I woke to the most beautiful dream my little one was shacking me and then I realized it was not a dream. I could not help it I started to cry witch upset her until I told her they where happy tears she hugged me and said mommy pop-pop says not to worry we wont ever be apart again until I get married and that a long way off. I looked at her ans said pop-pop? yes that's what sir James said to call him because sir James was not proper for a girl my age to call him according to aunt Jane. and dad was not right because I was his ward not his daughter but it is really the same thing but you and he aren't married so pop-pop will have to do.(are you as confused as I was with out my coffee) good, she hopped off the bed and said sir started coffee and he put his sticky buns it the oven to stay warm (that's what she called cinnamon rolls) I'm off to the main house for breakfast pop-pop says I must be next to Jane when we have meals but for you ladies to take your time as you are just figuring things out he said you would know what that means. and like that she was off.
I lay in bed for a little time just trying to absorb it all in and wondering to myself what this all meant and came to no conclusions, before getting up putting something on and going to the kitchen found every one else up and sitting down to coffee and buns with debs saying wait till you taste them he makes them from scratch to his moms recipe and they are to die or kill for present company. The boss has his own coffee blend the milk is fresh from the cow. and when Mari and I sat down and tasted everything we had to admit she was right, then Mari said guy's do you have any idea what we are doing here sue and debs just looked at each other and said well I know why sue and i are here as to why he wants you two I have no idea but don't worry I;m sure he will explain or Jane will, around the second cup of coffee and buns with Mari on her third were such a little girl can put it I have no idea but she eats more then the rest of us and is thinner the the rest of us even Jane If you could believe it. there came a knock on the door and in comes Jane 6 inch heels thong and bra and that's it debs looks over and says oh an official visit Jane smiled and said yep now go make me tea be back in a sec; water is already on the heat.
Once she had her tea and sat down she just said OK shoot whats on your minds, Mari spoke first and simply said that's what we want to know what are your plans for us. Jane smiled and said that's up to you she turned to debs and sue and said are you happy with what was dropped in your laps they both said yes but were worried if they can handle it she smiled and said of course you can for the last few years you have been to every board meeting and asked me all kinds of questions after do you think other "security" people are allowed to sit in board meetings of course not you were there to learn how things are done sir way with me leading and that is what you will be doing from now on only in a field that you know from the inside out,and sir will be there if something comes up that you don't have an answer for on you own. and even if you mess up the worst that can happen is a little time bent over sirs knee and you will like even that. Mari for the next month you will be learning both personal and business etiquette the same for you Stacy but you will also be learning the financial operation of the family business because you have a brain for numbers and the personal stake of making sure little one will have what she needs and yes both sir and I know how special she really is and just how lucky we are to have her.
