"Wow, so are you going to do it?"
"No. He plans to call his girlfriend, Ashley, to come take care of him. I just need to send a training schedule over."
"Sounds simple, so what's the real problem?"
"There is no problem."
"You know I can tell when you are lying. You bite the inside of your cheek, like you are now."
"Damn. Okay, I'm not sure why I feel like someone is taking over my job, but I do. We all know I'm the best at what I do, but having a client who doesn't want me to help them feels like a challenge to me. I don't know, because this is Will Anderson we are talking about. Mr. I'm perfect, and everyone is supposed to want me or want to be me."
"Is he still like that?" Leia asks.
"I'm sure. Leopards never change their spots."
"Hmmm," Leia says, taking a sip of her wine.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask.
"Nothing, just thinking that maybe you should reconsider working with him. I know how important it is to you for everyone to have the best care, and you are not going to be happy unless you have your fingers on the treatment."
Hmmm, true, but I don't know."
"I know you'll make the right decision, regardless of what you decide," Leia tells me with a smile.
"I guess we will see," I say, my thoughts getting away from me.
Leia looks at her watch. "Oh, I need to go. I promised Noah I would meet him at the station to get dinner. For what it's worth, I'm glad you are my sister."
"Me too, Leia," I tell her sincerely as we both stand and hug.
"I'll call you later, and we will plan the girl's night, since we are going to need to tell Emily about all this."
"Hahaha, that's very true. We will need to do it soon."
"Agreed. Talk to you later."
"Be safe," I tell her before she leaves, and I sit back down to finish my wine, and mull over my thoughts.
CHAPTER7
WILL
"How come you didn't say anything about going out of town for business until today?" I ask dad.
"I had hoped it wouldn't be an issue if Krista was willing to take you on as a client. She would ensure you didn't do anything you weren't supposed to do."
"I don't need Krista. I promise not to overdo anything or do anything I'm not supposed to, and if I do get injured, I promise to call someone, but I will check with Ashley and see if she's available to come stay while you are gone."
"As long as someone is here with you. I hate that I have to leave you during this time, but it can't be helped. It's not something that can be rescheduled. I'm sorry, Son."
"It's fine, dad. Everything will be good. I won't do anything to jeopardize my career."
"I know, son. I know how important your career is to you," dad says solemnly as he walks away.
I make a mental note to call Ashley later and ask her about coming, until then, I turn the volume up on the tv to hear what the sportscasters are saying about the Hummingbirds and McHenry.
"Hey Ashley," I say when she answers the phone. "How is everything going?"
