Chapter 7: His Fiancé
--A month after prom--
“Lucien, I’m home!” I excitedly announce as I walk in the door. Two maids immediately walked in to assist me with my bag and coat. After entering high school, I came to dislike calling my stepfather as ‘father’ so we have been calling each other by our names and that makes me feel so happy. I walked towards the dining room where I believe Lucien must be waiting for me.
“Hi there! I’m Angela! Nice to finally meet you, Natalia.”
A blond woman with sparkling blue eyes, gigantic tits and a curvy ass in a tight dress stood up from the table to greet me with an overly friendly hug.
“Hi. I’m Natalia, nice to meet you too,” I replied politely plastering on my face one of my most sweet smile that I have been trained to present during social gathering occasions. My eyes darted around to try to locate Lucien. He was nowhere in sight. Where is he? ... and who is she?
We both sat down at the dinner table where three courses of meal have been prepared and laid out by our maids. Thankfully Lucien walked into the room as I was fishing into my head to find some topic to start a conversation to fill in this awkward silence.
“Natalia, You’re back. Welcome home sweetie. Let me introduce you to our beautiful guest of the evening! This is Angela...she is my fiancé. Angela, this is Natalia, my daughter,” Lucien turned to me with the most ecstatic smile on his face. It took all the energy and soul in my body to plaster a sweet and joyful smile onto my face. If the world is going to come to an end, may it be now.
The three of us shared polite and seemingly pleasant conversations about random things as we ate our dinner. I had my body turned on autopilot with my training to act as a lady to deal with these events while my real-self retreated inside my mind as a way to handle the shock. Lucien looked straight at me multiple times over the course of dinner, showing me that he probably knew that I was not taking this as well as he would have hoped. I made random comments here and there as appropriate throughout dinner.
“Natalia, you are looking for an internship for your last semester of university, right? I would love it if you would consider working for our family’s company after you graduate. Of course, I’m not going to force you but I think it would be a good opportunity for you to learn more about our business during your internship. I spoke to your uncle, Edward, and he thinks you can learn a lot from him by working with him in managing one of our company’s laboratory,” Lucien cheerfully suggested to me with a beaming smile. I didn’t care what he said, I would do anything he asks with that smile.
“Oh sure. I guess it is time that I learn about our business as well...” I replied with a small smile of my own.
“Great then. Edward will be coming over later tonight after he gets off work to discuss some potential roles for you. Feel free to ask him anything.”
