You promised me

JAELYNN POV

Running late to my office with zahrie in toe. We overslept from coming back last night. I was still in vacation mode this morning. If Elijah didn't call me his morning I wouldn't be here.

"Jaelynn oh thank god you came. Your first appointment is waiting for you and she's a bitch" my assistant quickly said handing me my coffee.

"Yeah I'm sorry!. We over slept Listen take zahrie and feed her this in here. And then just give her the iPad so we can watch some cartoons until I'm done with this client" I handed her zahrie and the container.

Walking inside my office I see a woman with all black on and black shades. Oh boy she needs help with dressing herself I thought.

"Jaelynn?" The woman said.

"Yes I'm sorry I'm late" I said.

She eyed me up and down with this look. I raised my brow "so how can I help you?".

"You can't help me. Do you know who I am?" She asked.

"Nope. But if we can get on names basis then maybe I can figure out who you are" I said.

She laughed a little "you may know my daughter... Alexis". Now I was confused. It's too early for this bullshit.

"Okay... if you came to question me... it's a waste. I don't know who killed your daughter" I said.

"Yeah but I do know you two had beef for some time" she said.

"Umm correction... I don't have beef with her. She's the one who clearly had the problem with me" defending myself. "Your daughter was delusional. She needed therapy which I suggested plenty of times".

Her mother didn't laugh or blink. "Well now my daughter is dead. And well I want to know who did it".

"Well let me inform you the police are working on it. So if you're looking for updates you need to call them or pay a visit to the precinct".

"My daughter was right. You have a smart mouth for a small woman".

"And?. I'm tired of this Alexis crap. Whatever happened to her she probably asked for it. No offense your daughter had a lot of beefs with people".

"How dare you say something like that?" She stood up.

"Listen old lady I don't mind whooping some old lady's ass. So please sit the fuck back down before I have to throw down" I warned.

She smiled "you ain't doing shit. I'm not my daughter. I will fuck you up".

"Ooo I'm shaking in my heels. Lord she said she will fuck me up. Well come on then". I stood up from my desk standing my ground. I don't back down from nobody!.

"You know what... I'm not doing this right now. I'm better that this and you". Still standing there waiting for her to leave my office. She stared at me closely before walking out my office. The fuck is this bullshit I'm dealing with at this time of the morning.

Walking out my office to see if she left and she did. Eyeing my assistant "from now on when you book clients please get full names. That was Alexis mother".

"Wait! What?!. Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I didn't even realize" she said.

"I know you didn't I'm not blaming you. But this old lady trying to step up. Bitch you don't know me I will chew and spit her out".

My assistant laughed "stahhpppp!".

"I'm serious coming at me so damn early about your daughter who got herself killed. Not my fault. Karma is a bitch! She killed my baby and someone took her ass out".

My assistant was in tears "Jaelynn stop please before I pee myself". Shaking my head "if this old bitch comes in here again call the police before I take her out myself".

When I got home I was still in a feisty mood. Letting down zahrie she ran off to play with her toys. Slamming my purse on the table I sighed loudly. Elijah came in and peeked at me "tough day?".

I nodded "tough ain't the word! Guess who came to my job today?".

He shrugged "who?".

"Alexis mother... and then the old lady tried to step to me" I said. Elijah couldn't help but laugh.

"What is so funny? I almost whooped an old lady's ass today and you standing there laughing" I said.

"It's funny because her mother tried stepping to you. But what she came there for?".

"I have no idea. Asking me questions about her daughters beef with me. I'm like correction I never had beef with your daughter it was vice versa. She didn't like that answer".

Elijah shook his head "lord she gets it from her momma".

I titled my head and gave him a blank look. He shrugged "what?".

"I'm just so over this Alexis bullshit. I don't know who killed her but everyone is looking at me like I hired someone to kill her and I didn't. If I know something I would've went to the cops but I don't!".

Elijah came over to me and hugged me "alright it's okay baby. Just relax. No need to get worked up over someone whose dead".

"Easy for you say. Your not the one getting blamed" I said.

"Listen let me run you a bath so you can relax and have some time for yourself. Then once I feel like you had enough time. I'm picking you up and taking you to the bedroom and well I'll make you feel a whole lot better" he smirked.

I smiled "I would love that". He patted my butt "well get upstairs baby". Skipping my way up the steps in excitement.

Tomorrow I'll worry about finding out who killed Alexis...
