The Secret Heir Of Slytherin Empire

11. Are you married

Oscar woke up, still assuming that he was at home and not the Slytherin mansion. He couldn't recognise where he was for a few seconds, before it finally occurred to him that he had spent the night at the Slytherin mansion.

He sighed and got off the bed immediately. He stared at his phone to check the time, and it was past seven a.m. and also read the response to the voicemail he sent to Karen last night.

Karen had asked for a few documents to file for the divorce, and he proceeded to send all soft copies to her before walking into the bathroom to freshen up.

This has been his daily routine for the past three years since he started working for the company that fired him. He saw three new toothbrushes and cleaned his teeth with one of them before proceeding to take a bath.

He had only just gotten out of the bathroom when he heard a knock on the door.

"I'm coming," He said, and forgetting that he had nothing but a towel around his waist, Oscar unlocked the door to let in a maid who brought breakfast to him in a tray.

She walked in and, and almost gasped.

"I'm so sorry sir, I had no idea you were dressing up," she apologized and was about to walk out of the room to let him finish, but Oscar called her back.

"No no no," He said,

"Don't worry about it, you can place the food on the table." He added and the maid did as he had said.

She kept her gaze on the floor the whole time to avoid looking at him, and once she had kept it on the side table, she quickly walked out of the room.

"Hmm," He mumbled upon seeing how uncomfortable he had made the poor maid, but shrugged it off. Besides, these same ladies would drool over shirtless men on the Internet, but act innocent when they see one in real life.

Just as she left, Leo came in less than a minute later, with a bunch of clothes in his right hand. Each one was a complete set of suits, different colours and from different designers.

It seems as though they had just come from the factory because they were still in a transparent leather seal and hangers.

"Good morning sir," Leo greeted him with a smile. And proceeded to arrange the suits in the wardrobe.

"Good morning Leo," Oscar replied,

"I was waiting for you."

"I'm sorry, I should have given my number to you sir, the clothes have just arrived, but I brought these for you to choose from. You have to be at the office soon, some people want to meet you.

"Okay, no problem," Oscar replied.

"I went through these documents last night. The instructions are very simple."

"Oh, it's a good thing that you have read it, please have your breakfast, we must leave in a few minutes."

"Where is Mrs Amy Slytherin?" He asked.

"Your mother, sir," Leo uttered.

"Yes... my...mother," Oscar nodded in agreement.

"She is getting ready as well, but she won't be coming with us. She said she'll come to see you before you leave today." Leo explained as he hung the last suit in the wardrobe.

"Okay, thanks."

Leo went out of the room immediately to get ready, while Oscar proceeded to get dressed and have his breakfast. He was still eating when Amy knocked, and upon hearing her voice from the other side of the door, Oscar asked her to come in.

"Good morning, Mrs..." He paused when he saw the frown on her face.

"I'm sorry," He smiled,

"Good morning, Mom," He corrected himself, and Amy smiled before closing the door.

"How are you?" She asked him.

"I'm fine, thank you, " he replied,

"I'm just trying to get used to all of this, it all happened too fast."

"I know," she cut him off,

"Don't worry, after the meeting with these companies tomorrow, I'll take my time to explain some things to you. I'm glad you are back home though, now no one will try to fight me for your father's company, at least until we find him."

"What happened to him, though?" Oscar asked. He knew that Aston Slytherin went missing two months ago, but he couldn't understand how that happened.

"Fred, even I don't know what happened. He went out and never came back, just like the day he went out with you, and came back empty-handed. But I don't want us to talk about that now," she said and tried to keep a smile.

"Now, the people that you are about to meet are the company representatives from different states across west Arcadia and even outside the country. As the new CEO, we want to introduce you to them, but you won't host the meeting, don't worry, we have an ambassador. Just listen to all they have to say."

"Okay," Oscar nodded.

"One more thing," she continued,

"Refrain from talking about your past life, or how we found you, I plan to keep you away from public view as much as possible, I have my reasons."

"Okay, I will keep that in mind," Oscar promised her with a smile. It's such a coincidence because even he wanted to keep this information from the public.

"Good," she uttered and adjusted his necktie.

"I will come to the office later, I just need to handle some things at home before coming." She finished adjusting his tie to her taste before kissing him on the cheek.

"Good luck," she added.

"Thanks," Oscar replied.

He watched as she headed for the door, and a smile crept upon his face."This lady is convinced that I am her son, without an iota of doubt," He thought to himself.

"By the way, " Amy paused as she reached for the doorknob.

"I forgot to ask... you probably didn't want to mention it yet because you are not sure about your stay here, but hmm... are you married?"
