Friday. You could use break. Hmmm?” He looks kindly down to me from his perch at the door on my office.
“ Really, you are sure about that?” I ask trying not to sound too hopeful.
Henry chuckles and nods with a wink. “Absolutely, you go get all this sorted out for yourself. Come back refreshed Monday as come in when you settle in you office and we can brainstorm.” Henry says with a sad sort of smile.
“ Thanks so much Henry. I won’t let you down one way or the other.” I say as he walks slowly out of my office.
I decide to email Matthew before I leave.
Matthew~
Thank you very much for the fantastic meals you sent back to my place last night. I really, well, you know how much I enjoyed it.
The flowers… Matthew, there are enough here to open a flower shop! Good grief. You are going to go broke!
But you still did more than shock me. They are out of this world.
I spoke with my boss. He received the faxed contract and was pleased. I am going to go over some ideas with him Monday morning to get a crew of some people to assist in the day to day contact with MD Corp. I am sure you will be very pleased with the people I put on this project for you.
Henry, my boss, he has giving me a hall pass for the rest of the day. Apparently my lack of sleep as well, proved I needed a few hours off early.
It’s Friday, so I am happy that I have the weekend to come up with an outline of how our company can better suite your needs with professionalism and no worries on your end of the situation to not make you feel obligated in any way.
I really had a great time last night. Well, before I ruined it.
Thank you again for a really, really, wonderful two days of surprises. You are too generous.
Have a great weekend.
Emma~
Hopefully that will nip this in the butt.
I pack up my lap top and take an arrangement out with me. Stopping once at James in the reception area, I offer him to take an arrangement as well for his new “knight in Shining Armor.” I wasn’t expecting him to walk around the desk and throw me into a big bear hug. I laughed and told him to have a good weekend and play safe.
“ Always, Ms. Evans. Please have a wonderful weekend yourself.” James says as he wiggles his eye brows around.
Chapter 7~Matthew
I read over the email Emma sent back as a reply to mine. Read it four times actually.
Well this is fanfuckingtastic! If I can’t get her to stick with this project herself, I will make sure to throw a bonus over to “HENRY” to ensure her sticking it out with me. Who knows maybe she will actually forgive me. Well after hearing she has to come back herself for her boss can collect the bonus. Hmmm… I could offer her one as well maybe. I mean I bet that could really help her out with her dad. I have to find out where he is at so I can pay him a little visit.
Little Miss Sunshine of my life hasn’t responded to my emails the rest of the day on Friday or today. Well, I realize its Saturday; however she probably checks her emails at least once a day knowing her.
Her phone goes right to voice mail. How convenient. And texts? You think even one? One text, with one word? Nope. Not my Emma. “Oh God, I called her my Emma.” I say in a groan out loud in my car. Right… Like that will ever happen.
I get to the care facility where Emma ’s dad is at. Money does have useful purposes. Like, getting answers and information, it just takes money with this crazy world. Confidence disclaimer or not, Just takes money.
Scary in a way, I know. But hey, if you can use it to help others, why not?
After hitting the nurse’s station, I get a visitor’s pass to go visit my new friend. Although he doesn’t know we are going to be friends just yet. But I am sure I can persuade him. I mean I have some really strong feelings for his daughter. Maybe if he see’s me and gets to know me, he might root for me. It’s a pipe dream I know. But hope is hope…
I tap on his door. Slowly
