“No since my mum said her dowry is a million dollars then let it be done in an instant” said mr Thomas,
his assistant nodded and left the room.
“Sir your clothes are ready I’ll take my leave now the maid insisted”…..
“Ok you can leave tell my mum I’ll be out soon” he added.
the maid bowed her head and left his room.
Mr Thomas stood up to the bathroom to take his bath he stood under the water cascaded from the rainfall shower sleek and powerful, tracing the lines of his board shoulders and the subtle flex of his back. He closed his eyes and the sounds of water a soothing rhythm.
he wore his bath towel and left the bathroom with the satisfaction of his bath, he toned on a slow music to lighten the atmosphere of the room as he gets dressed.
Mum….. Mum where are you?
“Stop screaming my name and come let’s start leaving immediately” his mum added.
Thomas walks closer I’m ready
“Elias” Thomas said his voice soft as usual I need he roll Royce ready i and my are heading to Blair’s house soon.
“Understood sir I’ll see to it immediately said Elias leaving his presence.”
By 11:30AM the Roll Royce was parked at the driveway, it’s polished surface reflecting the sun. Elias returned to mr Thomas where he was chatting with the old lady. Sir he called bowing the Rolls Royce is ready, it has been well cleaned he added.
Mr Thomas smiled showing a satisfied expression on his face he checked his watch “perfect timing” mum lets go he added standing up from the sofa and stretched his hand towards his mum let me help you up he said with a soft smile on his lips.
“you don’t have to do this to me anymore you’re soon going to be married”. his mum said, they’re laughed as they walked up to the large door of the mansion approaching the driveway where the prepared car is parked. Elias stepped forward to open the car door for his boss and the old lady with his hand directing them through the opened door gently.
they both sat in the car comfortably as Mr Thomas was trying to adjust his suit and fastening his seat belt.
Mum…. Thomas said, his voice calm and gentle “ please fasten your seatbelt”.
His mum turned with a slight frown on her face “Oh Mr young man must I?
“It’s a safety precaution, Mum, just a simple click”, he replied, his tone firm but patient, he reached out for the seatbelt gently guided it across her lap, presenting the buckle.
His mum sighed “very well if you insist. You always were a stickler for rules.”
With just a click the seatbelt fasten, mr Thomas gave her a small triumphant smile. “It’s not about the rules mum it’s about securing your comfort and safety”.
She settled back against the seat, gazing at the passing sceneries, “now tell me darling how do you feel about this flash marriage?”
“Mum I honestly don’t know but I believe this will also save you from the stress of finding me a wife and also me going for your arranged blind dates”
“Are you trying to say I’ve been a bone in your neck”? She asked hurriedly with a frown on her face. No mum I never said that! “You this brat it’s best you give me a grandchild”. Now I’m getting married definitely I will Thomas said putting on a bright smile.
The car glided to a smooth stop, the gentle hum of the engine fading into silence. “Mr Thomas”, Elias announced his voice soft and clear “we have arrived”.
he reached forward to the car door sliding the passenger door open. He step out of the car gently assisting his mother out of the passenger’s seat, and readjusted his suits.
“get the gifts out of the car” he said walking towards mr woods main entrance door holding his mother’s hand.
He paused, took a deep breath, then, with a firm deliberate motion, knocked on the door.
“Who’s there said by Blair’s dad” who was sitting on his sofa with a book in his right hand and a glass of juice on his left hand.
“Amelia get the door” he said to Amelia who was busy chatting on her phone. “Dad you should just call your maid she said back to him”. Making her way out of the living room.
The knock came again and he stood up who’s there he said walking towards it door.
He opened the door and was shock to see Mr Thomas, the old lady, and a young man carrying lots of gifts, co… come… come in he stammered. making a way for them to come in, please sit down he pointed at the living room sofas gently he said with a bright and confusing smile on his face rubbing his hands against each other.
Standing close to Mr Thomas, Sir….. “please sit down said mr Thomas cutting mr woods from what he was about saying.
Mr wood sat down just opposite Mr Thomas with still a confused smile “Why has the big business CEO come to my house”? He thought to himself.
“What’s your name”? Asked Mr Thomas
“I am Mr woods sir”
nice to meet you Mr woods Thomas said stretching out his left hand for a friendly shake.
Mr Woods with fear streaming down his spine stretched his right hand to also return the greetings.
“Mr Thomas what did I do to deserve this moment of honor asked”
“ My son here Thomas is interested in marrying your daughter whom he has encountered at the club two days ago” the old lady spoke out.
“My daughter?” Mr woods rephrased with a smile.
