Cassandra's P. O. V

I hailed a taxi, trying to get to my father. He told me five minutes ago that I am needed over the office and that it's urgent.

Some important clients flew in from New York and asked for my presence.

I hope the company is fine because dad worked from day by day getting the business running.

Over the years the company has had some difficulties but we made it through. I hope it's fine now.

I finally got a cab and quickly told them the address of dad's company.

After the stop I thanked the driver while paying him his five dollars.

I escaped his cab before sprinting into the two front doors before it automatically closed.

I ran to the elevator and pushed the button indicating that I'm going to the top floor.

I leaned on the back of my small box trying to control my breathing. While doing that I tried to wonder what could be so urgent right now.

A ping got me out of my thinking phase.

Wow that was quick.

I briskly walked to the door to the far end of the building.

I said my hellos and heys to the employees.

I can't seem to realize that the workers got less over the past two week I've been here.

Somewhere a handful but I respect them. No matter how low they're.

Mom always told me to be kind to everyone even if they are low or high level in this crazy world.

I finally made it to the doors but before I opened it I took a breath then cracked the doors open revealing my father and mother looking awfully stressed and regrets glitched in the eyes once a while.

"You called?",I asked.

"Oh, honey",mom came and embraced me in a hug."We tried,honey,we really did",she cried.

"What are you talking about?",more like crying ,"what's wrong, dad?"I let go of mom noticing dad didn't even acknowledge my presence.

He didn't answer. All this is doing is making me angry and more concerned.

"I asked you a question",I fired.

He huffed,"the company got bankrupt",he looked down awfully disappointed in himself.

"How can this be,one week ago I called asking about it and you said it was fine,what now?"

"Things change,we aren't earning enough money to maintain the business. I tried everything,tried getting investments from other companies but they wouldn't put their investments in our company, and I tried getting rid of some employees,and they didn't work, it just worsens the situation",he groans.

I was kind of wondering where the employees went.

"So,what do we do now?",I asked.

"An investor wants to invest,but what he wants,i—i can't do it",he looked down.

"What,what does he want?"

He didn't answer.

"What does he want dad!?",I demanded.

"H—he wants you to make an arrangement".

"What arrangement?",I asked further.

"To marry his son".
