Day to Day Chapter 10
Day To Day Chapter 10
Megan woke the next morning with the sun shining brightly through the crack in the curtains. She got up and poured herself a hot cup of coffee from the pot she had put on the night before, while admiring the view. She never got sick of it. Jon was right about that.
She reflected on the night before. Surprisingly she really enjoyed the time she spent with Jon, and also the lovely wine. She could still smell his cologne. Her body willfully responded at the memory of being close to him again. It surprised her.
She showered quickly and dressed before packing her things. She enjoyed having one last look around the room before leaving. SO taking a moment after all her things were packed Megan just stood in the centre of the room and took everything in. It was almost like a second home to her now. Over the years she had been privileged to stay in some beautiful places. The Archibald however was always her favourite. It had a large array of facilities which suited and accommodated the foundations needs perfectly. Many fund raisers were held here over the years. She left the room closing the door behind her.
Megan entered the elevator and made her way down to the lobby where Damien and the other staff were waiting for her. After a brief meeting they made their way to the valet who already had their cars waiting. Damien was loading the bags into the trunk when he noticed Jon coming towards them. “Megan” he said “I think we have company. Hot man approaching”
She looked in the direction that Damien was indicating. She saw Jon Coming and went towards him. “Good morning” he said.
“Good morning Jon” She replied.
The conversation flowed easily. Jon thanked her for a lovely evening. The 2 became engrossed in conversation while Damien finished loading the car. Jon was surprised at how comfortable she was becoming in his presence. It was time to put the next part of his plan into action.
Damien, a little jealous that she was getting all of Jon’s attention, reminded her that she had a schedule to keep. She really needed to get going.
“Would you consider meeting me for lunch one day when I am back in town?”
“Sure, absolutely”, she said, “That would be lovely”
He smiled that dazzling smile at her and kissed her lightly on the cheek and she left the Archibald.
Damien was the one person who knew her best. He had spent 10 years as her personal assistant. Although she knew he didn’t know everything about her he thought he did. And he found this thing, whatever it was with Jon a bit disconcerting.
“Are you going to tell me what that was all about?” He asked her as the car drove away from the Archibald.
“No” she simply said as the corners of her mouth turned up as she quickly reminisced.
Damien knew he would find out one way or the other. He also knew he didn’t want Megan having anything to do with Jon. He just wasn’t sure why yet, but it gave him a bad vibe. There was obviously a history between them. He had already figured that out, although he didn’t know what it was. It was time to do some discreet fishing. Very discreetly of course. He couldn’t have Megan knowing what he was doing. He knew Megan’s schedule. So eventually he would get to the bottom of this.
The next few days were so busy for Megan and the Foundation. They had to arrange the payment and delivery of all the items from the last auction. Once that was complete there was the careful dispersement of funds raised. Megan was so busy that she hardly had time to think of Jon. She felt more relaxed and there was a feeling of inner peace. Kind of like closure. The time she had spent talking to him did her the world of good. She even felt as though they had a secret bond that only the two of them knew about. Damien was rather annoyed too at how busy they were. He really wanted to get his snooping done, but he couldn’t with Megan around. He knew she would be out tomorrow. She had an appointment for lunch with Krystal. He would have at least 2 hours then.
Megan met with Krystal at the Sunburst café on Main St. This was her favourite place to visit. She was very glad she made the reservation. The place was almost packed. Megan was sitting in a sunny corner of the garden when Krystal arrived.
“Hi Meg”, she said. Leaning in to kiss her friend. “Have you recovered from the big night?”
Laughing, Megan said, “Yes I think so. Did you enjoy yourself?”
“Yes I did” was her friends reply.
“You disappeared suddenly, where did you get to?” Or more to the point with whom?”
Krystal laughed and said, “Ah, that’s top secret.”
“You tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine.”
“And what secrets would you have that I don’t already know about?”
“Ha, if I told you Krystal you would die of shock”
As soon as Megan left Damien finished his work as fast as he could so that he would have plenty of time to snoop. She wasn’t due back until 2:15. So he closed and locked the door to his private office. He took the key from its hook on Megan’s wall, and began by opening the drawer to her desk. Looking through everything as carefully and as methodically as he could being sure not to mess anything. Megan was meticulous, she always had everything in order. She kept records of all the deals they had, she probably had receipts for bread and milk she brought in 1995. He knew there had to be something here to give him a clue. All he had to do was find it. He nearly jumped a mile and he is sure his heart skipped a beat when the phone rang.
“Hi Damien, This is Jon is Megan in?”
“No, she isn’t as a matter of fact” Thank goodness he thought to himself. Now hurry up and get off the phone I have very important work to do. “She is out to lunch with Krystal”
“lovely, would you mind giving me her Cell number so I can reach her?”
“Yes I do mind. I’ll take a message and pass it on to her.”
“Damien, please just give me the number so I can call her then I will be out of your hair.”
Damien realizing that arguing with Jon was seriously cutting into the small amount of time he had to search for whatever it was that he was looking for reluctantly gave in to his persistent demands and transferred the call to her cell.
