Chapter Twenty-Four

Laurel

“Good morning, Eric.” I brightly smiled as I strolled into his office.

“Good morning, Laurel. How are you today?” he asked with concern.

“I’m fantastic! I was going to call you last night, but I fell asleep. I want to talk to you about something.”

“Of course. Have a seat. Can I get you something? Coffee? Water?”

“No thanks. Listen, I want to document my brain tumor journey from start to finish for the magazine.”

“Are you sure?” His brows furrowed.

“Yes. Of course. So, what do you think?”

“I think it’s a good idea, if you’re up to it.”

“I already started on it last night and I’m going to go work on it in my office.” I smiled.

“To be honest with you, Laurel, I didn’t think you’d be coming in this week.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.” He shrugged. “I just thought maybe you’d want to stay home and prepare for Friday.”

“What’s to prepare for?”

He turned his chair around and faced the window behind him.

“Eric?”

“Yeah. Just give me a minute, okay?”

“For god sakes. You better not be crying!”

I got up from my seat, walked over to him, and placed my hand on his shoulder.

“I’m going to be fine,” I softly spoke as I stared out the window.

“I know.”

“Obviously, you don’t, because you cry every time I see you.”

“I’m an emotional person. I can’t help it,” he spoke.

“Since when?” My brows furrowed.

I went to my office and the moment I sat down, George walked in.

“I’m surprised to see you here.” A grin graced his lips.

“Why does everyone say that? Eric just said the same thing. Why wouldn’t I be here?”

“I don’t know. You were kind of not coming in for a few days.”

“Well, now I know why I wasn’t. But now I know what my problem is and I’m not letting it control me.” I arched my brow. “Eric started crying again.”

“He’s worried about you, Laurel. You’re like a daughter to him.”

“That’s sweet, but he doesn’t have to worry. I’m going to be fine.”

“I know you will be.” He smiled. “Some people are more sensitive to it than others. For example, if I were in your shoes, I’d be scared to death. But you’re not. You’re so calm about it.”

“I can’t change the fact that I have a brain tumor and need surgery, so what’s the point of worrying about it or making myself sick over it?”

“I understand completely what you’re saying, and I agree. I’m just saying that some people can’t take the news very well. But you’ve always been so strong, and you’re right. When all is said and done, and that damn tumor is out of your head, you’ll be as good as new.” He walked over and kissed my forehead. “I have a meeting with the design department. I’ll talk to you later.”

“Have fun.” I smiled.

I sat there, staring at the wall in deep thought, when my phone dinged with a text message from Hannah.

“Just confirming that we’re still on for tonight at six o’clock.”

Shit. I’d forgotten. It was a good thing she confirmed.

“Yes. Wyatt and I will see you at the penthouse at six.
