B oss to Boss

“I have something you might want to know about,” I say as I take a seat to have lunch with Tasha.
We’re at one of the newer versions of Club Desire. Many of the club’s owners, investors, and shareholders are now happily married men. Not wanting to ruin anyone else’s fun or to lose the lucrative income, the decision was made to come up with another version of the club.
There are now multiple locations around the world just like this one. The private cigar and spa house features some of the world’s most luxurious spa treatments and the best cigars and spirits known to man.
I’m talking facials, body wraps, and liquors that use twenty-four-karat gold. Cigars worth one point three million per stogie. Even some of the foods are made with expensive rare spices and gold leaf.
The place caters to a specific type of client. Tasha and I have meetings here once a week. I mean, her husband is an owner, so why not?
“Oh boy, what now? I see that look in your eyes. Whatever it is, I hope it has a quick fix. We have hours of planning to do for this retreat in Texas.”
“Funny you should mention Texas. I have a person of interest there,” I say.
“A problem we need to handle?” She lifts a brow at me and becomes more serious.
Out of curiosity, I decided to do my own digging into this Cameron Perry and his wife. I still plan to do as Symphony has asked, but I needed to know who we’re dealing with and who we’re potentially bringing into the fold.
I learned a few things about Cameron and Maribel Perry. They are not a problem, but they know of one we once had and could have in the future.
“No, not at the moment. Actually, let me state that properly. Sim came to me with a request. She wants Nico and Uri to offer a job to a batter named Cameron Perry.
“I looked into him and his wife, the friend she’s asking the favor on behalf of. On the surface, he’s a family man, but he’s very particular about allowing his family to be in the public eye.
“I found this to be interesting, so I did some more digging. I found the connection between our Sim and this wife. She was one of Symphony’s clients.
“She lived in Boston with Sim for a bit at the estate. She was actually in hiding with her for about six or seven months. But you’re not going to believe who she was hiding from.”
“I’m listening,” Tasha says as she narrows her eyes at me.
“Dez Demarco.”
“As in Alejandro Demarco’s younger brother?”
“One and the same.”
“Do as Sim asks. This will be interesting,” Tasha purrs.
“I thought you would say that.”
“Now, about this retreat. It is a business trip, but I want everyone to have fun. I also want Brad’s brother to feel like family.
“Bradley has asked for this favor because his brother Trevor needs a hand up. His soon-to-be ex-wife has made his life hell and he has four kids he’s done everything for. That’s our type of guy, LaSalle, and I want everything to work out for him.”
“Did we decide on whether or not I should just kill that bitch?”
I’ve never liked Brad’s sister-in-law. I wanted to take her head off years ago. The way she looked at my children and sized up my husband was enough for me to offer to kill her.
“No, there has not been a decision made as of yet,” Tasha replies.
“Oh, you will decide in my favor. I know you will. Let’s get this planning done. I’m ready to head to Texas,” I say with a smile.
