"Hahaha...

" They all laughed as they all cycled.

"Yeah... He was so funny... I couldn't believe that Jason can be fun too... But when I see him like that, I really couldn't believe it... Hahaha...

" Valentina said as she laughed out loud.

"Are you serious right now? Why should you have to tell everything?

" Jason asked raising his eyebrows.

"What? I am just telling about you to your parents, not to someone else, Idiot...

" Valentina answered.

"Still...

" Margaret cut off Jason in mid-sentence.

"Jason, son... We know you so well... But still, there are still a few things, that we don't know about you because you are staying away from us... Let Valentina tell us everything...

" Margaret said making Jason roll his eyes and Elijah laughed.

"Dad... Tell Valentina to stop please.

" Jason said.

"Well... They are funny stories... Why will I tell hee to stop?

" Elijah asked making Jason roll his eyes.

"Seriously? You all are just unbelievable right now!

" Jason answered making everyone laugh out loud.

"Well... They are quite funny though.

" Elijah said making Jason roll his eyes.

"Val, tell us how was Jason when he first met you? I know... But still, I want to know from you...

" Margaret said and Valentina nodded her head.

"Mom, Seriously?

" Jason asked.

"What? You might have lied to me...

" Margaret answered.

"Mom... Why will I lie to you?

" Jason asked and Margaret shrugged.

"How would I know?

" Margaret asked making Jason shook his head.

"Val... Dare you tell anything to mom...

" Jason said to Valentina.

"Dare accepted.

" Valentina replied making Jason frown and Elijah, Margaret laughed.

"What?

" Jason asked.

"What? I am not scared of you... But in fact, you were scared of me... Weren't you?

" Valentina asked and Jason gulped down his saliva with nervousness.

"What?

" Valentina asked making Jason roll his eyes.

"Shut up.

" Jason said making Valentin laugh out loud.

"You are just so cute, Jason... Awww...

" Valentina said making Elijah and Margaret smiled while Jason frowned.

"Alright... Tell us...

" Margaret said.

"What tell? There is nothing.

" Jason replied.

"No, there is...

" Valentina said making Jason roll his eyes.

"That was just a normal business meeting...

" Jason replied.

"No, it was not... Well... It is... But I am sure, it was not for you.

" Valentina said.

"Huh? Why? How can it will not be a normal meeting for me?

" Jason asked and Valentina shrugged.

"It just will not... That's it...

" Valentina answered.

"Val... Please...

" Jason said with sweetness dripping from his tongue.

"Aww...

" Margaret said making Elijah to chuckle.

"My son is really cute right now...

" Margaret said making Jason sigh.

"You guys... Are just unbelievable.

" Jason replied as he rolled his eyes.

"Ohh... I guess, we are!

" Valentina said making Jason raise his eyebrows at her.

"Okay, fine... Valentina tells us...

" Margaret said.

"Mom, you are so excited to know... I am telling you it was just a normal meeting... Nothing else...

" Jason replied.

"Ohh... I will tell you if it's a normal meeting or not after listening to the story.

" Margaret said making Jason sigh.

"You will be the death of me someday, Val...

" Jason said.

"Don't worry, I will not be!

" Valentina replied making everyone chuckle.

"Okay... Fine... So, what happened is... It was a business deal of a brand that is launching their new collection... I was behind to get the new deal when he comes into the view... Damn... That day, I was just like... Ohh... My new competitor is here... Let's see, until when he can compete with me... But god damn... He really does give a tough fight... At last, I lost the deal and he won it...

" Valentina said making Jason chuckle.

"Well, I thought you will win it. But...

" Elijah replied as he shrugged.

"Dad... Don't you trust your son?

" Jason asked and Elijah shrugged again.

"I do... But not with the Valentina Jackson... You can't fight with her... I know that... But somehow she left you... I don't know how... I am still curious about it.

" Elijah answered making Valentina chuckle.

"Well... He really deserves that deal more than me... So, I didn't do anything... And the thing is, I felt him playing genuinely with me. So, I gave up on the deal.

