Mr. The Lawyer Fatal Attraction
Part 76's. Stubborn Man's

I didn't expect Oscar Haugen to be interested in proving himself better. I miscalculated, I thought what was going to happen was that he didn't go through with the project, but now he's decided he's going to try to change my mind.

Or am I wrong? It was just his idea, and then he would forget this. He should have had another job to do, if he really couldn't be rejected and obviously that bothered me a lot. Know it's gonna be like this I'm gonna pretend to be a stupid girl to keep her away from me.

I'm not very good at reading yesterday's situation.

I returned home upset that afternoon because my plan to reject him seemed to have failed. Offend what I have to do to avoid it now. My arrogance to show off her achievements even led to her being curious, and I now had a hard time handling it.

I followed Xavier to Westbury and found him in the greenhouse.

"What's wrong?" Xavier who saw me enter with a tangled face and thought decided to ask.

"You know that Oscar seemed to be trying to change my mind. I didn't think he would be interested in doing something like that. What's in it for him. What he wants to achieve."

"You mean change your mind?"

"She even seems offended I rejected her first on the grounds that I already had a boyfriend. I don't think he's gonna be with his condo project. But instead he offered me to do it.

"Maybe he just wants to play around, it's simple if you don't want to serve him play don't take the project."

"So, really too." I never thought about that because obviously I've never turned down a project before.

"Do you reject it so harshly that he takes it personally." Xavier asked in surprise.

"For God's sake no. I just..." I told you what I told Oscar.

"Maybe he's not used to being rejected. And you were fed to her when it was unobtainable, and you rejected her only for the sake of a professional like me, maybe if I was as kind as she wasn't so hurt. He's sensitive too, he's a jobless."

Xavier laughed and glanced at me.

"Darling, I only have strawberry gardens, you're sure." I was annoyed by the useless question, I pinched his stomach which unfortunately was difficult to get because his clothes were quite thick.

"Hurry up to be a Senator so I have a face." Now he laughs loudly. I folded my hands on him.

"As you wish madam. I'll work hard." He embraced me while being carefree.

"So you're asking that weird question again."

"Yes-yes okay. I'm sorry, I'm just afraid you're sorry." He grabbed my shoulder and we walked home together now.

A husband who has a career in politics. It'll be like Dad. Even though he doesn't have a military background, I don't know if he'll make it.

"Wouldn't he be more offended if I refused to design for him, my mother made all this complicated, my God, the landlord who took offense I ignored her?" I complained and Xavier thought.

"Hmm, yes he would be offended, obviously. But it was a direct cut. The other way is you slow down until he's tired himself. Or you're acting like a bad duck if you want to meet him until he doesn't like you."

"I think the road is better. It would be too late to offend him if I just refused, I have to think about Mom's position as well."

"Hmm, yeah okay. If you need my help to show up tell me. I'm not gonna let him bother you. But your mother's disapproval is a problem. We have to figure out a way, should we talk to him."

"I'll talk to him at Thanksgiving."

That's how I decided to continue the next stage of Oscar condominium work.

When I got to Washington D. C. Mom greeted me at home with a sweet smile. And straight to the target.

I miss Thanksgivings every year. Sometimes it's just the three of us. Traditional food is plentiful and is a big part of the Thanksgiving celebration.

Many families put the whole family in food preparation, I arrived on Wednesday morning to help Mom cook for tomorrow.

Traditional foods include turkey, stuffing, sauces, sweet potatoes, corn bread, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Many people serve pies as dessert at the end of a meal.

Popular pie flavors are pumpkin, pecan, sweet potato, and apple. Some families choose to serve a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner rather than a stuffed turkey. They may eat vegetarian turkeys, which can be made from tofu. Others eat pumpkins, salads, or other fruit and vegetable dishes.

We did a Wishbone. Some families include breaking turkey wishbones as part of their celebrations. Wishbone was found attached to the breast meat on the turkey breast. After the meat is removed and the wishbone becomes dry and brittle, two people each take one end of the bone, make a wish, and pull it. Whoever gets the biggest piece of bone will get his wish!

Now I'm up until eight in the morning, after I boarded the earliest flight at 6am from NY, the 1 hour 15 minute journey was short, but this I do every year.

Mom opened the door for me with a big smile.

"Hallo Mom, how are you. I'm ready to cook but don't send me to the groceries today."

"No, Mom bought it all."

"All right."

"It's a shame we've been invited to the Haugen family's Thanksgiving." Thursday at Thanksgiving is usually special for families but beyond that whether it's the office or family also organizes parties for colega and friends.

"I'm not going Mom." I immediately decided Mom's expectations. I don't want to add to the problem.

"You should go. Oscar called me on purpose so don't forget to tell you." But Mom didn't give me a chance to refuse.

"That's exactly what I don't want to go."

"He's already handed over his home arrangements to you. Why don't you go." Mom's hunting me.

"Mom I woke up at four today don't you feel sorry for me who just came."

Dad heard my fight with Mom. He came to break us up.

"You're here he just came back, you immediately quarreled with him." Now he makes a comment

"Your daughter just came in has made me emotional, she doesn't know what she's doing. The eldest son of the Haugen family liked him but he wasted this golden opportunity. I'm trying to prepare it for you."

"Mom I told you before who I'm with now, why don't you listen. We've even talked about this, you forgot you agreed."

"I agreed then because there was no better place. Now that Mom can't believe your choice, you've got much better."

"Mom, I choose my own life partner, who and how I decide. Are you living it? If you live it, you can determine it. I've been talking to you I have a lover.why are you giving me this trouble."

"Donna, you don't..." I'll just talk to Mom but be on the sidelines.

