Business Wife

Chapter 2

'So this is it?' I said to myself.

My family and I is now in five star hotel. Did I mentioned that this hotel is owned by the Ottave family and we will be having a dinner with them now?

I don't need to guess the purpose of this dinner. It was long-planned.

But I must admit, I didn't expect it this fast. Its just a year after we graduated from college. We are both in the adjustment period in our family business.

Though I heard that Maru will be promoted as the General Manager of their company. I guess he adjusted so fast.

After our college graduation, we both decided to immediately start to work in our respective company. We both started in a lower position.

How did I knew all this? Its pretty simple. All Maru's actions are being reported to me by my dad. He likes him a lot.

After a few minutes, Maru and his family came.

His mom smiled and kiss me on the cheek. His dad did the same to me.

While Maru is just standing beside them.

"Maru, aren't you gonna greet your future wife and her parents?" His father said with full authority.

He followed his dad's command like a robot.

He came to me and kiss me on my cheek. He did the same to my mom. While he offer a handshake to my dad.

After all the greetings, we head back to our table and call the waiter to serve the food.

"So Mara, I heard that your now the head of the Marketing team." Mrs. Ottave said.

"Yes Mrs. Ottave. I was promoted last week." I said in a formal tone.

"Oh Mara you can just call me auntie or mommy if you want." She said sweetly.

"Okay auntie." I respectfully answered.

"And I heard Maru will be promoted as a General Manager" my mom butt in.

Maru nodded. "Yes. Mrs. Almonte, I will take that position next week."

"Oh dear you can just call me Auntie."

"Okay Auntie."

After that, we started to talk about business.

"I guess we all know the reason of this dinner." Maru's dad said after our business talk.

All of us remain quiet, waiting for him to talk.

"We are planning to have your engagement next week and your wedding in 3 months time." Uncle said with finality.

Our parents nodded in agreement.

"Okay. I guess 3 months is enough to prepare for the wedding." My mom said.

Uncle look at Maru and said "And you young man, you need to breakup with your girlfriend."

I saw he clenched his jaw.

I smirked.

What will you do now Maru?

He sighed and answered. "Yes Dad."

I was bit shocked. Is that it? He just agreed that fast? I thought he love her?

"Good son."

I just shake my head in disbelief.

After our dinner. I am preparing to leave when my mother stop me.
