House Rules

Chapter Six

   "About 2 million for the house, let's say a hundred thousand for the furniture..." Daniella mumbled to herself while writing everything down in her small notebook that had a matching pen with it. She was currently calculating  how much money she owed Ian Anderson and so far, it wasn't looking so good. She would probably need about hundred years or a miracle to repay everything.

  "Would he want money for the electricity bills and stuff as well?" Daniella continued to muse when the doorbell rang. Not expecting any company, she  curiously walked out to the hallway and slowly opened the door. When she looked up, she was met with an elderly man in business suit.

   "Hi, can I help you?"

   "Hello, I am looking for a lady named Daniella Robert?"the man said in a serious tone. Daniella was taken aback by this. Why would anyone want to see her? She was mentally going through her life to see if she has broken any laws or something like that. Was it because of her debt to Ian? That jerk reported it?

   "I am Daniella Robert. Who are you?"

  "Ah, yes. I am a representative from the National Bank. We are here to inform you that you currently owe us a lot of money." This sent Daniella in shock. Even more money? How the heck did that happen?

   "What? That must be some kind of mistake. I never borrowed any money from you." She choked out. Someone up there must really like seeing her in debt. It's sad.

  "Oh no, you didn't borrow any money. It's more like you spent it. According to this report," the man took an envelope out "you opened a credit card. But the payment is overdue and you didn't pay it yet." He informed her while handing her the piece of paper. Daniella immediately took it and tore the envelope open. After scanning through the report quickly, she immediately found out who did it.

  "Martin Smith opened a credit card under my name?" Daniella asked in slowly, not really believing that her best friends conned her yet again.

  "It sure seems like so. Now, Ms. Robert, in the  report you also have the amount you owe us and the due date. We really hope there wouldn't be any more encounters like this. Have a good day." With that the man turned around and walked our of the driveway. Daniella, still staring at the paper from hell, abstinently closed the door and went to the living room.

  "Unbelievable."

   "Stephanie Henney, from the first moment I saw you standing on the sidewalk near your house in that pink and puffy dress I knew I loved you. You are the love of my life and I can't imagine living without you. So will you marry me?" Ian choked out nervously.

  "That was like the lamest line for proposal I've ever heard. You should really work on it if you want the audience to believe it." Ian whipped his head around from the mirror towards the person standing in the door of his room.

   "What are you talking about." He choked out, thinking that Daniella had found out his plan.

  "Your line, dumb ass. It was way too corny. Tell your producers to change it; no one will watch a movie with a line like that." She said with a smirk. Ian mentally sighs in relief.

  "Oh, Yea, for the movie." He chuckles humorlessly. So she thought that he was practicing for a movie! Stupid woman. But suddenly Ian remembered that she called him a dumb ass. "And  I am not a dumb ass. It's you who is stupid here. Just get out of my room, I need to go somewhere tonight so don't make me any dinner."

  "Whatever." Daniella responded irritated. She was just trying  to help and he has to be the jerk he usually is again.
