Final Attempt

Rose took a deep breath as she reminded herself that this was a step in the right direction. In these circumstances, this was as good as she could get in finding out where Victor was; or what had happened to him.Jerry looked at her patiently as he waited for her to say something; he could wait all day if the other appointments did not interrupt them. He was used to this, not everyone came in here feeling all chatty. It was not so easy to find the words when you suspected your spouse was having an affair and you wanted them to be caught in the act. People would rather not come to him, but they eventually did when they had no other choice.He was getting ready to discreetly push forward the box of tissues on his desk, just in case he was in for a delivery of water works this morning."Well, I was referred to you by Detective Aaron Rich." Rose finally began in a strong voice after a short pause.Jerry knew that she had been referred by Det

Something Doesn’t Add Up

As Rose answered all the questions Jerry Jones asked and listened to the replies she gave, she realized that something was wrong. Something just seemed off about the whole thing and it was sad that it took so long for her to have realized it."Yes, I was the one who paid for his phone." Rose tried with difficulty to swallow the lump which had slowly formed in her throat as the answers became harder for her to give."Why did you do that Miss Cohen? Did he not have a phone? From what you said, he had enough money to pay his bills." He was asking his questions in a soft voice now because he was seeing how close to the edge she was. The last thing he would want to do was push her off.She had realized all on her own that something seemed fishy about the habits Victor Reeds had exhibited. He simply was not acting in the normal way someone with nothing to hide acted."When we first met, he did not have a phone actually.""What was his

A Man’s World

Rose had left Jerry Jones’ office with her purse considerably lighter than when she had walked in."Your bill is $4,500 Miss Cohen, it is non-refundable and frankly your case will not be an easy one to crack; but I will do my absolute best." He had confidently promised."That much Mr. Jones and it also has to be non-refundable?" Rose had asked a little hesitant.That was nearly half the money she had gotten from Wayne. In fact, if not for his generosity, she would have been left with only $500 after footing this bill."I am afraid so Miss Cohen. Another reason the previous private investigators were not able to get anywhere with this case, is because your payment was too small. You should have realized by now that this case might simply not be solved in Manhattan. I will have to travel to Ohio for further investigation, so my travel expenses are to be considered.There will also be the matter of hotel bills and feeding; not to m

She’s On My Mind

Wayne was glad to be in the office that Monday morning. He had spent the entire weekend thinking about Rose and needed to get her out of his head.He wondered if she had seen the money and letter he had typed out for her. He had made a quick call and arranged it all when he had gone back to his closet to get her the pair of slippers. He had sent a text message just before getting in the elevator to ensure that everything was set and going according to plan.He wondered if she had appreciated the money. He had thought about giving her more but had a feeling that she would have shown up at his house trying to return the money. It was a good sign that she had not come yet. Why had he even considered giving her more? Since when did he start freely handing out dollar bills which had not been requested for, by the way?Another annoying factor was that he was financing the search for the man who could get in his way if found. But he had to get her to tr

Grandbabies

Wayne should have trusted his gut and known that there was an ulterior motive to this call. But he had let his guard down and had been deceived by her smooth conversation and her feigned harmless curiosity.He should have found a way to end this phone call a long time ago, but he knew that if he tried to do that now; she would accuse him of running away from the discussion. She would not be too far from the truth actually; he wanted nothing more than to run away from this conversation. But if this phone call ended unsatisfactorily then Maggie Blackstone would be on her way to Manhattan within the next hour."Mom, please do not start with this again." Wayne almost groaned in agony."Start with what Wayne?" Maggie innocently asked in a sweet voice."You know what I mean Mom. This talk about getting married and giving you grandbabies." Wayne said with a sigh."Oh, so you have been listening to what I've had to say for this past few

Everything Checks Out

Wayne was not proud of what he had done, but he had really hated to hear his mother cry and not be able to do anything about it. Plus he had really needed her to give him a break.That lie about him having a serious girlfriend would get her off his back and give him space for at least a little while. She would find out eventually that he had lied or maybe he would have actually gotten a serious girlfriend by then; only time would tell.But he really needed to get back to work. A knock on the door drew his attention away from all those thoughts about grandbabies."Yes? Come in."Wayne was not surprised to see Ben Johnson holding a tray when the door was eventually opened. He brought his coffee like clockwork whenever he was in the office and always made it just the way he liked it."Good morning Sir, I have got your coffee right here. It's just the way you like it, light on the cream and two cubes of sugar." He said with a flourish as he c

Who Needs An Appointment?

Jessica had spent all of Sunday night and most of Monday morning prepping herself. She had soaked in a nice long bath with all the bath salts she needed. She had also shaved and plucked all which had been required to be shaved and plucked.Then she had carefully applied her scented lotions and all her skincare products until her skin felt as beautiful as a diamond. She had also washed her hair and used a stretcher so give it a little bob.She had carefully dressed up in a sheer black gown which was the very definition of sexy. It ended several inches above her knee and she had paired it off with black knee length boots. She had decided to leave the whip at home because considering Wayne's experience when Rose had handled it; he would be wary to have it near him. Even if this time it was an expert who held it.She threw on a beautiful purple coat which stopped a few inches below her knees. She had not gone for excessive make up, but had done what

A Different Cinnamon

Wayne had been really surprised to hear that Rose had come to see him. He had certainly never expected her to show up here. But he felt himself getting excited at the prospect of seeing her again."Sir? I am sorry, what did you say?" Ben asked in surprise as he waited for Wayne to repeat himself; because he was not so sure he had heard right."Please do not make me repeat myself Ben. Ask them to send Cinnamon to my office now. Any other appointment I have can wait until I am done with her." Wayne said impatiently as he did end up repeating himself."Alright Sir," Ben quickly replied. He did not exactly understand the situation but he figured it was best not to get on Wayne's nerves; especially when he had been having such a good day earlier.He quickly replayed the message back to Sarah downstairs and waited for Wayne to give any further orders."If you would kindly excuse me gentlemen, Tom, we can finish this discussion after s

One Door Closes, Another Opens

Jessica stood frozen in shock because she could not quite understand why he was behaving like this.Was this the same man Rose had described? The one who had comforted her when she cried and made a meal with her in his kitchen?  The one who had gladly given her his clothes to wear and had doubled her fee for no reason?The one who had protected her from his crazy ex and had written her that sweet letter? Was this really the same man? She could not picture the image she had gotten from Rose's story, with who was standing before her now.How could they even be the same person?Had Rose been lying? Had she let her come here on purpose to face this man who was shouting at her? But Jessica remembered the way he had spoken to her when she had first walked in; when he had thought she had been Rose. He had sounded so gentle and it was obvious that he had been glad to see her. He had gladly accepted her touch without any questions or re

Office Shenanigans

Ben walked into the office but Wayne’s attention was somewhere else as he stewed over this new information Tom had presented.Really?This had to be a sign or something because how lucky was he that his latest interest had applied to work at his company? It would be so convenient to have her nearby and Wayne was trying to keep a grin off his face as he thought about it. “However, after she submitted her resume online she was never called in for an interview,” Tom finished as he waited for a response from Wayne. Tom’s words jolted Wayne back to reality.What the hell was he thinking? When did he suddenly become one of those guys who employed their lovers just so they could be close by? It wasn’t like Rose was his lover or anything but that was definitely the goal; he had to have her. But he didn’t mix business with pleasure and it seemed like employing Rose fell into that category. If he wanted anything to do with her it would be outside
