#Chapter2
Matthew Lemiere
/"What took you so long? What is that stain?/" My mom asked.
/"Sorry.. I came out from the meeting late and a girl bumped me with her taco./" I said as I sat down beside my sister. I ruffled her hair and smiled widely at her.
/"Don't touch me!/" She smacked my hand away.
/"How's the meeting?/" My dad asked.
/"Nicholas.. No talking about business when we're eating./" My mom said.
/"Chloe.. I'm jus-/" My mom shut my dad's mouth with her index finger.
/"Let's order./"
/"Yes! I'm hungry../" Dylan said
/"Why didn't you all order first?/" I asked.
/"You know mom../" Brandon said and we ordered our food first.
/"Oh.. Before I forgot.. We're all going to New Zealand!/" My dad announced excitedly with his cheeky face and we all turned to him without any expression.
/"What's with those faces?/" He asked looking at us 4.
/"Again?/" Dylan asked.
/"That's what I told him../" My mom said.
/"Babe.. are you kidding me?/" My dad turned to her, looking at my mom in disbelief.
/"Go there with mom../" Crystal said savagely.
/"Oh come on.. I want to go with you guys./"
/"Dad.. We went there 3x times in 4 months and we did the same thing over and over again./" Brandon said.
/"How about Greece?/" My mom suggested.
/"Call me in./" Crystal said, raising her hand and smirking to dad.
/"Kiddo.. you supposed to be on my side./" My dad said to her.
/"I'm not your kiddo./" She said and my dad rolled his eyes. My mom chuckled.
/"I'm going to the toilet../" My mom said and she left.
/"Okay, how's the meeting?/" My dad asked when mom's gone.
/"Good.. We need 5 new people who are good in designs to deal with the brand. We're currently looking for it./"
/"We opened it like 3 months ago right?/" My dad asked.
/"Yeah.. We will decide the people next week./" I said.
/"Why 5?/" Dylan asked.
/"We need a lot of ideas.. we can't just deal with one./" I answered.
/"You're dumb./" Brandon said to Dylan.
/"Boys../" My dad warned.
/"I'm staying at Joan tonight./" Crystal said.
/"No./" My dad said as soon as she finished.
/"Dad.. are you kidding me?/"
/"We're watching spiderman tonight./" He took out the movie tickets from his inner pocket.
/"Great../" Crystal said in a sarcastic tone.
/"Oh come on.. We will watch it together with the others./"
/"Okay fine./" Crystal said.
/"Honey.. aren't you going to tell them about the training?/" My mom said as she sat down.
/"What?/" Dylan asked looking at my dad curiously.
/"I hired 2 more trainers for you guys./"
/"Anwar and Fred not enough?/" Brandon asked.
/"More strength training and guns. You need to gain more of that.. Brandon./" He pointed at Brandon's hand muscle.
/"Ha!/" Dylan mocked him.
/"Good.. I need to make my butt bigger./" Crystal said.
/"You're hot enough./" My mom said.
/"But no one wants to date me../" She hissed and glared at us.
/"I want you to date when you're 30.. no.. 35.. no no 40./" My dad said.
/"You dated mom when she's 23./"
/"Your mom is diffe-/"
/"Shut it.. You can date./" My mom said.
/"Try and date one./" Dylan said and I chuckled.
/"Goodluck with that./" Brandon added.
/"Goodluck lil sis../" I smiled sweetly to her and she rolled her eyes. At the same time, the food came and we started to dig in.
/"So New Zealand?/"
/"No!/" We all said in unison.
After we ate our lunch, we all get back to work. I started to have a meeting with my brand team. Lemiere is planning to open a clothing line. We already got everything but we still have no designs for the shirts, shorts, hats and etc.
We already did a survey and I think young people these days love cool shirts and street wear kinda thing so we wanna try it. I mean the brand won't be Lemiere but it's called the T I L E. Ask my dad why he named it that.. I don't know the meaning.
We're planning to make world stars wear it so it will be good in the sales. I mean paying them will be expensive but you'll get all the money back soon. Not only world stars.. but we will also wear it.
/"Crystal.. I want you to screen all of the design people that applied for the job./" I said as I entered her place.
/"Me? Are you kidding me? Ask Brandon!/"
/"Just do it../" She protested again but I ignored her. I gave her the files and believed her to pick 5 out of hundreds of people that applied.
/"What's up?/" I asked as I saw Dylan enter my room.
/"Who's going to handle T I L E?/" He asked.
/"You../"
/"Are you kidding me? I just took on a new project./" He looked at me in disbelief.
/"You will take it./" My dad entered my office and I turned to him disbelief.
/"Dad.. I have 6 projects and work in my hands right now./"
/"He got 7 and Brandon got 5./"
/"You should give it to Brandon./"
/"Just do it.. I'm taking the Car assemble project from you./" He said as he took the file from my office and I nodded. My dad left after that.
/"Okay fine../"
/"I'm going to Dubai next week.. Handle it for a week please./" I said to Dylan and he nodded.
/"Where's the files?/"
/"I gave it to Crystal./" I said and he walked out. I walked out to go to the T I L E team's floor. When I walked out from the lift.. They greeted me right away. I gestured to them to have a meeting with me.
/"Next week the new 5 designers will come and please ask them to make a lot of designs. I will lead this time but since I will go to Dubai next week.. my brother Dylan will take over for a week./"
/"Yes.. sir./"
/"Okay.. Please find lots of colors and materials again. I want you to bring me all the examples in 2 weeks. That's it.. thank you./" I said and smiled. They nodded and I walked out from the meeting room.
New Project.. again..
