A Deal With The Millionaire

” So are you gonna talk or what? ” Mrs Brown asked, getting tired of the sudden silence that erupted between them. Layla had called her and Mr Brown together at the dinning table, saying she had something important to say.

” Um… Mom it’s about my boyfriend ” She said and Mrs Brown raised her brows. ” What about him? ” She asked.

” He’s not whom I told you he was ” She said the truth and Mrs Brown sat up properly on her seat. ” Wait what? ” She asked to be sure if her ears hadn’t betrayed her.

” Mom.. ” Layla tried to call but Mrs Brown cut her off. ” So what you’re trying to say Is that you lied to us? ” Mrs Brown asked almost angrily, pointing at Mr Brown and then at herself.

” Yeah somehow ” Layla muttered in acknowledgement and Mrs Brown scoffed unbelievably. ” I knew something was fishy! ” She shouted and hit the table loudly that Layla flinched and Mrs Brown wasn’t an exception, he flinched lightly.

” So you’ve grown wings right? You now lie to I and your dad! You now keep secrets!? Huh!? ” Mrs Brown shouted at once but Layla wasn’t flinching. She only let out a sigh.

” Mom. I’m 20 already! I can take care of myself. I can decide what’s best for me and I know what I want. You don’t expect me to tell you everything right? It’s my personal life mom ” Layla said softly and Mrs Brown scoffed unbelievably.

” Gosh. I can’t believe this Layla. You’ve changed so much.. you’ve changed! This isn’t my daughter! No! Something must have went wrong! ” Mrs Brown muttered unbelievably, shooking her head.

Layla only smiled lightly. ” Mom it’s me and no one else and nothing is wrong with me, I’m fine. I’m only spilling facts mom.. It’s my life, I’m old enough to make decisions and decide what’s best for me ” She said and Mrs Brown hit the table more louder this time around.

” Just shut up okay?? And apologize for talking back at your mom! ” Mr Brown yelled at Layla, preventing Mrs Brown from saying what she had in mind.

” Dad… ” Layla tried to object but he cut her off. ” Apologize! ” He snapped at her.

Layla let out an unbelievable scoff. ” I sincerely can’t believe you two right now! I even didn’t talk back at mom and I wasn’t rude in anyway! And I’m fvcking tired of you two controlling my life! It’s my life! You two have been doing this, ever since I was a kid! Please stop! Stop trying to control my life! You both are my parents, I respect and understand that but there are some things that are personal to me! There’s something called personal decision! Leave me to my decisions! Please! ” Layla shouted and dropped a tab on the table.

” And yes… I lied to you two and I’m sorry for that. I actually do have a boyfriend but sorry but he’s from a wealthy man and I don’t care if you two aren’t gonna approve but I love him so much and can’t do without him. There is his picture. He’s gonna be your son in law soon ” Layla muttered and walked out of their view at once, ignoring their shocked looks and leaving them in awe.

Their daughter just disobeyed thier order and dare walked out on them, something she had never done.

Mrs Brown sat back on her seat dejectedly and faced Mrs Brown. ” Do you think we’re doing too much? I think we overdid it ” Mrs Brown said to Mr Brown and he nodded in support. ” Yeah ” He mumbled. ” She had never talked back at us ” Mrs Brown said. ” Yeah it’s shocking ” Mr Brown supported.

” Who’s he? ” Mrs Brown asked Mr Brown as he took the tab and his gaze transfixed on the screen. ” Mr Kent… ” Mr Brown muttered unbelievably and in shock. Mrs Brown raised her brows in confusion and he handed over the tab to her and she also had the same expression on as she stared at the screen.

” Mr.. Kent.. how come? ” She muttered confusedly.

** Shane’s Apartment **

” I think that’s a bit harsh ” Shane said to Layla who sat in his front with a guilty look on. ” Yeah, I shouldn’t have raised my voice or even walk out on them. I guess I was only frustrated and now that I think of it, it’s stupid ” She mumbled under her breath.

Shane sighed before pulling her to him. ” It’s fine, all you just need to do is apologize, and I’m sure they would understand that you were just frustrated and you didn’t mean it ” Shane assured, stroking her hair and then placed a kiss on her hair.

” You sure? ” Layla asked as she pulled away from the hug and staring deep into his eyes. He smiled and then nodded. ” Yeah, do you want me to go home with you then?.. to see your parents ” Shane asked, looking at her with sincerity on his face but Layla’s brows were still raised.

” Really? You would do that? ” She asked and he nodded. ” Yeah anything for you, I don’t think it’s gonna be that bad tho ” He muttered and a smiled formed on her lips. She pecked his lips at once and pulled away almost immediately and flashed him a smile. ” I love you ” She muttered and Shane smiled too. ” I love you too ” He muttered and pulled her into his arms once again.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

** The Girl’s Apartment **

Layla walked inside without looking sideways and her gaze was focused on where she was headed to – the stairs. She kept her face straight, she wasn’t ready for an argument with her parents.

Tho she had planned to apologize but not at that moment anymore, she was suddenly developing a headache. ” Layla.. ” She heard her mom’s voice but she didn’t stop and only continued her journey up the stairs.

She was finally out of view and now on her way to her room. ” I’m sorry mom ” She muttered to herself as she pushed the door opened and walked inside her room.

” She’s still mad at us ” Mrs Brown muttered to Mr Brown and he nodded. ” Yeah I guess” Mr Brown replied.

” Do you think we should go talk to her in her room? ” Mrs Brown asked but Mr Brown shook his head. ” No.. it looks like she needs some space. Let’s give it to her ” Mr Brown said and she nodded in acceptance.

” Yeah ” She muttered sadly. ” What do we do now? It’s Shane Kent.. what do you think about him? Should we let our hatred for people like him take us over and lose a nice man like him.. we both know he has a good personality ” Mr Brown asked his wife. ” I don’t know.. What do you think? ” Mrs Brown asked instead.

” I love Mr Kent’s Personality but do I want him for our daughter? ” Mr Brown asked rhetorically and Mrs Brown raised her brows raised her brows confusedly.

** Kent’s Enterprise **

” Layla isn’t at work today sire ” Claus reported to Shane and he nodded in approval. ” Yeah, she talked to me last night about having a headache. We should go check up on her after closing at work today ” He said without raising his head up and Claus nodded accompanied with a light bow.

” Any other vital thing I need to be aware of? ” He asked but Claus shook his head. ” None sire ” He answered.

” Great then. You can take your leave ” Shane said and Claus bowed lightly and exited the office immediately.

Shane was still focused on the files before him when the door creaked open slowly and he heard approaching footsteps.

” Claus.. what is it? ” He asked without looking up but instead heard an unfamiliar voice. ” Mr Kent.. ” The hush voice came out and Shane raised his head and was more than shocked at the view before him. His eyes suddenly behaved like they weren’t his and the files he held in his hands fell to the floor but he didn’t bother to pick them.

” Hello.. I’m Mr Brown and next to me is Mrs Brown. We’re your girlfriend’s parents ” Mr Brown confirmed his thoughts and abruptly, Shane stood up at once.

” Um.. Morning sir and ma ” He said with a bow, suddenly unsure of what to do.

” Please have your seat ” He ushered them nervously to the two seats before his table.

The couple flashed him a smile as they both walked over to the seat before him while he watched in awe as they both sat.
