I smiled. “Are you actually prepared for the work?”
“I’ll try, that’s all I can give you right now.
“That’s all I’m asking.”
We were back in the office, and I leaned over Jameson’s shoulder as I directed on some things to work on. Then I headed to see Mrs. Titan.
“Knock, knock.” I smiled.
Chapter Ten
BRIELLE
Eleanor looked up at me. “Come in, dear. Have a seat. Tell me, how are things coming along?”
I took a deep breath and then explained everything to her. “Before today, I would have said he still had a lot of work ahead of us. But after today and what I showed Jameson, I think he is finally coming around to the idea, but I don’t want to push it too hard right now. I am just now scratching under the surface.”
“I am very pleased to hear this, Brielle. They said you were the best, and I’ve already seen some improvement. Do you think you can convince him to attend the next charity function?”
“I’m sure I can get him to.”
Eleanor stood, extending her hand. “Thank you so much for updating me. I’d like to pay for you and a friend to have a spa day.”
I chuckled nervously. “That won’t be necessary.”
“Please, I insist.”
Excited, I said, “Okay. I’d like that.”
She seemed pleased. “I’ll set it up and send you the details.”
“Thank you so much.”
“Of course. Have a good day.”
“You too.”
I headed back to Jameson’s office. He doesn’t look up when he asks, “Where did you run off to?”
“I had a short meeting with your mother.”
This time, he did look up. “Were you reporting to her about me?”
For some reason, I didn’t want to answer him, one, I didn’t want to set him off. And two, I didn’t want to mess up to progress we made.
“Brielle,” his voice was firm.
“She wanted to know if I could get you to attend a charity function.”
“Ah. Are you going?”
“More than likely.”
“Then you can tell me all about it when it’s over.”
I rolled my eyes.
“I don’t know why you have to be so difficult.” I stormed out of his office, desperately needing some fresh air.
