69 Her Resolve

All eyes turned to Douglas, who was sitting relaxed on the couch; his hand twirling a little pen. He has always been a calculating and smart person. He didn't speak much, but whenever he did; he chose his words carefully.

He didn't want Nicklaus getting married and quashing his only hope of taking back the company, but then, his words did make sense. Tiana was still new to the public eye; she needs to adjust to being among the rich before she's married.
