Chapter 111: Chapter 111

The meeting is held at the ancestral mansion of the Harold's, it's a very big place. It's probably more than twenty acres of land, with trees and spacious garden.

It looking totally different from the one, she had visited when she was much younger, so many renovation had taken place, making it more modernize.

Whoa! The Harold's had really done a great job with improving the old facility with new ones, but it's still look creeping.

Shirley!

Come on dad, I am sure uncle Harold must be really lonely here, since Aunt Jie Li left and Dante doesn't live here anymore. Can't you imagine how lonely it will be without a family.

I too live a lonely life when you left.

Come on dad, I know my nanny May, took good care of you, right nanny May?

Silly, you should stop teasing your dad and let's focus on why we are here.

Sure, to meet my prince charming. Shirley smiled broad, as they make their way into the main building.

Alot of maid where moving around while two butler welcome them in, Shirley feel so special, it's like walking into a wedding ceremony, where she is the bride and Jayden was smiling wholeheartedly at her at the end of the row, her heart would had be more cheerful, if that smile was from Dante but anyways, after this day, she is sure everything will go back to normal, she and Dante will definitely have an happy ending.

Harold and his kids Walk towards them to welcome them.

"Welcome Clyde and May" Harold greeted them with a kiss on the cheek of both of them, he like to refers to Nanny May, as just May, he didn't see any need of add nanny to her name, they were like family and he see her as Shirley's mother not Nanny. Then the three beside him greeted them as well.

Oh daughter! You've grown so mature and beautiful. Harold smile at her, she too smile at him. Come on kids, don't just stand like you don't missed your friend. Harold urge them

Hey Shirley, we meet after years. Jayden pulled her into a hug, he is not Dante, Dante is not ready to do any of that, she smile at Jayden, then tap his back.

I missed you and while are hugging me, when you haven't hug your wife. Jayden fall his face in embarrassment, back then he will say, he is going to get married to Nanny May, when he grow up because nanny May, always cares for him and he loves food.

Shirley! He called in frustration, nanny May smiled.

Oh come here son, you look all grown, you should introduce my younger mate to me.

Everyone laughed as Jayden give her a cheek to cheek peck.

Dante son! How are you? Mr Clyde asked, he give him a faint smile.

Fine sir!

Oh! The young man still doesn't know how to smile. Another round of laughter goes on with Clyde's words, Mr Harold introduce his niece to the family, she is the only one that the Clyde's are not familiar with.

How are you Dante? Shirley asked, he nodded. Aren't you happy to see me?

Why? Is there anything special about your present?

Jayden shock on Dante's words, Shirley face go sour, she can't believe those words coming out of Dante's mouth, Mr Clyde look confused and Mr Harold shakes his head inwardly, his son is not going to act foolish again.

"Come on, let's head to the dinning, I am sure, we can do whatever talking after that, I'm really hungry" Mr Harold interrupt the awkwardness.

When everyone seat at the dinning, Shirley takes her space beside Dante, when the meal goes on, she was expecting Dante to put food on her plate but he didn't, that was how he used to care for her.

Here, you should eat this. Shirley try to feed him.

Come Shirley, I could feed myself, we are no longer kids, I really hate when people do things for me, it make be look like a liability and you know, I really don't enjoy those stuff, it's really irritating. Thanks anyways, I can do this. He apologized after blurting out rubbish from his mouth.

Shirley sighed inwardly, Dante is trying to tell her that, he is no longer interested in her, if she had planned of forcing her dad to create an arranged marriage with him, she should stop it because he is not interested in her.

For once, Clyde eyes didn't leave Dante, he admired the young man under his scrutiny eyes, he is handsome, intelligent and respectable only for the scandal he had of been gay, maybe they are all wrong, he might want to focus on his career and stay away from female, woman are trouble.

After the silent meal they made their way back to the living room, Dante keep staring at the time, if it was to be someone else he would had leave the meeting but not his uncle Clyde, the man is his godfather, he trusted and believe in Dante, he is like a second father to him, he is never going to do anything that will annoyed him and the man already have heart problem.

I will go straight to the point, what this meeting is all about... Mr Clyde keep explaining everything about the business to Dante who is now in charge of the company, although he is the vice chairman, he had left most of the work for Dante and now, he think he could assist him with his daughter back.

"Since I planned on giving my position to my daughter, and relief Dante a bit from the stress I had made him go through, for all my absence, I still think my daughter lack alot of experience and things about the group, I hope Dante will assist her and help her familiarize herself with the business. Dante spit the tea out of his mouth.

Son are you okay?

I am fine, perfectly fine. He compose himself, Jayden look at him, as he run his hand on his neck in frustration.

My friend, that is a good decision, I am sure my son doesn't mind, he will be glad to help your daughter with it, probably we could make be from been just friends to in-laws.

Dante cough again, Jayden felt sorry for him. Sally shook his head.

Come on uncle, you should let big bro decided, he is here, just let him speak for himself, remember you shouldn't meddle in the business. Jayden comments, he need to help Dante, he had given the opportunity to Dante, yet the man is quiet. He doesn't want to disappoint his godfather.

Son, what do you think? Or we should hired an expert to train my daughter, since I know you will be very busy with running the company and the production process all those will be really stressful, right Dante? Mr Clyde asked, watching the young man in dilemma

It's fine by me, I could train her but she will be under the watch of Sally most of the time, which means she could asked me for anything that is beyond her and Sally since I am still training the COO, Barbara still haven't settled in the company.

Shirley face is like a dark cloud now, Barbara is working at the company? She asked herself, Jayden could read her expression, he knows that, Shirley is cunning, she will not just show up, if she had no idea of another woman in Dante's life and he is totally aware that, the previous night will not go unaware to the almighty Shirley Clyde.
