Finding Love

Chapter 15

I was up earlier then I wished to be. My thoughts the same as the day before. I just felt so unsure of myself and my future and it was all Mr, Taylor's fault.

"You shouldn't look so sad I mean you have a wedding to look forward to." I was sulking in Margret's room trying to forget and helping her clean my shoes.

"I know."

"He will be Duke some day your mother must be over the moon"

"Yes and most likely counting down the days till the Duke dies. It is quite an unusual case is it not?"

"Yes but in the end you get the man of your dreams"

"I don't know to be honest yes I have feeling for Ezra very, very strong ones if I am admitting but that doesn't change the fact that I am using him to free myself of Mr. Taylor. I feel so awful. What if this isn't what he wanted and his brother is just pushing him into it. The Duke told me that we wanted us together but does Ezra?"

"I wouldn't know, but you could ask him."

"What?"

"Ask him. It seems simple to me if you have these questions why not just ask him. He is to be your husband so why not sit down with him and ask him what kind of marriage will this be and if you have any objections."

"I guess in words it does seem simple."

"In action too. You know where he lives and where he works."

"What do you mean?"

"There is somethings you can not hid from your hand-maid" she laughed "I found the mans clothing under your bed. I also would like to ask if I can wash them they smell a bit of beer."

"Oh my goodness Margret I am so embarrassed!" we laughed

"How long are you going to avoid your mother?"

"She is to much at the moment with all her planning and things."

"Yes well I am due for the kitchen soon so you might need to find yourself another place to hid."

"I guess I shall leave and go inquire Mr. Jones if everything is going fine with the shop."

After that I left Margret with her work and went and asked for the couch to be readied. After that I went to Mr. Jones office. I walked in fine even made small talk with Mr. Miller. Who was a lot nicer and apologized for his behavior the last time I was here.

"Miss Coves I was just about to send word for you."

"Hello Mr. Jones I just wanted to see how you were fairing with our new project."

"Of course. Please step into my office if you will." He held the door open and I walked into the office. "I wanted to let you know that I have gotten all the licences that are required. I have acquired signed contracts with Madam DuPont and with the Brothers at the shop. From now they are to sale to us first and then fill there store. I have also bought the store building. Which you now own so it this idea doesn't work you own the building and can rent it out if you would like. I have a handy man that is fixing it up and adding an extra room for Madam DuPont. I took her to the shop and asked if she would need anything. We agreed that she would need one more room for people to try on there clothing out of the way from other guest."

"May Mr. Jones you have gone above and beyond for my shop. I am truly grateful for all of your help."

"Please Miss Coves this is what I do It brings me great joy. Oh and Madam DuPont asked me to give this to you." He handed me a dress box. My new dress.
