Uncle Boing

Chapter 4

"Midterms are in a few weeks," I explained taking a bite of my pancakes, "but I promise I'll try to call as much as I can. If Jarvis," I said pointing extra emphasis on his name given by in him a side glance, "doesn't overload my days with an extra outside of school work."

"Be nice to Jarvis," Mom cooed slowly rocking herself and dad on the hammock. They were currently somewhere tropical, possibly Fiji not entirely sure. I know they had mentioned it but my mind was all scrambled running on only 2 hours of sleep. "He's only trying to help you, darling."

"Well we'll let you go, honey, we know tooth have an extremely busy day ahead of you," Dad chuckled as mom was running her fingers up and down his chest making me cringe a bit. "Love you darling!" they both joyfully said before ending the call. Singing I ran a hand down my face checking the time seeing was 10:40 am. The call ended 20.minuyes earlier than expected and I still had a million and one things left to do.

"Miss," Jarvis said gesturing towards that car as I nodded heading out of the café.

"What's next on the list Jarvis?" I said tapping away a few replies to the party planner.

"Mrs. Matthews said she would deal with the Treasurer. She had called while you were speaking to your parents asking if she would be able to have a word with him. I thought it would be best if she handled the meeting for you. I already sent all the necessary paperwork she needed," Jarvis stated starting up the car as I sighed happily. One thing off of my to-do list.

"Make sure she sends us any notes or anything after the meeting," I ordered looking down at my phone seeing the screen blurs slightly. Blinking hard and shaking my head I opened up my eyes again seeing the letters on the screen legible. "Jarvis," I asked leaning my head back on the seat looking cute the window seeing the endless amount of people zooming past his.

"Miss?"

"Is she aware of the situation?" I asked carefully picking out my words.

"She is not, would you like her to be?"

"No," I dismissed closing my eyes enjoying the soothing feel of the car ride. Hopefully, I can get a small power nap before my next meeting. Sadly that did not happen as my work phone started ringing Mrs. Matthews name appearing on the screen. "Hello?"

"Mrs. Guerra? It's Topanga Matthews."

"Hi Mrs. Matthews what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Just calling to ask if it were possible if my family could come to the meeting with me?"

"Oh? Family as in how many members?"

"5 members 6 if we're including me. I do apologize but they all kept on insisting that they wanted to come and see my new boss"

"The new big shot!" I heard a female voice in the background said followed by a stern 'Maya!' soon after making me crack a smile.

"I'm sorry for that," Topanga apologized, "I know it's last minute and if it's not possible that is completely understandable and I'll send them off to the park or somewhere until I finish," she offered as I mulled the idea through my mind.

"It's fine," I sighed out hearing a round of woo's with a small 'I wonder what I can take from there's followed by a course of 'Maya!' "Hmm, I'll let my secretary know that you'll be bringing a guest so she can set up some snacks and movies in a room for them," I concluded as Jarvis handed me the tablet.

"Thank you again," Topanga happily said before ending the call. Sighing I quickly finished up the email just as the car came to a stop in front of a small café.

"We're here miss," Jarvis said as I nodded unbuckling myself and gathering all the things I needed for my meeting with the party planner.

"Cute," I mumbled out stepping out of the car and heading inside. Hopefully, this didn't take long.
