Chapter #6
The Next Morning…
Adonia and Adom both waited for their bus to come, with their oranges in hands, bags on their backs (lunch bags was strapped to their book bags), and neck ties tightened around their necks to make their school uniform more classy.
Adonia's hair was put up in a perfect bun with her bangs hanging down the side of her head by her favorite maid, Avery. Avery only brushed Adom's short hair perfectly down.
The bus came rolling down the road and stopped at their stop, letting the kids board.
Both children sat in the same seat they had sat in the day before. Sal, the bus's bully, wasn't present on the bus that morning, so there was no issue with anyone.
When the bus arrived, Adonia walked Adom to his class then walked herself to the office where a teacher walked her to the ISS (In School Suspension) room. There were only twenty seats in the room and twelve seats were already taken by a few kids. Sal was not one of them. His parents must've kept him home so he wouldn't have to serve suspension.
Adonia sat in the seat closest to the door. A office woman came to Adonia and give her the work she was going to miss in class.
Adom watched as his teacher, Mr. Neako, hand out papers and explained what they were for.
"Tomorrow is 'Take Your Kid To Work Day'. The day after that, Wednesday, January 14, 2015, it is 'Take Your Parent To School Day' . Now, take these home to your parents or guardians to get it signed. If you do not return it tomorrow signed, you will stay in school with me to do work."
Adom raised his hand.
"Yes, Adom?" Mr. Neako asked, handing out the last pieces of paper.
"I want to go, but my dad will say no. I don't want to do work at school." Adom stated, putting his piece of paper in his 'Take Home' folder.
"Well, Adom, does your father know anyone he trust that can take you to work?" Mr. Neako asked, sitting down at his desk.
"Well, there is one guy, but my sister doesn't trust him." Adom said.
"Well Adom, you must figure that situation out on your own, my pupil." He went to the overhead projector and turned it on. "Snack time, everyone!" He showed a movie on the projector screen. "Today, we'll be watching Destination Wild from Nat Geo Wild about eagles!"
Everyone cheered but Adom.
He frowned pulling out his snack which was a baggie of Honey Maid's Mini S'mores (I don't own anything from Honey Maid).
"I hate eagles..." he mumbled, eating his snack.
Adonia and Adom got off the school bus and walked to the gates.
Adonia pressed in the password, hearing the, "Password Confirmed" from the computer and they both entered the open gate doors.
Both Adonia and Adom saw their father's car parked in the large, stone circular driveway. He came home early for some reason, and it didn't make Adonia really happy. She still felt bad of the events from the day before.
Adonia typed in the password for the front door to open it and quickly went up to her room to go change and do homework.
On the other hand, Adom went to go find his hotheaded father.
He started his search by looking in his father's personal office, he wasn't there. Then, Adom looked in his father's huge, royal looking bed chambers only to find him not there.
"Hmmm..." Adom dropped his book bag on the super soft red carpet from his back. Adom then climbed on his father's huge, red bed and laid in all of the many pillows, on his backside, with a finger on his chin. "If I were the 'Great Atem Novellvs' where would I be at? Hmm..."
Then, Adom had a brilliant thought as to were his father was in this palace like house. "His bar stand!"
Adom jumped off of Atem's bed and ran through the hallways, down the grand stairs, and into the dining room where the dark, polished mahogany stand sat at. No wine or liquor bottles were out on top of it and no glasses were taken out of place when Adom opened it.
Adom checked for fingerprints, but found only his little ones.
Adom sighed. He walked out of the room then decided to head for his father's counseling room.
He peeked through the glass walls only to see his father's personal counselor doing work on her computer.
"Oh well," Adom said as he skipped down the hall towards the house's movie theater, "I'll just ask him during dinner." Adom walked passed a hallway and heard his father's raised voice.
Adom smiled and ran to his voice and walked into the sitting room. There his father was, pacing back and forth, speaking to someone on his smartphone.
Adom quietly sat down in one the classic European white and gold sofas; waiting for his father to get off the phone so he could show his dad the 'Take Your Kid To Work Day' paper.
"I lost the deal... Wait do you mean? The WHOLE building knows that I lost the deal!...When I came back to my office, Mr. Inishel was gone. He left a note saying he wishes to never return to Novellvs I&C ever again...Ah, yes. Please continue to make me feel bad about losing something I've wanted to achieve ever since I made the institution, Seto... Yes, yes. Rub the salt into my bleeding wounds. Oh you're such a good cousin, Seto." Sarcasm stained his voice as he caught sight of Adom, but he only ignored the waiting boy and continued his conversation with his cousin.
