The Sweet Encounter (Completed)

Chapter Eighteen - The Prenup

           

He insisted on commuting to work together, but she wanted to take her own vehicle. Losing her independence was hard to control, but he convinced her it would save on gas, the environment, and allowed him more time to be with her.

"If that's what you want, Mr. Bryson, then let's commute together." She halted at the door and returned her car keys onto the table.

"You know I can't wait until I get to call you Mrs. Bryson." He smiled, pleased at her answer. "I'll meet you for lunch then?"

She didn't know her lunch plan yet, and she was hoping to use her lunch time to run errands.

"Actually, my schedule is unpredictable today considering I've been away too many days. Can I take a raincheck please?"

He didn't want to argue with her considering she had already agreed to commute with him. "Alright, but I'm taking you up on that raincheck."

Once he dropped her off at her shop, she headed straight to her office and closed the door. She pulled out her cell phone and made a quick call. The phone rang less than two rings.

"Trey Bryson's office. Stacy speaking."

"Stace! This is Brie."

"Good morning, Brie. How are you?"

"I'm well thank you, hope you are too. Listen, I'm sorry for being short and blunt, but I need Mack's contact information, and if you could be discreet about this. I don't want Trey to know, at least not yet."

"Sure, Brie. Give me one moment."

Brie called Mack as soon as she got off the phone with Stacy.

"Mack Ward."

"Mr. Ward, I'm sorry to intrude and call you without any notice, but I was hoping we could meet up for lunch today."

"I'm sorry, who is this?"

"This is Brie. Brie Staples. I'm Trey Bryson's fiancée."

"Oh, yes, Brie. It's a pleasure to meet you; however different this circumstance is."

"It's alright, but I thought it would be important to discuss Trey and the matter of the prenup."

"Of course, I'll have my assistant return your call with my availability if that's alright with you?"

"Yes, it's perfectly fine. I'm very open during the day."

"Pleasure speaking with you, Miss Staples. See you soon."

She hung up the call and hoped she did the right thing. She knew she did, but it might risk hurting her relationship with Trey.

The morning went at a fast pace for Brie. She didn't have much time to think about anything else except her customers and more baking. Mack's secretary scheduled their lunch meeting at 1:30 pm at the King's Kitchen, not too far from her bakery shop.

She felt a phone buzz and picked it up. It was a text from Trey.

Trey: Hope your day is going well. Can't stop thinking of you. Are you still available for lunch?

Brie: It's been busy as expected. How about I meet you at my place right after work?

Trey: There you go again with your surprises. 5 o clock can't get here fast enough.

Brie. Love you.

Trey: I love you.

Brie had a few minutes to clean up before heading to her meeting with Mack. Hoping all goes well, that's all she could ask.
