There, Michelle began work at Macy’s, and her ambitious, yet somewhat ruthless, spirit elevated her to the position of manager. When she returned to Dallas with Allison and Alexis, the Macy’s at Galleria Dallas was quick to assign her the same position.Michelle’s thoughts appeared to be on anything but paperwork as she sauntered over to the window. She looked down at her diamond engagement ring, admiring it with a grand smile. Finally, everything she had hoped for in life, love and success, were in the palm of her hands.“Miss Stevens?” called the voice of Michelle’s secretary over the intercom.Coming out of her trance, Michelle hurried over to the intercom. “What is it?”“There’s a gentleman out here who wants to see you, but he won’t tell me who he is….”“Well, tell him I want to know!”After a moment of silence, the secretary responded, “I’m sorry, Ma’am, but he still won’t reveal his identity. He insists on seeing you.”“Damn it!” Michelle stormed out of her office, exclaiming, “All right, sir, what in the hell do-““Hello, Michelle,” James said with a cheeky grin.Noticing her boss’s frozen, puzzled expression, the secretary asked, “Should I call security?”“No… that won’t be necessary. It’s only my… ex-husband,” Michelle answered firmly. “James, let’s go into my office.”James studied his surroundings. Nodding in approval, he said, “You’re really doing well for yourself.”“I’m not in the mood for games. Just what do you think you’re doing here?”“…I’m here in Dallas for the holidays, and I figured it would only be right to check up on you,” James replied.“It took a mighty long time to get you out of my head,” Michelle said. “I wish you didn’t come here.”“Look, can’t we put the past behind us? That happened so many years ago!”“You really hurt me, James… more than you even realize,” Michelle answered as her blue eyes became glossy from tears.“I had to follow my heart, and that was with Debra Lynn.” James looked down at Michelle’s ring. “Wait a second! Is that an engagement ring?!”“As a matter of fact… yes. Your daddy’s cousin and I are getting married,” Michelle said proudly.“That’s great! Third time’s a charm, right? I really am happy that things turned around for you.”“You know, I was going to go to Southfork and shove it in J.R.’s face that I was marrying into his family again, but… that doesn’t really matter to me now…. Oh, and speaking of which, I’m only working till lunchtime before heading to Nolan’s Christmas party, so….”“Ah. You need me to leave. Well, I hope things in your life continue to go your way.” With his last statement, James left the office.</blockquote>
