"Thanks Jacob, everything looks great." I smiled at my lawyer.

"Great. I won't keep you any longer, I don't need Killian coming after me."

"Come on Jacob, don't start." We stood up and begin to walk out of his office.

"Just joking around but tell him to stop by sometimes I haven't seen him in a while."

"I surely will, take care Jacob." I walked out his office and headed for my car.

Killian and Ace are at home and I'm enjoying this nice and warm Saturday by myself and I love it. I started my car and headed towards the mall.

"Hey mom." I spoke into the phone.

"Hey, what you up too?"

"Headed to the mall, everything okay?"

"You and Ace don't need anything else and yes everything is fine just checking on you."

"I'm just going to pop up at the store that's all." I laughed.

"Even I know better than that."

"Give me some credit mom."

"I do all the time. Where is my grandson anyway?"

"At home with his father, thank God! Boys are something else, everyday I'm trying to stop him from jumping and running wild." I shook my head as she laughed.

I ended the call with my mom as I quickly scanned the store and noticed it was quite busy and not enough employees on the clock. I entered the back room and placed my purse inside of the lockers. I got back on the sales floor and begin to help customers.

Once the rush was gone I pulled Haley inside the office.

"I already know what you're about to say." She spoke before I could even say anything.

"We need to do interviews next week, I can't have the shop like that anymore. Some customers don't care, others don't want to wait and then you'll have the thieves that'll see your understaffed and go for it. We can't have that happening."

"I know. I'm trying."

"I know you are, I came in here just to check on you guys and the sales but after that rush I know you guys reached the sale goal. Do I need to stay until close?"

"No you're good. Thank you."

"Before I leave I'll grab y'all something to eat."

"OK."

"Damn baby, where the hell you been?" Killian spoke as I entered the house.

"I stopped by Jacobs and then I stopped by the store just to end up working. I have to do interviews this week."

"Jacobs? What you stopped by there for?" He questioned.

"Contracts for my collab with Briana. You already know he asked about you." I shook my head. Killian has done a lot of business with Jacob and Jacob loves the paycheck that comes with doing business with Killian.

"Yeah, I bet." He chuckled.

"Where is my baby?"

"Nap."

"Thank God, I'm so tired!" I sat on the couch and placed my feet on his lap.

He wasted no time massaging my feet.

"You miss me?" He asked.

"Nope, I enjoyed my day to myself."

"Oh yeah?" He questioned.
