“Mr. Milman.”
“What did you think of today’s meeting?” Jeremy asked.
Felicia leaned forward, thoughtful. “There are a few key areas that need some serious reworking…”
Jeremy nodded along, listening carefully as she laid out her ideas, never cutting her off. “Alright, can you put together a detailed plan for me?”
“I’ll get on it,” Felicia replied.
He closed his tablet, signaling the end of their session. “That’s enough for today. Go get ready. Let’s grab some dinner.”
Felicia agreed and headed out.
It was about eight when they sat down together at a seafood place.
Midway through the meal, Felicia’s phone rang. It was Anne.
Felicia answered, and Anne’s sweet voice came through. “Mommy, why are you eating so late?”
“I worked late tonight, so dinner’s running behind,” she explained.
Anne let out a little sigh. “Are you eating alone?”
“No, honey, I’m with my boss.”
“Is it Uncle Jeremy?”
Anne remembered visiting her mom’s office and meeting Jeremy before.
Felicia gave a soft hum of confirmation but didn’t stay on the phone long.
Once Anne hung up, she put her phone down and turned to Max, who was sitting beside her. Her little face was all scrunched up. “Dad, you should just marry Mom.”
Max slid an arm around her shoulders. “What’s going on, kiddo?” His voice was gentle.
Anne pouted, worry written all over her face. “Mom and Uncle Jeremy are always together. What if she starts to like him more? You need to make her like you faster so she’ll marry you instead. Then she won’t want to be with Uncle Jeremy.”
