2 Conditions

Mina parked her silver Bugatti Veyron in front of the five-start hotel and passed the key to the valet

"Welcome back, Miss. Mo," Said the skinny valet boy about eighteen years old.

Mina smiled at him as her way of acknowledging and walked inside the lobby, decorated with the latest artifact. The hotel was one of the top Hotels in Z country, and she been living at the penthouse. Her life was constant in a different place all the time. Be it for business or for military purposes, she was always sleeping in different areas. Hence, the hotel was the best place to call home.

She opened her penthouse suite. The art on the walls blended well with the apartment, the hardwood floor, the expensive Italian couch, and a bedroom with king-size bed, with a walking-in-closet and bathroom that can fit fifteen people at the same time. The view was breathless with both the city's light and park. There was nothing personal in that penthouse, expect her clothes. She quickly took a shower and wore a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and head to the kitchen to make herself Mint-tea. It became part of her routine. Drinking Mint-tea as a way to cope with her stress.

A knock rings out on the door, and she quickly answers it with her cup mint tea in her hand.

"Well, did you miss me?" he said with attitude. His purses his lips, slightly pushing the door wide open and then lets himself inside.

"What do you want Zi Wei ?" she asked as she closes the door behind him

"Oh, girl. Is this how you welcome your best friend?" he turns and asks her seriously, gazing his eyes up and down her body. "Each time I see you, you become more female-like... No wonder your grandpa insists you come back?" he causal says as he sat down on the couch.

"What did you find out?" she asked, now fully paying her attention to him.

He pats the spot next to him. She purses her lips and takes a seat.

"Well, your grandfather wants to divide his money" Zi Wei bites down on his lower lip, and Mina tries not to laugh at his pathetic attempt at being coy. He lives for the drama, and he was known for the king of blowing things out of proportions, considering they both met in Military school when they were ten years old. After graduating from Military school, he purses his writing career, and the majority of his novel had made it to the big screen.

Mina rolls her eyes as she waits for him to get out of being one of his characters in his novels. "

"And?" she asked.

"Well, he decided to divide the inheritance among his grandchild instead of his two sons and daughter…" he pauses again. He makes a face and crosses his legs as if building a dramatic scene as he pretends to look at his watch as if it was the most intriguing thing in the living room.

"Are you going to tell me, or should I wait and find out after two weeks. When I travel back to B Country?"

"What you are going to, B country?"

Mina nodded her head as she slowly continues to drink her tea. Now it was her turn to play the game.

He stood up from the couch and start walking back and forth before finally saying.

"Well, for any of his grandchildren to inherit his wealth, they have to fulfill three conditions."

"What kind of conditions?"

"According to Red, he said that three conditions are his grandchildren are required to apply a specific job he assigns to, and you have to maintain that job at least for a year. The following conditions are to get married to any wealthy family in B country, and last is to maintain that marriage for two years. Therefore, a total for three years. The first one to complete get not only the majority of the shares of Mo's empire but also becomes the leader of the Mo family."

A harsh laugh escaped Mina. "I am not interested in any of their money. Besides, I am already a multi-billionaire. Even though my money is not old money like Mo's family, still, I am not far away from reaching them.."

"True. what have you decided?"

" I am not going to do any of that," she replied as she bit her lips and continues to drink.

"If you say so. Just in case you change your mind, I am also from a wealthy family in B country, I can fulfill one of the conditions?" he says as he winks at her.

"Asshole"

"Bitch"

"I need to go and finish my novel... Do not miss me."

He kisses her forehead and leaves. The moment the door closed, all anger she has suppress emerged like a hurricane.

Shaking with anger, as she recalled how her mother died due to lack of proper medication, the poor condition she was raised in for nine years. Despite her mother showering her love, she died at the end due to an accident caused by her step-mother when her mother went to seek money to take Mina to hospital. Her father defended his wife, and because they had the power, she did not go to jail and enjoyed her life.

Her grandfather was the only one who paid her hospital fee and helped her bury her mother in Mo's cemetery when the rest of the family were against it. And When her grandfather left for a business trip, she was shipped to military school. It took seven years for her grandfather to find her. But she was already changed, she no longer a girl but a woman, she was not innocent, the naive girl he saw when she was nine but strong, warrior and cunning sixteen years old.

Since then, her grandfather kept in touch with her. Even so, she never trusted anybody, hence never shared to tell her grandfather that she, not a young girl persuading business but a multi-billionaire woman.
