Ashton

"Is this supposed to be bribe?" I jokingly ask as Leora walks into the study carrying a tray of lemonade and a couple of chocolate chip cookies...My favourite.

"Yes. Yes it is" She says unashamadely placing  the tray on the table before taking a seat.

She was wearing an orange checkered top,with a white corset top and peach pants,along with a pair of white boots.

She accessoriesed with a couple of bracelets and a Rolex along with her wedding ring,which I noticed she always wore, ditching her engagement ring when she was going out.

Her hair was in waves today and she held it with a headband,matching her pants.

"Unashamed I see" I lean into my chair taking a bite of a cookie and I had to stop myself from moaning.

It was that good.

"Very"

"Going out?" I asked as I noticed the white bag she dropped on the chair beside her.

"Nah just came in from dropping Sy off"

Oh.

"Actually, thats where the cookies and Lemonade are from,Sy and I were up baking this morning and being the sweet little boy he is,asked me to save some for you as it was your favourite too".

That explains the amazing smell earlier this morning.

" i could get used to this you know"I wink,taking a sip of my lemonade.

"Dont hold your breath" She smirks,sending me laughing

"Ok,ok.What do you want?" I asked taking another bite of my cookies and dropping my pen,giving her my full attention.

"Well-" She went on to explain what she came here for placing her hands on the table from time to time for emphasis,and to be honest I only heard half of what she said.

I was taking the littlest of her features in. How her hair bounced as she was explaining whatever she was, the little spark in her eyes as she explained her buisness and the fact she had swapped the flowers and rhinestones of her wedding nails for more softer colours.

"So" She asked,popping a handful of the M nd M's on the table,one of the many additions she had added to house in her mouth,while leaning further into the chair.

"So you need a warehouse for you buisness" I repeat,mostly in a bid to make sure I heard the right thing and not make an absolute fool of myself.

"Precisely"

"Ok...Carter's does have an old warehouse, close to the airport actually, I could give it to you. I'm sure dad won't mind in the slightest" I reply after some thought.

"Really" She squealed clearly delighted. She really loved her job.

"Yep"

"What do I  have to give in return then" She asked a mishevious glare on her face.

"Nothing much, just the recipe to these cookies cause...damn"She starts laughing at my reactions and at the end,I join her.

"Do you like it that much then"She asked and I give her a face.

"I have been trying not to give you that satisfaction, but girl you know your stuff" I take another cookie and moan,making her laugh harder.

"Anyways, buisness aside,come. There are two rooms I forgot to show you the other day"

"Sure" She stands up to walk with me, not before removing her boots and going to place them in the shoe rack beside the door.

Again,another change she made.
