Chapter 14

• Elena Dorian was led into Ernest's penthouse three days later, where he sat comfortably on a couch. The Dorian family and the Dorian Corporation were well known to him before he even left Amanda's farm. He'd tried to get Amanda to go out with him on a weekday, but she'd steadfastly rejected his offer of help with the farm repairs. In spite of her financial situation, she remained steadfast in her hope that the insurance would come through. Mr. Kesler's response to Elena's offer was "highly " Of course," he replied, with a fake smile of his own, and she nominated in agreement. If I've upset Miss Harris in any way, you can count on me to make it right. He instantly pulled away from the line in the sand she had mentally formed, expecting he would want to discuss her demands. "This is my brother and family lawyer, Wade Kesler," he introduced the couple. "Please have a seat so we can explore your suggestion further." Ernest was a charming character who was well aware of this. He knew how to handle people like the Dorians, but Amanda Harris was a different story. He'd never met anyone like her before , and he was drawn to her on multiple levels in an unexpected way. It's possible that this woman holds the key to some of the information he's looking for about her. Eleanor stiffly accepted the chair and scanned the men in front of her. Elena could see why Amanda didn't want her to pursue Ernest for more than the insurance assessor's report had stated. Unlike Elena, she was naive enough to fall for the man's slick sales pitch, which she did. After all, she wasn'tt going anywhere until she got exactly what she wanted out of this situation. When the greetings were over, he turned to his assistant and said, "Would you like some coffee?" That was all I needed to hear from her. "I' ve already had my quota this morning, thank you," she said sweetly. When the occasion called for it, she had the charm to rival Ernest's. She remarked, "You seem to be recovering quite quickly," that you were. It was agreed that he was. In the aftermath of the crash, "I will always be grateful to Miss Harris for saving my life and treating me so well." That she was awake and able to reach you so quickly was a good thing, Elena sighed thoughtfully. Elena had reviewed the reports from Amanda's interviews with the physicians and investigators while the inquiry was still continuing.The specialists had stated that the bruising and injury to his chest and torso if he had stayed slumped as he was in the cockpit may have caused him major issues. As a precaution, she had spoken with experts to assure them that Amanda was not to blame for Ernest's injuries. He said, "Yes, I was." with ease. "Amanda was a savior that night," said one witness. He took a breather while his assistant set up a small table between them with crystal glassware and a jug of chilled still water. Are there any issues with my helper staying behind to take notes? He inquired, his voice full of concern. Elena bowed her head and said, "I insist." "It's time to get down to business." If only he could persuade her to allow him, Ernest would gladly assist her.The obstinate woman had so far refused to accept anything other than the insurance assessor's findings. The fact that he was falling for Amanda didn't matter to him. He knew it would take time and patience for her to embrace his love for her, despite how irritating she might be at times. To help her, Ernest had to convince her that he could help her. The obstinate woman had previously rejected anything else than the insurance assessor's findings. The fact that he was falling for Amanda didn't matter to him. He knew it would take time and patience for her to embrace his love for her, despite how irritating she might be at times. I insist.

• After meeting Elena Dorian, he was confident that she would accept his aid, however reluctantly. The extra money and her daughter's fortune would be too much for Elena to turn down. When Amanda confided in him about her past with Elena, he didn't want to risk making her angry because of his actions behind Amanda's back
• Wade said under his breath, "I hope you know what you're doing, little brother," his unhappiness about the meeting evident in his voice. It collision may have left you with a brain damage, if that is your future mother-in -law
