Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

Rachael kept packing the things she wanted to take with her while Emma and Tina kept giving her 'MARRIAGE' lessons.

When she smiled and helplessly shook her head, Emma asked, "What is so funny? Are you even listening to us?"

"You know it's actually kinda funny. Two unmarried people are giving me marriage advice," Rachael chuckled. "You two are not even in a serious relationship or have a boyfriend."

"I can't believe you are throwing that right on our face," Tina gasped.

"Just stating facts," Rachael shrugged.

Crossing her arms in the front, Emma scoffed, "Look at you looking down on us after getting a handsome hot husband."

"I am not looking down on anyone—" When both of them looked away, Rachael sighed, "Fine, I am sorry. I'll listen to you both."

"Okay great, sit down." Tina grabbed Rachael's arm and forced her to sit with them. "We need to talk about something important."

"I have a lot of things to pack—"

Cutting her off, Emma remarked, "We will help you later. Let's talk first."

Left with no other choice, Rachael complied. "Alright, what is it?" When Tina and Emma looked at each other with a grin on their face, she understood they were cooking something weird. "Okay, I am not getting a good feeling about this."

"Let's talk about your first night with mister handsome hunk," Tina exclaimed.

"That is the most important thing we need to talk about right now."

"What first night?"

"Don't act so naive." Emma rolled her eyes. "You know exactly what we are talking about."

When Rachael did not say anything, Tina chuckled, "Are you shy or something?"

"I am not shy—Andrew and I just met. We barely know each other."

"So? Is there a rule that you can't have a hot steamy session with someone you don't know?" Emma shrugged. "I don't think so."

"There is no rule but with Andrew it's different." Rachael got up. "We have agreed on taking everything slow. We will first focus on understanding each other." Though she didn't have a legit conversation with Andrew about it, she knew he would want the same.

"Okay, let's agree that Andrew is different. He is a handsome man with principles. But—" Emma got down off the bed and placed her hand on Rachael's shoulder. "You are telling me that you will share a room with a ridiculous hot and handsome man every fucking day and night without letting your thoughts get dirty?"

"Yeah, why not?" Rachael remarked. "How hard can it be?"

Little did she know it was much harder than she could imagine.

[Michael's study]

"Dad, you called me?" Rachael was halfway through her packing when one of the helpers told her Michael was looking for her.

"Yes honey, how is packing?

She slumped on the couch and sighed. "Still going on. I didn't know I had so many things."

"Well, you got the impulsive shopping gene from your mom." He sat beside her. "You know, you don't have to take everything with you. I mean, you have to keep some of your stuff here as well. Don't forget this is and will always be your first home."

Rachael wrapped her arms around his and rested her head on his shoulder. "I know and don't worry, I can't take away everything even if I want to," she chuckled. "It's too much."

Kissing the top of her head, Michael sighed. "It still feels like yesterday when I picked you up at the hospital for the first time. You were this tiny most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

He smiled. "I always wanted a daughter. In fact, when George was born, I was very disappointed. Everyone in the family was very happy because we got the heir in the first shot. But your mom and I wanted a daughter so bad that we immediately started trying and three years later, you were born."

,m He grabbed her hand. "We were so delighted, it was a dream come true. With your mom, George and you, my family was finally complete. But now—"

When he stopped talking, Rachael looked at him.

Michael was trying very hard to hold his tears. "But now you are leaving us."

"Dad—I am not going anywhere. I'll visit all the time and we will meet everyday at the company too." Though she was moving out, she had plans of resuming working at the company.

"About that—" He wiped his tears. "I don't know if I told you this before but, you are fired."
