Greatest regret 3

The room was filled with people From aristocratic family drinking and chatting,I took a deep breath before walking into the banquet hall.

"Alison" my father called out my name from the crowd.

I confidently walk to meet him.

"Mr kim naettal-iya Alison{this is my daughter Alison}"my father introduce me to him in Korean.

"annyeonghaseyo ajeossi{hello mister}"I greeted extending my hand for a shake.

The man take a thorough look at me and smile before accepting the shake.

"You have grow so much the first time I met you was 10 years ago"he said In English.

"Met?"I asked confused.

"Yes an..."his phone rang interrupting him.

"Is important "he said leaving the hall.

"Where is mom?"I asked my father.

"He couldn't make it, actually you look stunning"my father said.

"I know"I replied.

"You should say thank you when someone complement you"my father advice patting my hair gently.

"Why should I appreciate a mere complement for something I already have"I said with a smirk walking away.

"You"My father said in annoyance.

"What am I supposed to do with this girl "my father muttered shaking his head silently.

The anniversary celebration lasted the whole night with my father introducing different noble blood to me.

The next day,I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, without checking the caller I declined it,it rang again few seconds after the alarm clock rang.

"Hello"I said sleepily.

"Morning baby, rise and shine"Jerry's voice shouted on the phone.

Jumping up from the bed , taking a deep breath before placing the phone to my ear"are you insane,do you want me to go deaf from your screaming and most importantly did you called me early in the morning to say this?.

"Yes,sin...." I disconnect the call leaving his words hanging.

"What a phycho "I said throwing my phone on the bed in annoyance before leaving to prepare for school.

In school,I narrated what transpired between me and Jerry to Christabel and she advice me to be careful around Jerry and she will never approve my relationship with him.

The school dismissed as usual.

"Are you free today?"Christabel asked as we walked down to the parking lot where my driver usually wait for me.

"N.."my speech got interrupted by a phone call from my brother.

"Who is it?"Christabel asked.

"My brother"I replied before answering the call.

"Hey sis, can you do me a favor?"my brother asked immediately.

"What?, make it snappy"I answered.

"I suppose to have a meeting with the a client from china by 4:30 at a club"he said .

"what that supposed to do with me?"I asked arrogantly.

"I can't make it on time, and if I can't arrive on time am afraid the deal will be Lost "he explained.

"Then call dad"I said.

"Dad is occupied"

"And mom?"I asked.

"She is also busy"he answered.

"What do you want me to do?"I asked.

"Uh-huh m, you know"he said nervously.

"Since you can say it am out"I said.

"Wait!, I want you to dress as me and attend to him till I arrive"he said fastly.

"Am not doing that again, do you think we can still fool them you are at least two or three feet taller now and remember I hate club"I said.

"But you are witty like me,he will be fooled by your age, All you have to do is keep me connected till I signal you out"he said.

"Well .."

"Please do this for me your only brother "he pleaded.

"Who says you are my only brother I have Jayden "I answered.

"Will you do it?"he asked.

"Yes, but it will be the last"I replied after giving it some thought.

"I love you,I will send over people to help with your disguise and the same clothes as me and the address"he said happily disconnecting the call.

"Christabel; My brother need My help,"I said in a low tone.

"Is alright your brother need you must, but you are all mine tomorrow and remember to say hi to him on my behalf "she said with a smile .

"He will drop you off "I offered.

"No you should go,I will take the bus"she rejected.

"I insist"I said dragging her into the car and instuct the driver to drop her off before heading to designated place sent by my brother.

I arrive at the designation my brother message me, the people sent by him was outside waiting for me.

"Omg, you do resemble him like he claims"the only female among the three said In mesmerization.

"Yes,are you twins"the two male asked together.

"No , he is my elder brother"I replied.

They took me to a private room at the club where they disguise me as my brother, they couldn't take their eyes off me till I left the room to find the client my brother mentioned.

I asked one of the bar attenders, who said that the man is waiting at the VIP service area,he took me to a dimly lit room with lots of people drinking and chatting, he pointed At aman who seem to be in his late thirty or early forty dress in black sitting alone at the corner of the room before leaving.

I connect my brother before walking to the man.

"Nǐ hǎo, yīgè rén hējiǔ bù hǎo"{hello is bad to drink alone}" I said in Chinese.

"Nǐ shì?{you are?}"he asked.

"wǒ jiào Alexander Jones {my name is Alexander Jones}"I answered presenting my brother business card.

He took the business card, look at it before looking at me with doubtfulness.

"Any problem?"I asked in English still maintaining my composure.

"Nice"my brother said through the ear pod I wore earlier .

"Well you look more younger than I expected"he said before handing his own business card.

"Mr Lin"I said looking At the card.

He smile before asking me to seat.

"Care for a drink?"he asked.

"My brother drink but I can't, what should I do"I asked myself.

"Say later "my brother said through the ear pods.

"Maybe later,if the deal work out"I replied with a smile.

"Why did you choose this place for a business deal?"I asked to buy My brother more time.

"I love dark and noisy places "he replied

"Just like me but the difference is I love dark and quiet place"I muttered.

"What?"he asked.

"Nothing"I said.

We chatted and laugh for few minutes before he brought up the deal and luckily my brother have I arrived.

"Excuse me,a call from nature"I said excusing my self.

I met my brother at the door hug and kiss me on the forehead.

"I love you sis,I owe you one "he said happily.

"No , you owe me two "I corrected.

"Check your account balance "he said.

"Two hundred thousand dollar, you stingy man "I said unmoved by it.

"You are welcome"he said entering the room.

I smile entering the room and change back into my dress.
