    but in the end, I relented. For whatever reason, he needed this from me to be happy and he had been so generous with me financially, I felt that I didn’t have the right to fight him on this. “Are you ok with that Melanie?” “Yes,” I said softly. He looked at me approvingly as I stood up from the table. “Would you like a bottle of water?” I asked. “Yes, please,” he said. I walked to the mini bar and grabbed two bottles of water. When I was returning to the table he was dropping ice cubes into his glass and refilling it with some type of whiskey. I handed him the bottle of water and sat down across from him and took a sip of my water and thought for several minutes. He took a sip of his whiskey and looked into my eyes and spoke. “What are you thinking about?” “You said some very cruel things to me earlier,” I said hesitantly, not wanting to make him mad again. He thought for a moment. “Some of the things I said earlier were very harsh, but that doesn’t make them any less true.” He paused. “What you did concerning your clothes purchases and partying might not have been smart choices, but worse things have been done by college kids,” he said smiling.

He began to speak again which broke me from my thoughts. “Also, one thing I told you wasn’t true and I want to clear the record.” I looked into his eyes anxiously waiting for him to continue. “I’ve never seen you use your looks or your body to get what you want. However, once you enter the business world you might want to re-think that philosophy,” he said smiling. I laughed and thought for a moment and figured that was as close to an apology as I was going to get from him. When I looked into his eyes, for whatever reason, I instantly thought of my father. “When I was a little girl my father told me over and over that beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone,” I said softly. James laughed, “I think your father is a wise man.” As we talked, I was feeling so much better that things were returning to normal. I continued, “When I’m at a club and a beautiful woman enters the room, she doesn’t have to announce to the world that she’s beautiful, everyone around her already knows that. She’s judged on how she treats people, so I’ve always tried to be kind to everyone until they give me a reason not to.” “I know you do Melanie, and that’s another thing that ...
