They arrived at the Lockwood manor at 1pm. The head butler Martin met them at their car.

i“/iiChairman /iiMichaels/ii, /iiLady /iiRabena/ii, /iwee to Lockwood iManor/i. iIf /iiyou /iiwould /iplease ifollow /iime/ii, /iiChairwoman /iiLockwood /iiis /iin ithe /igrand room.”

Memories of the Lockwood manor began to flood Rabena’s mind. All of them weren’t bad, Grandmother Lockwood had always been kind to her even before she saved her life, and though she didn’t interact with him as much, Tyler was also always kind. The bad memories were just from Thomas and the Crests. She shook her head slightly as if to make those memories disappear. Today was about brokering a deal not going back down memoryne.

As Martin introduced both Rabena and Aaron while they made their way through the grand room doors, Both Tyler and Chairwoman Lockwood stood up to greet them. As soon as soon as their eyes met, Grandmother Lockwood’s eyes began to water. It had been months since she’d saw Rabena, and she missed her so. Tyler held her arm as she made her way to Rabena, standing in silence for a moment, Chairwoman Lockwood sized Rabena up. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but Rabena seemed different. No longer the quiet, shy, and humble girl, before her stood a confident and regal young woman ready to do business. Releasing her arm from Tyler’s, she embraced Rabena in a hug.

Rabena could feel her eyes began to water as she hugged Grandmother Lockwood; she had missed her as well. Taking a step back, Rabena introduced Aaron to both Chairwoman Lockwood and Tyler.

i“/iiGrandmother/ii, /iiTyler/i, iI’d /iilike /iito /iiintroduce /iiyou /iiboth /ito imy /iifiancé/i. iThis /iis iChairman /iiAaron /iiMichaels /iof iMGT /iiCorp./ii” /i

Rabena beamed proudly as she introduced Aaron. He couldn’t help but blush a little as he shook Tyler’s hand. Gently kissing Grandmother Lockwood’s hand, Aaron spoke in smooth and crooning tone. fnc39f Readplete version only at find?novel/fnc39f

i“/iiChairwoman /iiLockwood/i, iit’s /iia /iipleasure /iito /iifinally /iimeet /iiyou/i. iRabena /iihas /iispoken /iiso /iihighly /iiof /iiyou/ii, /iithough /iias /iibeautiful /iias /iiyou /iiare /iiI’m /iihaving /is idifficult /iitime /iibelieving /iiyou /iito /iibe /iia /iigrandmother/ii./ii” /i

Rabena smiled and rolled her eyes slightly, such a dazzler. Grandmother Lockwood however was grinning from ear to ear, her face full of blush.

i“/iiOh/ii, /iimy/ii. /iWell, he’s quite ithe /iplementor. iMy /ipliments to iyou /iRabena, you’ve certainly outdone yourself iwith /ithis onei./ii” /i

After taking their seats, Chairwoman Lockwood decided to get right down to business.

“So, let’s not beat around the bush here. I understand iyou /imade one hell of a business proposal originally ifor /iimy /iiidiot /igrandson Thomas correct Rabena?”

i“/iiYes ma’am/i. I ioriginally /ireached out to iChairman /iiMichaels /iafter imarrying /iThomas in hope of a merger ideal /iifor /iithe /iNorthern continent expansion of iMGT /iResorts and iHotels/i.”

While Rabena was updating the Chairwoman, Tyler was pulling out the proposal. Rabena decided to give

him a copy a few days before the meeting to give him time to go over the n. Unlike Thomas, she knew he would read it thoroughly.

i“/iiI /iisee/ii. /iiI /iiknow /iiwhy /iyou idecided /inot to move iforward /iiwith /iiThomas /iRabena, as I’m sure ithere /iiare /iisimr /iireasons /iifor /iiChairman /iiMichaels /iias /iiwell/ii. /iiWhat /iimy grandson /idid ito /iiyou /iiwas /iibeyond /iidespicable/ii. /iiI /iidon’t /iime /iiyou /iat iall /iifor /iithe /idivorce, ialways /iiknew /iihe /iiwould /iiscrew /iiit /iiup /iiover /iithat /iigirl/ii./ii” /i

Rabena couldn’t help but smile, it was true, she never cared for Danielle. Rabena often wondered if that was part of the reason she loved her so much, unlike everyone else, she wasn’t snowed by Danielle’s tricks. The Chairwoman continued to speak.

“iThat /iibeing /iisaid/ii, /iiI’d /iilike /iito /iiknow /iiwhy /iiyou’re /iihere /iitoday/ii?/i”
