Arriving at Tasty treats bakery

Lena's: POv
Stef and I just arrived at tasty treats bakery
We wanted to see how things were coming along
With the repairs. This is one of the reasons
Come down here, l walk inside and greet everybody who was standing around. Mark why aren't you all working
Lena said to Mark, Gearld told us we could take a break
Mark replies. Okay has the appliances come in yet
Because last week when I was here Gerald said the refrigerator, the oven and the sink were going to finish
Lena replied. That has been completed already
Mark responds, alright what about the walls being painted. Lena questions Mark, Gearld never mentioned anything about the walls being painted Mark responds
Lena takes a deep breath and counts to ten. I specifically
Told him that I wanted to have the walls done, where is Gearld at anyway. Lena asks Mark, he's on vacation
This week, Mark tells me. Are you fucking kidding me
He never called to say he was going on vacation.
Lena sighs, here's what we are going to do. I need you to go home Depot and pick up some paint and come back
l want these walls taking care of. Lena explains to Mark
What color do you want me to pick up, Mark States
I need black for the front and eggshell white for the back
Lena tells Mark. I'll get on that right away, Lena was beyond pissed. Babe is everything ok Stef says
No it's not Gearld is a no show, Mark said Gearld is out of town. I informed him last time to make sure that the walls needed to be painted, and nobody does nothing that I asked. There's no way where going to open up at this rate
I might have to let Gearld go because he knows what I told him to do. And does the exact opposite, this is a disaster
Lena said, so how do you want to handle this moving forward. Stef knows this is project is important to Lena
I can go for a drink right now, Lena feels a migraine coming on. Can we afford another contractor Lena asks Stef's input, there's plenty of money in the business account. If we want to get everything taken care of
We need to hire someone asp, l know that you wanted to open up soon. We're looking at another two months before everything is completed, l'm gonna kill Gerald when I see him, Stef said. He knows how important this was to me. Where losing money while he's probably screwing somebody Stef Stated, please don't put that image in my head. Gearld has no respect for me or my business, Lena replied. Babe it's gonna be okay
I know your furious right now at least we have the other workers here, who are willing to do the work. That's all that matters. Stef tries to keep Lena calm, Stef's mad as well, but she knows how to control her temper.
I'm going for a walk to clear my head Lena walks off
Stef feels Gearld did this on purpose. But Stef has something for Gearld's ass, she can't believe Gearld left them in a bind. Stef searches online for another contractor to replace Gearld, Lena heads down the street
Thinking how they can get everything finished.
