh and sit back down,
"I'm starting a new branch in Japan and I want you to be the manager, the job is full time, five days a week and most of the work can be done from the house, you will have to move there and make an occasional appearance but nothing too formal." he says leaning back, "Honestly, I thought you'd be happy." he says opening his eyes as if questioning me, "Unless you have other plans or dreams?" he asks, I sigh again and shake my head, "Good, here is all the information you'll need, you'll be moving into the vacation home we have there and I've already turned the home into your name if you want to change anything. It's fully staffed and with your paycheck you can keep it that way since the staff lives at the house anyway. And the private Jet is waiting for whenever you're ready" he explains staring into my blue eyes, I stare right back into his dark brown eyes.
It's widely known I look almost exactly like my mother but my personality fits my father to everyone's dismay. However unlike my father, I don't have his experience or power so I usually end up in fights where as my father makes them regret the day they met him, if he dislikes them. I nod at my father taking the envelope then look above him, I can see his aura dancing around in happiness that I accepted then smile at him,
"You'll have a few other managers that will take care of most of the work, you'll just make the big decisions, take to customs from time to time, in other words trying to make people like you." he says in a warning tone on the last part, my smile turns into a sarcastic one,
"Oh but daddy I'm so enjoyable to be around and I make oh so many friends!" I say clashing the tan folder on my chest, then laughing a bit, "You know I'll try." I add giving him a real smile, the edges of his lips turn up revealing his pearly white teeth against tanned skin, we hug tightly then as I turn I can hear him trying to ruffle a chuckle as I do my own.
My father's house is above the company he owns, that way he's never too far from work. In truth once it gets going not much needs to be done, besides a few crisis's that happen every few weeks and since we make enough we can pay someone to be manager and not have to really come in, but dad prefers we do ever once in a white to see what's happening that way managers don't get any ideas, long story.
As I make my way down the long hall ways I realize the walls and ceiling is grey and the floor is black making it look like some kind of haunted office. The one thing I am grateful for is that I'm not closterfobic because all the rooms and hall ways are small and cramped just like this city.
"Lady Katherine?" my maid asks opening my bedroom door for me, it's not my real bedroom but when I come visit my father it is, I smile and nod at her, "I've packed most of your stuff." she states following me in, there are three suitcases on my bed all dark blue. They must have brought my stuff over, explaining why Rina is here and not at my apartment. "Your father says you can buy anything else you need when you get there." she adds I turn to her,
"Thanks Rina, will you be coming with me?" I ask clasping my hands behind my back, Rina has black hair that is shoulder length, it's soft like silk with dark brown eyes that are always filled with warmth, she has pale skin due to always being in side. she shakes her head no and I lower my head,
"But I got something for you." she says, at this I meet her eyes to see a small box, I look at her in confusion, "Please." she states handing it to me, I smile while opening it then gasp and feel tears in my eyes, inside the box is a silver locket with a single ruby on the top left side, the locket is oval shaped the exact necklace my mother always wore on the inside is a picture of my mother and I with father on one side and mother on the other,
"Thank you." I say my voice cracking, she hugs me tightly I note how strong her arms are, probably from doing so much housework,
"I hope you don't mind, I borrowed one of your pictures to make a replica." she says, taking a deep breath I turn around, without a word she puts it on, "just don't let your father see it, he may not like it as much." she says putting a hand over her perfectly shaped lips, I giggle and nod doing the same, "By the way, happy birthday." she says we hug once more then I look down at my watch,
"Thanks, I've already said bye to my father so I want to go ahead and leave." I say picking my bags up, she takes them from me,
"Are you sure you don't have anyone else?" she asks, I smile,
"Besides you and father, no, not really. Why?" I ask, she smiles shaking her head,
"Just checking." she says as I take on of the bigger bags while she has two. Heading down I call over a taxi to take me to the airport where the jet is waiting, once we have the bags inside I hug Rina tightly, she waves as the driver heads down the street.
