Aeryn Reynolds had a perfect day going on; her restaurant was bustling with customers and she couldn't be any happier about it until Everette Wilbrose walked in and Aeryn's daughter decided to play matchmaker for them.
Some bad choice of words from...
I slowly opened my eyes and came face to face with Everette who was glaring at me, his face showed signs of displeasure.
"I just woke up. What did I do now?", I questioned.
His lips were pressed into a thin line and gestured down to his hand. I looked down and saw I was holding onto his hand tightly as if my life was dependent on it.
A blush crept up my neck and I immediately removed my hand feeling embarrassed.
Rolling his eyes, he got up and went inside the washroom.
What a start to the morning!
Yawning, I got up and firstly messaged Harper inquiring about the restaurant as I left it in her care.
I spent the next fifteen minutes scrolling through the phone. The door of the washroom opened and Everette stepped out dressed in a black suit.
"Are you going somewhere?"
He was standing infront of the mirror combing his hair, he glanced at me through the mirror. "Yes. Business meeting."
"Oh. Good. Enjoy there", I said sarcastically.
One side of his lips curled up into a smirk. "You are coming with me."
"What?!"
"You are coming with me to the meeting. I am not leaving you here. God knows what you will do."
I got and placed both my hands on my hip. "I am not a kid. I can take care of myself. I am not going to some boring meeting with you."
He put down the comb and came closer to me. His cologne invaded my mind. Mmm... that's a nice cologne.
"Get ready, Aeryn. We will get late. I won't repeat myself."
"I am not going with you. And even I won't repeat myself."
He turned away from me and muttered, "Fine. Don't come with me. I was thinking of exploring a few places after the meeting with you."
"Give me twenty minutes", I mumbled walking past him and into the washroom.
. . .
I opened my hair letting it fall over my shoulder and checked myself in the mirror.

Grabbing my handbag I went out in the living room where he was waiting for me. He looked up from his phone and scanned me for a second before subtly nodding and asked me to follow him.
