2020-10-05 21:49:29In the evening, Kim was having dinner with Betsy and her mother. As always, Betsy chatted happily, and of course it was about her favorite subject, John. "Mom, he's so great," she raved again in high tones. “We could take him out to dinner so you can get to know him.”
“That's the chance,” thought Kim.
“Oh, by the way, Mom, we're both invited to dinner at the Summers on Friday night,” she said casually. and occupied herself demonstratively with her salad.
"What?" they both said as one.
"Kim, I had no idea that you and Ryan were so serious," Betsy exclaimed excitedly. "You didn't say a note, and at first I got the impression that you couldn't stand it."
"Yes, it just turned out that way," Kim muttered. "No need to freak out about it."
"Betsy is right," her mother interrupted. "If you only met a few days ago, and there is already an official invitation to dinner with his parents, that was pretty quick." She eyed Kim critically, who was still staring at her salad and said nothing. "Are you sure you are doing the right thing?" Chiara asked doubtfully.
"Yes, of course, Mom," Kim said firmly, not daring to imagine how her mother would react when they found out on Friday evening that Kim would be married to Ryan in just over two weeks.
The next few days passed quietly, and contrary to all expectations, working with Ryan turned out to be pleasant. He was very knowledgeable about most things, kept an overview despite the somewhat chaotic initial phase, planned and organized carefully and conscientiously. He did not make lonely decisions, discussed all the tasks at hand with Kim, and let her show him a few things As with the Trivial Pursuit, Kim found that they complemented each other perfectly, and she imagined what it would have been like to have had such a business partner by her side, someone who gave her security, right after her father's death , and that she could count on, so the business part seemed to be going well, and Kim wished she could have said the same about her private agreement.
Although Ryan has behaved in an exemplary manner in her office since the incident, he was polite and reserved, but the closer she got to Friday, the more restless she became. She still had no idea why he had suggested this deal to her in the first place, and more than once she pondered the real intentions behind his offer. More and more panic spread within her, she feared that her mother would faint when she found out about the upcoming wedding, and how Ryan's parents would react to it, she didn't dare to think either.

After all, it was Friday night, Betsy was out with John, and Kim and her mother were getting ready for dinner; if it had been up to Kim, she would have wanted to show up in jeans and a t-shirt, but she couldn't do that to her mother , and since she was going to be a member of the Summer family in the future, it would probably be better to make a good impression.
So she dressed carefully, did her hair and a little later the two of them were sitting in the car and on their way to the Summers' house. A winding driveway led through a park-like complex, in the middle of which an old mansion loomed before them. Kim held his breath. The building looked gloomy and uninviting, and the thought that she was going to live here soon gave her goose bumps.
"Okay Kim, take it easy, Introducing Chiara Mills and Miss Kimberly Mills? Mrs. Mills, Kim - my parents, Elaine and Steward Summer. ”Chiara, used to moving around in the company of other business people, said she greeted Ryan's parents with ease. Kim, meanwhile, was extremely nervous and had trouble not tripping over her own feet when she first walked up to Ryan's mother and shook her hand.
"Good evening," she said politely, trying to bring a friendly smile to her face, although the woman didn't make a face towards her. "Great, that could be something," she thought in frustration and then turned to Ryan's father. To her surprise, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her fatherly.
"Hello Kim, I'm very happy to meet you."
"Hello," she muttered, completely overwhelmed by the situation. Ryan saw her embarrassment and laid down His arm around her again, and for the first time she was grateful to him.
"We should start eating before it gets cold," he suggested, pushing Kim through a passage into the dining room, her mother and parents following them. Perfectly shaped, he straightened a chair for Kim, waited for her to sit down, and then sat down next to her.A few seconds later, Alfred appeared and began to serve the meal. Kim was relieved to busy herself with her soup, and in panic she wondered again and again what she had gotten herself into.