"Seto, I do recall you losing a fine deal with Miss Denice Ryan who owned that amazing entertainment business. The rumor was that you turned her down when she tried to get with you." Atem chuckled a bit. "Well I thought she was kind of attractive, aside from her attitude." Atem then laughed at something his cousin had said, "Oh please, cousin. Your attitude can match hers... Who told you that I scared Inishel off!... I did not, I merely had a little angry moment... Oh whatever, Seto... Yeah, you go do that. Have a nice evening." Atem hung up his phone, turned around, and glared, slightly, at Adom.
"What do you want, boy?" he asked, folding his arms.
"I want your autograph!" Adom giggled a bit at his little joke. "Haha, not really. I want your signature and your approval."
Atem rolled his eyes and asked, "For what?"
"For 'Take Your Kid To Work Day'! Dad, wouldn't it be fun to have a father and son time together and get to know each-"
"No and no." Atem cut Adom off and sat down on the couch opposite of Adom's, picked up his white and red laptop, and did some work.
"Oh come on, Dad! It'll be great and it's only for one day, so it won't do much harm to your super big company." Adom tried persuading his father.
"You'll do harm to it." Atem replied bluntly.
"I promise I won't." Adom said in a whiny voice.
"I bet you will." Adom mocked his son's tone.
Adom pouted, "Don't you love me?"
"Oh, with all my heart, Son." Atem sarcastically answered.
"If you love me with all your heart, that means you have no room to love Adonia and that means you'd let me go." Adom tried tricking his father into letting him go.
Atem shook his head, grabbed his computer, and got up, "My dear, Son, it's called sarcasm." he said, walking away to his office where he wouldn't be distracted by his son.
"Please, if you don't let me go, I'll have to stay at school and do work!" Adom got up and followed his father.
"I said no, Adom! Besides, school work is good for ya." Atem yelled, heading up the grand stairs. "Stop following me!"
Adom stopped following his dad, crossed his arms, and watched his dad disappear down a hallway.
"Well, Adom, does your father know anyone he trust that can take you to work?" Mr. Neako's words came back to Adom.
In a flash, Adom ran down the stairs and back into the sitting room. He stopped at the small, gold and white, classic European coffee table where a lamp and the house phone sat on. Adom grabbed the white phone and started to go through its contacts.
"Acon Kyles, Alyssa Murry, Andrew Nimish, Annish Stone, Erra Lipeeyo, and, finally, Joseph Wheeler!" Adom pressed a button with a green little phone on it and the phone started to dial.
"Yello?" the Brooklyn accented voice drifted into Adom's ears.
Adom giggled, "Yello, Fellow."
"Who dis?" Adom could hear how confused Joey was.
"It's Adom, Mr. Joey! How could you forget me?"
"Ah! Mr. Novellvs son! Oh yes, how could I forget?" Joey remembered when he had to teach Adom what a handshake was.
"I got to ask you a question, and it's really important." Adom went on.
"Oh ahead, Kiddo. I got the time."
"Well, tomorrow is take your kid to work day and I asked my daddy- erm, Dad- (Adom corrected himself because the last time he said daddy to Atem, all hell broke out...) could he take me with him. You know, being the world's meanest father, his reply was a no. So I kinda figured he say that and I asked my teacher if it could be someone that's not Atem Novellvs who could take me to their job and he told me maybe a close friend of my dad's. So now here I am about to ask you if you could take me to your job tomorrow. Can you?" Adom smiled although he knew Joey couldn't see a thing.
"Wow, Kiddo, that's quite a question." Adom heard Joey sigh through the phone. "You know, I'm workin' with 'Tem seventy five percent of my work day considering that I am his chief assistant and in order to keep my job, you know, I gotta be on ya father's good side and do everything he says. Bringin' you to his business is disobeyin' him and you proved that statement right a few minutes ago. Besides, in the Novellvs I&C Instruction Book, there is a rule that states, "'Tis a violation if an unauthorized staffer escorts a foreigner into private territory owned by Novellvs Institution or Novellvs Corporation without permission from the current owner of both Novellvs Institution or Novellvs Corporation." meaning before I bring ya into the place, I gotta ask your father and he already said no so what's the point? I'm sorry, Kiddo, but I can't." Joey answered.
Adom didn't give up just yet. "Maybe if YOU ask him, he'll say yes. You are, after all, his CA (Chief Assistant). "
"Kid-" Joey started, but was cut off.
