steak and baked potatoes. I’m also making a nice garden salad.” Mama Mack said.
    “Is that an invitation?” Mona teased, but felt that she could really enjoy a meal like that.
    “Yes sweetie, it is. I would love for you to come over and have dinner with us. Trust me when I say that Rico would love it, too. You know he’s moving in a few days so I told him I would make him a nice dinner before he leaves. I’m glad that he’s getting his life together.” She said.
    “I didn’t know that. I’m definitely going to call him in a lil bit, because we have some things to talk about.” Mama Mack smiled at the idea of them working out their issues. She knew that her son adored Mona.
    “Well, that’s good honey. Y’all really do need to talk. Hopefully, I’ll see you later this evening. Now go ahead and look around because it’s really nice in here. I’m excited about decorating this place for my boys.” Mama Mack said looking downstairs at Monty. He was still holding MJ. “Bring me that pretty baby.” Mama Mack said.
    Monty and Candy walked upstairs then he handed over MJ who was showing all gums while laughing at Mama Mack talking to him.
    “This is one cute, juicy baby and he smells so good.” Mama Mack squeezed him tight. “I’ll be glad when I’m a grandmother. I don’t know what Rico is waiting on.” She looked over at Mona who had walked off peeking inside the doorway of the break room.
    “He’ll have one soon enough.” Monty said thinking of Monica.
    “Yeah, I agree.” Candy said as she was thinking of Mona. You’ll have two come to think of it, thought Candy quickly.
    After looking around upstairs Monty and Mama Mack discussed a little more in detail what and where he wanted certain furniture pieces and pictures on the wall. Once all the details were discussed they made their way back downstairs. Mama Mack gathered her things and prepared to leave.
    “So Monty you said that you’re having an initial meet and greet next week?” Mama Mack asked.
    “Yes ma’am. It’s nothing major, but I’d like for you and Maurice to get together and discuss what kind of décor he wants in his office and since Rico left early then that’ll be a good time for you and him to talk about his as well.” Monty replied.
    “Isn’t it someone else that is going to work with you all?” Mama Mack asked. 
    “Yes ma’am. It’s my cousin Brendon, but he won’t be here until the first of the year. He’ll have to get with you then. His taste is probably like mine I’m sure.” Monty grinned. “Will you be able to have the conference room table here by the beginning of the week? If so that would be great. That way we can sit down and discuss other things concerning the business.” Monty stated.
    “Sure, that won’t be a problem. You still want the oak wood, black, shiny table and with ten, black Captain’s chairs, with chrome handles and oval back cushions, right?”
    “Yep, that’s right. I know you have to order it, so just let me know if it’ll make it here by then. If not then I’ll think of something else.”
    “Oh don’t you worry ‘bout that.” Mama Mack said in her spunky tone. “I got this.” Everyone laughed. “I’m gonna go ahead and get outta here. I have dinner to cook tonight.” Mama Mack kissed MJ on the cheek and hugged Mona as she whispered in her ear. “I hope to see you tonight.” Monty handed MJ to Candy so he could help Mama Mack with her things.
    “We may as well all leave.” He stated as they all exited the building together. Once outside, Mama Mack put her things in the backseat and got inside of her car. She blew the horn as she left.
    Candy handed MJ back over to Monty so he could buckle him snugly in his car seat. He kissed his son lightly on the lips. “Daddy is coming home shortly big boy.” MJ laughed. He loved any attention he could get. Monty closed the door and turned to Candy, hugging her around the waist. “I’m glad you love the place, Sweetie. I
