Coming Home - Morestead's Series (Book 1)

Chapter 19

Upon arriving back in Brisbane, the next morning, Tyler drove them straight to his work and parked in the underground car park, they got out the car and started walking towards the lift; Gina noticed a reserved car park for Tyler and asked, "Why didn't you park there?"

"I do not want him to know that I am here, so he will not be on his guard," replied Tyler as he looked around while waiting for the lift, "Good thing is he is not here yet either, but Amber, Ralph and Martha are, so we can give them a quick rundown of what is going to happen this morning." With a ding, the lift arrived and they stepped into it, Tyler pressed the button to his floor.

"Do you think this is going to be easy, I mean, how well do you think this is going to work?" asked Gina beginning to feel a bit edgy.

"No, it's not going to be easy, honey. This is going to be hard, for the both of us," said Tyler as he pulled Gina in for a hug, "He has hurt someone that is very close to us, but we have to control that so we can get him," Gina sighed, "But I am also not letting anything happen to you, you will not be far from me the whole time."

Upon arriving at his office floor, Tyler ushered Gina forward towards the only closed door, he reached into his pocket, pulled out his keys and unlocked the door and they both entered the room.

"Good morning Sir, Miss, lovely morning is it not?" asked Amber upon their arrival. "Ralph, saw you arrive and is on his way up with Martha."

"Thank you, Amber, this is Gina Marshwell, as you most likely know but as of last night, my fiancée," said Tyler looking down at Gina with a smile.

"Congratulations sir, if not to sound bold, it's about time," said Amber with a smile, Gina laughed at Tyler shocked look, "Sir, I always knew there was something going on between you both and was upsetting when you separated," Tyler looked at Gina and Gina just kept laughing.

"Ah, thanks, Amber," said Tyler, "We got that all sorted and made it official. Oh, we also found a place to do the next photo shoot. It is just outside Ipswich, a homestead called 'Cherrybar', a lot of history and beauty in the one place."

"Cherrybar that is the Alan Morstead homestead, wow, how you get them to let us do a photo shoot there?" asked Amber in surprise.

Tyler chuckled, "Inside information but it helps being engaged to Alan Morestead's great, great, great granddaughter," Amber gasped and looked at Gina, "You're related to Alan Morstead?"

Gina laughed, "Yes, I grew up there."

"Oh man, you are like South-East Queensland royalty, wow," gushed out Amber in her excitement, "my mum is going to flip, she loves Cherrybar and the gardens, she is there every open day helping out," she finished off explaining.

"That wouldn't be Mrs. Armstead?" questioned Gina with a funny look on her face.

"Yes," exclaimed Amber, "that's my Mum."

Gina nodded, "She is a big help for Mum, some of her ideas have been used in the gardens, which have in turn brought more visitors in," Gina explained for Tyler's benefit. "I have met her on numerous occasions," Gina explained to Amber.

"Oh, that is great to hear," Amber was about to say more when she caught Tyler's look, "oh sorry sir, got off the subject."

Tyler laughed, "it's okay Amber. So where are you with everything that has happened here?"

"Well, Ralph rang me early and informed in what happened overnight, he also just told me that the police detective was coming up with him and Marge," replied Amber.

"Good, that is really good," said Tyler. "We will be able to have them on board so that they understand what we are going to do."

"Yes sir," said Amber as she watched them walk towards his office.
