Roxette sat smoking restlessly.She couldn't find Harry anywhere.She looked at her watch and sat jotting down notes of the impending board
meeting .
Mr Tiphany watched as she moved about impatiently.
" Meet me now." he found the note scrawled lying close to her desk .She
was his only child and whatever he did to make her happy now seemed futile.Nothing would appease her.
" Darling let's have lunch together," he said.
" Dad I have something on my mind
maybe tomorrow." she replied.
"I insist ,for what I have to say will make you happy if not delighted."he answered.
"Well it better be good," she replied tersely.
As they began eating lunch at The Grand hotel  Mr Tiphany began to realise that it was about time to handover the business to his daughter.
" Roxy my dear, I need you to visit Tokyo as one of our clients there have invited us to celebrate their cultural fest," he said at length.
" Why you can send Danny Smith your manager," she said enjoying her meal of escargot.
" But Danny has to make plans for The Annual Tiphany cup to be held next week." He said demurely.
"  I shall leave tomorrow," she answered.
Mr Tiphany was greatly relieved.He planned to introduce her to a new gentleman during the golfing event.He had sent out invitations after making enquiries of well groomed men in high places.This would provide a meeting ground for
young men and Roxette.He hadn't disclosed his plans to her and got Danny to make necessary arrangements after they had accepted the invitations.Roxette was going to be one of the judges and he hoped that he had laid grounds for a suitable
match for Roxette.He became embroiled in his daily routine forgetting that Roxette was lonely and needed a suitable life partner.Terence had been a total disaster.He had betrayed her trust.
