《My famous boss (gxg)》Chapter 69
Advertisement
I just landed in San Francisco airport. I walk to the pick up area and through the last gate when I see that there are people waiting for me. What gave it away? There is literally a cardboard sign the size of a door that says Agnes Adams.
I guess they used my legal name. Since I'm put in as Agnes into the paperwork.
They escort me to a car and drive me to the meeting right away.
"Are you hungry miss?" One man asks
"Not really. I'm fine thank you." I say
"This meeting might take longer than expected. I was asked to offer to drive you to have a bite to eat." He says
"Is there a starbucks nearby?" I ask
"Just down the street."
"May we go there? I'll get something to eat and coffee." I say
"Yes of course. We'll be here waiting for you." He says and I nod.
I walk to the shop and order a caramel latte and a big muffin. I am not too hungry right now. I walk back to the building and I have an entourage to the conference room. Is everyone at this meeting fancy? What is going on?
.
After three excruciatingly painful hours, the meeting is over. I went to my hotel and dialed Scarlett's number.
"Hey, I just got back from the meeting. How are you honey?" I ask as she answers.
"I'm great. I'm actually in San Francisco too remember?"
"Oh right. Where are you staying?" I ask
"At a hotel." she says
"Which one?" I ask again.
"The Ritz-Carlton. Why?"
"No way, I'm there too. What floor are you on?" I ask surprised
"I don't know, the fifth?" She asks
"I'm on the eight floor, room number 308. If you want to come here I'll be pleased." I say
"How about we meet in the lobby in 15 minutes? Then we can go grab a bite to eat." She offers.
"Good idea. I'll see you then." I say
"Alrighty bye." She says and hangs up.
What are the odds that we would choose the same hotel? I mean there are dozens of hotels around town.
I change into some comfortable trousers and I put on some converse. I am going out to eat. Not to a fancy restaurant. After I changed and fixed my makeup, I gathered my things and headed to the elevator. I found the lobby empty so I leaned on the wall and waited for the two blondes. She told me she brought Rose with her. I can't wait to spend the day with the two of them. First impressions are important, I mean it is not the first one. But this time I am not payed by her mum. I hope she likes me around them.

The elevator dings and the two beautiful blondes walk out. I hug Scarlett and then crouch down to say hi to Rose.
"Hey Pumkin' I don't know if you remember me. I'm Lena." I say with a smile on my face.
"Are you mommy's and granny's friend?" She asks
"Yes, I went to the zoo with you and your granny once." I say
"You're Lena?!" She asks excited
"Yes, like I said." I say confused.
She jumps at me and I catch her in my arms.
"I still have your stuffed animal, it's my favourite" She says as I pick her up.
"That's great Rosie."
"Rose honey, how about we walk to the restaurant? Lena can't carry you."
"Why?" She asks grabbing me tighter.
"Because you're not as light as you once were. Lena will get tired." Scarlett says.
"How about I put you here?" I ask as I grab onto her and pick her up above my head. She swings her legs around my shoulders and grabs onto my arms.
"See, now I won't get as tired." I say and Rose giggles.
Scarlett rolls her eyes and shrugs her shoulders at that.
"let's go then." She says and we begin to walk out.
"There is this great restaurant just a block away, hope you don't mind." She says
"Oh not at all. I enjoy walks." I say
As we walk we chat along the way. Nothing too serious. A dog appears out of no where, Scarlett is scared I can tell. She grabs onto my hand firmly as we walk by it. She intervenes her fingers with mine and I stay in shock. There are tons of people around. Anyone could see us holding hands. Not just that. I have her daughter on my shoulders. Maybe she's not afraid of the public knowing about us.
We arrive to the restaurant and I put Rose down. She grabs onto her mum's hand and we walk inside. Scarlett called ahead and booked us a private table so we could eat in peace.
"So, are you tired from the trip?" She asks
"Not really. I am sort of used to make the best out of a flight." I say smiling at her.

"Lena, how old are you?" Rosie asks
"I'm thirty, why?"
"You're too old to play princesses with me." She says
"Oh you take that back." I say jokingly and tickle her little tummy. I know she's ticklish because of Melanie.
The waiter comes and we order drinks and what we would like to eat.
I get a call from Edward? I get up and go to the bathroom to answer it.
"Hey, I'm so glad I got a hold of you." He says out of breath.
"Hey hey calm down what is it?" I ask
"Your uncle...Tom, he um..he tried breaking into our estate." He says.
"And?" I ask
"He came in and when the guards caught him my father went out. He lied that you sent him."
"I never even talked to him. Last thing I know he threatened me when he visited." I say furious now.
"Thats what I thought. Wait he threatened you? You should have told me I could have closed his mouth shut." He says.
"I can handle myself. So what happened with Tom?" I ask
"He's laying unconscious in the living room. They beat the shit out of him." He says
"So why did you call me?" I ask
"To make sure I was right. That you would never send someone to do that." He says
"Oh Ed, I have far grater concerns than my lunatic uncle, I'll tell you that." I say and he chuckles.
"Where are you? I called your house phone, your office, everywhere."
"I came to San Francisco for a conference." I say
"Is your girl with you?" He asks
"Yes." I say with red cheeks.
"Then I won't hold you any longer. You go enjoy your time. I'll notify you when the asshole wakes up." He says
"Okay, thank you." I say
"Have a lovely time Lena." He says and hangs up.
Woah. That was unexpected, and fairly comforting. Huh. He got what he deserved that is definite.
I walk back to the table and it looks like the food arrived just moments ago.
"Hey, everything okay?" Scarlett asks
"Perfect, just family drama." I say smiling at her.
She gives me an apologetic smile and nods. She won't drop it I could tell.
After the meal was over I paid and we left. Scarlett was not happy about it, but I don't give two shits about that.
"Can you carry me again Lena?" Rosie asks, sort of tiredly.
"Of course hun, come here." I say and grab her differently now. She snuggles her head in my chest and I hold on tightly.
Scarlett looks at us with the biggest smile as we walk back to the hotel. We walk into the elevator and she presses the button for their floor. Little Rose fell asleep in my arms and it was the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Just completely adorable.
We walk into their room and Scar tells me which of the beds is Rose's. I put her down onto the bed and take off her shoes. She wakes up so Scar immediately makes her change her clothes so she could sleep properly.
"I don't want her to go when I wake up." Rose says groggy.
"I'll be right here darling." I say and she nods.
She falls asleep in seconds so Scarlett and I walk to the other room. She makes sure it is closed before she speaks up again.
"you're amazing with her." She says and sits down next to me on the sofa.
"You really think so?" I ask
"She is never like this with anyone. I know it us not the first time, but still. She seems to really like you." She says
"Well I like her too. She's a sweet kid." I say and Scarlett smiles at that.
But I love her mummy the most.
