___𝗜𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 an ordinary boy finds his obsession in the girl out of his league.
Athena Garrett is a daught...
The girl in white suit shirt and black slacks said to her. A sigh left past her lips. Her shoulders slumped in distress but she managed to pass a polite smile at the servant.
"That's alright. Thank you Clara for telling me." She said quietly and closed the book she was reading. She didn't want to go this business meeting again but she knew she had to. Being a only child in a high class family where the only meaning of being respectable was having all the luxuries with no particular talent.
Her father's words echoed in her mind which he said to her two months ago.
"Sweetheart you know that you are only heir to all of this. This is a time when you have to let go of your foolish hobbies and focus on your future. You are no longer a child. You are Sebastian Garrett's daughter, his only heir. So act like one."
The way he dismissed her passion of becoming a fashion designer, she would never forget. Just thinking about letting go of her passion brought moisture in her eyes. She took a deep breath and dragged herself towards her vanity room.
Her eyes fell on the dress chosen by her mother. A silk slip long dress in dark emerald. These dresses were not her type. Her comfort zone were oversized comfy hoodies. But she knew her life was no longer hers. She was a puppet ready to obey every command of her father.

"You are three minutes late. A very irresponsible behaviour." Her father's calm voice greeted her as soon as she entered the living room. Her hands trembled as she fumbled to form the words.
"A successful businessman never shutter, sweetheart. I expect you to be early next time." He gave her a stern look. She decided to nod only. Her father turned and walked out of the room.
"Dear you have to follow your father. And remember you will not give him any other reason to be mad at you." Her mother's voice met her ears. She nodded again and hurried behind her father.

"What a wonderful surprise Garrett!" Mr. Stone, her father's business friend smiled as they made their way towards him. His gaze fell on the small girl standing behind Sebastian.
"And you must be Athena Garrett If I am correct. Such a beautiful young lady." Her cheeks bloomed at the compliment. She stared at his outstretched hand before taking it.
"It's pleasure to meet you Mr. Stone." She smiled politely. Though she felt extremely uncomfortable from the prying eyes of people she needed to smile for her father's sake.
She didn't know a thing about business. So tonight she felt extremely stupid standing in between of those men and women. But she tried her best to look composed. Her legs hurt from standing. Thankfully her father decided to sit with his some partners.
After listening to the same talks, she decided to go to the restroom. She asked her father hesitantly. She sighed in delight when he nodded. She fixed herself in the mirror and took a time to compose herself again. She left the restroom. Her stomach grumbled reminding her that she ate just two slices of toast in the breakfast. She sighed.
Her gaze fell on the magnificant table of different types of dishes. Her mouth watered. She looked at her father who was busy in the meeting.
One time wouldn't hurt.
She thought and sneaked upto the place where delicious aroma was coming. She smiled politely at the waiters and looked behind once again. Her father was busy.
No Athena. What if father found out?
Her shoulders slumped down at the thought. She couldn't make him angry at her again. She gave one long lasting look to the donuts and decided to go back. She was not allowed to eat sweets or anything that included excess fats.
Once again she found herself sitting between the people she barely knew unaware of the fact that someone was staring at her the whole time. She was unaware of her future which would be control by someone else.
