Episode 3

“Sir we are here.” The driver says as the car comes to a stop.

“Thank you Allius, just come back in thirty minutes. It shouldn't take long.”

“Yes sir.” After exiting the car the driver then drives off.

“Dad isn’t this a little too much for just lunch. We could’ve just gone to a cafe.”

“Mmm, I guess you’re right but I’ve already made reservations for us.”

Charlotte and her father walk into the high class restaurant, a waiter was waiting near the entrance for them. The waiter then guides them to their private room.

“What would you guys like to eat today?” He asks while setting down our plates.

“I would like the chicken confit with vierge sauce and the bouillabaisse for my daughter here please and thank you.” Charlotte’s father then hands him the menu. “Oh, can we get your finest wine as well.”

“Dad, that’s too much.”

“It’s fine. The wine is to congratulate you.”

The waiter nods, “of course sir. I’ll be right back with the wine and some appetizers.”

“Thank you,” he looks at the waiter’s name tag. “Jones.”

After the waiter heads out, Charlotte’s father looks at her and puts a file on the table.

“What’s this?” She asks, grabbing the file and opening it. “Marriage papers? Dad, what is this!”

“A partner of mine, his son, just turned twenty-eight and is soon taking over his father’s company. He has asked me to set up a marriage between you two before he takes over.”

“Dad, I am not getting married and why me?”

“Honey, if you two get married both companies will increase in profit. My friend’s son is a good young man. Please just agree to it.”

“Dad…” Charlotte’s mind was in shock. Marriage was the last thing on her mind. “Alright. Fine, I’ll marry him. You owe me in the future though.”

Her father smiles and hands her a pen, “I knew you wouldn’t let me down.”

She writes her name on all the papers within the file. She couldn’t believe she was doing this. All she could think about was her mother in this situation. She thought if her mother was still alive what would she have said. “Here.” She then gave the file back to her father and at the same time their dishes had arrived along with the wine.

After lunch, she then heads back to the company with her father.

“By the way, your fiancé will show up to the company to introduce himself.”

“So soon? I guess it’s fine. I don’t really have anything to do anyways.” She looks out the window of the car. Gazing at the view of the city.

“We’re here sir.”

“Thank you Allius, dad I’ll be leaving first.” Charlotte exits the car and walks into the building. She enters the elevator and presses the fifth button. When she arrives at her floor she walks to her office but before she reaches it Margaret stops her.

“Um, Miss Young, there was someone here for you earlier and I let them into your office.” She sounded nervous as If she was worried if she did the right thing or not.

Charlotte smiles, “thank you Margaret for letting them in.”

Charlotte’s smile lifted Margaret’s worries. Her eyes sparkled as she nodded and walked back to her desk.

Charlotte continues to walk to her office, she opens the door and is shocked by who she sees.
