Chapter 29: Deal With Her Father
Chloe didn't need to wait for too long.
Within minutes, she stood in front of her father's office. It was located on the highest floor of their mansion, the 3rd floor. As she arrived in front of it, the heavy door slowly opened as if it were waiting for her arrival.
The office of her father was a world of its own.
Elegance and perfection could barely describe it.
Dark mahogany shelves stretched from floor to ceiling, packed with countless books—business strategy, global politics, rare first editions, and even philosophy texts bearing cracked leather spines as if they belonged to ancient times.
A tall glass window behind the main desk let in the golden rays of the late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the room's intricate Persian rug, one that was custom-made.
In one corner stood a vintage globe bar cart, and beside it was a well-maintained single bonsai tree that was resting on a raised stand. The scent of polished wood, aged paper, and faint cologne gave the room an aura of old money.
Several framed paintings and pictures hung on the plain wall on the other side of the shelves. Chloe recognized them immediately. There was a picture of her parents' wedding photo, a photo of her father with the current and previous president of the country, and another where he smiled beside a group of their company workers.
Below it was countless plaques, trophies, and certificates that showed how successful their family was.
And seated behind the dark wood desk in the middle was a man reviewing a document. He was wearing a reading glasses that perched on the bridge of his nose. He looked serious and imposing.
"Father..." Chloe's voice slowly trailed off.
