Chapter 33
Dominic
It’s getting late now and considering the weather outside, Vanessa and I are definitely not leaving tonight and this complicates things a little.
My mother’s already given instructions for our bedroom to be ready soon. It’s the same one which was once my bedroom. This house has five floors and fifteen bedrooms, and Vanessa and I have a whole floor to ourselves for the night.
The fact that I actually have to sleep in the same bed with her is something I didn’t see coming. I even regret coming to this dinner. I
should’ve said we couldn’t make it.
Usually, I tell Carmella what I’m up to if I see it fit, but this is definitely something she doesn’t need to know about. She’ll just freak out and
don’t want that.
The only reason I don’t want to be in the same bedroom with Vanessa is because it’s never happened before. It’s not like I don’t know how to
handle myself.
I also didn’t expect my father to mention his grandchildren at all. I thought everything I’ve done so far would be enough to keep up appearances until the day he would let me take over the company. But now that they’re already so expectant, how will I get out of this?
I had plans to divorce Vanessa as soon as I would have the company. And I was certain it was soon. But now I have to change my mindset. I don’t see my father giving me what I want so easily.
While everyone is engaged in conversation, my father and I leave for his home office. He says he has something important to show me.
Opening the door to his home office, he says, “I know this is supposed to just be the family having a good chat, but hey, you’re already here so I might as well use this to my advantage. You’ll want to brace yourself for this.”
He’s making me even more curious. I wonder what he wants to show me.
“is this about the company?” I ask, pulling out a chair on one side of the large table.
His response is only a chuckle as he walks over to the other side of the table.
I wait in silence as he powers on his computer, my mind drifting off to Vanessa and I sleeping in the same bed for the first time. I then come to the decision that I’ll sleep on the custom made couch in the bedroom.
“You obviously know Project J–22,” My father catches my attention.
“How could I not know such a huge project and one you never let me actively work on? Even now, when it’s nearing completion, you still won’t let me work on it.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“That’s about to change,” he says, hovering with his mouse as he looks at his screen. “Come over here, son.”
Curious, I get out of my seat and go over to him, leaning forward to study the data on the screen. It’s all about Project J–22
“Tell me what you think of this data.” He leans back in his seat with crossed arms.
It only takes me a few minutes to analyze the data and I straighten up once I’m done.
“Well? Au
“Well? Any suggestions?” he asks.
“I only see one problem here. There aren’t enough data centers in certain regions. The southern needs three and the northern needs one. The other two seem to operate fairly well”

With a nod, my father gives me a round of applause as he gets out of his seat.

“You truly are my son. That’s exactly what I was thinking. No one else seemed to share the same opinion as me, except you. This is why I’m bringing you on board.”
“Really?” My eyes widen in pleasant surprise.
“Of course.” He gently pats me on the back. “You’re getting closer to taking over, probably a year from now, and I need you to actively be involved as of this moment.”
Words can’t even describe the excitement I feel. This is such a huge step in the right direction.
“By the time my grandchildren start to be born, you’ll be experienced enough for me to evaluate you.”
My excitement fades a little at the realization that in a year, I could have the company of my dreams but at the same time, it’s expected that I’ll already be a father.
“You’ll be a fully grown and responsible man by then. I remember the days you were still a playboy, look at you now – already working on starting a family with Vanessa.”
“But Vanessa wasn’t the first. I was ready to start a family even before she came into the picture. Don’t you remember that I once wanted to marry Carmella?”
He instantly twists his face in disapproval. “Don’t even remind me about her, I still can’t believe our sweet Vanessa is friends with such a toxic and evil woman.”
