~~~~~ALEX~~~~~
I gulp and nod. "Yes sir. I totally understand sir. Who wouldnt want to take care of such a perfect flower like Isabel."

Lord Banning

"What job exactly has Jim offered you?I remember my wife telling me that in one of her letters Isabel mentioned that you are soem sort of computer expert."[/b]

~~~~~ALEX~~~~~
I cough again. "Well sir...Im in charge of...Mr Valentis...entertainment sir."
Stick me in the oven...Im done.

~~~~~LADY BANNING~~~~~
This boy is a total sweetheart and I can see that he loves my daughter very much...
But I dread to think what my husband will do now.

Lord Banning

"ENTERTAINMENT!!!" I cannot help but laugh out loud "You really have a good sense of humour but your timing is a little off young man."

But I see the serious look on his face and control myself "Well I will not have a son in law of mine being in charge of someone else's entertainment."

I look at Isabel "At least Victor had a steady income if nothing else."


Isabel

"VICTOR!!!don't even begin to compare Alex to him,Daddy." I say getting up enraged
"Alex is twice the man he will ever be...he loves me and is willing to put my happiness above his own."

~~~~~ALEX~~~~~
I swallow hard.

~~~~~LADY BANNING~~~~~
"Please Isabel, sit...lets talk about this reasonably..." I say to my husband trying to difuse the situation.

Isabel

"Reasonable...Mum tell Daddy to be reasonable." I say turning to my mother "He's jumping to conclusions about Alex without looking at the situation."

"Daddy,he's doing the best he can right now considering his predicament.Do you think he isn't miserable or ashamed?Well let me tell you he is...even though he may not show it."

I go stand beside Alex's chair "He didn't want to marry me because he thought I deserved someone with a title and with an inheritance...he walked away from our relationship but I fought him on it."

Lord Banning

Well there you have it...my little girl is no longer a girl but a young woman...a young woman who is madly in love without being blinded by it

"Do you have anyhting to say Diane?" I ask my wife

~~~~~LADY BANNING~~~~~
"Do you have anyhting to say Diane?"
I smile. "Well Im not the one who gives a blessing am I?"
I stand. "Im getting a drink"
I walk behind my husbands chair and say. "But if I were...I would." I say before walking out of the room.

Lord Banning

I look at the angry expression my daughter's face and try to remain calm

"Isabel says you are good at computers...would you consider working with me and my son Trevor?You could handle all the technical side of our business."

I am doing this just for my daughter

~~~~~ALEX~~~~~
Did...he really say that?
I nodd energetically. "Yes sir. Of course sir" I say immediately.

Isabel

I can hardly believe my ears

Just a minute ago I thought I was going to have to fight my father and defend my relationship with Alex...and now this

I rush to his side of the table and fling my arms around his neck
"Thank you Daddy...you won't regret this." I kiss him on his cheek


Lord Banning

"I hope I won't" I say smiling at my daughter

"Alex when can you start?Oh I suppose you will have to give Jim some time to find a replacement unless he can spare you immediately."
