Chapter eight
Vivian
Let me know when you’re done and I’ll meet you at Java Jive.
Ryan
The class would appreciate an update, ma’am.
Me
Just got done, it went well, and don’t ma’am me. I’m barely older than you. Viv, I’ll meet you there in fifteen.
Jack
Did you like Ms. Lawrence? Did you sign the agreement?
Me
Yes and the retainer should go through today. Thanks for helping me with this, Jack. I really don’t know what I would do without you guys.
Jack
Nope, you don’t need to thank me. You’re family and we show up for each other.
Finn
Without question or hesitation.
Me
Did Daphne inform you who Ms. Lawrence is related to? That’s her married name, btw.
Jack
…No?
Me
Her maiden name is Smith-Harrington, as in Theo’s sister.
Liam
lol. Shane’s going to be so pissed. I love it.
Vivian
No way!!!
Me
Pippa is great though, I think she’s the perfect person for the job. And yes, Shane is going to be livid, which makes me so, so happy… Especially when he sees Theo in court. He thought it would “be fun” to join his sister for the next court date.
Jack
Fantastic. Call after you meet with Viv so we can have a quick conference call with my private banker and we can get you that card by end of day.
Liam
It’s not an attorney but check your email. I added you to my grocery and personal shopper service, just charge it all to the account. Also, just to be safe, please change your email passwords again, just in case. If he can’t access your accounts, he can’t shut them down.
Liam
If you think of anything else, just text me. I’m out of the country but you can reach me via text.
Me
Thanks, Liam. Please be safe.
Finn
My offer to go punch him in the face stands.
Ryan
It’s not a face punch, but I spoke with the hospital’s CEO this morning.
We will be switching from Brown, Lewis, & Williams to Smith and Harrington by the end of the month.
They’ve been wooing us for a while, but I was holding out because of loyalty to Shane.
Also, my golf buddy is going to spread the word through the club that Shane is persona non grata at the country club.
Finn
WTH? You guys are making me look bad. Now I HAVE to go punch him in the face!!
Me
No physical violence that could hurt my court case, please.
Finn
Don’t think I didn’t notice you said “physical violence” so any other warfare tactics are acceptable then… did you hear that Liam?
Liam
There are so many other creative options outside of physical tactics …
Finn
But seriously, if you need anything around the house, please call me.
Me
Of course, but let’s be honest, I would’ve called you to fix anything at the house even before this bullshit.
Vivian
It’s going to be OK, Sav. We’ve got you!
