checking up on renovations for the new group home

Lena's: POV
I figured since I was out running errands
I would swing by the new house for the new group home. To see how things were coming along with the renovations, when I pulled up to the house there were a bunch of work men painting the inside, l don't remember asking the contractor to do any work on the outside. It's a good thing
I stopped by, Lena exited her vehicle and went inside. She noticed a few repairs had been taken care in the living room such as a brand new flooring that had been put down, she walked further into the kitchen and saw new cabinets and a whole new countertop that was replaced. Lena didn't care for the old one, Lena was impressed by how much time the guys put in. Mrs. Adams, l was wondering when you would be stopping by to see what we've done so far with the place Sam the head contractor says to me. I don't remember asking your crew to do anything outside l wished you would have called me before taking upon yourselves to paint, you do know l'm paying for that right Lena states as she glares at the man hard. I know we had an agreement l'm sorry l thought you said do the outside Sam lies thinking he's going to get paid extra, Sam l had my lawyer draw up contracts. And you signed them so don't even try to run this bull shit game on me
This was not what we discussed l could Sue you for not following direct orders it's a good thing l came by when I did so how much longer do you have until your finished up with everything Lena inquires
Sam looks over his notes before responding to Lena's question. I wanna say that your house should be up and running in two months or longer Sam smiles, but Lena didn't find anything humor in Sam's statement. Sam l'm running low on patients
You told me in the beginning it would take you two months did you or did you not tell me this when I asked Lena said, l know that's what I said initially sometimes plans changed unexpectedly a business woman like yourself knows these types of issues can't be rushed Sam Stated. Please don't insult my intelligence you know what l am you and your team three weeks if I don't see any progress your fire do l make myself clear Lena walked out of the house without giving Sam a chance to respond, the men watched her get in her car and drove out
Sam l don't think that lady is playing around. did you really sign a contract,
Can she really take us to court Dave asks
I'm afraid so my friend Sam replies
What are we gonna do Sam l have a family to feed Dave States, trust me she's trying to scare me. But deep down inside Sam is worried about his reputation, he's been in the contracting business for years and Sam has done work with some top known rich celebrities. So he can't offord to mess up this project, Dave l think it's going to be all nighter if we want to get the renovations done in two months sam explains. They go back in the house,