"You have to go, I don't want to know why. You should go. If you don't go, you can go back to NYC now. I really don't understand what a good lawyer is."

"Mom?! You kicked me out?" I can't believe Mom kicked me out because of this.

"Donna, you're overreacting this time." Dad's reprimanding him now.

"You two are the same. Listen to your Mom once if you still see my face. If it's not up to you." Mom left the front room. I looked at Dad.

"We can't convince him once. There will be a way. You're gonna find her. It's Thanksgiving giving up a little bit to go. I'll help you find a way."

I went from the front room up to my own room.

I took a long breath. Oscar gave me trouble. He wants me to pay for his time. Fine I'll do it., though.,

\=\=\=\=

Although Mom made peace afterwards by greeting me as usual, I knew her words could not be ignored so I was forced to leave that Saturday afternoon.

My lazy makeup was created, minimalist make up, black gown, sleek look hair. Pretty neat, don't want to impress anyone.

Mom saw my makeup without comment, and I didn't ask for her comment. I had to go to this party anyway. If it wasn't Dad who gave me a step back because of Thanksgivings I would have had a fight with Mom and wouldn't have left.

We arrived, the restaurant that was rented for the party was already crowded. Father Mother and children were seen welcoming guests.

"Mr and Lady Austin, glad you could attend." Mr and Mrs Haugen welcomed us to the event. Conversations with them and a few guests bore me waiting.

Before long I followed them, there were some people I knew. But the one who ordered me to come here has not looked at it. When will he show up.

"Ohh welcome Allison to her party. I just saw you." He who ordered me should come he who just showed up later. This guy just wants to prank me with his friendly attitude. This time I won't reply assuming I pay 1x the time.

"Good night Oscar, good to see you. Thanks for inviting me."

"You must be invited, where I may not invite you. Oh yeah where your mother I should thank her for bringing you here. I think I saw her with my mom. Come on I want to say hello." He was being friendly, but friendly it was just the perfect acting he gave.

In an instant he had already walked in a certain direction, I had to follow him. He wants to show this to our parents? What plan? Cornered me.

"Auntie's happy to see you here." He greeted my mother kindly.

"Oh Oscar, you're here. You've met Allison apparently."

"Yes Auntie, nice to meet him. We've been good friends lately. Soon I'll be with her a lot because I'm in NY." And he's even embracing me now.

"Auntie hope you guys meet often too. It's not Miss Haugen."

"Of course, we wish they could walk together." It's outrageous she's intending to banging me into Mom.

"You can go for a walk together. The parents here have their own business."

"Okay, then we'll go."

He pulled my hand away from our parents.

"What are you doing exactly?" I asked him directly. "You want to make things difficult for me, you're very successful now. When did we have an episode like this familiar?"

"I wish we had a more familiar episode in front of Allison, am I wrong to hope." He sold hope to our parents. He invited me to this party to set me up. There's nothing else. It's all because Oscar wanted to take revenge on me, I thought at this party he would create the illusion he was so fascinated with me and give my mom a good dream.

And Mom will keep pecking me with it. I thought I was a fool refusing to

"You're so offended I turned you down Oscar? You can get anybody. I'm paying attention to your time, I didn't know my mom was planning our meeting. Yesterday I told you straight away I already had a boyfriend so you wouldn't feel like I was cheating on you. I'm not even okay you canceled the project I told you."

"I don't understand what you're talking about Allison, I'm trying to be friends and get us closer." Oh, my God, she thought I was Cinderella's daughter yesterday afternoon who believed in fairy tales.

I'll be fine with this. If I need to apologize, I'll apologize.

"If you're right offended I'm sorry okay. I have no intention of offending you rejecting you at all. Like I told you, I really didn't know it was you."

"You don't have to apologize I'm not offended."

"Then why are you doing this."

"I told you I wanted to be close to you. Maybe we can fit in. I assume your boyfriend doesn't exist, he's just a rival to beat. You're beautiful tonight, have I given you a compliment."

"You really want to play this drama?"

"I don't know what you mean by Allison's beautiful drama. What my words are less clear." His affirmation makes me want to laugh. I am dealing with a manipulator now, who is offended that I tried to ignore him for the sake of the person he considers to be much inferior to him.

I hate this cunning guy. She thought I didn't know what she wanted to do after she flattered me to the fullest she was going to slam me down.

"How about we just walk together at this party. I really don't have any friends right now." Now that my lips are gritted furiously, he does want to make things difficult for me. How am I gonna deal with this, if I don't take the design project he's gonna banging me with Mom. The obsessed Mom would fly straight from DC to NY to lecture me at length.

"I'll walk with you, but after this we've got this okay."

"What's up, Allison? I seriously want to know you're deeper."

"Don't you have anything more important to do."

"You're funny." He laughed, you psychopath. What's so funny about this.

"You want to take a cruise to the Caribbean later this year, I have a superyacht that can accommodate 26 guests to sail together." Now he's showing off he's got a superyacht that can accommodate 26 guests. Such a superyacht may cost at least 300 million US dollars (about 4.5 trillion dollars). Not to mention paying the captain and his crew during the trip. He thinks anyone would be glared at his superyatch.

"No thanks."

"There are a lot of friends coming along too. It's not just us. It would be nice if you came along. We're not just at sea going to dock too. Those who pay, but for you are free."

"No, I have a family event I can't leave."

"Then I'll ask your mother for permission, she'll let me." He really pisses me off now.

"Oscar I don't want to come okay. You can take the others."

"Where will your boyfriend take you on vacation? Hawaii, Miami or maybe Paris? That's boring. Come with me I'll take you around the world."

I feel lazy talking to him again. Upset because by her nature she'll actually talk to my mom.
