Caroline ( POV )
" Madam, our visitor is here. " said Safina our househelp. She always reminds me about philip, wonder what he is doing right now. I hope Elizabeth has faith in me.
" I didn't know we were expecting visitors. " said my mother. " Just one... Sister of my friend. She came to stay a few days.... Hope that's alright? " I asked her, cause it's not my house.
" Its totally fine dear, you need friends to make you cheerful... Go don't keep the guests waiting. " said my mother. I nodded and came straight in the main hall. There sitting on the sofa was a young innocent girl.
Someone whose eyes are soo inocent, she has apple red cheeks and a adorable face. But sadly I will not be showing her my good side now. For a unruly teenager like her, we need rules.
But looking her sitting here gave me the satisfication of knowing that Elizabeth truts me. She hasn't informed lydia about anything. She even stopped her parents from bringing the sisters back from their education centers.
And thats why she is here. I hope I can change her faith. I walked infront of her, she stood up in greeting. The girl has some manners, I like it. " sit down Miss Bennett " I told her, that Miss Bennett sounds so out of place for her. Even for her thats new.
She sat down and handed me a letter, ( all part of my plan ). " My madam Roselle told me that I must work with you for five month to complete my course. " she said handing me her papers.
My friend is teaching her literature, manners and as she like cloth designing and well I want to include her in my work. And thats why I want to train her from today. Why her than I have other plans for those other sisters.
" well, since you're here for your internship I must warn you I am not a pleasant woman to work with. I have my rules and you have to follow them accordingly. " I told her. She expression remained calm, that's a good sign.
" Good, you're here to learn, and I don't teach babies. So I will tell you anything twice. You write every point, memories.... but don't make
mistakes. " I told her. Of course she can make mistakes its just I will not tell her about it." you're room will be shown to you. I will provide you timetable for your work. My rules are : 1. Dont try to butter me, I hate it, 2. I hate excuses so dont try to make one just get the work done, 3. I want to working you better be working, 4. You call me
' Madam ', 5. My mother thinks that you're a guest and that stays like that for her, 6. My clients must not feel disrespected, 7. They disrespect you, you must tell me, 8. We are still new so I would like you to keep it private. 9. Flirting with guests or anyone is off the table. 10. You may have to work with males here, so no romantic relationships here. " I told her and I think for now" we are know each other of course but here we will not be personal friends but here we will focus on our professional work. " I told her and she nodded. " safina show her, her room. Take rest Miss Lydia, we have work to do. Join me by evening. " I told her
" I will mam " she said took her things and went with Safina. Wow, she has changed a lot. It would be nice to work with her.
Mr Hurts ( POV )
" Mr Darcy why don't you have some lunch with us. " I asked him. He is standing in the hosre stable watching the horse eat and rest.
" I am not hungry Mr Hurts. Don't worry about me. " he said, he looks impatient. Although he is trying his best to hide it.
" we are 6 km away from our destination, hope we can cover it by evening. " I told him to ensure him that we are not going to be late.
If it was upto him than he wouldn't have stopped at all, its just we are with him and the horses are tired, so he is forced to rest a bit before starting the journey.
" come Mr Darcy lets see if others are ready. " I told him and we both came inside. Mr Bingley is drinking coffee and my wife is just chatting with him about something .
Must say he is a very patients man. Listening to my wife chatter without any complain. We went and joined them at the lunch table.
" Caroline will be soo surprised when she sees us all. " said my wife. That she will be, she will be thrilled to see us all or just one person now thats debatable.
" what was the topic of your discussion?" asked Mr Darcy to Mr Bingley. " Mrs Hurts is proposing we attend Mrs Snow's ball party first and than go back. " said Mr Bingley.
" you know how I feel about parties, I would rather rest a bit than going to a party like that. " said Mr Darcy. I thought so.
" Mr Bingley will not move on in life if we dont introduce him to new people. Isn't it our whole idea. " said my wife in a whisper to Mr Darcy. They hardly talk with each other, so its funny to see my wife outwitt Mr Darcy.
" Alright we will attend the party
first. " said Mr Darcy, but his eyes says something else. Poor guy have to wait little longer.Caroline ( POV )
My client sent me a message that she will visit me tomorrow since she is going to attend a ball party. And my mother is nagging me to attend Mrs snows Ball party.
So finally I agreed, cause she said that will be a good place to show and promote my dress and let them know about my business. I could also learn one or two things about throwing ball parties, so I agreed.
I gave lydia copies of my design and told her to study about fabric and materials and come up with ideas for a wedding dress. I am not taking her out yet. Let me have faith in her first.
I thought of wearing something in red today. Red always looks good on me. I wore my dress but parties are not same without him, its boring. But I have to do it... So lets go.
