the men of my life

chapter 12

A month has passed without incident, since Kamilla and Jay had agreed to share responsibilities of Robbie. One Friday afternoon, whilst Kamilla was in the shower, she heard the ringing of her phone. Robbie took the call and told her that Uncle Sam, was coming that evening.

She was looking at Robbie's homework, when Samuel and Doris arrived. He brought a new bag for Robbie and a perfume for Kamilla.

- How about I treat you dinner tonight, said Sam.

- Oh no, Uncle Sam. I have to go to sleep early, tomorrow there is a swimming competition and our team must win.

- You and Kamilla go, I'll look after Robbie, Doris told them.

- Okay, we won't be late.

- No worry, you both go ahead.

Kamilla and Samuel at the nearby restaurant as he has so much to tell her about his trip.

- Spill lover boy, what happen in New Jersey?

- You were right. Mac Allister was sentenced 10 years for Conspiracy and he has agreed to depose in favour of the prosecution.

- Who had thought that he was greedy? He looks so simple and naïve.

- Thanks to you. You are really a genius.

Whilst they were having dinner, Matt called to see Robbie who phoned his father. When he arrived, he told Doris to go and he would remain with his son. Robbie was very happy, because his dad had been helping him to win the swimming competition.

At 10 p.m., when Kamilla and Samuel were back, they did not find Doris in the TV Room. She was going to see in the kitchen when he saw Matt coming from the kitchen.

- Matt, you here, where is Robbie? Did Doris call you as she was unable to reach me?

- Don't panic. Robbie told me after the competition. As I have been helping him the last two weeks, I thought that I could call on him and reassured him.

I told Doris to go as I was here and poor girl between me and Robbie, she could not say no.

Samuel who was behind her, stepped forward.

- Hi, I'm Sam.

- Hi, I'm Robbie's father, Matthew.

- If I have known that you were coming I would have wait for you.

- Why?

- I'm your company's accountant.

- Oh! So it was you who went to New Jersey to testify in Court there. How come you are also Kami's accountant?

- I've been helping her to look into her company account as she and my sister were taken up in a big project. But now that Kathy is here, Kam told that she will be helping her.

- Yeah, Jay said something like that to me.

- I must thank you for having caught Mac Allister.

- No, you must thank Kam for that. It was she who discovered the fraud.

- You, Kami.

- Yes, Jay told me that he needed to redesign your company's office and I agreed to do so. Whilst I was in a meeting with him and Sam, I noticed some discrepancies in the account book.

So Jay asked me to make a discreet inquiry instead of Sam so that no one could suspect them.

- You are really amazing Kami. You are a mother, friend, boss, daughter, sister at the same time. Thanks a lot.

Kamilla did not know what to say so she proposed to make coffee for them.

When she joined the two men, Sam was giving Matt more updates on the case.

- Tomorrow, I'll pick up Robbie at 8 in the morning, then James and Timmy will join us at my place for a last training, said Matt.

- Ok. I'll come by later with Tina. Sam, we can go in your car, what do you say?

- Sure, why not.

- It's settled then. I'll take your leave. See you tomorrow.

- Me also, I'll leave you Kam. I am tired.

- Bye Sam, bye Matt.
