Seen a Ghost

"A question for me?"

Lacy said nervously while trying to avoid eye contact with Adam. she felt like a rabbit cornered by a hungry wolf. just then Adam leaned down and looked Lacy in the eye then just smiled.

"do you know if Stacy Lin is dating anybody right now"

when he said this Lacy did not know how to respond. was he really just asking her if Stacy was single or not. did Michael not plan a whole revenge scheme to make Lacy look like a fool.

Just then Michael started laughing, after he stopped he called over his secretary over and had a private conversation in which he asked why his secretary picked Lacy. the secretary informed him that while she has only been a designer for 4 years she has built quite the reputation as professional who is able to fulfil the clients request. Michael nodded his head in agreement, looking at her previous work he could see she was quite capable.

Michael then stood up and walked over to Lacy

"Lacy i can see that you are quite capable as a designer, and would like to offer you the job of making my mansion more of a home"

hearing this this made Lacy jaw drop, Michael wanted to employee her, even after the way she used to treat him in school. she could not believe it, one this Job would pay extremally well, but there was the added bonus of adding to her reputation as the designer for the Master Yang of MR international.

Lacy stood and bowed towards Michael, she was extremely relieved that Michael was not out for revenge and saw talent in her. just then Adam chimed in.

"well if she is that great maybe i should have do my home after she finishes yours"

Lacy looked at Adam

"were is your home Mr. Song"

Adam scratched his head its down it the new mountain gate community

Lacy eyes opened wide

"really Mountain Gate is really high end its incredible that you have a home there. Oh and about you question as to whether Stacy Lin is dating anybody, the answer is no. Stacy has never had a boyfriend or even been on a date"

Adam looked at Lacy with some confusion

"never even dated, really"

Lacy nodded her head

"yeah its not like she never got asked out, there were plenty of guys in highschool that confessed to her but she always turned them down. I dont know really why but i suspect it has to do with her family situation"

hearing this Adam understood what she meant, he had somebody look into Stacy's background and found that here Father was a dirt bag with a drinking and gambling habit. he borrowed a lot of money from some shady people and it got so bad he even ran off for a while. Eventually Stacy convinced her mother to divorce him and try to start a new. however, he still kept borrowing money and those people when they could not find him that looked at Stacy and her mother paying them back.

as Adam thought about all of this he began to feel sad for Stacy, then he felt happy the fact that she was single and he could pursue her. he had the blessing of his grandfather and he knows that his parents will be okay with her.

then Lacy reached into her bag and pulled out some paper and looked at Michael

"Master Yang in order to renovate this place to fit you i and going to need to know your preferences, such as certain colors, styles, etc... "

Michael just smiled

" sure no problem, and by the way you dont have to call me master Yang, Michael will be just fine"

just then Michaels phone began to ring, as he pulled it out of his pocket he recognized the number as Andy. he thought Andy must have found something Richard was up to and decided to give him a heads up. Michael then answered the phone.

"Andy whats up, did something happen?"

Michael could a anxious Andy on the other end

"Michael i got something important you need to hear, were can we meet.

Michael thought for a minute and then looked at Adam

" can i borrow you house for a minute"

Adam just nodded, there was no way he could tell Michael no after all it was him that bought Adam the house.

"Andy i about to text you the address meet us there in half a hour."

with that Michael and Andy hung up

Michael looked at Lacy

"sorry i think we will have to do this another time, get with my secretary and she will schedule a different time for us"

Lacy nodded and then got with Michaels Secretary

Adam looked at Michael and saw look on his face

"something happened?"

Michael looked at Adam

"yeah, Andy said he has something we go to hear"

with that the two men headed out.

.......................................................................

Over at the Wu house hold Amy was up and make meals with her grandfather and mother when suddenly Mark Wu phone began to ring. as he answered it he walked into the next room. while he was out Amy walked over to her mother

"Mom, can i ask you something?"

Elizabeth looked at her daughter and smiled

"of course whats on your mind"

Amy lowered her head

"what was my real father like"

when Elizabeth heard Amy ask this she frowned. all of the memories of her love came back.

"he was a very loving man, kind, gentle, and very sweet. he always believed that if you can help others you should no matter what. He also had away of making friends with just about anyone, no matter if they were poor or rich, i think that is what drew me to him. he didn't care about money or status. he said the most important thing he wanted in life was to simple live it with the people he loved."

hearing this Amy was amazed, her real father was the complete opposite of Brandon. a man who only cared about his public image and wealth. she remembered how coldly he used to treat her. she remembered that when they would go on trips he would stay home and how she was jealous of other kids and there dad. At the time she thought it was because she was a girl, but now she realized it cause he knew that she was not his daughter.

"mom if we do find him do you think he will accept me"

Elizabeth looked at her daughter and could see a tear in her eye. she reached out and stroked her daughters cheek

"when your father and i were talked about having kids, he would always say he wanted a daughter who looks like the woman he loves."

hearing this made Amy smile. maybe there was father out there who loves her. she then fantasized about finding her father and her parents getting back together. this image made her happy.

suddenly Mark called out and came back into the room, with a pale look on his face.

"Dad what happened you look like you have seen a ghost"
