My eyes filled with tears. I was about to be fired. I knew it.As much as I wanted the cry, I kept the poker face. I had to be strong...But I knew what was coming."I won't fire you, okay? At least for now... Don't get me wrong, I am very disappointed, and under normal circumstances you'd be fired...But we're all here thanks to you and your lessons with Amelia. And I really do appreciate your input and how you've treated my daughter.What we have a lot to lose, And William often acts recklessly." he said
"I don't understand... You agreed to keep up the act after William confessed to you!"I said
"Oh, You know about that?It was because I wanted to give William more time to get along with the Delaney's. He was around you all the time, wasn't he? But if he took a step back, he'd Realize how convenient that agreement was." he said
"So you..."
"I proposed to Mr Delaney to bring Rosalie with him.And I wanted them to try being together.As soon as he spent more time with Rosalie, He would realize they are a perfect match." he said
First Rosalie, Now Mr Mondelli. Why do they all think it's a good match? It made me...Sad, I knew I was poor, and I wasn't not in their league at all...But it didn't matter that much?
"You don't know how important the family and business are for William and me.I don't want you to play with my son and put our reputation at risk."He said
"Playing?" i asked
"William had many flings before.They were never serious, And I don't think this time is any different. Isn't it all game for you? Because Stakes are high here, Miss Poarch. And I do see how Rosalie cares about William. She's crazy about him. She'll be a good, loyal wife.And for you, it's all fun and games, isn't it?A little distraction between the lessons with Amelia." he said
*He thinks it's just a game for me, and it isn't true! I have to prove that I can take William seriously and change Mr. Mondelli mind!*
"I love your son. I can't believe you could really think I do it for money, Or to play with him! We tried to stay separate, but It's impossible. William is the best man I've ever met. I've never been so drawn to anyone, Mr Mondelli. I just wish I could tell the world about it and stop hiding." i answered
"Wow,I didn't expect you to really say that. You really care about him, do you?I'm so sorry to accuse you like that.Still, The situation is more serious and you two think." he said
"We know what the situation is. It's been hard for both of us. But we're both adults and William can decide what's best for him.He deserves to be with the person he loves. And if you don't understand. Sooner or later you'll lose him." i said
"You're right.I'm glad William has someone like, Caitlyn." he said
*That went well*
"But I still don't know what to do. The situation is... complicated. Now, excuse me...I'll talk to Cecilia, I think I need to tell her about the engagement..." he said
*Will Mr Mondelli really set things straight? At least one thing is sorted out. What if he's right? What if Rosalie loves William so much so she'll never let him go? ugh, I wish things were similar... Where's the bathroom? *
"He was a bit angry, But it's even better. He left."Rosalie said
*Is that Rosalie?*
"Yes, I already have it ready. The editor was quick. I'm trying, mum! It just takes time.This plan is so hard to do!We tried to get closer, But it didn't work out!William had his eyes on her for the whole evening...Just like he did before." she said
