Chapter 105
Romeo
I didn’t sleep much I was too worried about this thing with Sebastian, my gut never failed me before and that is why I always listen to it. I got up leaving a sleeping Jenn still in bed. Then I got ready for work. I went down to my office and called my contact at the FBI, Francois. His phone rang a few times before he answered “Good Morning Romeo.” “Morning Francois.” “How are you?” He asked “We haven’t spoken for a while now?” “I didn’t foresee any problems but my gut is telling me there is problems on the horizon.” “Why? What’s wrong?” “Well, my one supplier is being followed by the DEA, he wants to push product on me which I didn’t ask for and there are trackers on my vehicles.” Francois was quiet for a while. “I see the problem; everything does sound a bit suspicious. Can you give me until lunch time and I’ll find out.” “Yes, Francois please.” “We’ll talk later.” When I disconnect the call, I already felt better, it felt like I was doing something. But then one of my phones in my draw rang. “Yes” I answered “It’s Sebastian.” “What do you want?” “I heard you don’t want the product anymore.” “No, I don’t and I won’t ever again.” He could hear I was planning on disconnecting the call. “Wait why?” “I have my reasons.” Then I disconnected the call took out the sim card broke it and threw both in my fire place.
The next thing I needed to do was make sure all our cars were safe. I called Luca’s “Boss” “Any tracking devices this morning.” “Yes boss. Both cars.” “Fuck Fuck Fuck.” I screamed then I put the phone down as I heard Jenn knock on the door. “Come in darling.” When she walked over to me in her sun dress and sneakers, I realized how much I have to lose if anything should happen now, with my ex I really didn’t care but I can’t lose Jenn not ever. When she kissed me, I took over and deepen the kiss putting everything I have into that kiss telling her how much I love her although I couldn’t say it. We talked about the bakery and the fact that I send a number of Vera Wang to her. What she didn’t know, was that the number I gave her was not someone working for Vera Wang but Vera Wang herself. I met her a few times and she gave me her card and told me if I ever need something. I’m sure this count as the right time. When Jenn was on her way to work, I could try and restart the day although I’m not sure this day will get any better.
Jennifer
Elijah and I drove to the bakery, Elijah was quieter than normal which bothered me a bit, clearly something was going on. But I’m not going to ask. When we got to the bakery everything was going smoothly, Eleanor had everything under control, which made me very happy. It just means I had the right person for the job. I got myself a muffin and a cup off coffee and then went to sit at my favorite seat and started to make some calls for ovens, fridges, display cabinets. It’s actually scary how much the prices went up since I opened this bakery. I made my notes for the bakery then I took out another book, my wedding planning book. I looked for the number Romeo send me and dialed it. “Vera Wang’s phone how can I help you?” Someone answered. What? The Vera Wang. I must have been quiet for to long because the person asked “Hello you still there?” “Yes sorry, my name is Jennifer, Romeo Bianchi gave me your number.” “Oh yes just hold on.” I could hear the phone was given to someone else and then the voice came over the phone, “Jennifer this is Vera Wang how can I help you?” “Oh my God can I just say I’m a huge van, Romeo didn’t tell me his giving me your personal number.” I rabbled on. “Thank you, now how can I help.” “Oh yes sorry, I need a wedding dress Romeo and I are getting married the 1 Dec 2024 and I can’t find anything I like.” “Okay what are you looking for?” “I want to look like a princess, puffy skirt, corset type on top and in off white.” “Is that your only criteria?” “Yes.” “Well then send me your measurements and I’ll send you the dress I have in mind for you, send a picture of yourself as well.” “Thank you so much I really appreciate it.” “No problem, send me those measurement and photo and you’ll have your dress in Las Vegas within the week.” “Thank you thank you; you are a live saver.” “Just a pleasure.” She disconnected the call and I couldn’t stop smiling I just spoke to The Vera Wang and she’s sending me a dress, fuck I couldn’t believe it. I’ll need to thank Romeo properly for this.
I said good bye to Eleanor then went outside to find Elijah. “You ready to go?” he asked me “Yes but we are going shopping for ovens and fridges not home just yet.” “No problem just tell me where I have to go.” I gave him the places names and then we where on our way. We got to the first place Elijah said I had to go in by myself he just needed to make a call. I didn’t know what was going on but something was going on because Elijah made a lot of unnecessary turns to get here if I didn’t know better, I’ll say we were being followed but who will be following me? I shook that thought off and walked into the equipment store looking for the same ovens I had at the other bakery. Apparently they where discontinued. ‘Great’ I though as I walked out of the store just to hear Elijah talking to someone telling them we are being followed. “What?” I asked as I stood right in front of him.