"Pleeease, Mr. Jojo!" Adom begged.
"Fine! Kid, I'll ask him." Joey sounded a tad annoyed and then concluded the conversation. "Now, go do somethin'. I'll be callin' him right now."
"Yay! Thanks, Mr. Joey!" Adom jumped up and down.
"Yeah, whatever." The conversation ended when Joey hung up. Adom happily bounced away, leaving the phone on the couch, heading to the movie theater room.

~8~*~8~~8~*~8~
The next morning, Adom woke up to see Atem sitting on his bed and petting his head with a sweet smile on his face that scared Adom out of his skin.
"Good morning, Son." his voice sounded oddly soft and gentle.
Adom looked around the room for a bat or something to hit Atem with because in his head, his thought his father was going to suddenly start beating on him. Adom slowly pulled his covers up to his nose.
"Uh, good morning, Dad." Adom started to scoot back a bit, trying to get as far away as he could from his crazy father. "I have to take a shower, so if you don't mind, can you-"
Atem nodded, "Yes, yes. You want me to leave, but I've found this-" Atem reached down and picked up Adom's school bag and placed it on his lap, "this school bag in my bedroom and a paper that said, "Take Your Child To Work Day" and I couldn't help but think that, one, who the hell was in my bedroom and, two, should I sign this piece of paper?" Atem spoke calmly, looking at the paper.
Adom's eyes widened when he heard his father figure out he was in his room.
"You know, Son, after a little debate in my head and a phone call from a employee, I've finally made my decision." Atem's eyes met with his son's and the smile came back. "My decision on the piece of paper, of course. I signed it. But here was the thing, someone was still in my room and that crime cannot be pushed aside without a proper punishment." Atem looked down at the green bookbag then back to his son's frightened blue eyes without a smile on his face, "Son, I know it was you who entered my bedroom."
There was a long pause of silence when suddenly Atem smiled again. "Well, get dressed properly, My child, because we are going to work. I have a tux that you can wear to work inside your wardrobe and jump into it quickly because I am not a patient man." Atem spoke the words not, patient, and man with so much fiery that Adom flinched, and the scariest thing about it, Atem still smiled while saying it but his eyes burned with anger.
Atem stood up, making the bag fall off his lap. He stepped over it, walking out to the hallway, yelling for Adonia to wake up.
Adom went to his closet, seeing the new, expensive looking tuxedo hanging up. Adom pulled it out and placed it on his bed. After getting in the shower, brushing his teeth and hair, he jumped into his new tux. A red bowtie, a gold blazer, gold trousers, red dress shoes, and a red dress shirt under the blazer.
"Ugh, I'm stiff." Adom mumbled as he waddled down the grand stairs. When he reached the dining room, he saw Adonia and Atem already there. Dimis stood nearby, holding a white napkin in his hands.
Atem smiled again when he saw Adom come into the room. "My son, you look very spiffy." Atem commented and Adom looked down, blushing.
When Adom jumped into his seat, Dimis tucked the napkin into his shirt. Adom was about to pull it out, but Atem stopped him.
"Now, Son, when eating in a tux or a suit, a gentleman needs to tuck a napkin into his shirt so no disaster will get on it." Atem spoke before sipping some of his red wine.
Adom nodded and started eating his waffles. After breakfast was over, Atem told his kids to get into his car.
The two went to the open garage and opened the front door. Not knowing how to get to the back seat, (there's not backdoor) Adom started to climb on the driver's seat.
"Adom! What are you doing! Dad will kill you if he see's your shoe prints on his seat!" Adonia yelled, trying to wipe the prints off the black, leather seat.
Adom shrugged, "He's been being nice to me all of a sudden, I don't think he'll really care." Adom hopped into the seat. "Just hurry up and get back here, Adonia. He won't notice."
"Notice what?" a unusually nice voice asked.
Adonia turned around to see her father and looked at her shoes while Adom smiled at his father.
Atem's smile faded as he glared at his car. "Something's not right here." He looked everywhere outside of the mustang then stopped at the open car door, looking at Adom. "What did you do?" he asked. Then his eyes slid down to his driver's seat when Adom shrugged. His eyes widened and he pushed away from his car with a hand on his heart and the other hand other his mouth.
"WHY!" His face was horrified and he fell to his knees.
"Oh no.." Adonia trailed off, covering her ears.
"WHHHHHYYYYYYYYY!"
Meanwhile inside the house…
All the servants jumped when they heard the scream of their boss.