" Valentina said and Elijah nodded his head with a smile.

"Well... He quite started zoning out in the meeting... I will tell you what happened... Actually, the staff bought coffee... I saw him that he just kept staring at me and when the staff was about to give him the coffee... He without seeing kept his fingers in the mug...

" Valentina said as she laughed out loud making Elijah, Margaret laugh and Jason rolled his eyes.

"Well... Not his fault... I really looked so beautiful that day...

" Valentina said making Jason roll his eyes.

"And as soon as he kept his fingers in the mug without seeing, He yelled out loud disturbing the meeting.

" Valentina said making Margaret shook her head.

"Idiot... You didn't tell me this...

" Margaret said making Jason roll his eyes.

"Well... I don't think, I should say this to you!

" Jason replied.

"I am your Mom... You need to tell me everything.

" Margaret said making Jason sigh.

"Fine... I will tell you everything from now on...

" Jason replied making Margaret smile brightly.

"Good boy.

" Margaret said making Jason roll his eyes.

"And after that?

" Elijah asked.

"Dad... Why are you so interested in this suddenly?

" Jason asked.

"Well... For the first time in the life, I am listening that my son got distracted by a girl in a meeting! Why will not I be interested to know more?

" Elijah asked making Jason roll his eyes.

"Dad...

" Jason said making Elijah chuckle.

"You are so into her, Jason.

" Elijah replied making everyone laugh and Elijah scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"Well... I like her attitude at that time... That speaks about power. Damn... I didn't see a woman sitting and talking so fine rudely with the dealers in my business life, Dad... What do you expect me to do?

" Jason asked.

"That's what, Valentina Jackson is for everyone... I know her very well... Even before you got into the business, I have my eyes on her and jer business strategies... She will bend any man in front of her if she wants something... Damn... You are so awesome, Val.

" Elijah said making Valentina chuckle.

"Thank you, Uncle Elijah... Well... As I started dealing with the business from a young age... I have seen many people playing dirtyly with their business and getting their companies to the top. Seeing that, I couldn't stop myself and thought that genuine will do nothing for me... Then getting bullied by these top companies... And so, I came a bully to all these top companies.

" Valentina replied making Elijah chuckle.

"Well, as a woman... Taking up the companies to these top in this generation with criticism and all is so great... You need to balance your mental state and physical state at the same time... You need to work double the times you are working... Was not it so hard for you?

" Elijah asked making Valentina smile and Margaret and Jason looked at her as she smiled at him and Jason saw her eyes getting watery but she didn't let her guard down and let it fall down... She held them in her eyes and looked straight into Elijah's eyes.

"It was, Uncle Elijah...

" Valentina answered and Elijah smiled as he got down from his cycle and walked towards Valentina. He took her in a bear hug making her feel good and safe in his arms like a father figure. She took a deep breath and relaxed herself in his arms keeping her head on his shoulder and hugging him tightly. That hug told many things for Jason and Margaret. They both smiled seeing them hugging each other. Elijah caressed Valentina's hair and kissed her hair.

"You are such a strong girl, Valentina. Wish I had a daughter like you... To look after my empire... But unfortunately, I don't have one... But still, I am so proud of you. Looking at you making me feel like you are my daughter and you are one and you will always be one.

" Elijah said as he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her forehead making a tear falls down from Valentina's eyes that she was trying so hard to not let it down but seeing Elijah love, she couldn't control herself and again hugged him tightly burying her head in his chest.

"Wish... I had a father like you, Uncle Elijah... But unfortunately, I don't too... But you became my father figure... And are and will be forever my father figure. If only I would have met you earlier in my life... I would be so happy sharing my every little thing about my life with you...

" Valentina replied as another tear falls down from her eyes.

"It's not late though... We meet finally and you are already sharing with me everything... You are such a sweetheart... You will be always loved by me no matter what. Remember that. Okay?

" Elijah asked as he wiped the tears away from her eyes.

"Yes.

" Valentina answered with a smile.

"Good girl.

" Elijah replied making everyone smile.
