mother and spun her around in glee. The fact that Victoria called and seemed jealous, was great news. It was simple, she missed him!
“I’ ve never seen you like this, your father must be losing his touch ,” his mother smirked.
She knew the man well and knew about the arranged marriage business deal. If it was left to Harmon, everyone around him would be miserable as long as he got what he wanted. She would never forget what he did to reach where he was in life and she waited for the day when some would bring him to his knees.
Harriet was a beautiful woman in her early fifties, looking a decade younger than her age. The only tell-tale signs of aging was her graying hair which she refused to color. The dark hair with the silver streaks looked absolutely gorgeous on her and many people thought the streaks were done at the salon.
Harmon had abandoned her twelve years ago when the company started getting back on its feet. He was an evil man and she would never forget how cruel he had been to her and his own son. He made it clear that if Koltan had no intention of working in the company then he would disregard him as his son. This was the reason she had encouraged him to join his father. This was the one way to secure his future sine the man had left her destitute and in need.
“ Mom, I know what you are thinking. Please, h e’ s not worth it ,” Koltan broke t her thoughts .“ On a happier topic. Victoria works with me and she is beautiful. If all goes well, I’ ll let you meet her soon . ”
“ Okay, I’ d like that very much . ”

Marcy Hendricks was not easy to find. Sh e’ d moved several times during the last fourteen years and it seemed the last move was out of state. The last landlord gave Victoria a forwarding address but no phone number. The landlord told her that the address was two years old and tha t’ s where h e’ d been sending her mail.
She took the address and left feeling disappointed. If she wished to speak with the Marcy person, she would have to go out of town for a few days. That could be arranged, but she did n’ t want to go alone. She wondered if maybe Eli would consider going with her. The man was so secretive that she was certain he would turn her down.
Koltan was returning in two days so she put in for time off and made the arrangements to fly to New York to find Marcy. She felt childish for playing such games, but she wanted to feed him some of the medicine h e’ d dished her by not calling and having a woman in his hotel room. When he got back she would be gone.
Eli proved not to be as bad as sh e’ d imagined. When she asked, he agreed to go with her if she stood the expense. She left her hotel information with Beth and told her only to call in case of emergencies. He met her at the airport looking much different from what sh e’ d expected. His baseball cap was gone, his face clean shaven and he was wearing a suit. He looked like any other businessman going on a trip.
“ Wow, you surprise me ,” she told him at the entrance to the airport.
“ I did n’ t want to embarrass you. I knew yo u’ d probably be wearing a suit ,” he replied with a grin.
Something was different about him ,“ Are you going to tell me exactly who you are? You were so secretive before. Why the sudden change ? ”
They entered the reception and checked into their flight .“ Harmon is an evil man, I was n’ t sure what he would have done if he found out I had n’ t left the country. But now that h e’ s dying, I fee l…,” he was saying.
“ What? Dying? What do you mean dying ? ”
“ He has some rare disease that ca n’ t be cured. The old bastard is going to die soon ,” Eli told her, still grinning.
This was n’ t going down well. Will all my hard work be in vain? How is Koltan dealing with this?
At that question she paused .“ Is that why he resigned ?” she wondered out
