Chapter 14
A few days went 의해 as the same routine. Ariel takes Melody to school, runs errands for Eric, picks up Melody from school, feeds Melody dinner, and tucks her in bed, while Eric comes 집 from work. On her first day-off on Sunday before leaving with Andrina for church, Eric had given Ariel her first salary. Ariel had thanked him very generously for her reward. She blushed as she remembered hugging him tenderly that day. Was she allowed to hug her boss? Maybe a handshake would have been proper? Gee, she hoped her boss wasn't mad? Was he?
Today's Thursday and Ariel was trying to find the neighboring school that Melody's principal told her to apply.
''Where is that school?'' She wondered impatiently. ''Ah! There it is!'' She drove Eric's car up to the parking lot of a dull-orange brick building. Ariel thought the place looked bigger than Melody's school.
"Gee, I hope I can find my way to the Interview," she gulped. Luckily, she found the principal's office. Ariel walked inside and was told 의해 the secretary to sit in the waiting room. She hoped that she will get the job.
50 분 later...
"Thank 당신 sir, for taking your time to meet with me," Ariel said very formal as she shook hands with the school principal.
"Your welcome, Miss Benson. I will let 당신 know about the results. Have a nice day," said the school principal.
"You too, sir," said Ariel. As she walked out of the school building, she let out her breath that she had been holding during the whole interview.
"That wasn't so bad," she thought. As she was getting into her car, her cell phone's Ducktales Theme ring tone rang. She looked at it and it said, "Adella Benson." I wonder what Adella wants. She wondered.
"Hello, Adella. What's up?...Meet 당신 at the office?...Okay,..how do I get there?..,"
Ariel walked inside the building. She took the elevator since her sisters work on level 22. Ariel opened the door and then in a flash, her sisters smashed into her.
"Ariel!" Adella, Andrina, and Attina exclaimed. "It's so good to see you!" Ariel was startled 의해 her sisters' sudden appearance but smiled.
"It's great to see 당신 all, too!" she replied. Ariel encircled her arms around them. After a group hug, they let go.
"So, what is it like?" asked Attina.
"Was the kid giving 당신 any trouble?" Andrina asked wryly.
"Oh, yes!" Ariel joked. The other girls laughed.
"Really?"
"No! She's really sweet! So, what do 당신 guys invite me over for, anyway?"
Ariel's sisters smiled really mysteriously.
"Weeeelll, Ariel. We know that 당신 had been working hard every. single. day!" Adella exclaimed, so dramatically.
"With no rest! No breaks!" added Arista.
"Hey! I get a 일 offs on Sundays!" Ariel protested.
"Which is why this Sunday, 당신 get to spend a 일 with someone special," Adella said in a sing-song voice.
"And who is this "special" someone that I should meet?" Ariel asked, rolling her eyes. As on que, a young man walked in through the open door, facing Ariel and her sisters. He was tall, blonde curly hair, with very muscular arms. He dressed up in a black suit which looked very sophisticated. He also had a 상단, 맨 위로 hat and a cane.
"Ariel, meet Harry Rothschild," Attina said proudly.
"Good day, Miss Ariel," smiled Harry, tipping his hat to her. "My, 당신 look lovely today!" He winked at her.
Ariel giggled. This man sure is cute!
"Good day, Mr. Harry," she answered. "Where are 당신 from?"
"I am from Willmet, which is not too far from here," Harry answered.
"Save the 질문 for the date, later," said Adella.
"What? But Adella, I think it is important I get to know someone before dating-"
"Well, dating is the time to get to know someone!" Adella retorted. Ariel looked taken back 의해 Adella's comment. What's gotten into her?
"Yes, Ariel," Harry agreed. "How about we arrange a 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 at "La Ratatouille?"
"Why there?" Ariel asked. Although La 라따뚜이 is an exquisite French cuisine restaurant, it's awfully expensive!
"His father, Richmond Rothschild, owns La 라따뚜이 restaurant chain," Attina whispered in Ariel's ear.
"What do 당신 say, Miss Ariel?" Harry inquired, flashing a smile. His smile was so bright that Ariel was sure, that it almost blinded her! Ariel's sisters chimed in eagerly to tell Ariel say yes. But should she? The guy seemed nice but she barely knew him! On the flip side, Adella says dating is the time to get to know someone. But wasn't dating only for people who are looking for a marriage spouse?
Ariel sighed mentally.
"All right. Sunday it is," she answered.
"Excellent!" Harry said. "Good 일 to you. I'm sorry but I must get to an important meeting. Tada!" he added as he walked away. While Ariel's sisters were cheering, Ariel sneaked out the business floor and ran to her car. She made a 날짜 with a man. Whom she barely knew! What had she done! She sat in Eric's car for a bit to recover from shock.
Meanwhile back in the office building, Eric was coming out of the bathroom when he saw Ariel's sisters giggling.
"What's with them?" he asked his co-workers.