I take a deep breath while running my hand over my new locket, just then a clump of my bright blonde hair falls in front of my eyes, moving it behind my ear I notice how soft my hair really is. I don't really mess with it often since Rina does my hair everyday. I have tanned skin since I'm outside running most of the time, I'm not very muscular but I do have a fit body.
The next few hours are a blur as I get on the jet and stare blankly at a wall pretending to watch a movie they put in for me. None of them speak to me, too scared since the news reports about my "gangster life" in high school is still going around, I huff as I see a report and a video of me punching a few guys in the face, truth is they were groping a girl in my class, I tried to tell the teach but no "I didn't see it therefore there is nothing I can do against it" the teacher said, well guess what, I saw it along with the scared look on the girl's face no next time, I took care of it. Does media care about that? No, only the part where I put three guys in the nurse's office with bloody nose, black eyes and bruises. I just hope Japan doesn't have these reports there, then maybe people will actually talk to me outside of my father's employees.
"Madam?" a waiter asks, I meet his head then try to see his eyes but his head is lowered, I can hear the fear in his voice, "We're about to land." he says, I nod thanking him as he walks away then buckle my seat belt. After we land the waiters put my stuff into a black limo, I raise an eyebrow at the driver and limo he chuckles,
"It's only for today Miss. Your father knows you like to drive yourself." he says opening my door, "I'm Ron by the way." he says offering his hand, I smile shaking it,
"Katherine, nice to meet you, and thank you." I say bowing, he smiles widely nodding and replaying my greeting, thank goodness for difference continents that have different news casts. I say to myself once my door is closed, I watch the scenery go past, my heart starts skipping a beats as I see that this city is very green I notice that a lot of people have good auras, some have darker but not too many. A flash is seen out of the corner of my right eyes but when I try to look nothing is there. I sigh then sit back in my seat, I always try and block out the spiritual world because it sometimes becomes hard to tell the difference then people think I'm crazy for talking to air.
Once we get to my new house I try not to gasp, father and I haven't been here for years so I barely remember it. But it's a total of ten acres on the edge for town it has a stone wall with grape and rose vines around the wall making it impossible to see over, for ten feet. Everything is covered with green there are two big oak trees beside the driveway when you come in providing more privacy than bushes that cover to the top of the car and over in an archive for shade. Behind the bushes are flowers and a much of Moss and rock gardens, along with a few pounds with fish.
The mansion is not for parties or visitors, just us relaxing. Meaning the bottom floor has a dining room with seats for ten people it's a wooden polished table with a red runner across and white roses as the centerpiece, a huge crystal can dali error hangs on the ceiling the floor is made of marble for the dining room the walls are painted white and look Greek with pillars a large kitchen is to the left all white and stainless steel, we have a Y shaped staircase going up to the second floor with a red carpet and wooden railing but behind the stairs case and to the majority of the first level is a complete gymnasium, gym pool and hot tub with a waterfall into the hot tub. Also a few bathrooms between the gym and dining room.
The second floor has a video game room, bathroom and overlooks the main floor since some of the gymnasium cuts into the second floor it's more like an extension of the first floor. Following the staircase you come into the the third floor which is a whole floor with four master bedrooms with master bathrooms attached and your own laundry room in the center is a sitting area with a small bookcase mini fridge and microwave it can seat eight people. The carpet is still red but the walls are now a very slight golden, mostly because of the lights, the seats are painted gold with red cushions all facing a coffee table with plates, bowls and coffee cups bellow the table in a cabinet. All the rooms are the same size with almost the same setup but completely different designs some rooms make you feel like you step into another world. There is another level above this one that is the same setup, I might look into an elevator as my first upgrade. There is a building to the left size of the house that is just bedrooms and bathrooms where the maids, butlers and a few gardner's life if they so choose. To the right side of the house is a three layered greenhouse and aviary. Behind is any party animals dream with a pool, hut tub, a few grills, fire pit, canopy, two seated tree swing and some seats all around the fire pit.
