Anthony's Return

Chapter 6

"So I think we could work this out well." Walter says happily. "IF Nicholas is ready to expand, I will be more than happy to run another branch out here." I sigh. I guess this went really good. All we really had to do is explain our company to him and Nicks pans. This guys totally bought it. "I'll phone Mr. Hansen once you guys head off. I feel like this will improve Hansen Inc. tremendously."

"I'm glad you like what you heard." I say. "He will be pleased to hear from you." I say. We all shake hands.

"Oh and my dear... congratulations on the engagement." He says. I smile.

"Thank you, sir." I say. He offers me a warm smile. Jared and I leave.

"That took so much longer than I expected." Jared says. "That meeting was four hours." I look at my phone realizing he was correct. "That man can talk. It sucks because he was already buying it before we started! Why he prolonged it, I don't know."

"There there." I calm. "Let's go out for drinks tonight. Celebrate our smart words of encouragement."

"I couldn't refuse that." He says. "Which one were you thinking of? I saw two while here."

"Uh, not sure, maybe if it doesn't rain we should try to hit both." I suggest.

"True. This is so exciting. Finally a new bar." He says. I roll my eyes.

"Just remember no hooter girls; you have Stacy at home." I remind. He lets out a chuckle. We go back to the hotel and change.

"I can't control how the women love me." He teases bumping me.

"Because they all love you." I mock. "They just come onto you."

"You saw it happen." He says.

"Are we talking about that drag que-" I begin.

"Gabby." He groans. I laugh.

"It's okay, Jay. I'll save you from anyone." I promise.

"And I'll save you as always." He says.
