It was date night for Melissa and Jason and they had a blast at the restaurant chosen by Claire Graham, Melissa's mom.“Why'd your mom pick out a restaurant for us?” Jason asked Melissa as they held hands and walked out of the restaurant into the car.“I don't know, I guess she was just being nice and supportive. Who knows?” Melissa answered.“Your dad also called me to ask how the date went. Why do I feel really awkward about all these? Hope they're not planning something we're not ready for” Jason said as he walked over to his side of the car without opening the door for Melissa.Melissa was used to this as Jason never gave her princess treatment, only Ethan did. She opened the door for herself and got into the car as they started their journey home.“Babe, I really enjoyed tonight. Everything was perfect. The lights, the aesthetics and the food, oh my God the food! I loved it and the music was timely” Melissa gushed over the whole experience to Jason in the car, as she was filled w
The news channel was interrupted by “Breaking News”.Breaking News! The TV presenter was seated in his chair as the camera returned to the studio and he said, “Good morning and welcome back to BC news. My name is James Boulder and today I'll be bringing to you the breaking news of the day. The Graham's have made a huge announcement today, In a week's time, the only daughter of Eric and Claire Graham will be getting married to Jason Miller, the heir to Miller companies.He took a pause and turned around like there was someone around when he continued, “Wow! What a union. I had to check around to see if any other person was bewildered by this news, hahaha. In a historic…”Ethan switched off the TV while the broadcast was ongoing. He got up from his chair and paced around a bit. He walked to the nightstand by the bed and picked his phone that was on it and called Sarah.“Hello?”“Yeah, I'm fine. How're you?”“Alright, could you come to the restaurant we went to last time so we'll talk?”
Tony rushed down to Ethan's penthouse to know what the call was about.He walked into the building and hopped into the lift to reach the penthouse. “Good day sir” Tony echoed as he stood in the living room of the penthouse.“Tony! How're you?” Ethan asked as he got out of the room to sit in the living room with Tony.Tony bowed his head as he stood to watch Ethan sit. “Sit please” Ethan said, gesturing to the other sofa beside Tony.“Thank you, young Master” Tony said but received a death stare from Ethan who had warned him about calling him ‘young master’.“I'm sorry sir” he said, realizing his mistake.“So, how have things been for you sir?” Tony asked as he lowered himself onto the sofa. “Well, I've been good actually but I'm about to be better. How have you been?” Ethan said with a smirk.“I'm doing quite well sir. What do you mean sir, when you say you're about to be better? Would it have anything to do with your reason for summoning me?” Tony replied.“Well indeed Tony, indeed
“Is she sick or something?”“ Can't she tell he's broke? I mean look at the cheap clothes he's wearing.”The remarks were random from the sales reps gathering to watch Tyra attend to Ethan.Tyra walked up to Ethan and asked, "How may I be of help to you , Sir? Is there anything specific you're looking for? I could show you around and help you select something that fits your physique."He looked around and seemed to have a hard time determining what he wanted.The other sales rep took it as a sign that he was looking for what to steal and the fastest route to run away with it.“ You can't steal anything here and run away successfully,” one of the sales reps said to Ethan.“Steal? Who said I planned on stealing? I'm only here to buy clothes and I'll leave your precious space.“You obviously can't afford anything here so why are you distracting this young girl from attending to better clients?”Another sales rep asked.Ethan turned deaf ears to them and asked Tyra,”Tyra, is it?”“Yes it i
"Alright then, you have the floor. If you can pay for this suit, I'll drop it and apologize to you and leave with another suit."Ethan liked the sound of the idea, as he was finally going to humble Jason, "Fine then. Here's my card."Ethan turned to Tyra and handed his card over to her, so she could proceed to make payment.Tyra was happy that she was going to get her first commission, and a huge one at that. She swiped the card almost immediately she got the card.After she swiped the card, the huge grin on Tyra's face disappeared and color drained from her face.She looked up at Ethan, and he noticed the worry etched onto her features, "What's wrong?""Sir, your card has been declined." Tyra was disappointed.Jason and the other sales attendants burst into a fit of laughter."No. That can't be possible, try again." Ethan encouraged Tyra but she said,"Sir, I tried three times before I informed you that it had been declined." Tyra was getting angry because she had such high hopes for
"Oh my gosh, Mom!!!" Melissa ran from her room down the stairs in joy.When she got down the stairs she started twirling around, "Oh my gosh!!! Mom, you wouldn't guess what happened?"Claire's face lit up at Melissa's mood and she immediately asked, "What happened, darling?""THE ALESSANDRA JENSEN replied to my mail and he has agreed to design my wedding dress and other outfits for my wedding." Melissa announced.Claire stood up and hugged Melissa and they started dancing jazz hands.Harley, Claire's friend who came to visit Claire heard this and joined in their celebration."This is going to be the best wedding that has hit this city. Only the best for my baby. I'm glad you're finally getting what you deserve and not some measly peasant that was nothing but a burden on you and this family." Claire said, sitting down and smiling at Melissa."Your wedding is going to be the talk of town. Just wait." Harley added in delight as she joined Claire on the couch."He has even sent me some de
“The dress… the strap… it's not there anymore” Melissa's stylist stuttered as she gestured towards the strap in her hand.Melissa charged towards her stylist as she yelled, “What did you do to my dress on my day? You're supposed to be a stylist but all you've been is a destroyer. Put it back on!”“I can't. More like I don't know how to. The measurement we took for this isn't enough because you've gained weight and gotten fatter there. It's impossible for it to fit” The stylist replied with her head down and her hands jittered with the strap still in her hands.“Well, if you're useless what are you doing here? Get out and find me somebody useful” Melissa barked at the stylist as she left the room to cry in the hallway.Sarah heard the commotion coming from the room and she asked what the issue was when she was told, “There's an issue with the dress, and this only happened because we took the measurements for a tight fit and she got fatter after then”.There were whispers of different k
“Mom, how did you feel the day you married dad?” Jason asked his mother as they waited in the vestry.“Well, it felt like any other day to me because we were sure we wanted to be together. Did I have my fears? Yes! Did I feel unsure of my decision at the time? Yes. But when I walked into the church and saw your father's bright eyes and face smiling at me, I was sure he was the man I planned on spending my life with and we've done that since then till now”. Jason's mother said with a smile as she reminisced on that day.Jason rubbed his hands against each other and blew into them as he waited for Melissa. He heard footsteps coming towards the vestry when stood up to check who that was.Eric knocked on the vestry where Jason was and he opened up. “You're finally here. Where's Melissa? Is she here?” Jason asked eagerly.“Don't worry about all that. Yes, Melissa is here. She wouldn't leave you hanging on your wedding day. Try to be less tense, okay?” Eric tried to reassure Jason.“Did sh
