A Christmas Proposal: A Hidden Threat Short Story - Plot & Excerpts
The image staring back at her was not one she was very familiar with, at least not for the last few years. This morning she’d spent over an hour in the bathroom doing her hair and makeup, something she never did anymore, and donned one of her new power business suits. She pulled her reddish-brown hair up off her neck in a twist to give her a more professional air, as did the three-inch black pumps she wore. She looked good in the sleek black pants suit. Of course she should, given what it had cost. The sales woman had commented how much the suit complimented her figure, and she had to admit, it did show off all her assets while hiding her flaws. She ran a hand down the front of the suit and sighed, whispering to her reflection, “Ready or not, here I come.” She made her way downstairs after grabbing her matching handbag from the bed. Her father’s house was huge, and although she’d grown up here, the size of everything still shocked her. After spending the last two years of her life in a small hut in central Africa with Doctors Without Borders, her father’s house seemed massive. As she rounded the corner, she heard Jessie, the housekeeper, in the kitchen.
