Bella woke the next morning. They once again took her book away but today she was visiting a group therapy.
While she was away Betty came. She placed to book mark in the place Bella had left off and took the library book back.
Zane watched this. Her family cared a great deal for her happiness. Why couldn't his family care for his happiness.
He pulled out the book in his desk. Le Petit Prince. {To my little prince always follow what is right and always return home after the journey, love Mom♡♡}
Always follow what is right.... what is right.
Bella and her happiness is what is right. Making my father richer why was that his responsibility? No a child needs to follow his own path.
His small company he started was doing very well and with his investment he was not a poor man. He owned his penthouse and his grandmother home. He did not need his father's Job or Money.
"Mary Ann please come here." Zane called his secretary.
"Yes, Do you work for me or my parents?" Zane asked.
"I was hired by you parents to stay by you side till you were 18. After that I was hired by you to stay by your side. I watch you grow you are like my own son." She said.
"Tell me the truth, Heather or Bella,?" Zane asked.
"Personally, I don't care which one. I just want you to be happy so if Bella makes you happy you should not let go."
"If I leave the company to work full time at my new company would you come with me?" Zane was watching for a reaction.
"In a heart beat. My place has always been by your side. Is that what you'll do?" She asked. Then she noticed the book.
"Yes, please type up the memo to be sent out. Ask Mr. Beauté to come to my office." Zane said.
Zane opened his phone. Bella was back in her room reading the book. Her expression was a little off she must of realized it was a new book.
◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇ CATHERINE AND FREDERICK cont:
Catherine, however, pursued the dog for a long way over the fields, but the beast was quicker than she, and would not let the sausage go, but bolted off at a great rate.
"Off is off!" said Catherine, and turned round, and being very tired and hot, she went home slowly to cool herself.
All this while the beer was running out of the cask, for Catherine had forgotten to turn the tap off, and so, as soon as the can was full, the liquor ran over the floor of the cellar until it was all out.
Catherine saw the misfortune at the top of the steps. "My gracious!" she exclaimed; "what shall I do that Fred may not find this out?"
She considered for some time till she remembered that a sack of fine malt yet remained from the last brewing, in one corner, which she would fetch down and strew about in the beer.
"Yes," said she, "it was spared at the right time to be useful to me now in my necessity"; and down she pulled the sack so hastily that she overturned the can of beer for Fred, and away it mixed with the rest on the floor.
"It is all right," said she, "where one is, the other should be," and she strewed the malt over the whole cellar. When it was done she was quite overjoyed at her work, and said, "How clean and neat it does look, to be sure!"
At noontime Fred returned. "Now, wife, what have you ready for me?" said he.
"Ah, my dear Fred," she replied, "I would have fried you a sausage, but while I drew the beer the dog stole it out of the pan, and while I hunted the dog the beer all ran out, and as I was about to dry up the beer with the malt I overturned your can; but be contented, the cellar is quite dry again now."
"Oh, Catherine, Catherine!" said Fred; "you should not have done so! to let the sausage be stolen! and the beer run out! and over all to shoot our best sack of malt!"
"Well, Fred," said she, "I did not know that; you should have told me."
But the husband thought to himself, if one's wife acts so, one must look after things oneself. Now, he had collected a tolerable sum of silver dollars, which he changed into gold, and then he told his wife, "Do you see, these are yellow counters which I will put in a pot and bury in the stable under the cow's stall; but mind that you do not meddle with it, or you will come to some harm."
Catherine promised to mind what he said, but as soon as Fred was gone some hawkers came into the village with earthenware for sale, and amongst others they asked her if she would purchase anything.
"Ah, good people," said Catherine, "I have no money, and cannot buy anything, but if you can make use of yellow counters I will buy them."
"Yellow counters! ah! why not? Let us look at them," said they. "Go into the stable," she replied, "and dig under the cows stall, and there you will find the yellow counters. I dare not go myself."
The rogues went at once, and soon dug up the shining gold which they quickly pocketed, and then they ran off, leaving behind them their pots and dishes in the house.

Soon Robert Beauté knocked on the door.
"Come in." Zane said.
"Did you need anything?" Robert asked.
"I'm firing you. As of today you will not be working here." Zane said.
"I don't understand. I need this job. With Bella in that place, why are you out to destroy my family?" Robert asked.
"You don't understand, Let me explain."
"Go ahead..."
"I'm leaving this company and am going to work full time at a company I started a few years. I want you to go with me. If you stayed here after I left my father would destroy you." Zane said.
"So you are firing me to hire me?" Robert asked.
"Yes, so what do you say?"
"What will I be doing there?"
"My company is growing and I need a man who has your know how to run what you run here. You will organize and hire the staff to run the mail room. Right now two secretaries do it and they lose things."
"Pay and benefits?"
"Yearly salary is 30 thousand with health, dental, and two weeks paid vacation."
Robert held out his hand, "You've got a deal."
