Chapter 110: Chapter 110

Shirley have a terrible night, she keeps having so many nightmare about Dante and Barbara, all her dreams were filled with her absurd thought about the things, the two of them might be doing, behind close door.

Fuck! She cursed and sighed badly. Clyde look at his daughter who is looking terrible.

Hey daughters, what is the issue? Clyde asked her, she move her gaze to him.

I am fine, just a bit stress. She grabbed her cutleries and start eating, her nanny look at her, she had been the one caring for her since she lost her mother.

If you say so. Clyde go mute then look at her nanny, signalling her to talk to this naughty daughter of his, the man drop his cutleries, when nanny May shakes her head. Baby! He called again.

Father what is it? Shirley has always been Pampered by Mr Clyde that she felt everything and everyone, should worship her and she should always get what she wanted.

Hey relax, I have given a thought on your proposal to join the company, so we are paying Dante and his family a visit later today, his dad will be there, so he has to brief us on the company.

Apart from that, is there anything else? Clyde look at her, in confusion, then move his gaze to her Nanny and Josh who is sitting at the other side of the table. Come on dad, I thought you said you will talk about our marriage, like an arranged marriage. Clyde spit out the water in his mouth

Sorry dad! You should be careful.

Careful? Clyde asked. If you want me to be careful, you should not say things that will put me in shock.

Father, what is there, I only want to be engaged to Dante, he is the man I love. Josh look at Shirley, sometimes he wonder if Shirley is alright, after leaving the poor boy in nowhere and heartbroken how did she expects him to open his hand wide for her to enter, take her back with a warm embrace. The Dante, he saw last night will never accept Shirley, the man is in love with another

Shirley, you should stop it, there are alot of eligible bachelor in the city, let's pick one from them, Dante is a gay, you don't want to bring disgrace to the family, didn't you watch the news of his scandal.

Father, he is not gay.

How do you know? Shirley pinned her lips together, she can't tell her father that, the two were once in a romantic relationship, when they were much younger, they have done a lot of intimacy together even intercourse.

Father, he is my friend before now, so I know everything about him.

Fine, I will talk about that, but you should prepare your mind for the worse, he might not like this whole thing called arranged marriage, you should know, his dad had try to matchmake him with most business associate daughter but it all ended up in ruin.

Mine is different, he can't resist me. Mr. Clyde look at his daughter that had gone back to her food all cheerful, he really hope that, things turn up well, Shirley is a very attractive woman, with all the curves in the right place, she is intelligent and from the elite family, she probably might be right, just maybe Dante can't refused her.

****

Josh, come over here, you should pick a really good wears for me, Josh was adopted by her father few years after he became and orphan and he had been a responsible and reliable person, so Mr Clyde didn't think twice to assign him to Shirley, he felt Josh is the right person to protect his daughter, he had also hope that, the two will one day fall in love.

Clyde is not the type that discriminate, he believes all men are equally if you are you responsible. Yet his daughter choice is different from his, she wanted Dante, same man, she left years back and never for once contacted, what an irony? Was she expecting him to jumped at her existence, far from it, never, his heart is remove from her.

Shirley, come over here. Josh called, then tap a space beside him, she move reluctantly to him.

What is it? We should hurry, I still have to have my make-up done and hair should be tie in the way he likes it.

Are you really in love with him? Shirley stare at Josh, not for ones, as he asked her about her personal life, he always respect whatever decision she make and now, he is doing that.

I thought you said, you are not going to meddle in my choice of man?

I did said that, but Dante is not...

Stop it Josh, now go on and pick what you think, will look good on me and you should plan my wardrobe, starting from tomorrow, I will start working at Dante's company, I can't wait to see him every second.

You should wear this and this, this shoes goes well with the gown and your purse.

Whoa! I know I could always count on you. Shirley peck him and run into the washroom, Josh sighed inwardly.

Don't sit there, you should go dress up, you are coming with me.

I don't think it's necessary, I will skip this.

Fine then, I could always introduce you two some other time. Josh didn't reply her, for the longest time, the man had always been in love with Shirley, he wanted her, he love her not just as a sister but as a woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with but no, Dante is the one, in the heart of the woman he love and cherish and he is just too afraid that, Mr Clyde might not want to give his daughter hand in marriage to an orphan like him.

****

Dante sighed several times, sitting at the couch with his dad eyes focus on him, he knows Shirley that young woman is cunning, they have been together like ages, he knows how her mind work, Shirley is going to asked that they get engaged.

Li Jun, you stop acting like you are on a death roll? Jayden called him that, similarly mean he wants him to loosen up.

Of cause it is. Sally eyes bulge out.

Son, you two used to be friends, I remember you sneak out of the house just to be with her and I remember your mom had caught you peeking on her when she was dressing up.

Sally spit the water from her water.

Stop it dad, I wasn't peeking on her, she asked me to watch if anyone was coming.

It's same thing, peeking and watching. Harold is a great teaser when it comes to bantering, Dante sighed inwardly watching as Jayden and Sally laughed at him. If it's left for Mr Harold, he would had voted for Shirley, he always wanted his son to end up with Shirley and his mother two, love Shirley for him but with the situation at hand, he can only nominate her but the choice of picking a bride will always be his.
