“Mr. Chester will see you now.” The lady at the front desk pointed us in the direction of Ivan’s office.

“Mrs. Long!” Ivan exclaimed as soon as I entered. He greeted me with a confident handshake. “You look fabulous today,” he complimented me.

“Thank you, Ivan.”

“And it’s good seeing you again too, Ms. Long. It’s been a while,” he greeted Jamela.

God, I hated having to share my last name with her. But now that her father was gone, I wouldn’t have to put up with her for much longer. Soon, Jamela would just be an insignificant thing of the past. Maybe I’d even go back to my maiden name. Really start life over from the beginning.

“Ladies, shall we have a seat at my desk?” Ivan suggested. After he got us bottled water and took out all the paperwork, we were finally ready to get the meeting started.

“Ladies, before we begin, I must inform you that this entire proceeding will be recorded for legal purposes. This is the device that I will be using to record.” He pointed down to a small rectangular device that had two small lights on it, along with a stop and go button. It reminded me a little bit of a cassette player from back in the day. “When the light is green, that means the meeting has commenced. Please let me know when you are ready to begin.”

“I am ready,” I said as I straightened up in the chair.

“Ready,” said a nervous-looking Jamela. It brought me joy to see her so uncomfortable.

Without saying anything further, Ivan nodded his head and pressed the go button on the device. The green light turned on, and Ivan leaned in toward the recorder.

“This is Ivan Chester from Chester and Chester Attorneys at Law. Today is Wednesday, October eleventh, and we are here for the reading of the will for Victor Long. Present at the reading of the last will and testament of Victor Long is the surviving lawful wife as registered by the State of California, Glendora Long. Also present is his surviving biological daughter, Jamela Long.”

Ivan picked up the will and brought it to his face. He began reading directly from the document. “As written in the will: ‘I, Victor Long, residing at 1201 Rancho Alisal Drive, Santa Ynez, California, declare this to be my will, and I revoke any and all prior wills and codicils I have previously made with the exception of privileges made in my will created with my widower Arlene Long concerning Jamela Long’s inheritances.”

I was beginning to lose my patience listening to all the legalities. I wished Ivan would just skip to what I came here for.

“Remaining privileges exempted from the will concern the transfer of ownership of Long’s Soul Food chain of restaurants. When Jamela Long reaches the age of majority, I authorize the transfer of ownership for Jamela Long to become legal CEO of all Long’s Soul Food restaurants and possible future chains.”

“Wait a minute!” I interrupted. “What the hell do you mean
