C45: The Next Step

CHRIS

"There's plenty of room inside, the lower level of the house would be a perfect place for you to do any kind of work. The backyard is spacious with a pool. Not to mention the view is beautiful." Our real estate agent tells us

"What do you think Chris?" Kae asks me

"It's definitely my favorite one. I'll have the space for some privacy and to be alone with work. And you and baby will be comfortable. I think this ones it." I answer

"Yay! I'm so happy. This is great Chris. I can't wait to move in." Kae tells me

"Wonderful. I'll get all the papers ready and we can meet tomorrow to seal the deal." The agent tells us

"Great. Just give me a call." I tell her

She nods and walks back out probably to get her bag, and give us time to talk.

"Ahhh," Kae says as she wraps her arms around me "This is literally a dream come true, I'm so excited Chris."

"Good, you should be."

And she should be off my back about Isabelle in general. She has no reason to think I'm making an effort.

"What do you have planned for the rest of the day? I think our parents should meet up and we can discuss more wedding details tonight. My dress will be done tomorrow and I would like it if your mom would join when I'm doing my fitting." She says

She's never satisfied that's for sure.

"Sure. And I can't make no promises about my mom." I tell her

"Please, Chris. I'm gonna be her daughter in law, I don't know what I've done to her. I just want her to give me a chance."

"I'll talk to her, but again no promises Kae." I say

"Thank you. I have to go see Christina but I'll see you tonight."

"Alright, see you later."

"Okay, love you, bye." She says and gets into her car

At least I can go back to work and feel normal again.

"Has Trey or Isabelle been in today?" I ask on of my employees

"Trey hasn't sir, but Isabelle is in the center."

I nod as he walks out.

I should go and see her. Probably should apologize for Kae yesterday too. I feel bad for not standing up for her from the get go.

I get downstairs and see her talking and pointing around. I go inside and see people are putting in monitors.

"That's perfect! Thank you so much." She says

"No problem Isabelle."

OBJ again? When are they not together?

She turns and sees me and her face drops a lil.

"I see you're putting in the new monitors." I say

"Yeah, I wanted to get them in and make sure they're working properly before we start hiring." She tells me

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I ask her

She looks from me to OBJ, and he nods.

"I'll be back in 15." He says walking out

"What's up?" She asks as she sits down

"I just wanted to apologize for Kae's behavior last night. It was outta line."
