“So I am guessing the meeting went well.” I say. “Yeah, they want to add healthy energy-boosting snacks to the Olympus line. We explained to them the diet we follow, and they told us to make some of the snacks we make and bring them to our next meeting. They are here for the next two weeks. This reminds me; they want all of us to get together and have dinner.” Everly comments. “Sounds good to me. Talk with Brent or Alek. They either have or know of a restaurant that would be able to hold our large group. I am guessing they want all the others to attend this dinner as well.” I state. “Yes, also one of the guys, Cristiano, has a younger sister that will be working for us. She just finished her associate's degree in business and wants to start working. She will be going back for her masters degree. She needs a place to stay and I know there is a vacant apartment. Do you think she can have it?” Everly adds. “I don’t see why not. I am sure this Cristiano will be happy to
I let the guys know I was leaving for my meeting with Sean. Everly and the others should be arriving at Marysa’s office to speak with her about their dress designs. I knew Marysa had her work cut out for her designing for Tianya and Kylynn, but I also knew she was up for the challenge. I checked my phone when I heard it go off, letting me know I got a text.(You asshole! Thanks for referring your fiance to me so I can help design her dress for the gala. I appreciate the referral of her friends as well. You, sir, are a grade-A dick. You could have told me who her friends were. I am pretty sure I made a total ass of myself in front of them.-Marysa)(Thank you for helping my fiance out. I feel as if you’re being slightly dramatic. I do apologize for not telling you who she was fri
Of course, I knew where Kaden was going this afternoon. None of us had any idea what they wanted to talk with them about. I had been talking with Zack more often, and I had come to realize that somewhere within this office or on one of us, there was a hidden microphone. I had told Zack about my suspicions, and he told me to let it go for now. I know that we were all suspicious about the fact that Regina and Frank had not given us any more information, and it had been that way for a few weeks now. I was in Alek’s office along with Brent when Kaden called and told them to come over after they got off. I am not sure why he didn’t include me, but then I remembered I was supposed to be going over to Kelsy and Leena’s to talk with them about going with Brent and me to the gala. However, Leena had called me earlier to let me know Kelsy had gotten stuck at work and would not be home till late tonight. So I told Alek I was tagging along with them. Not as if they didn’t expect me to com
I don’t know who this person is, but he or she is pissing me off. Thankfully it is Friday, and I can be home for the next two days. I talked with Doug the day after our meeting and asked about a guard for Everly. He thought that was a good idea. He told me that he had the perfect guy and would call me back after talking with him. I am guessing that if this is one of his friends or a guy who works for him, he knows Everly and will agree without hesitation. The guy that Doug sent started yesterday. His name is Giovanni, or Gio for short. He and Everly seem to get along ok so far. I was concerned, considering he is only 25, but Doug told me that there is no one he trusts more than Gio. Doug explained that Gio was a genius skipping several grades. He came to my office two days ago, and I made sure that all four of us, plus dad, were present when I talked with him. If he was put off or surprised that there were so many presents when he showed up, he didn’t show it. I was more t
This week has been stressful. It began with receiving that letter and those pictures and ended with Tianya and Kylynn storming into my house and being their dramatic selves. I am very thankful that I have friends like them, but as usual, they overreacted to the whole situation. I knew when Kaden walked in that night that he had more than likely talked to Sean and the guys. I had no idea that Tianya and Kylynn would find out that soon. I have no idea why they were even there, but that is not the point. I knew I was having a panic attack when I called Sean after Claire had left and told him what I had found. Thankfully he was used to me and knew how to talk me down from the panic attack. I used to have them a lot, especially in middle school. Quinn (Kylynn’s mom) had finally taken me to a doctor and prescribed me an anti-anxiety medication. I only take them when I have a panic attack, but I can’t right now. I have been more vigilant about everything since receiving the letter,
I lean back in my chair as aI swirl the whiskey around in the glass that I am holding. I have no idea how everything that I had meticulously planned suddenly went to hell. This had started so many years ago with my great-grandmother. She was determined to pull our family name out of the trash. My great-grandfather and his brother had lost everything in a bad business deal. Great-grandmother was pissed, and she let him know it. It was no family secret that great-grandfather slept around. Great-grandmother had turned a blind eye to it since he had built such a successful business, and she had her children that would inherit all of it. That was until he and his brother tried to partner with another booming business. From what I was told, everything was going well with the partnership until the other business started looking into the accounting, and then it went to shit. I guess my great-grandfather and his brother had been spending more than they were making, and they were wastin
I could see the hopeful looks on both Ian and Logan's faces. When I finally looked at dad, I could see the unshed tears in his eyes. I had no idea how to respond, and the next thing I knew, I was in his lap, crying like I was a five-year-old. Kaden is definitely my safe place, but it felt good to be in my dad's arms again. I was daddy’s little girl until Regina came along. I could feel him rubbing my back and telling me that he was so sorry for everything and that everything would be ok. For some reason, I believe him. It takes a few minutes for me to calm down, but when I do, I look up at dad, and he is smiling down at me. I pull myself out of his arms and sit back down by Kaden. He pulls me close and kisses my temple. I lean into him for support and comfort. “I just want to know why? I understand why you wouldn’t believe Kaitlin, but that doesn’t explain blowing me off.” I ask. “I can give you many excuses, but that is all they would be. I remember you telling me about
It has been four days since Tianya and Kylynn received that letter. Alek, Lance, dad, and I had gone down to talk about all of this with Sean and the guys. Obviously, all the letters had been printed from the same computer. The pictures appeared to be taken with someone’s phone or some shitty camera. It is clear that whoever this person is, they are not a photographer. While the pictures are good, they are not of professional calibre. I watch Lance. Alek and Brent walk into my office. I am glad that Brent is back. They might be having issues he is still able to calm Kylynn down. They each sit in their regular spots. “I heard you guys had an exciting weekend.” Brent comments. “I am not sure I would use the word exciting. It took us hours to get them calmed down and that was after they stormed into the gym and took out their aggression on the poor gym equipment.” Lance states. “Not to mention we need to replace two punching bags at the gym. Our saving grace was that no o
