I smiled to myself, remembering Christian and that fateful morning I brewed the tea for the first time.
“It tastes very nice.”
“Thank you, ma’am.” I appreciated gently sipping from the ornamented tea cup.
It was indeed nice.
When I thought I had been welcomed enough, I asked her the real intention of inviting me over.
“Allison mentioned that you now work for Christian as his assistant…”
“Yes, ma’am,”
“I decided you’d be of good help since you used to be inseparable from both Allison and Christian.”
Where exactly was this woman heading to?
She cleared her throat, slightly altering her countenance to make her seem more serious.
“I need you to speak to Christian; I need you to convince him to take back Aurora,” she eventually said.
My heart sank.
So I had come from Laketown to this countryside to be requested of such a diminishing favor?
This woman was totally incredible!
“I can’t possibly do that,” I refused.
He didn’t even love Aurora!
“Melissa, I don’t think it is right to manipulate your own son like this,” I stated firmly.
“Even if I think it is what is best for him?” She frowned.
“He is an adult, and he can make his own decisions.”
“But he’s making the wrong ones! This decision is both healthy for him and the company!” She exclaimed.
“The company?” I scoffed.
“Ye-yes,” she sheepishly stuttered.
It was obvious she was doing all of these for the company and the company alone. She apparently was not putting her son’s feelings into consideration.
“Why act stubborn? Just do what I say!” She cried.
“ But-”
“If you could just talk to him, I know you could make him see reason. He must know that his marriage to Aurora is critical to the company.”
Marriage?
I was beginning to get irritated.
“I am not comfortable with it. If you truly care about Christian, you won’t try to control his feelings, let alone his decisions. Since we are talking about Aurora, you should know better.” I confidently said, preparing to take my leave.
Melissa looked frustrated.
