Chapter 23 Sloane's Plan

Chapter 23, Sloane's Plan

November 5 - 10, 2011

Sloane was a very spoiled person. She had met Logan last year at a fundraiser in New York City. Sloane pressured her father to set up the meeting when her mother told her that Mitchum Huntzberger's son was single. Sloane had read about the fundraiser that the Huntzbergers were throwing, and she begged her father to obtain an invitation to it. When they arrived at the event, her mother made a point of introducing Sloane to Shira. Sloane found out about the committees that Shira was on and with her mothers help she joined the same committees both in England and in the US. Right away Sloane began to flatter and cozy up to Shira, and soon Sloane won the approval of both Mitchum and Shira. Sloane met his sister Honor and her family a few times and didn't care for them. Since Sloane spent most of her time in London, she decided she would be pleasant but would not need to form a relationship with her. Since Logan was traveling back and forth to work at the London offices, she convinced him to let her move into his apartment

Sloane made it a point to learn everything about Logan, where he went to school, who he dated and his income and family's status in both the US and in England. In conversation with his mother, she learned about a girl that Logan was involved with at Yale. His mother told Sloane her name and explained how she was not good enough for Logan and how happy they were when they finally broke up. The name, Rory Gilmore, meant nothing to Sloane since Rory apparently wasn't from a wealthy society family.

Logan hardly spent any time with her so she asked Shira for suggestions. Shira suggested that Sloane spend more time with Logan by attending events with his friends from the states. When the invitation arrived in the mail for the Grand Opening of Roberts Gallery, Sloane convinced Logan to bring her with him. Logan was growing tired of Sloane and had wanted to break up with her. After seeing Rory in Hartford, he knew that Rory was his one true love. Logan argued with Sloane telling her that she would not enjoy being there, but she finally convinced him, with the help of his father, that publically it would look that they attended this event together since they were now engaged.

Sloane was not happy with the publicity she received from the New York Post. This was all that Gilmore Girls fault. When she first saw Rory that night, she couldn't get over how regal and elegant she looked dressed as Audrey Hepburn. She observed Logan and noticed right away that Logan immediately ignored her and went directly towards Rory. Sloane took a few moments and looked at the images of her. They were breathtaking especially the ones where she wore the sheet. Immediately Sloane became jealous. She would never be a natural beauty like Rory. No matter how much money she had she could never have that natural glow to her skin, nor would her blue eyes sparkle like Rory's. Sloane's eyes were a gray hazel and only with deep blue tinted contacts would her eyes appear blue. Sloane watched as Logan immediately was drawn to her, even after four and a half years this girl still had his heart. Sloane had an, enormous diamond ring on her left finger, a business deal that their father's arranged, so she was Logan's fiancee, and he had no right to have feelings for someone else.

After her jealous outburst and she was publically taken from the Gallery, Logan spent the night in a different hotel room in New York City. He sent a car to pick her up, and they left early Saturday morning to return to London. Logan was angry and started to drink on the plane. He passed out, and while he was asleep, she carefully removed his phone from his pocket and found the number listed under "Ace." She heard him call her that, she copied the names and her email to her phone. When they arrived, he immediately had the car take her back to the flat, and he left in the taxi going to his favorite private club. For the next week, he would sleep at the club and only returning to the flat early in the mornings, showering in the guest bathroom with the door locked then immediately heading into the office.
