Refuel

Chapter 21

“Okay, let’s do that, and you’ll have to manage things with Reece while I’m driving.

Afterwards, I’ll go change and meet you at the venue for the after party.”

“Food is ordered, and we’ll have chicken, fish, and steak as the main dishes people can

pick.”

“Probably should keep it at two items. Too many choices will drive the chef crazy.”

A knock on my open door caused me to smile, and I invited him in.

“Hey, sweetie,” Dad said.

“Hi, Daddy. When did you get here?” I stood, walking around my desk to hug and kiss

him on the cheek.

“An hour ago. I was on a conference call. What’s going on here?” Dad pointed around at

the flowers.

“Would you believe me if I said I like flowers?” I chuckled.

“Looks like someone is trying to replace me.” Dad pouted, and I smiled, standing on

tippy toes to kiss his cheek again when he bent down. Both my brothers got their height from

him.

“Never that,” I replied.

“What are your plans for lunch today?” Dad questioned.

“I have a meeting at the venue for the charity race.”

“I was going to treat you to lunch like old times. We didn’t have our monthly date,” Dad

told me as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

“Sorry about that. I got slammed with work.”

“And some boy named Kamden. But that’s okay. Let him know to come by the house for

dinner so we can officially meet,” Dad said.

“Isn’t that old school, Pops? You never did that with Eddison’s wife or all of Malik’s

women.”
