Parking my car and walking up towards the big estate, i couldn't help but to leave my mouth agape at how the exterior looked so modern. As I stepped into the mansion the interior of the house was unique and different giving it a homey feel to it. As big as it was I already notice a lot of the guest, business men and women already inside interacting with one another. As I walked my self to the bar I couldn't help but, feel all the stares and whispers pointed directly at me giving me an uncomfortable feeling to arise. When I sat down I felt the atmosphere around me shift into tension and right beside sat was none other than James.
" What do you want James?" I asked bitterly knowing he was up to no good.
" Oh! Anna bear you should know the answer to your own question and it's obvious that I want you."
"Oh My God! You want me.....god you cracked me up......well guess what...you will NEVER have me and tonight your in for a surprise James" and with that I left him in shock with his mouth hung opened. Serves him right for messing with my heart all those years ago. With that I started walking to wear we would all have our dinner and as I entered the mess hall I noticed a long table in the front knowing that it maybe the head table. Walking around to find a seat I realized it was reserved by the guest names and after walking around for 5 minutes I noticed my name near the head table seated right beside Henry, well not surprised at all. Soon guest started filing in one by one with their dates standing behind their chairs as Mr & Mrs. Thomson and their son Henry arrived the room went dead silent. Once we were told to be seated we sat and begun small talks to one another as Henry was busy talking to his father i couldn't help but notice to empty chairs in front of me wondering who could be so important to be seated near the Thomson's that were missing. As I was interacting with the guest around me or business men I knew dinner was served. Eating in front of a huge group of people was very overwhelming but took my time but I couldn't help the fact that James kept staring at me every now and then. As dinner ended we were all moved to the ball room I had butterflies kicking in because i knew they were gonna announce it soon. Taking a few breathers I headed towards the side where all the drinks were but before i could get there a hand grabbed me from behind and just from the sparks i knew it was Henry. " Hey its time.....don't be nervous i'll be with you up there okay my father will begin with a speech and hand over the company to and i'll explain how with a big company i would need someone to support me and introduce you as my fiance and that were getting married next year over the summer. Okay"
2 Hours later.........................
" Good evening ladies and gentleman, now it's been a wonderful time spending with you all this fine evening but, its time to get straight to the point. As you all know I have decided that I will pass down my company to my son, if that is if he found someone he truly loves who can support and be apart of what he does in this company. Now as a father I always want whats best for him but, he surely had his eyes on his future many years ago.......now before i spoil anything I officially give this company to my son, Andrew Henry Thompson. And he will like to give a few words of his own and will be sharing something to everyone."
" Good evening ladies, gentleman, distinguish guest and family. Now that i have my own company I wouldn't have been able to accept this without someone who truly understands me, loves me and who I know will support me. You may all know who Miss. Anna Jennifer Winter is known for but, today she will be known to everyone as my fiance the women I am to marry this coming summer, which you will all be invited to. Now Miss. Winter's will you come up to the stage please, for those of you don't know who she is, Anna is known to be the best in the business world. I first met her back when she had her diapers on but, never did i expect growing up with her through grade school and high school falling in love with her. I was afraid of asking her, letting her know how much I loved her because I was afraid to lose her, her comfort and presence. All I can saw is that I am truly the luckiest man alive to have her as my fiance and future wife." with everyone started clapping and cheering for us, i saw a few tears on both of his parents but, in the corner of my eye I saw James with a terror of shock in his face but, what made me even more shocked was a face that I haven't seen for years to be even more shocked than me.