Dimis shook his head knowing that one or both of the children did something to Atem's car. Oh how he loves that car. Out of all seven cars Atem had, the mustang was his favorite. If a bird poops on that car, he'd freak out. Dimis could only imagine what those kids did to the car.
Back With Atem, Adonia, and Adom…
A white 2015 Escalade ESV Platinum stopped in front of the private catholic school and the family of three stepped out of it. (Atem switched the mustang with his escalade because he felt like he was going to die if he was around the footprints any longer.)
Adonia went to her class while Atem and Adom went to Adom's class.
When both of the boys entered the kindergarten classroom, Adom dragged Atem to his seat and made him sit next to it. (The classroom was set up to where the kids sat in their seats while the parents had a chair next to the desk and sat there)
After all parents and students was settled in their chairs, Mr. Neako started talking.
"Good morning, parents and guardians. I see that everyone is here so no one will be staying at school to do work. My assistant, Ms. Keenale will be collecting everyone's signed paper's. Tomorrow is 'Take Your Parent To School Day'. That paper should be signed and bringed to school tomorrow. I will be coming around to pass out packets to your children so while she or he is at your job, parents, she or he will be filling out questions." Mr. Neako started handing out the thin packet to everyone. "For example, the first question is what job does your parent work at; your child will fill out the blank line below. Well, that's all I have to say. I hope everyone has a great day!" Mr. Neako opened the classroom's doors as parents and students headed out.
Atem hopped into his truck with Adom following close by.
"Yay, Dad! Ready? Are you excited?" Adom asked in the back seat, bouncing up and down.
"Oh yes, Son. I am very very excited." Atem boredly uttered, pulling away from the school and heading to Novellvs Institutes.
Forty Minutes Later…
Atem's truck pulled into his private parking lot under the huge turning torso building.
"Dad, it's dark down here…" Adom mumbled, getting out of the truck. He was by Atem's side within a second.
Atem smirked a bit, "Yes. Spooky scary monsters live down here. They'd sneak up behind you and take your limbs off slowly, one by one." Atem spoke.
Adom giggled, "Dad! Monsters aren't real!" Adom yelled.
Adom's echoes were heard in the whole parking lot. Atem winched a little when Adom yelled in his ears.
"Hey! My echoes! Daddy- erm Dad- I can hear my echoes!" Adom yelled happily.
"Cool." Atem replied.
Both Adom and Atem headed out the parking lot and into the large torso turning building.
Through the glass doors of Novellvs Institutes, a red and gold classic carpet made the floors, white walls with golden borders that was decorated with beautiful and interesting paintings and certificates, classic red and gold couches sat around a white and gold classic table. A golden chandelier hung above it with ten smaller, circular lights in the ceiling making a circle around it. A classic red, white, and gold desk sat between two golden grand stairs that came up to a glass elevator. Other white and gold sofas sat around the room with golden wall tables (I do not own the picture or the object being shown within the picture. The wall table looks like that, but golden) attached to the walls in other places. The wall tables held vases with red, white, or both colored roses in them.
"Good morning, Mr. Novellvs." A woman with short blonde hair and bright hazel eyes, dressed in a red and gold business outfit greeted as she stood behind the classical desk.
"Morning, Ms. Amber Rose . Adom, say "Good morning" to Ms. Amber Rose." Atem told Adom.
"Good morning, Ms. Amber Rose." Adom greeted with a cute smile.
"Awww!" Amber cooed. "He's so cute! Is he your son, Mr. Novellvs?"
"Sadly," Adom heard his father mumble, "yes." he answered.
"What's your name, young man?" Amber asked.
"Atem Novellvs!" Adom joked and giggled to himself. Atem glared down at him and smacked him upside the head without Amber knowing, and he done it with a smile.
"Ouch!" Adom yelped, holding his head. "My name is Adom Irene."
"Irene? I thought he was your son, Mr. Novellvs." Amber spoke, confused.
"And I thought you'd be smart enough to figure out that he has his mother's last name, Ms. Amber Rose, but I guess not." Atem said with a roll of his eyes. "Come, Adom. Let's get this day done and over with. Have a nice rest of the day, Ms. Amber Rose." Atem concluded and walked up the grand stairs to the elevator with Adom following him.
"You too, Mr. Novellvs and Mr. Irene!" Amber called out after the two.
