The Contract

Chapter 78-The Lunch with Mom

Wild Society.

Travis was really pissed about this, he said something about it been some kinda organization and I think Trent was a part of it.

But my question remains, why didn't he let the man at the party talk to me? He was about telling me about it.

This will piss him off but I really needed to meet Hastings again.

I sighed and glanced out the window, it was Monday and I was heading to work. Yeah, Rosa was right, I was a workaholic.

I mean, I know the flight really took a toll on me but I can't possibly stay home to feel better. I find my peace behind that desk... getting work done.

We pulled over and I stepped out of the car. Today I wore a pink dress, it was body con and had a wooly texture and buttons leading from the top to the end.

My hair was straightened on either side of my face, I stepped into the lobby and Layla looked up. "Welcome back, Mrs Ferrari!" she greeted and I shot her a smile before heading up the stairs.

"Oh my gosh!" Bethany heaved once she saw me and Kourtney got out of the office. "What are you doing back?" She asked and I ignored them and walked into mine.

I took my seat and looked up to see them both standing in front of me as usual. "I'm back, is that a bad thing?"

"So soon?" Kourtney asked. "If you are wondering how the 60th went, everything went good"

"How are you back so soon?" Bethany demanded and I sighed and looked up at the both of them again.

"Can we get back to work? The Stellar Awards is early next month, we've barely got time to be playing around

"Elias and his team are rounding up work, they just need your final supervision" Kourtney informed. "That's great, schedule one with Jenkins, we would want his opinion too"

She nodded and took that down. "Anything else, any new client?" I asked. "Actually..." Bethany drawled and I looked up at her.

"When is the wedding?"

"In November, we are gonna begin planning soon" she squealed and I smiled. "I'm honored to be your wedding planner "

"I can't believe this is happening" Kourtney muttered and she rolled her eyes. "That reminds me, is it true that Hillary rejected Justin's proposal?"

"Yes"

They immediately occupied the seats in front of me. "Spill it!" Kourtney commanded and I sighed and looked up at them.

"She turned him down at the gala last Wednesday for personal reasons, apparently she isn't ready to settle down"

"I can't believe, I actually envied them" Kourtney murmured. "But they were perfect. How's Justin doing now? He's too handsome to be going through shit"

I shot Bethany a look before answering. "They broke up, Hillary will be flying back to London. That's all, now can you both get back to work?!"

They sighed and got back up. "Welcome back, I guess"

"Yeah, shut the door"

The telephone rang and I picked it up and answered. "Pearl Vega speaking"

"You can't even go by your husband's name" the person said and I paused and looked up. "Mom?"

"You made me go through the trouble of getting your office number" she complained. "How did you get it?" I wondered.
