"So a model," Earl's mother, Mrs. Linda Ren, smiled at her future daughter-in-law. "I heard from your mother that you worked so hard even when you were younger, but I didn't expect you to actually turn into modeling."
"Aunt… it was just a gig, a small one. When I was in college, I was working part time in a convenience store when an agent found me. He asked if I wanted to model for some boutique and earn extra cash. My friend and I agreed and my small career started from there." Analise said that the reason why she looked familiar is actually that she worked as a model in the past. She was a model of a few clothing brands before she got an accident two years ago.
"Good! Good! At least you didn't let poverty affect your dreams." Mr. Peter Ren, Earl's father, nodded. "You were always like your mother. When we were younger, your mother, your Aunt Linda, and I used to do some random job to earn some extra cash. We used to work in stores too."
Gabi listened as the table slowly turned noisier. Everyone started talking about Analise and Earl. So far, Gabi learned that Analise is the daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Ren's long-lost friend. When they were kids, they befriended the daughter of a maid in the neighborhood. At that time, Linda and Peter were already informed that they are each other's fiance. So they grew up really close.
The two didn't think that they would also become closer to Analise's mother. However, both Linda and Peter went abroad to study. Because of this, they lost contact with their friend. Years later, they tried to find where she was to invite her to their wedding, but it turns out that she married someone from another country and migrated with her family. After twenty years, they decided to come back to Du Empire.
Apparently, the reason why Earl and even their grandfather weren't aware of this engagement is that it started with a promise when they were still younger. The three of them promised to let their kids marry. Anyway, Analise said that this was her mother's dying wish. So she is here to make that promise come true.
When Linda and Peter heard about the dying wish of their friend, the two didn't hesitate to introduce Analise to Earl who actually had no problems with it.
Still, the question is, how come Gabi didn't hear about this in her past life?
Looking at them, Gabi thought that Earl and Analise looked great together. Both are tall and good-looking. Of course, she knew that she couldn't just trust Analise immediately. However, she didn't have many reasons to doubt the woman, at least not now. Later, she was already planning to investigate Analise's mother.
"Anyway, we aren't really planning on getting married immediately. We are going to take it slow." Analise said. "Earl and I already agreed to at least wait for another year to establish our relationship before we talk about a wedding."
Gabi nodded in approval. She thought that they would do rash things, but it seems that Analise and Earl were both sensible people.
"That's an excellent decision." Grandfather Ren said. "You two… have my blessings. I don't want to get involved in the matters of the younger ones. Especially your marriage. I don't think I have the right to choose the person that you are going to spend the rest of your life with. As long as you are happy and content, then… I am happy as well. I will support you two. However, it would be better to announce this engagement soon."
"Grandfather… about that… we decided to delay the announcement for six months," Earl said. "That should be enough time… right sister?" he was beaming at Gabi. And for the first time, Gabi noticed the peculiarities in his gaze.
"What are you talking about?" Analise smiled.
"Well… Gabi decided to take a six-month vacation. I wanted to announce our engagement once she is back. I'm sure that is not a problem, right?" Earl asked his fiance.
"Of course not. I think that would be perfect too."
Hearing this, Gabi raised an eyebrow. This cunning bastard. It seems that Earl also wanted Gabi to investigate Analise. His question earlier wasn't directed to Gabi's vacation but the investigation. "Then… it seems that it is already settled. Six months should be enough for me to prepare gifts for the newly engaged couple."
"Gifts?" Analise looked surprised. Of course, Gabi had to make up something just to avoid suspicion.
"Well… we made a promise in the past. The first one who will get married is going to gift the other something special that is found all over the world."
"Earl… isn't that too extravagant?" Linda immediately said. "You are older than your cousin. It is obvious that you will get married first. How could you let your cousin do something like that for your engagement?"
Even Earl's father started to scold him. Gabi only laughed inwardly. Serves him right for not telling her about this in advance!
The dinner actually went out smoothly. Analise said nothing or did anything suspicious. She looked genuine, too. After dinner, everyone started to have some wine. They started talking about random things. From this, Gabi learned new things. Analise is currently working in one of the advertising companies in the city. Aside from this, she is taking part-time courses and is planning to become a lawyer. She isn't sarcastic or noisy. She is also smart enough to be able to converse about stocks and the current market.
Right now, nothing is suspicious about the woman.
"How about you Gabi? Earl told me a lot of things about you. He said you graduated college at a really young age. Do you plan to pursue your education too?"
"No. I decided to stop for now." Gabi politely answered. "I don't think it is for me."
"Well… Gabi is a smart woman. She is still young. She had a lot of time to think about the things that she wants." Linda smiled at her future daughter-in-law.
