Chapter 37 Friends For This

• Jason.
• I looked at my boss, warning him with my eyes that I wasn't in the mood for games. It wasn't the first time that Grandfather Miller had set me up to get married. Ever since I met Norman, he had been like a grandfather to me. We had been together almost our entire lives, since school. It was my way of avoiding the problems at home, with my parents' arguments. I would spend my days at the Miller mansion, and my parents hardly noticed I was there, unless they needed to use me as a weapon in their disputes.
• I come from a family that is not excessively rich, but we do have significant income. That's why I could attend the best schools for future heirs of large companies. My parents wanted me to mingle with the best of New York. It was there that I met Norman, while he defended me from some boys who were bullying me because I wasn't as wealthy as them.
