As Darcy returned home she was walking very fast because of which she was breathing very very fast. It's been a long time since she had an exercise. She felt bitter and sore for a lot many reasons. She was still thinking about the way Shelley had explained about the new owner who had bought her grandfather's house. And was astonished.Indeed, she had never met him because his assistant and her lawyer had managed all the dealings. But could it be that he was the one who came to buy her company? But why hadn't he told her straight away that it was him? Why did he hide his identity? She would eventually meet him again to finalize the deal. So why would he let her think that he was someone else? It was inevitable in a small place as Michigan not to notice him. One way or the other she would have encountered him. He must be laughing at her for the way she had blotted out so many things about him. she was fuming with anger when she walked inside and saw her father sipping and enjoying his
Darcy was feeling bad now, she never expected that she would blurt out everything in front of her father. “I don't know dad, I somehow can't say anything good about him because I feel that everything we have is being taken away by him. I know it's wrong because in a way he's helping us but I feel so helpless that I can't do anything.” Darcy spoke very softly. Oliver looked at her daughter helplessly and said. Darcy my darling you need to stop reading the news about him on the internet. Sometimes what we see things is not like that and can't you see the reality, he is not taking something away from you, you are giving it to him willingly because you need his help. Stop blaming him and accept the fact that he is bringing financial help to the economy of Michigan. You should be happy that all our employees will be employed by him and they wouldn't have to go out of the city to hunt for jobs.” Darcy looked at him with sadness and said. “Dad I know, just give me some time. I think I will
With the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived, and on Sunday, early in the morning after Darcy finished her yoga she came and joined her dad who was sitting on the lawn and enjoying his morning tea.“Good morning Dad,” She said lovingly. “Good morning darling I hope you slept well today you look quite refreshed.” Oliver complimented her. “Yes I did after a long time and you won't believe I finished ten drafts overnight I hope they like my design I will be sending it officially today to mark my entry into the competition.” Oliver Fletcher smiled and said. "I am proud of you it doesn't matter whether you win or not the only thing that matters is your participation and the people you will meet there. You can gain a lot of recognition worldwide. You have already won so many awards back then Darcy, now you just need to polish it more, And oh, by the way, while you are in Paris why don't you go and meet your friend Natalia, it's been a long time since you people have met, take a holiday w
“But I can always call up Mother and tell her not to prepare so chill,” Gale suggested. "ha ha ha ha ha.." Oliver Fletcher started laughing looking at the conversation between the father and son. “Your son is a fine young man," he said praising him genuinely. “Don't flatter him too much he is the worst one around, very bossy.” Norman Harris commented. “Dad,” Gale said helplessly. "But what I said is true Normie, he saved me from the financial difficulties that I was in and whatever I say or do to thank him will never compensate for his contribution, he also brought a lot many jobs for the people here. You should be proud of him." Oliver Fletcher said with gratitude. “Yes, I am proud of him Oli but he can be a pain in the ass sometimes, and hey let us talk about us now. enough about him." Norman Harris said unhappily. Gail looked at his father helplessly. “ Uncle Oli, that's alright, please don't be so formal as we are family, and anyways I had my selfish motives as well when I
It was some considerable time before she could bring herself to return outside to join her father and Uncle Normie and as she walked she noticed that Gail had already left.“Ah, there you are my child.” Norman Harris said as soon as Darcy approached them. "Gale got a call from his office and left in a hurry." He informed her answering the question she was about to ask. “Honey, are you alright? Gale said your stomach is upset.” Oliver Fletcher asked with concern.Darcy noticed that all kinds of delicacies were laid on the table and for a change his dad was enjoying his breakfast without any fuss and it was all thanks to his friend Norman Harris.Darcy’s stomach was rumbling with hunger but she ignored it and cursed Gale for lying for her. She smiled and said. “It’s good Dad it’s just the usual gastric problem.” “You should eat on time young lady or you will fall sick. Come on now eat something light and fill in your stomach.” Norman Harris said politely. “It’s a pity that you won’t
Darcy was spending her days restlessly as she had to juggle in between the office and home. There was plenty to work on with her designs so she kept herself busy. The day she went and accepted his offer two weeks ago, she had made it clear to him that she would work half a day as she needed to be home to take care of her father. Although Gale had not said anything and accepted her decision, Darcy couldn’t help but notice that he was very amused with her decision but she was in no mood to argue with him so she had left and made sure to distance herself from him as much as she could and thankfully it worked as Gale would fly to and fro looking after his company in Ireland as well as in Michigan. So Darcy had to report to his assistant John Davis and she since liked him a lot more than Gale Harris, she felt comfortable working with him.She had returned home after the meeting and was about to start her work when the housekeeper came and informed her that Shelly Baker and Melvin Baker had
Shelly got up all of a sudden and looked at Darcy. “Darcy’s I have to head back home, I have to give the instructions to the cook for the evening meal. You and Melvin can continue chatting. I will walk back as it's still bright outside.” Shelly winked at her brother and was about to leave but she remembered something and so she turned and said. “Darcy, as you know it’s my birthday this Saturday, I am throwing a party at the Clintons, and you are invited.” And Darcy could feel by her tone that she was commanding her but she merely nodded her head as she watched her walk out of the house. Then she fixed her gaze on Melvin, who was smiling at her with amusement. ”You know if you are not comfortable, you could always decline her invitation. No one is forcing you.” But deep down inside he was hoping she would come. “Who said I don’t want to come, it’s just that I need to check my schedule.” Darcy refuted back. “Alright, alright, I am happy that you are coming,” Melvin said happily. “
Darcy was very reluctant to go to Shelly’s birthday as she knew that it meant she would have to drink with them and she was very bad at drinking and on top of that Gail Harris will also be coming with his family as Shelly had invited them. And since its been a long time she had gone out she decided to go and have fun. She wore the beautiful dark figure-hugging dress which had a low cut on the back and it made her look sophisticated. She had bought the dress on one of her trips to Paris the year he had won the completion but never got the chance to wear it. She paired her dress with high heels and left her hair lose as she had natural straight hair. She drove her car to the Clintons’. Although Clinton’s was a reputed club it only entertained elite class people. Darcy had been there a few times with Melvin and her brother Louis and when they were financially stable but it’s been a long time since she had been there. As soon as she parked her car and went to the entrance she saw M
