#Chapter 130: Too Many Scandals

Edrick

If I thought that Moana looked beautiful in her new dress the night before, then she looked even more stunning now dressed plainly in hiking clothes. I had never seen her dressed so casually before, and although I couldn’t quite put my finger on why I felt this way, I felt even more attracted to her when she was dressed like this. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that for a moment, as the three of us walked together and enjoyed nature away from the noise and the chaos of the city, it almost felt as though we were a normal little family that was simply out for a hike on a nice summer’s morning.

I had never told anyone this before, but I had never particularly enjoyed following in my father’s footsteps. I always knew that it was expected of me from a very young age, but I had secretly always envied other boys who didn’t have such high expectations. In college, as I watched my friends go on to follow their dreams and become artists or teachers or adventurers, I resented the fact that my path was set in stone that was laid down by someone else before me. I never even had a say in it; no matter how much I just wanted to play the piano and enjoy being young and free, I had no choice but to become the next WereCorp CEO.

And I got used to it, for the most part.

But ever since I met Moana, it was times like this that reminded me that I just wanted a quiet life. Sure, the money was nice, but I wanted to live here all of the time, not in the city; I only really lived there most of the time to be close to WereCorp. It was times like this, which were rare, when I realized just how much I hated being a CEO. And seeing Moana in jeans and a hoodie, with her curly red hair piled on top of her head and with Ella running ahead of us and collecting little rocks and things to line up on her windowsill, made me feel at peace. If only we didn’t have to go back and return to the city.

That spell was quickly broken, however, by the feeling of my phone vibrating. When I saw my father’s name on the screen, I almost considered declining the call… But I knew that it would only make things worse, and he was already too mad at me for everything. Even though it broke our peace, I knew that I needed to do some damage control.

I didn’t want Moana or Ella to overhear my conversation with my father and ruin our walk, so I quickly excused myself and walked off out of earshot before I answered.

“Hello?” I answered.
