Mr. And Mrs. DeRose

Authors note: Yall this convo is in French I'm just too lazy to convert it. Enjoy!

AMBRE:

"Wow! I most definitely was not expecting to see you!" I exclaimed the old man smiled kindly at me. "Well, then I guess it was fate. So let's get right to what I'm looking for. Firstly I know you are a kind soulful person. Check" The old man marks something on a paper and looked back up at me. "Well, Ms. Dupont do you have any degrees any graduation diplomas?" He asked looking back down on his paper. Ugh crap. "Well actually sir today was supposed to be the final exam, I was set to graduate by the end of this week but you know things happened and I missed the test so I have to take it next year." He looked up at me sharply.

"Ms. Dupont it seems I made you miss your exams and here you are sitting before me with a smile. Incredulous. I would be so angry with myself. Even if helping them had made their day." He looks up when the door to his office opens. an adoring smile made its way onto his face. I turn to look as well, it was his wife. With a steaming bowl of something that smelled delicious. She gasped when she saw me. "Dear, what are you doing here?" She walked over and placed the bowl in front of her husband and placed a spoon in his hand. Chicken soup. I smiled at her." Fate, I guess." She laughed a chiming laugh and went to sit at the chair next to her husband.

"Léo here is very fond of you. He had only known you for some hours but he spoke of only kind things!" So that was his name Léo. Léo DeRose. Sweet. "I really appreciate that! Both of you." I answered earnestly. Leo looked up from his food and to his wife. She nodded. They were talking without talking! their love must have been stronger than the hardest thing in the world. It was quite refreshing.  Leo looked back at me and sat up.

" Ms. Dupont-" I don't let him finish. " You know you guys can call me Ambre!" He nodded and went on with his sentence. " We were thinking that- brace yourself. We hand you our business? We just trust you. Your very institutes and caring. We adore that." I looked at them in shock. " Well, not the one in France. How about the one in America! You speak English right! Everything will be great. You don't have to worry about anything too much. Just say yes." His wife clasped her hands together in front of her as if pleading!

What! I came for a job...Not a company. I was stuck. It was getting hard to think. I thought of an awesome pro but then it got shot down with a con. Pro: The money. Con: I'm uprooting the lives of my siblings. My face must have been an emotional slide. grateful then scared. Happy then anxious. Leo seemed to realize that I was having an internal conflict with myself. If I said yes to this our lives would become so much better be would be richer. I could provide my siblings with whatever they needed.

Léo then stood up before me. The smile on his face was pleasing, kind. "So Ms. Dupont- or should I call you Ambre? what do you say? You in or you out?" I stood speechless. Disbelief coursing through my veins. "Um," I pondered. I needed an answer and quick. What would Anais say if I turned this down. She'd probably stop speaking with me. And so then my mind was made up. I looked up at Léo and his wife. I stood up as well and held out my hand. " Yes, yes, yes!" I squealed excitedly. Léo and his wife smile happily at me each holding out their hand for me to shake.

Mrs. DeRose hands me a paper. " Don't worry about the section talking about degrees we know why we chose you. Or rather fate did!"

Time-Lapse: 10 mins

I was done filling the paper within ten minutes. " So we have to go to America. The U.S?" I asked a little more anxious now. Léo answers my questions. "Don't worry Ambre, dear you have between this week and the end of next week to get together who and what you want. All the expenses and costs will be on us. I just need you to be the head and stand in place for me there. Much of our revenue comes from them but I can't stay there because my heart loves France and I get sad when I stay away too long. It makes my health deteriorate." I nodded as Léo spoke on. "Well, I have been chattering your ear off. Shall I accompany you to your car?" I become a little embarrassed about my car situation.

" Um well, Léo my car was towed today because I was in such a hurry to make it to the test." Léo automatically looks disappointed. " Well, Amelie and I keep a spare car that we hand to our Employees when they do business so we can lend it to you. We just need it back before you go to America." What! Some people are so rich they can just lend others their car? " I really don't want to take your car and take advantage of you." Léo made a playfully scowl. " Ambre dear don't worry your pretty little head about that. Just please take the help because if you would have ignored me then I would have been seriously injured."

I nodded and took the keys from his hand. The car was beautiful. It didn't look like an errand car to me. It was a fucking Ferrari!

Ambre's ride loan:

I gasped and started to do a little dance. Forgetting that the car wouldn't be actually mine. Well, it kind of was until the end of next week. Now I would make it home in time to make the girls their favorite food. Spicy spaghetti! I kissed Léo on the cheek which I could tell took him b surprise because his eyes widened and a small smile made its way onto his face. I hopped in and waved at him as I pulled out of the parking lot. This is going to be great. There were so many buttons I was scared to touch anything. Better I didn't anyway. It wasn't to mine for keeps.
