“Mr. Davis is here to see you, Mr. LeMaster." My receptionist says over the intercom.
"Send him in, also send in Garret too please." I look up as the door opens. "Welcome, have a seat." I say. I watch him sit then look at Garret. He locks the door and stands in front of it.
"Mr. LeMaster here is part of the money I owe you. I have ninety thousand dollars. I just need like a week or two more to get the remaining ten thousand." He tells me opening the briefcase he has. I look inside and see it is full of money.
"Best I can do is one week. I’m taking this on an act of faith here. By this time next week you had better have the rest of my money or else." I tell him.
"I will have it by then. Thank you sir." He says standing up. I nod my head at Garret and he unlocks the door and moves.
"Someone is in a generous mood." Garret says once he is gone.
"We need to make a trip to the basement yet. My next meeting isn’t for two hours yet. Why don’t we go to the basement and play with my gift." I say to him, standing up.
"After you boss." He says stepping outside the door. I go out and look at the reception desk.
"I will be back in an hour and a half . Have some unfinished business elsewhere." I tell her, she nods her head and goes back to what she was doing. We go the the elevator and go down to the ground floor. Then we go to the Family elevator and go to the basement. "Hello, we meet again." I say as I see him.
"You, what do you want with me?" He says.
"Jacob right?" I ask. He looks at me. "What did you do to Trinity?"
"Nothing." Is his reply.
"Let me rephrase that. Why was Trinity upset when she saw you last night?"
"Because I cheated on her." He says. "But I will get her back."
"She is mine." I tell him before punching him in the gut. He recovers and laughs. So I use him as a punching bag. By the time I am finished he is a bloody mess.
"Boss you need to get cleaned up for your next meeting." Garret says.
"Put this piece of trash away." I say walking away. I walk to the shower room in the basement and clean up. I put on a clean suit, and go back upstairs. I run into the my accountant as I step off the elevator. "Follow me, our meeting is going to be over lunch." I say walking out of the building. I get to my car and watch as he climbs into his. Then I start driving to the diner.
