King's Hart

Chapter ♡ 7

Monae's POV 💙

"Vrrr, vrrrr"

The feel of my phone vibrating woke me out of my sleep, reaching over on the bed I picked it up not looking at the caller id.

"He-" I cleared my throat "Hello?"

"Good morning is this Ms. Lockhart?" the voice on the other end spoke.

"Yes this is she, how can I help you?" I sat up, glancing at the clock that read 8:30 am, I didn't have to be in the bakery until 10, the guys already know what they had to do.

"My name is Madison Archer, and I'm calling on behalf of Mr. King, he would like to set up an appointment to meet with you to discuss rendering your services for an upcoming event".

"No problem, I'll be available today at 1:00 pm if he'd like to meet today. My other free openings are Thursday at 3:00 pm and Friday at 9:00 am" I replied getting out of bed to get my laptop.

"Today at 1:00 pm will be great Ms. Lockhart! I'll be sending an email with all necessary information, see you soon!" the girl said enthusiastically.

Why the hell is she so chipper at this hour?

"Alright, thank you. Bye," I ended the call opening my business email seeing the information come in. Opening the email I read over the information and began taking notes.

Nasir King.

Brushing aside the feeling I got, I closed the laptop and went to prepare breakfast before getting ready for the bakery.

3 hours later

"Morning boss didn't know you were coming in today" I glanced up from my desk to see Dominique standing there with a smile on her face.

"Hi morning Nique, yea I just wanted to go over a few things. Can you get Adrianna to put together a sample box for me please, I'm meeting with a client at 1, so I would like to take it for them" I smiled back.

"Oooh, who is it this time? Another sexy Asian? Orrr is mister mafia back in town?" she wiggled her brows causing me to burst out laughing.

I met Domonique around the same time Ryah introduced me to Cairo, she was their cousin and we just sort of clicked. I guess it was her carefree attitude, and love for baking like me that drew me to her. After working with Cairo for about a year and a half, I ventured off to open my bakery and Nique was the first person I hired as my manager/pastry chef. They were very supportive, and I wouldn't have gotten this far without them, they're my family and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

"Neither. His name is Nasir King, he-"

"King Towers, Nasir King?!!" she squealed.

Damn, am I the only one that doesn't know this man? I feel like I've been living under a rock.

"I'll assume you know who he is?"

"Duhhh, you're probably the only one who doesn't" she smirked as I rolled my eyes.

"Ha ha ha, just make sure the samples are ready nique," I said as she laughed walking out.

"Adriana my love!!! We have samples to make, Mo is about to meet her future husband!!" I heard her shout, shaking my head with a smile I focused back on the papers in front of me.

Glancing at my watch, I got up seeing it was 12:30 pm and from the directions Madison sent, the office was about 20 minutes from her. Fixing my clothes I walked out of my office to the front of the bakery where Adrianna and Antonio were talking. Adri was a baker assistant, she was currently in culinary school so when she asked about the job to get experience, I didn't hesitate to give it to her. Antonio was in charge of finance.