~8~*~8~
Atem and Adom both got off the elevator and onto the top floor of the building. The top floor was a room with mahogany walls and dark wooden floors. On the left was an electric mahogany fireplace and the right was a wall only of glass that showed the view of Miami City. Two couches sat near the fireplace with a white carpet under it and a marble topped mahogany table in front of them.
A mahogany bookshelf was against the wall right from the fireplace. In the center back wall of the room was a large mahogany desk and a very familiar blonde sat behind it, typing into a white computer. Behind the desk was a hallway on the far right and a hallway on the far left. The left hallway held a ladies and a gentlemen's bathroom while the right hallway held Atem's office.
"Mr. Joey!" Adom yelled, running over to the man.
Joey looked up from his computer and smiled. "Mornin', Mr. Novellvs and Mr. Novellvs. Everyone is in, Sir." Joey informed.
"Good." Atem spoke and headed for his office. "Come on, Adom. Leave Joseph alone." Atem walked into his hallway with Adom following him looking out of the wall-like windows.
"Hey, Dad, what's that?" Adom asked, pointing at a building that was taller than Atem's casting a shadow through the windows when noon came.
Atem took a quick glance at it then deeply frowned, "That building is the first official building of Richard's Corporation. He is a rival. I would've easily been first place if Mr. Inishel took my offer. Now Mr. Inishel is in that building, accepting an officer that is nothing compared to mine. I promised Mr. Inishel more fame, more money, and the honor to work with me, but instead, Mr. Inishel wants to give his whole company up to Richard's because he was promised a pretty stock of stupid lotions that causes rashes. I must add, Mr. Inishel is not the smartest around…" Atem reached his door and punched in his password.
"Password confirm." the computer sounded once Atem pressed enter.
The office door slid open and oth Atem and Adom stepped into it. Adom had though the office would be red, white, and gold with all classic furniture, but he was wrong.
The office was huge. All the walls was glass but the huge black wall that was technically a bookshelf that held hundreds of books, a huge black U-shaped desk faced the windows with two small black sofas sat in front of it. The carpet was white and a projector hung above everything, pointing to a projector screen that hung from the ceiling against the windows. Two black sofas sat against one side of a window, around a black coffee table. The coffee table held a white pitcher of water with two white cups sitting next to it and a white vase that held black and white flowers. His office actually looked modern.
"How do you know his lotions gives rashes, Dadd- erm, Dad?" Adom asked.
"I have a worker, her name's Tea and I told her to try some of Richard's lotion, because they believe everything of theirs is much better than mines, and she started breaking out right in front of me. I've tried it on twenty other people, they all have broken out also." Atem answered, sitting at his desk and turning his white computer on.
Adom jumped on one of the bigger black sofas that sat around the coffee table. "I like your office, Dad." Adom complimented.
"Thanks." Atem mumbled, typing into his computer. "Now do your work."
"Okay." Adom took his packet out of his bookbag and laid on the couch, leaning on his elbows and looking down at the first question.
Where does your parent/guardian work?
Adom looked up at his father who still was typing into his computer. "Daddy- erm, Dad?" Atem red evil eyes looked into Adom's. "Where do you work?" Atem's eyes narrowed a bit then he looked back down at his laptop, continuing to type his work.
Suddenly, Atem picked up a white controller and pointed it towards the projector, pressing down on a button. The projector screen showed a google docs screen.
"Son, give me all of your questions, and I will answer them." Atem spoke while typing in:
Novellvs Institutes and Novellvs Corporation
Adom read five more questions. What does your parent/guardian do? What does your parent's/guardian's job do? How long has your parent/guardian been working at this job? How much does your parent/guardian gets every hour? Where is your parent's/guardian's job located? All of the questions was answered on the projector screen.
2. Produce many different health products, manufacture electronics, build many various kinds/types of buildings, provide education on topics of physical health such as: Eye, hair and skin products. Make deals with other Entrepreneurs or CEOs.
3. Answer is the same exact answer to question number one.
4. Ever since the age 14.
5. $43,748 Per Hr.
6. Miami, FL.
Adom copied the answers down while his father continued his work. After Adom finished the first six questions, he got up and went to his father's desk.
"So, Dad. What we gonna do today?" his cherry smile faded when his father answered.
"Well I am going to work while you are going to answer your questions." Atem answered with no emotion.
"But, Daaaad! It's 'Take Your Kid To Work Day'! We're supposed to have fun!" Adom whined.
"I took you to work and I've already had enough fun for a day, so sit down back on that couch and be quiet until I'm done work." Atem said while continuing to type on his computer.
Adom sat back down on the couch, he needed an adventure…
