Chapter 9
"Congratulations!" said the man in front of Oscar "You´ve got the job!" and shook her hand.
Oscar was happy to hear that, she had applied for a job …and got it.
"You really have a remarkable resume. …I´ve never seen anything like this, …
"Thank you…
Oscar headed back to the hospital to visit Sean and tell him the good news. And that wasn´t all, ...she had decided to finally introduce Sean to her mother and sisters.
Oscar sat down next to Sean, put her laptop on the bed and started a video call to her mother...
After changing greetings, she introduced Sean as her fiancé. All her sisters are there too...
"Mother...sisters..." she blushed "This is Sean Dumon...my fiancé."
They were all amazed by the news. They couldn´t believe, that Oscar-who had always said that love was just nonsense and that she would always stay single-had found herself a guy and was madly in love...
"It´s an honor to meet you Madam de Jarjeyes, Hortensia, Rose, Violet, Camelia and Chrysanteum..."he said all their names. They were surprised that he could remember them all..."Oscar has told so much about you. " then he took Oscar into his arms and continued:"I am happy to have met your daughter -and sister- Oscar. I fell in love with her right away and the time we have spent together have just made the feeling stronger...I would be the happiest man on Earth if you would me give the hand of your precious daughter. ..."
"Oh my God! He is so romantic!" Hortensia yelled.
Madame de Jarjeyes:"Like wise, Sean. It´s nice to meet you. I´m so happy to know that my daughter has found a man, with whom she wants to share everything."
"Mother..." she was happy to hear those words.
Madame de Jarjeyes:"Sean, will you promise to take care of my daughter?"
"I promise. I will protect her and love her with all my being."
"Where did you meet?"
"At Versailles, where I proposed to her..."
"Why do you love our sister so much? Isn´t she a bit of...stubborn?"
Sean laughed:"That she is alright! But that´s what I love ...
"Why are you in hospital?"
"Stop teasing him!"
"It´s alright, Oscar. We were at Versailles to stop jewel thieves one night, and one of them shot..."
"How terrible!"
"I´m feeling fine now. Soon I´ll be able to get out of here."
"..."
"Anyway, I have some other news to tell yous as well... I applied for a new job here in Paris and..." she smiled..."I got it! I´m going to stay there with Sean...
Oscar´s family are happy and wish her good luck
Madame de Jarjeyes:"Oscar, I will try to talk to your father about this, but I´m afraid he might not accept this..."
"What we´ll support you two!" yelled the sisters.
"Thank you!" both Oscar and Sean said.
On her way back to her hotel she saw a very distressful young woman…
Dianne walked near the baluster of the bridge. She was nervous, but she was going to do it anyway; there was no point in her life anymore…She took her shoes off…
"I can do this…" she thought and climb onto the baluster. While she was standing there, she looked down. It was quite the fall down.
"Oh my. That´s quite the distance…" Dianne heard someone saying. She turned her head to look: it was a beautiful blond man leaning towards the baluster. He looked like a god…
"You are a very pretty young woman, but when you jump…Ooh!" she said and looked down…"All your insides will come out…your brains will be smashed and spread all over…"
Dianne started to cry…The words were so awful…
"I would use poison…It is cleaner…"
Dianne game down crying, and Oscar took her into her arms…"Now now…What made you decide to do something so horrible?" she asked her.
"He…he left me!" he cried.
"That´s terrible…but it´s not the end of the world." she tried to comfort her…"I too had experienced that, but I never considered suicide. He cheated on me, and it took me years to get over him, but now…I am very happy…"
Dianne was surprised:"You…are a woman?"
"Yes…" she looked right into Dianne´ eyes and smiled gently.
"Of course you are. You´re too beautiful to be a man."
"What´s your name? Do you have anywhere to go to?"
Dianne wiped her tears away:"My name is Dianne…" she replied…"No, I can´t face my mother right now…"
"Then it´s settled; my fiancé´s grandmother owns a bakery café and she need an assistant."
"You´re engaged?"
Oscar smiled:"Yes, to a most wonderful man. Much better than the last one."
Then they started to walk towards the bakery café…
"I told you, that eventually everything will turn to be just fine." Oscar said to Dianne as they walked together…
But Oscar had no idea of what her father would do, when he would find out about the engagement…
Meanwhile…
the general got a phone call from Gerodero, where he says that Oscar has found a man. a commoner and poor. The general got angry…
"I will do everything I can to stop their plans!"
