Nadine Book 2

64. Traitor

I wake up with Dipak about 10 in the morning the next day. We both stretch and snuggle a bit.

"Last night was amazing sweetheart."

"Yes it was. I don't know if I'll be walking today though."

He laughs and picks me up out of the bed. "I guess I'll just carry you everywhere."

I crack up laughing and he puts me down in the shower. We wash each other and enjoy the time together. We make it to the morning room about 11.

"Why the princess dress angel?"

"I figure I should make an appearance at the races. Maybe wave or something." They all smile at me.

Tobias is helping Nikolas with the China inn. Johen just seems to be watching them. The other boys are working on their own stuff. Me and Dipak grab something easy to eat. Then we all walk up to Dipak's office.

I sit in my spot and all the boys sit all the way on the other end.

I smile at them. "This week has been fun."

Tye nods. "And we really have got a lot done."

Everyone agrees with him as the elevator opens and the rest of the table walks in.

I look at the brain and whisper. "Get Gunner."

There seems to be a lot of confusion as everyone tries to get to their right seats. Gunner comes in the middle of the confusion so no one really notices he wasn't there to begin with. Nikolas pulls Tobias with him and has him sit in the empty chair beside him. So, he ends up on my end.

After about 4 minutes everyone seems to have the correct seats and we are all here.

Thora stands up and points at Tobias. "Is he your mate?"

I shake my head. "No."

"Does he live here though?"

I try to shake my head but it doesn't work. "I really have no idea. He's been here since you all left. So it is possible."

Dipak shakes his head. "I don't think he lives here."

Everyone nods.

A brain walks up to me with 2 towels. "This is the purchased towel. This is the 1 we were able to make with the bamboo."

I lay them both out in front of me.

Coral starts rubbing them. "These are amazing. I can't tell the difference in softness or color."

Thora nods. "These need to be in your shops. They are so much bigger and nicer and softer than regular towels."

I smile at them. "We can make them in different sizes and colors too. Like the washcloths and fingertip towels. Hair towels."

Coral jumps up and down. "You need to make them into robes too. I would kill for a robe this soft."

"I love that idea for my shop." I look at the brain. "For now, replace all the towels and washcloths in the castle with these. Then make 100 in each size for my shops. Do not put them in the shops yet though. I need to figure out pricing. Make 50% of each in white. 25% in light purple. 25% in light blue, for the shops. 100% of the castles towels will be in white. Also make me 3 robes. 1 white, 1 light purple, 1 pink."

"Of course."

I sit back down and look at Dipak.

Omar jumps up. "Oh I forgot they are coming in 2 days for your group Dipak. I think it's like a 5 day mission or something. Something about taking a planet. I don't know. They talk a lot more than you."
