"Uncle Philip,can you please turn on the music."I requested.
"Sure,but since when did you start listening to music whilst moving in a car?"he asked as he looked at me and then to the nervous boy sitting by me through the rear–view mirror.
"Who is he by the way?This is your first time bringing someone in the car. He must be very special."He said and I noticed the panic on Eric's face.
"Not funny,uncle. He's not my boyfriend if that's what you implying. I'm just doing his brother a favor."I said.
"You know his brother?who is he?"uncle Philip asked curiously.
"He's a manager in mom's hotel. That's why we are going there. " I answered.
"Still, your mom would be very thrilled to see you come to her workplace willingly."he said with a smiley face.
Ten minutes had passed when we finally got to the hotel.K&K Saltsman Hotel. My mom said she had named the hotel after my brother and I. She used our initials, Kiara and Ken. But I didn't believe her though since the whole family's names started with the letter'K'.
Kenneth Saltsman,my dad.
Keith Saltsman,my mom.
Ken Saltsman,my younger brother then me, Kiara Saltsman.The family of Ks.
We got to the security check but the security guard let us through once he saw uncle Philip and I.He then went to park the car in a garage only for the Saltsman family. I saw my mom's car parked there which meant she was here.
I got out and motioned Eric to get out as well. We entered the reception and the receptionist stood up from her chair to greet me once she saw me.
"Good day,Miss Saltsman."
I nodded and looked at the boy standing there.He was so quiet ,I thought he wasn't with me. Couldn't he loosen up a bit knowing I'm not like those bullies?
"Please show him to his brother.He works here."I said to her and she nodded.
"Good bye.See you in school tomorrow."I said to him and headed towards the elevator.
"Thank you for the ride." I heard him say so I turned and starred at him then nodded. I entered the elevator,heading to the last floor where my mom was.
The elevator came to a stop once I had gotten to the twelfth floor. It opened and I got out heading to my mom's office. She was the only one occupying this floor.Well she was the CEO so she deserved it. She had not only her office here but a studio,gym room,dressing room and a place where she relaxed. She called that her 'I go there when I'm tired.'room.
I knocked in the door and waited for her response.
"Who is there?"she asked inside.
"It's me Kiara."I answered . I was waiting for her to let me in but there was no response. I was about to knock again when the door flung open and I saw her with a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Oh my God,it's really you in the flesh.Finally my daughter came to see me on her own accord. What an unexpected surprise visit?"she exclaimed as she pulled me inside her office and closed the door behind me then hugged me. I hugged her back.
"How was school?'she asked.
"It was fine."I answered and she pulled herself back.
"So why are you here?I know you didn't come just to check on me."she said and I blushed in embarrassment knowing she was right.
If you must know ,my mom was my role model. I completely looked up to her as she had achieved all these things on her own yet people said it was because she married my dad that's why she was where she was now.
My mother,Mrs. Keith Andrea Saltsman,her full name, was a renown actress in this country. She had acted in countless movies and series and I loved all of them but my favorite series was the 'dark angel', where she played Anastasia,an agent who solved criminal cases and My Sweet Love,a romantic movie she played as the female lead. She had won an Oscar for it. When it comes to the awards,they are so many. She has four Oscars,three Emmys and two Tony's. She just needs a Grammy to become an EGOT but I know that won't happen since she doesn't pursue music. Maybe unless she acts a musical.
She is also a worldly recognized model. I won't be lying if I said my mom is the the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Her skin though brown is very smooth and always looked fresh. Her features were also exquisite and she was quite tall and slender.
She is also an international brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton .
So far she owned the biggest hotel and restaurant in the country and I was so proud of her and I wanted to be just like her.
"My friend's brother worked here so I brought him ."I answered.
"What's his name?"she asked.
"Joshua Drey."I replied.
"Oh I know him.I had hired him personally two years ago. "she said.
"Why?"I asked.
"I just saw great potential in him after he had risked his life to catch a thief who tried to escape when the security guards were chasing him."she said.
"Oh so he's the one."I said aware of that story.
"Would you wait for me so we go home together?"she asked and I nodded. I had already come here so we might as well go home together.
"I have to thank this boy who made it possible for my daughter to visit me in my work place."she said and I smiled remembering that timid boy.
