Ellie

"Ellie have we got anymore carrot cake?" Helen one of my employees shouted through the little window
"Coming right up" I shouted back.

Only 20 more minutes until we close thank god it's been a busy day.
"Ellie.. there's someone here to see you" Helen came through to my office. I sighed what now.
"Send them in Helen" I told her

In walks this woman in beautiful shoes and a cream dress.
"Miss fox I'm Stacey freemantle I work for the perecmen firm. I'm here on behalf of your ex husband.." my stomach dropped.
"Miss freemantle, my husband and I have been divorced for 6 months there isn't possibly anything you can do" I sat up straight trying to assert some sort of dominance

"I'm here to tell you that your husband is suing you for half of your company"
I stared at her in disbelief
"Your joking?" I almost laughed at her she shook her head "I'm afraid not Miss Fox I will see you in court" with that she handed me the paperwork and left.

now I need a lawyer. Now I'd normally call my dad. But he has moved back to the Uk so it's not as easy. I find myself letting a few tears slip out of my eyes.

"Ellie I'm going now see you tomorrow!" Helen shouted I wiped my eyes and put a smile on my face. I can't let anyone see my emotions right now.

"Bye Helen, hey take tomorrow off! Spend some time with those beautiful children of yours!" I hug her as she leaves with a great big smile and a thank you she leaves.

It's about 10:30pm now. And I'm sat in the restaurant I spent 2 years building this company..
Foxy Foods
I'd always dreamed of owning my own bakery and restaurant. Breakfast lunch and dinner with cake in between or whenever you wanted! All my own recipes..

What am I going to do..
