TASIA'S POV
𝔸 𝔽𝕖𝕨 𝔻𝕒𝕪𝕤 𝕃𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕣
"Yes I'm sorry ma'am but we are going to have to start over it's not a way to get around it" The contractor said through the phone
"Well how did this happen how can a store that was almost complete suddenly need to knocked all the way back down" I said rubbing my temples trying to sooth the headache coming in.
"As I explained before the floor collapsed and in order for us to be able to fix it we would need to start the foundation all over to ensure the safety and hazards are no worries" he said
"Okay so how long will this all take?" I asked him
"I would say it would add on another year maybe I can get it down to 9 months" he said and I groaned in frustration
"Okay so well how much this cost now?" I asked him
"No charge ma'am this mistake was on our behalf. I truly am sorry and I can assure you we will get it back right as quickly as possible ma'am" he said
"Okay. Not to quick though that's probably why the mistake was made in the first place just this time around please make sure everything is done correctly I can't afford for this to be delayed again. I'll have my assistant follow up with you and you can give her the rundown on everything else" I told him and hung up. This day just could not possibly get any worse.
I decided to call Dani to let her know so she could know that work is going to be swamped when we go back in.
"Hey Girl where you at?" Dani asked answering the phone
"Hey I'm at home I just got off the phone with the contractors they have to start all over again and saying it's going to add a year and so let's just say Monday morning is not going to be a good one for us" I said
"Damn how the hell they just going to mess up our time line like that" she said
"I know right anyways where are you going sounds like you driving?" I asked
"I'm going over to Taraji's you and the kids not coming?" She said
"Coming for what? I didn't get an invite to anything" I said confused
"Have you not talked to T? Tasia... they found out the body was Keith's last week and today is the viewing well I don't know if it's still called that or not but yes we were going to meet there then go to the place" she explained and I started to feel guilt all over for not being there for Taraji
"Shit! I didn't even know you know I've been busy as hell dealing with work I hadn't talked to anybody and now I feel like shit for not being there for her. I called myself trying to get her back and I'm not even there for her during one of the hardest parts of her life" I said
