QUINEERA DIDN'T LIKE IT

"I also do not know. Actually the condition is easy. Papa asked me to attend his business partner's party invitation."

"That's an easy thing, Luke. Usually you like parties, right? Just go there! Then what's the problem?"

"I already guessed that the show there must be boring. The guests at the party must be old people. That's very annoying. That's why I want to invite you to attend the party. At least I have someone to talk to."

Luke noticed Gevariel's expressionless face. Luke didn't expect much because he knew his best friend was very introverted and always avoided crowded places. "Will your father allow you to help me at the restaurant if you attend the party?" Geva's question was full of curiosity. He wanted to make sure his friend's words were true or not.

"So true. That's why I wanted to go to the party with you! You definitely don't want Papa forbidding me to open a restaurant with you, right?" Luke issued a diplomatic language so that his friend would agree with him. He would try to get Gevariel influenced and accept his persuasion.

"Okay. I will accompany you. You said the old people will attend the party. I can sit with you without being disturbed by others. Old people don't really care who I am. I don't need to meet or talk to a lot of people because it's really annoying." Before attending the party Gevariel has thought of his comfort. Crowded places would make Gevariel anxious and if it got worse he could be frightened and his mind suddenly freezes.

"Are you serious?" Luke answered with a question. He couldn't believe that Gevariel would be so easy to persuade. He didn't have to do much to influence his friend. Luke knew very well that anyone would fail to invite Gevariel to a party even if it was his family.

"Very serious, Luke. I'm doing this for a new restaurant. I want to help you meet these requirements. I wouldn't be able to develop a restaurant without you."

"Great! Tomorrow we will go to the party."

Quineera arrived at the big house that belonged to her parents. The driver opened the car door for Quineera and Katty who were sitting in the back. Uncle Deon did have his own house, but occasionally he and his family stayed at Quineera's parents' house. At least they could monitor all the workers on duty in the house.

Today Uncle Deon's existence was not to monitor all the workers. They visited the house because their nephew was coming. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. Deon deliberately asked Max and Katty to accompany Quineera because her nephew would be the CEO of the company left by her parents.

"Uncle!" Quineera called out with a scream when she got out of the car. Her father's little brother was waiting for her at the door.

"My naughty nephew has arrived." Uncle Deon immediately hugged Quineera's body and was immediately greeted by his nephew. They hugged each other while expressing feelings of longing.

"Where is my aunt?" Quin looked for Aunt Jessie, Uncle Deon's wife.

"Your aunt in the kitchen. You already know her habits. Your aunt wants everything to be perfect. She is checking the food prepared by the kitchen maid," Uncle Deon explained. A happy smile was clearly visible on the adult man's face. He was really very happy because of his nephew coming.

"Quin!" Dessy, the second daughter of Uncle Deon, shouted her cousin's name. Dessy came closer and hugged Quineera very tightly.

"Wow! You are an adult now. The very spoiled Dessy is now in college." Quin joked while ruffling the girl's hair.

"Meet your aunt!" Uncle Deon gently pushed Quin's back and sent them to the kitchen. The two young ladies stepped into the kitchen.

"Hmmm!" Quineera cleared her throat to get Aunt Jessy's attention. Her trick worked because the woman immediately turned around.

"Quineera?" Aunt Jessie immediately handed the spatula she was holding to the kitchen maid. She saw Quin's face and hugged her. "You're getting prettier, sweety. Do you already have a boyfriend?" Aunt Jessy asked when their arms fell apart. The first question asked was something about Quineera dislike. Dessy also cleared her throat so that her mother would stop asking that question.

"I don't have a boyfriend yet, Auntie. I have to focus on the company. That's my priority now."

"I disagree, Quinn. You are 25 years old. You have to think about your spouse. If you are too busy, then you will think that marriage is not important." Aunt Jessy advised. According to her research, if adult women were already established in their careers, women tend to forget the desire to get married. As many people think. If men have more money, they will need women more, while women are the opposite. The more money, the less women need men. Jessy worried about Quineera because she knew exactly what the big family expected from Quineera who wanted to make the young lady as the successor of the company.

"Come on, Mom! Quinn just arrived. Don't ask strange things." Dessy immediately understood if her cousin did not like the question.

"Take Quin to her room. We will have dinner together tonight." Jessy ordered her daughter who had advised her.

The night greeted all the people in France. Quineera and her family were already sitting at the dining table. "Hi, all!" One voice from a man greeted them. Samuel was the eldest Quineera's cousin.

"Samuel!" Quineera was excited to see Samuel. She stood up and immediately hugged her cousin's muscular body. Samuel managed one of his family's gym businesses. No wonder his body was muscular. It seems that Uncle Deon's family would not be far from sports.

"Why are you so skinny?" Samuel immediately commented on Quin's body which according to most women was already very proportional. But as a gym trainer, Samuel prefered a woman's body not only thin but healthy and in shape.

"I know that you want to ask me to exercise, right?" Quineera immediately guessed what her brother was thinking.

"You're right."

Quineera and Dessy talking in the room. They hadn't seen each other for so long that they ignored the clock on the wall which said it was one in the morning.

"What? Uncle and aunt have prepared a welcome party for me?" Quineera's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of place. Dessy told her the welcome party was planned for her cousin and Quineera didn't like it.
