She had ignored every single one of the letters her father had sent to her. Not out of spite, but out of pure dislike of what the letters contained. There were at least five of them, which was five more than he had sent years before when she was of no interest to him whatsoever. This only made it that much clearer how much she really did loath him and the rest of her “perfect” family. It was all a sham anyway. A pretense they put on just to look good and present themselves in a fashion that made others envious of their perfection. Behind closed doors, however, they were far from perfection. In fact, they were probably close to being the least perfect family in the history of perfect families.
Now, Danelle was on her way up to the owlery to post a letter to her father. It was probably a bad idea, but she needed to tell him that she really wasn’t interested in the family business at all and that no matter how much he bullied her, because that was indeed what he was doing, it wouldn’t change her mind nor allow him to force her into working for him. She did not want to be under his tyranny anymore than she already was. Tying the rolled up parchment to the leg of a school owl, Danelle tried to hide the scowl on her face. She really wasn’t looking forward to the reply.
She sent the owl out and leaned against the window as she watched it fly off into the horizon, the contents of the letter running through her head:
Father,
I know you feel that I would be a great asset to Gregory Enterprises, but I must entreat upon you the idea that I will most definitely not be. I am far too clumsy, disorganised, and all around unable to perform the tasks of which you wish to bestow upon me. In all honesty, I believe that hiring someone else of decidedly better caliber would promote your business far better than I could possibly ever be.
If you do not take into account that I cannot perform the necessary tasks, then take into account that I will not under any circumstances decide to join the “family team” no matter how much you try to persuade me otherwise.
Cordially,
Danelle L. Gregory
