BEING EVA

Chapter 13

Well lets see I had one interesting morning. After I slammed the door on Mark's ass I was welcomed by a very confused Claressa. After I explained everything that happened she nearly exploded. It took awhile to get her calmed down but after the third cup of coffee she was manageable. We are currently in my car on our way to the lawyers office to get the contract signed between us. After our meeting here I have six other appointment, all with real estate agents to show me condos around down town. What Claressa doesn't know is that in this contract I am also giving her our current apartment. I know she will hate me but I feel like I owe her.

"Hi Eva, your zoning out again come we are here!" Claresse says as she shakes my shoulder. I'm doing this zoning out thing quite often lately.

"Sorry, was just running through my appointments for the day."

We make our way to the lawyers office where we are greeted by Sally the receptionist.

"Hi Ladies haven't seen you here in a long time. They are waiting for you in the small board room to the left. Eva I believe your father is here as well." Sally always talks a mile a minute you don't get a word in until she gave you all the information she thinks you need to have. And did I just hear her right my father is here, what on earth is he doing here?

"Thank you Sally we will just go through"

"Hi Sally don't mind her she has a broom up her ass these last few days" Claressa says with a small giggle. I will deal with that comment later. A broom up my ass I mean really.

I walk down the hall towards the boardroom where they are all waiting for us. Now why would my father be here? I said that I will take care of my share. As we approach the boardroom I can see my father in a very serious conversation with Mr. Anderson my lawyer since my mother passed. By the look on Mr Anderson's face my father gave him shocking news. The boardroom has a small table that seats six people, the chairs are all black leather chairs and the table is off cherry wood, the walls are all glass, but they have like a sand blasted effect on that covers the bottom half of the glass. I lift my hand to knock when Claressa grabs my wrist.

"Eva did your father tell you to give you shares to me?" the woman always hits the nail on the head.

"He mentioned it, and I decided that it will be a good idea. I mean it will not be fair if I go travel for a year and you have to do all the work." I state trying to avoid her eyes. Before she could say anything else I knocked on the door and opened it entering the boardroom.

"Good morning Ms Walker right on time as always." Mr Anderson is in his mid forties but he has always treated me with respect.

"Good morning Mr Anderson, please call me Eva and yes it is a really bad habit of mine that I am trying to shake. You remember Claressa my partner in Larena Event Management."

"Yes of course how have you been Claressa?"

"Fine thank you Mr Anderson"

"Well lets get this done, I don't believe it will take to long Eva you sent me the mail through with the requests to amend your agreement. Well the paperwork is all done, Claressa we will just need you to read it and then both your signatures are required."

"Thank you Mr Anderson but I trust Eva just show me where to sign." Claressa says as she glares at me.

"Well if you are comfortable with that please follow me the contracts are on the table. There is three copies, one for each of you and then a copy for my office Claressa please sign at all the red tagged areas and Eva you can sign all the yellow tagged areas."

"Thank you Mr Anderson."

I walk over to the table and take a seat. I reach for the first contract but my father stops me.
