Mr. The Lawyer Fatal Attraction
Part 27's. The Another Handsome Prince
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Do you think you need a man to be happy." He didn't answer my question and asked me something else.
"I can be happy with myself. I can buy flowers for myself. Only I know that life companion is something that complements us. Not that I expected the white riding prince. Only I know with a good life partner you have a friend celebrating something, you have a friend sharing a sense of sadness and feeling not alone. That's not a very beautiful dream. Do you think that's wrong? You were married, right?"
"No it's not wrong. That's why someone gets married. To have friends all his life, life is too lonely to pass by himself, self-inflicted grief is sad..."
"I'm sorry to remind you of your wife."
"No, I guess I've been blaming myself too long for their accident?"
"They?"
"My wife was pregnant at the time. I was supposed to take her to the doctor, only when the client asked to meet suddenly because she had to get out of town, when I told her to change the schedule so you could leave tomorrow, but her doctor took a leave of absence the next day, so she insisted it was okay for her to go alone. I should've driven them back then, if I had driven him, the accident wouldn't have happened..."
I see now, ..he must be trapped in guilt, and trapped in the perfect shadow of his wife, no woman can penetrate that, he said, nothing could make him want to start again because of that guilt.
"I see, it must be very difficult for you sir." He is a good man, as Alma said.
"Yes, it's hard, it takes years to feel it's destiny. But obviously the next door neighbor is not my destiny." Now I laugh when he talks about Miranda.
More fun conversation later. This dinner at least I know that Miranda was trying to catch up with her in Manhattan and take her out to dinner. We laughed at him and I told him frankly that I had not considered Victor a lover either.
I'm upset but at least I'm not heartbroken. Although I've obviously been badmood for two days.
"There will be others as well." At the end of the night my feelings improved because of the good food and I could tell other people.
"Ohh sir, today the work is done, tomorrow I will not come there if I get bored."
"Come here, why should you bother me. You're even familiar with Alma and Salma. Just come whenever you want no permission." I'm almost home. Tomorrow I won't come to Westbury.
"really?"
"Originally you're not planning on charging an interior consecration fee." I'm out now, where there might be such a charge.
"For you obviously there's even I'll raise 200% of the price." He grimaced wide. "Thank you for taking me to dinner."
"Thank you for making my house so beautiful."
"I'm glad you like it." I smiled happily, my work was liked, it was the most pleasant compliment I got today.
"If you need help, you know where to find me don't hesitate."
"Yes okay. Don't blame me for looking for you."
I got back to his house. I went straight back to Manhattan. Maybe I'll look for him later, maybe chat.
Because talking to him is fun.
