Chapter 73
Romeo
After our dinner I told Jenn to go back to bed, I could see she was still tired. I really hope the few days off will do her good. When I was sure she was in the room I went to my office and closed the door. In this big house, sound can travel and what I had to say was definitely not for her ears. I called in Lucas and Eijah as soon as they entered my office, I told them “Close the door” Elijah was still a bit wary after the incident with Kyle so he immediately closed the door. “Yes boss?” Lucas asked “I need you guys to get Kyle and put the fear of God in him and if his still cocky kill the mother fucker I’m done pussyfooting around this.” “On it boss.”
When they left, I decided to call Brad it was pass 9pm already but I’m sure his still in his office. “Bradford good evening.” “Oh, come on Brad, you saw it was me calling.” “I didn’t look Romeo, what do you want?” “I want to apologize for running out on you today it was a real emergency.” “If you say so.” Brad said a bit sarcastic. I tried to ignore him and just went on “When can I see you again, we need to talk about the business and the wedding.” “My business is my business, Romeo.” “You wanted Jenn to marry to train someone to take over your business, I’m going to be involved in your business whether you like it or not Brad.” “I don’t want you involved.” “Well tough I’m going to be involved I need to look after my fiancé’s interest.” “I’m taking it it’s useless to argue with you about this?” “Yes, Brad, you know me, it will just be easier for you to give in now.” “Fine but I don’t want you in the office.” “That works for me as I do have my own businesses I’m running; I’ll just need access to all your reports.” “Not all the reports Romeo.” “All of them Brad or I will come into the office and get them myself.” He didn’t answer me so I went on “There is something else we need to talk about Brad.” “What else could there possible be? I’m already giving you everything you want.” “The wedding we decided we will give you the option you want it to be a big ‘do’ or can we elope?” “No fucking way you will not elope are you crazy?” “I take it you want a big ‘do’?” “Off course, you made a spectacle of the engagement I want the wedding on every front page as well and it should be big and extravagant.” “I’ll speak to Jennifer about that.” “No Romeo you guys decided to ambush me with the engagement if you want my support, I want a big extravagant wedding and then I want you guys here for Sunday lunch then we can talk further about the wedding and something else I was thinking about.” “Why can’t you tell me about that now?” “No, it’s something I need both of you to hear.” “Fine Brad but I want you to know this Sunday lunches will not happen every Sunday.” “That is the only thing I expect of you and Jenn when you are married is Sunday lunch.” “We’ll come every second Sunday that is the best I can do but if we are away, I’m sure you will understand if we can’t attend your Sunday lunch then.” “Fine Romeo Fine.” “Well then I expect to see the reports of all your businesses in my inbox by tomorrow and we will see you on Sunday.” “I’ll send you what I want to send you Romeo don’t forget it is still my business.” “And you should remember that, that business will be my wife’s and I will have her best interest at heart always.” “Bye Romeo.” Then he actually ended the call, clearly, I got to the old man. I had to laugh at myself ‘old man’ I’m only a year younger than him.
Jennifer
The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed I didn’t even feel or hear Romeo get into bed last night. Clearly, I was much more tired than I thought. I grabbed my phone and called Eleanor I had to make sure everything was going okay at the bakery. “Morning Jenn, how are you feeling dear?” Eleanor answered the phone. “Hi Eleanor I’m doing better thank you.” “Thank God Elijah was here.” “You can say that again I’m very sure Kyle would have killed me right there in the bakery.” “Enough about Kyle why are you calling?” “I’m just checking in Eleanor you know this is not like me not being at the bakery from early morning.” “Everything is going okay here Jenn don’t worry. I got another friend of mine in to help, Romeo called and said if the bakery can’t afford another person he will pay them.” “No no you know it’s not necessary we can effort it.” “I told him that.” “Are you comfortable with your friends working with you Eleanor? Will you be able to tell them when they mess up?” “Yes, Jenn don’t worry I have the kitchen under control you just rest up okay.” “Thank you, Eleanor.”
After my call with Eleanor, I was sitting on the bed wondering how I felt about Romeo interfering with my business. I knew he had my best interest at hard and is not trying to take over my business or trying to get me to close my business in fact he wants me to expand, basically I can’t be angry at him if it was anyone else, I would have thought they had ulterior motives but not Romeo of that, I was sure. I showered and got dressed in some jeans and a flowery shirt. I looked at myself in the mirror, since Romeo came into my life I’ve been looking at myself in a whole new way I actually thought ‘Not to bad Jenn not bad’ I went looking for Romeo but all I found was a letter on his desk for me….
