Chapter 251
Nicolas
The next morning, I got up super early I needed to be at the office and call my PI and then I needed to talk to Luther and Jason about the wedding, well not to Luther about the wedding but definitely Jason. I told Geoffrey I would take a Uber he needed to stay at home to take Nikki to school. Maybe I should invest in another car for Nikki and Rika or is that taking it a bit far again. I should talk to Nicol about that. I was so quiet in the bathroom and walk in closet Nicol didn’t even move. I gave her a kiss on the forehead and made my way to where Isabella was making breakfast. “You up early.” She said. “I need to get a few 100 things done today, make sure Nikki eats before she leaves as well as Nicol.” I told Isabella “You do know Nicol is a grown women I can’t make her eat right.” “Okay fine.” I was a bit snappy maybe because I was nervous the journalist didn’t stick to his word. I grab the paper as I walked out of the building and open it as I got into the Uber. Thank God nothing about the engagement now I just have to check a few million social media outlets. When I got to work Jason was already there. “Nicolas?” He asked “Are you always so early?” I asked him without greeting him. “Yes, are you always so grumpy after you got engaged?” “Sorry morning Jason can I get some coffee please and then can you come to my office.” “Yes, off course.” I should definitely think of giving Jason a massive raise I mean it’s just past 6 in the morning and his already here.
Jason walked in with my cup of coffee and his notepad. “You going to tell me why you in a bad mood and here so early?” Jason asked. “Well, she didn’t say no if that is what you are thinking.” “Great congrats man, then what happened?” “The fucking paparazzi or journalist or whatever they call themselves these days. One was eating there and saw Nicol’s ring as we walked out, he even took photo’s I lost it Jason. I grabbed him and pushed him against the wall.” “Fuck and now, what is going to happen with your plan with Anton and Karen if this news comes out?” “The journalist gave me a week then his going public with the story.” “Oh fuck.” “Yes, my thoughts exactly so I need to call my PI and I need you to go through all the social media sights to make sure he has kept his word and then we want to get married as soon as possible, can you see what you can do with a wedding planner.” “How soon?” “Well yesterday.” “Fuck Nicolas that is going to be difficult most of the venues will be booked out already.” “Then we make a venue but get it done.” “Okay I’ll do my best.” “Thanks, you go do that so long and I’ll call my PI.” “You do know it’s only 6:30 right now?” “I don’t care I’ll pay him more but I need information.” “Okay just saying.”
When Jason left my office, I called Jeff his phone rang a few times before it went to voicemail. I waited 5 minutes and then I tried again. A very sleepy Jeff answered the phone. “What do you want?” “I want good news I need to know if we have anything on Karen’s dad I can use because my other plan might fall apart.” “Can you give me 10 minutes then I’ll call you back I just need to check on something.” “On what?” “For God sakes Nicolas give me 10 minutes.” He put the phone down in my ear leaving me to stew in my anger. I finished my one cup of coffee and got up to make another 10 minutes has past already and Jeff hasn’t come back to me yet. I wanted to pick the phone up and call him again but luckily Jason walked into my office. “The journalist kept his word there is no stories of you and Nicol anywhere but I did find something very interesting.” “I’m not in the mood for guessing games James. What have you found?” “This.” He put a piece of paper in front of me it was a picture of Karen and Anton and Karen had an engagement ring on. I smiled for the first time this morning. “Is this real?” “It was just released.” “But is this true? Who can we call and confirm this information?” “I’ll call Luther maybe one of them phoned him.” Jason said but as he left my office my PI called “Jeff what do you have for me?” “Well, if you weren’t so impatient I would have called you later I just had to make sure of one fact.” “And did you make sure?” “Yes, the information was confirmed William Malonie has taken an Anton on in his business apparently Anton will be the CFO of the company and this came after Anton asked Karen to be his wife.” “You lying?” “I am not.” “You 100% sure?” “I am I take it this was your plan all along, to get her to forget about you and take on another man which her daddy can groom into doing whatever he wants them to do.” “That would be correct, thank you Jeff you have made my day.” “Don’t worry it made my day as well I didn’t want to dig any further into the Malonie’s business.” “Well now you don’t have to and we can go on with our lives like they don’t exist.” “Well, I’m planning on doing exactly that.” Jeff said. “Thank you, Jeff thank, you so much.” We disconnected the call. I was very careful when it came to Karen and Anton those two are made from the same cloth both conniving, I just need to hear the information from Luther and I’ll be happy.
While I waited for Luther to get into the office, I made a list of things that needed to be done and then I realized we had a doctor’s appointment today, I should set my alarm because I was not missing our OBGYN appointment I wasn’t missing anything when it comes to our baby. I set my alarm and then I called Geoffrey to make sure he will be at my office at 1 pm to pick me up for our appointment. I just disconnected the call when there was a knock on my door and Luther popped his head into my office, he had a huge smile on his face. “Tell me it’s true?”