A maid greets me at the second floor bowing, I can see annoyance in her Aura but her face shows nothing but a present smile. This is another reason negative people don't get along with me too well at first, none of their masks and smiles can hide their true feelings.
"Hello Miss. Katherine, I am Angelique, if you ever need anything let me know." she says tilting her head to the side and closing her eyes, however her Aura is saying (I have had to bush my button looking after this place and now I have to look after a snot nose spoiled Brat! It's a good thing I'm being paid so much) it's red with fury with a clenched fist in the air glaring at me,
"Thank you, may I call you Angie? Also please just Katherine or Kat will be ok." I say trying to be nice. I pay her to be nice to my face not inside and out. She looks surprised and her Aura shuts up making me almost smirk but I hold it in,
"Um yes of course. Would you like your old room?" she asks, opening her eyes and taking a few steps back while turning then continuing up the stairs,
"Yes please." I reply that's when I notice she has mid back hair pulled into a high ponytail and forest green eyes however she has tanned skin and very firm muscles I could see them half way up the stairs case. She leads me to the first room on the left side of the third floor and I gape at the inside to the left is a small sitting area for four people with wooden chairs and small pillows with a wooden coffee table. To the right is a small kitchenette agent the back wall is a small library with a door to what I assume is my closest on the middle of the back wall is a queen sized bed with thick curtains that can close completely with wooden night stands. The left side of the room and to the black is a desk with a computer then another door to the bathroom.
I hear Angie chuckle behind me as I gape, I put my bag on my bed that is a light blue color as is the entire room, light blue and silver, then floor reminding me of a sandy beach. The walls are silver with a blue tint any pillows are light blue with silver designs. I walk into my closet to find four hanging areas into the wall with drawers between and double doors leading to a balcony that has a two seated area and overlooks the backyard. It has blue curtains that decorate the walls not in use for clothing or shoes. Dark wood walls with tan floors and lights on the floor that are with a slight blue color. I walk into the bathroom and almost melt, there is a closet toilet, which I love and a two sink area, a huge garden bath that I can actually fit in then a separate shower that has a computer hooked on with jets, timers and a bunch of settings.
"is this real?" I ask looking at Angie, she nods, that bathroom is all white with dark wood save for the shower with is glass and tan tile the door beside the sinks leads back to my bedroom and I take a deep breath, "Ok, so what's the catch?" I start mumbling sceptical,
"Nothing your father had this built for his and your mother's honeymoon the as an anniversary getaway." Angie says, I sigh the plot down on the bed,
"Well that explains why he gave it to me, no need for it anymore." I reply, mostly to myself, Angie leaves letting me settle in I guess but I can shake the feeling of being watched, the sa,etc flash goes by my eyesight but still nothing there. I rub my eyes as I begin putting my stuff away that the butlers brought up. It didn't take long.
"Wow, so rich girl finally arrives, must be nice having multiple homes." I hear a voice say, sarcasm and venom dripping from his voice, I look around but don't see anyone, "scoff, just look at her, must be hard having to do something for yourself." the voice spits again, I growl and clench my foster,
"Ok you know what, if you don't like me that fine, go ahead and judge but know that you're no better for making snap judgments and I do a lot on my own thank you. At least have the decency to insult me where I can't hear you or at least come out where I can smack that swear off your face!" I yell out suddenly a face comes two inches from mine glaring,
"What? Did you hear me?" he asks his face fading in and out. I jump back against the wall trying not to scream since everyone would think I am nuts already. So I just nod then wonder why I'm replying, "yes!" he yells jumping or we'll, flouting up and down, "Do you know how long it's been since I have had an actually conversation?" he asks coming closer, I try to push him away but my hand fazes through, slowly I look at him again, he takes the hit and backs up then sits in the air cross legged. He has long black hair that is gathered into a high ponytail with striking sky blue eyes, his skin is very tan. He has on a grey head band with sweatband on his wrists, a black t-shirt slightly loose on him. I barely notice his blue jeans and black tennis shoes due to him fading in and out again.
