Fixed Proposal

*

Last night's dinner was a total disaster, especially from the viewpoint of Cyra. She had come home on time yesterday to get the worse news of her life.

"Tomorrow you'll be meeting with the son of the Baron, we've proposed your marriage to his son and tomorrow will be the proper introduction." Mr Hudson said in the middle of dinner.

Cyra almost choked on her food on hearing this news. Marriage! Her? There was no way they were going to have their way of doing this.

"And a week after that, we'll have another ball to introduce Veronica's fiancee as well." Mr Hudson finished.

"If I may my Lord, I would like you to move the wedding date for our dear Veronica so we can focus on Cyra's wedding as well," Patricia said and Cyra was shocked that she was going with this.

"On that thought, I was thinking of a joint wedding for the girls."

"No!" Veronica and her mother said at the same time.
