The next day her father wanted her to accompany him to the Teller-Morrow Automotive Repair shop so he could talk with the owner about a business deal he had in mind. She was more than willing hoping to see that handsome bald, tattooed man again. Any reason to see him was good enough for her although she was sure her parents would never approve of her seeing someone "like him". She didn't care. He intrigued her and she wanted to know everything about him. Seeing a BMW pull into the lot made Jax groan. A middle-aged man in a nice suit stepped out of the vehicle followed immediately by a dark-headed woman much younger than himself. Happy stared taking in her appearance today with a smile.

'Why does everything she wear look so damned good on her?' Happy thought as he watched her and the man she was with walk into the office

'Why does everything she wear look so damned good on her?' Happy thought as he watched her and the man she was with walk into the office. It made him wonder what was going on. Had he done something the previous day to warrant a complaint about him? She seemed pleased with his work. A thousand different possibilities went through Happy's mind before Jax yelled for everyone to get back to work. Michael Baker introduced himself and his daughter Isabella to the woman behind the desk with a smile and handshake.

"What do I owe this visit, Mr. Baker?" Gemma inquired.

"Please call me Michael." He smiled at her, "You see, I've just bought the four properties to your right. I plan on putting in a large gas station there. Complete with diner."

"I see. What does that have to do with me?" Gemma sat back in her chair and looked between the pair.

"I thought that since you're a mechanic shop we might be able to help one another out. Give recommendations to the other's business as it were." Michael explained.

"I see." Gemma stared at him trying to figure him out.

"It would be a mutually beneficial arrangement. Anyone needing mechanic work, my employees would recommend your shop. I would hope you would recommend my place as a good place to fill up their tanks and bellies before leaving Charming." Michael pitched to the older woman.

"Sounds fair enough." She stated.

"Is this something you'll agree to?" He asked.

"Sounds like a good idea." She replied making Isabella smile as the pair shook hands.

"Construction will start in the next few days. If you need anything, please let me know." Michael explained.

"I will, Michael. Thanks for the heads up." Gemma stood up and walked to the door.

"Have a good day, Mrs. Teller-Morrow." Michael stated before nodding to his daughter.

The entire club were sitting or standing around the picnic table near the clubhouse watching the repair shop office as the older man in the nice suit and the younger woman stood there chatting with Gemma. Clay wondered what was going on. He waited for the pair to finally leave before strolling over and asking what was going on. Gemma explained about the new gas station that the man was going in next door to them and what the man had wanted. Clay shrugged his shoulders, lit a cigar, then walked back into the clubhouse. He had some business with Alvarez to take care of and needed to get going shortly. He had Tig escorting him while everyone else remained behind to work at the auto shop.
