Chapter 6
“Who are these ?” Dorothy asked pointing at the couple on the card.
“My parents” Calvin replied.
“What ! Charles Dennis is your father !” She exclaimed.
Who doesn’t know Charles Dennis in the whole of Australia and the world, he is the number one manufacturer of vehicles and machines, any type of machine.
“No no I can’t marry you Cal, your father can never accept me as his daughter-in-law” Dorothy pleaded.
“There is no going back on the contract, I have asked the waiter to give you another order of food. When you are done my driver will take you home” Calvin said and stood up.
“See you next week” he said and left the table.
Dorothy just sat there helpless “what kind of dessert do you want ma ?” the waiter asked placing her food on the table but She was not in the present. The waiter touched her and she came back.
“What type of dessert do you want ?” the waiter asked again.
“Chocolate ice cream, please can you park the dessert and the food for me ?” Dorothy asked.
“Yes ma” the waiter replied taking the food back to the kitchen to pack it.
When the food has been parked, Dorothy took it and came outside the restaurant. Just as he promised, a car was waiting for her outside. She entered it and it drove away, while Dorothy was still in the car Mia called her and told her to not to go to her house that she should come and sleep at hers. So Dorothy redirected the driver to Mia’s address.
The car dropped her at Mia’s house and she got out and it drove away.
She went to the door and wanted to knock but Mia opened the door and dragged her into the house. She took her bag and started ransacking it, she brought out the food and went and put it in the microwave.
She then came back to where Dorothy was and asked her “what did he want ?”.
“Well he wanted me to sign our marriage certificate and he also invited me to his family’s thanksgiving dinner, here is the invitation card” Dorothy said and gave Mia the invitation card.
“OH MY GOODNESS ! ” Mia exclaimed.
“You are the daughter-in-law of the richest man in Australia Doro !” she exclaimed again.
“Believe me when he gave me the card I was beyond surprised” Dorothy said.
“Wow you are really lucky Doro, I am so jealous” Mia said.
“Did you just said lucky ? doomed should have been the perfect word, although our marriage is contract I am pretty sure that his father wouldn’t want me near his son not to talk of being his wife” Dorothy said.
” I hate you when you downgrade yourself Doro, you are beautiful lady and you better get it in your thick skull” Mia said poking her head.
“Ouch ! stop !” Dorothy said.
“I won’t stop until you admit that you are beautiful” Mia said.
“OK I am beautiful !” Dorothy and Mia stopped poking her head.
“So you need a beautiful gown for the party” Mia said.
“What party ?” Dorothy asked.
“This party” Mia replied pointing at the place it was written on the card.
“Oh I didn’t see that, I thought it was only the thanksgiving dinner and nothing more” Dorothy said.
“Nope, there will be be party and you have to tell your husband to buy a gorgeous dress for you” Mia said.
“No never, I am not going to tell him that” Dorothy replied shaking her head.
“Why not his is rich and you are his wife and you need to look good on that day. Don’t worry let me show you the one you should demand for” Mia said and opened her phone and showed Dorothy a classic black gown.
Dorothy took the phone and looked closely at the cloth, she gave a loud gasp when she saw the price. “What is it ?” Mia asked.
“This dress cost one hundred thousand Australian dollar !” Dorothy exclaimed.
“That is not a big amount for someone like your husband” Mia said.
“You are unbelievable Mia, I will just wear one of my clothes and go to the party, no big deal” Dorothy said.
“OK” Mia replied.
“Please don’t you go and talk to him about this” Dorothy pleaded. “As if he would respond to me, beside I would be telling him his husband duties” Mia replied.
“Mia !” Dorothy shouted.
“OK I won’t talk to him” she replied.
“Are you hungry, your salad is in the kitchen”.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“No I am full” Dorothy replied.
Mia went and brought out the food she microwaved and started eating.
“I will be going to bed now, don’t finish the dessert I haven’t eaten it” Dorothy said.
“I will keep some for you foodie” Mia said stuffing her mouth with chicken wings. Dorothy went to the bedroom and laid down on the bed to sleep.
“Doro ! Doro ! wake up” Mia said trying to wake Dorothy.
“Let me go” she mumbled try to shift to the other side of the bed.
“Doro wake up Cal is here !” Mia shouted.
“What ! who is here ?” she asked all the sleep in her eyes vanished.
“Who did you say is here ?” she asked again.
“Calvin !” Mia shouted in her ear.
Dorothy thinking that Mia was bluffing went to the sitting room and lo and behold Calvin was sitting elegantly in Mia’s small couch.
“Why are you her……”
“Go and prepare for school we are going together” Calvin interrupted.
Dorothy went back to the bedroom and started preparing for school.
After thirty minutes both her and Mia were done so they came into the sitting room.
“Let’s go” Calvin said and headed to the door and they followed closely. Outside a black Porsche was waiting for them. Calvin went and opened the back door and went inside leaving the door open for Dorothy.
“So I won’t be going with you to school today” she said to Mia.
“No worrys, I will be fine” Mia replied.
“OK bye” Dorothy said and entered the car.
“Where is your friend going ?” Calvin asked Dorothy when she came into the car.
“She is going to school” she replied.
“Tell her to get in” Calvin ordered.
Dorothy made to call Mia through the opened car window but she had walked away so the car drove and met up with her and she entered the car.
