The Contract

Chapter 11 - The Business Date

TRAVIS FERRARI SEEN STEPPING OUT FROM A DATE WITH UNKNOWN LOVER.

Okay, now I'm pissed that they never seem to get my face in any of the pictures, I was certain Travis had a hand in this.

"Urg! The suspense is killing me" Kourtney groaned, laying down the newspaper.

"Do you think there's a connection?" She asked and I looked up at her, confused by the question. "This one and the one he took to the wedding?"

I rolled my eyes and returned back to the file I was going through.

Kourtney and Bethany had no idea about my past friendship with Travis, I befriended them after he ditched me for Italy. And I didn't like to bring up that topic for whatever reason but it seemed as though I'll be opening the not so pretty boxes soon.

I sighed and sat up before placing down the file. "So, for the Mr and Mrs Fortune anniversary, it should be a white and gold theme " I supplied and she nodded in agreement.

"Do they have a venue?" I asked. "Yeah at their lake house in Calabasas"

"Date? Those are things I wanna see in this file!" I complained and she sighed. "Mrs Fortune will be coming in tomorrow but you still have that meeting with Mr Simmons today" she reminded and I sighed.

"Time and location?"

"7 pm, at Lakewood" she replied and I exhaled a breath again, laying my head on the table. "You know, I did come to check on you last night" she brought up and my eyes shot to her direction.

"What? You weren't home anyways, you said you were in bed. Did you go somewhere?"

I tried to come up with an excuse-anything at all-but nothing came, shit shit shit!

She then bursted into a round of laughter. "I'm shitting you, I know you don't have a life outside work" she confessed, still laughing, I let out an inward sigh but still feigned annoyance.

"Shut up"

She wouldn't stop laughing. "Where's Bethany?"

"I don't know"

"Hey lovelies!" she announced her presence throwing the door open, speak of the devil. "You're late" I informed.

"Relax, I'm here now and guess who I just got out the phone with?" she said, taking a seat beside Kourtney.

"Why do I pay you guys?" I muttered to myself, shaking my head. "Travis Ferrari's assistant again, they are scheduling a meeting. Travis and his fiance are gonna be dropping by next week Tuesday!"

My eyes widened at once and they both began squealing.

I wasn't informed about that!

"Oh my gosh, finally! I'm tired of the suspense. Did you see the papers this morning?" Kourtney questioned. "Like these reporters are neck deep in his love life" Bethany agreed, picking up the papers. "But she's hot though"

"Right!" They both rambled, a smile crept up my lips at the compliment. I glanced at the time. 6:40 pm.

"Okay assholes, I got a meeting" I announced, getting up. "What meeting?" Bethany asked.

"You would know if you ever stuck around" I replied, grabbing my belongings before heading out. I pulled out my phone as I ascended the stairs into the lobby, shooting the receptionist a curt nod, I placed the phone over my ear.

He answered once I got into my car, "I'm busy right now"

"Oh so, you don't have time for your soon to be fiance?" I questioned, pushing the start button.
