Seema: Stop talking shit about him, he’s a good boy.
Yeah, that’s what he is—a boy. His father, on the other hand, is all man… And so not right for me. Neither of them are, actually. Isaac is too impetuous; his father’s too controlled. Isaac’s too involved with his creative pursuit; his father’s too involved with his business. Both are workaholics, too. Once Isaac gets involved with a project, he tends to forget to eat and drink, let alone remember that he has a girlfriend. JJ? He seems equally absorbed with his company. Karen had taken great pleasure in telling me that his breakfast, lunch, and dinner meetings were all taken up so he didn’t have time for me—yes, I had tried to set up a time to meet him. And it’s not because I’ve missed him or anything. I just need to run an idea past him—something I thought of that would benefit his business. Only, the time slot I was given is for two weeks from now. Two weeks! Imagine that. It's bullshit, come to think of it.
My phone vibrates.
Josh: Lena?
Josh: Lena. Lena. Lena.
Josh: Lenaaaaaaa are you there?
I blow out a breath.
Me: I’m here
Mira: Heyyy! What’s the goss? You can’t leave us hanging like that
Seema: Is it to do with Isaac?
Me: Yes. No.
Clarie: Knew it. Are you breaking up with him? Not that he’s a bad sort or anything. I just wonder if he really appreciates you for who you are
Jeez my siblings really are more observant than I give them credit for.
Me: Nothing like that. We got evicted from our home.
Mira: Whaaat!
Seema: Are you joking?
Josh: No way Dinky
Mom: Oh my goodness, honey! Are you okay? Do you need money or anything?
Me: No, I’m good. We moved in with Isaac's father actually. Turns out Isaac has more money than I thought
Mira: Ooh, how old is his dad? Is he a dirty old man?
Umm, yes?
Me: No, of course not. He’s been very generous allowing us to stay under his roof for as long as we want. He’s also given me a job in his company
Seema: Holdonasec so his dad has his own company?
Me: Kane Enterprises.

Mira: You mean THE Kane Enterprises
Me: The media company, yes
Mira: STFU his father is the head of an international media organization?
Me: Yes?
