Thankfully Darcy had moistened her lips before coming or they would have raised their eyebrows. Darcy was walking behind Gale not wanting to create more distraction but when they reached the living room and turned around to face her. Darcy raised her head and looked at him in confusion but before she could ask him anything he had caught hold of her hand and turned towards their parents. Everyone was looking at them very curiously as they walked with their joined hands. “Uncle Olli, I have to ask for your official permission as both Darcy and I got engaged without informing any of you secretly and I don’t want to delay any further or hide it from you. But would you accept me as a part of your family?” Gale asked with sincerity. For a second everyone was dumbfounded as to what was Gale trying to say but once it seeped in Rachel was the first one to rush forward and hug her breathless. “I am so happy for both of you Darcy,” Rachael whispered.Everyone came forward and started kissi
Darcy stepped out of her house to attend the conference which was going to be held at the company, Gale's assistant John had already arrived to escort her as Gale had instructed him. Darcy had received his call early in the morning stating that there was some trouble in the company late at night as someone had entered the factory secretly and tried to sabotage it. Although the person had not been caught he escaped. Gale wanted to make a public announcement on his successful takeover of the company and his position as the CEO and warn people not to mess around with him. Darcy had to stand beside him and show her support for the takeover so that people may know him and not make trouble. There were certain loopholes in the company which Darcy was aware of and she didn’t want Gale to face any problems because of them. The hiring process was going on and some of the oldest people had already been hired and a lot of them had been chucked out as they had caused numerous problems after the
As if a switch had been thrown, she was swamped by memories, some hot and sensuous enough that her breasts tightened and her belly contracted, so hurtful enough that her temper roared to life. Gale's gaze burned over the seductive display of her cleavage. "Keep still," he growled. But she noticed he didn't move his hand. She was not enjoying it. After the announcement the last thing she needed was to be clamped against all that hot, hard muscle, making her feel small and wimpy and tragically easy. Unfortunately, her body wasn't in sync with her mind. She couldn't control the heat flushing her skin or the automatic tightening of her nipples, and Gale knew it. The doors slid open. Before she could protest, they were moving again, this time through the lower bowels of the hotel. A door was shoved open and they walked towards the parking area where several vehicles, including a Bentley, were parked. Darcy was annoyed with everything that happened; hot, clammy air flowed around her as
Alberto Romano was invited by the judges. He had a high standard of reception, and Darcy followed him. He was not worried about being unfamiliar with the place and people, so he did not have to check into a hotel personally. A long time ago, someone had already arranged a room for them, and the reception staff had helped them send their luggage back to their rooms. It was afternoon already but as both of them had had lunch on the flight they were not hungry so they decided to retire to their rooms to rest to get out of the jetlag and Alberto had to go to meet one of his fellow designers so he informed Darcy that he won’t be available in the evening but they would go to the venue together the next day. Once inside her room, Darcy contemplated whether she should inform Gale or not because as bossy as he is he would give her a piece of his mind so she decided to text him instead. After doing that she somehow felt relaxed. She wanted to go out. And look for her brother. But the competi
Darcy walked back to the hotel the driver who was an acquaintance of Mr Russo left at at the parking. Darcy was called away by the Aberto before he entered the room. She came to Alberto's room. Alberto Romano just came back from the judge's committee and told her about the competition process. In advance, Darcy had heard Alberto Romano’s talk about the general process of the competition. This time, there were a hundred top designers in the world taking part in the competition. Everyone came with their own participating works. Therefore, there was no pre-match, nor was there any promotion. It was the final. The judging vote of the judges would decide out of a hundred designers, twenty-five works of the designer which would be recognised globally. The organisers hold the opening ceremony of the competition to welcome and encourage the participants and to tell them that the order of each participant's work would be decided based on how the designer showcased his or her work. And als
After the screening, Darcy entered the big hall all alone as Alberto was still surrounded by his fan followers and he did have a job to do after the designer's outfits were aligned. The other designers either brought their assistants or teams with them. Only Darcy came in front of them, with no one and people wondered if she was a superwoman and wont she needed any help but Darcy was just keeping a low profile and did not want to attract anyone's attention. She knew what she was doing. The hall was already full and people sitting in the venue were increasing at great speed. Darcy found her seat according to her name and the other designers' assistants and teams sat on both sides. The seats in the middle were all occupied by the designers and their assistants were given the side rows which Darcy found a bit funny. After Darcy sat down, she had nothing to do. When the opening ceremony began, she was bored and began to play on her mobile phone. The people around didn't know her, and sh
"Wow, such an auspicious number.” Darcy teased while squinting at Amy Whiteman. She wasn’t the one to bait others but the woman was Amy Whiteman she couldn’t help herself. Darcy and Amy Whiteman had a feud with each other for so many reasons and it was not going to be resolved that easily as she was the main reason for the bankruptcy of Fletcher Industries. During the mini lunch party in the afternoon, Darcy saw that Amy Whiteman was trying to get along well with the designers from other countries and tried to avoid Darcy as much as she could but Darcy had a surprise waiting for her so she wasn’t bothered with her at all. She found a few people to talk to but eventually, she found it very boring and decided that the party was too dull for her taste. But thankfully at that moment Alberto came over and surprised her and asked gently, "Are you getting bored or ignoring people?" Darcy did not care much about whether anyone was paying much attention to her so was not bothered but she w
A dashing young man with his brooding glance all over his employees was sitting at the head of the table and interrogating them for the past five hours not even giving them a break. It was as if he was in the worst mood of the day and it wouldn’t get better. “Hurry up and tell me what solutions you have to increase the sales or you are not going home today,” Gale spoke with authority and everyone was shivering. John was looking at his boss who was being too harsh at his colleagues and wondered the reason for his boss’s angry demeanour. But if he is getting it right it must be Miss Fletcher because his name boss never behaved like that no matter what trouble came his way he had always been very polite and considerate to his employees. It seems Miss Darcy was the only one who could make his boss lose his temper. He heaved a sigh of relief when the meeting was over and noticed then that every individual sitting in the conference room was crossing their fingers so that the boss woul
