Chapter 23 - Arrangement

She sat Nathan down and talked with him about her doubts

"Mom Isabella is not like that"

"Nathan I just want to make sure she's the right one for you"

"Mom you have met her, you can tell she's sincere"

"To tell you the truth all I saw was a poor girl looking for a way to expand her business"

"Mom!!"

"Nathan! If you want to marry her then she must go through the process. If you have that trust in her then you should not be afraid

Your father and I have worked hard to keep this business alive and I would never allow any girl to claim not even a little bit of money" Mira said and Nathan had no choice than to agree

"Your mom wants me to do what?!!"

"Isa she just wants you to move to our house for four months or so?"

"Four months? You're not even sure about the period What about my business? Nathan I am sorry but i won't agree" she said

"Mom Isabella refused to participate in such arrangement"

"Why?"

"Because of her business" he said and Mira laughed

"Get me her address I want to have a talk with her"

"Mom!!"

"Don't worry Nathan I am just going to talk"

"Isa someone is here to see you, she looks rich" her younger sister said

"Rich? Even I want to see that person" her mom said and went with her to her shop

"Isn't that Mira the famous Mira" her mom said and they went to her

"Good morning ma'am"

"Isabella right? You and I have already met, I am here to discuss with you what my son told you about"

"Mom can you leave us alone"

"Why?"

"Mom!!"

"It's ok I want to hear her opinion too" Mira said

"My son said you disagreed with the arrangement and said something concerning work"

"Ma'am I don't think it's right to leave my work"

"Should I take it that you don't love my son? Because if you did you would have leave everything just for him"

"With due respect ma'am, the fact that I and your son are dating doesn't mean I have to stop doing the things that I love and are important to me"

"That's a silly excuse my son can take care of you and you don't need to work"

"At the end you're going to be the same person and a lot you rich that will criticize me for being a gold digger, a person who only depends on your son for his money, ma'am that's not what I want to be referred to"

"Dear don't try to impress me I know girls like you who plays smart"

"Before your son met me I had a life, I had my own business though small but it makes enough to cater for my family and I. I have my own dreams and it's not going to end with your son. I don't want to impress you! Why would I want to? I want to work, get a life for me and my family so one day we can also stand in the position of you and your son with an exception that we will give everyone respect despite their status and not judge them without knowing them. I want to be known for my achievements not for being your son's girlfriend" Isabella said in anger

Mira just smiled

"How much do you earn in a day from your business" Mira said

"Ma'am please I think you should leave" Isabella said but her mom had other plans

"Maximum of 200, a minimum of 150" her mother said curious as to why she asked

"Oh that's not bad. How much do you think if business goes well will you get after a month"

"About 6000" her mom said liking where the conversation was going

"I want your daughter to stay with me for four months or so without working, how much would that be?" Mira said

"About 24000 oh goodness" her mom said

"I will pay double that amount to get her in my house" Mira said

"Ma'am sorry but I am not for sale"

"Isa!! Let's talk for a minute" her mom said

"No mom I am not staying with her"

"Are you afraid I will find out you're a fraud who only wants my son's money if you stay with me"

"What!!?!!"

" I mean you can't hide your true self forever" Mira said and isa wasn't having that
