Chapter 14

By the time Justin arrived at his office building it was nearly one.

“You’re pretty casual today, Mr. Lawson,” his assistant teased.

“Hectic morning. Any messages?”

“A few.” She handed him the slips of paper. “Mr. Hurley stopped by to see you. He asked that you give him a call when you get in.”

“Thanks.” He started for his office.

“Mr. Lawson...”

He stopped and turned. “Yes?”

“You have a three o’clock with Mr. Turner on his infringement case. Do you want to reschedule?”

“No. Thanks. Pull the files. We can meet in the small conference room.”

“I already have it blocked for you from three to four.”

“Hopefully it won’t take that long,” he said.

“I allowed for Mr. Turner’s long-windedness.” She smiled.

Justin went into his office and locked the door. He got out of his sweater and jeans and changed into his dark blue Italian-made business suit, winter-white shirt and pinstriped navy tie. He took his black wingtips from the bag and slid them on his feet. Reviewing his messages he decided that they all could wait until he’d spoken with Mr. Turner.

The afternoon sped by and true to form his client, Mr. Turner, took up the entire hour—all of which was billable.

Justin loosened his tie and put in a call to Carl, who told him that he’d gotten a call from the Realtor, and he had a place for them to look at that evening. Justin told him they’d have to ride together as Bailey had his car. Carl couldn’t hide his shock knowing how much Justin loved that car. He’d never let anyone drive it—ever—not his siblings and not even him—his best friend.

“She got you whopped, my brother,” Carl taunted.

“Call it whatever you want to call it. Just meet me out front at five-thirty.”

Carl chuckled. “See you then.”

Justin disconnected the call, sat back and gazed upward. Bailey Sinclair had certainly done something to him. Whatever it was, he liked it.

The space was located in Downtown Baton Rouge, about a mile away from their current office. It was a suite on the tenth floor, with space for reception and enough cubicle space for at least four employees with an additional two small offices.

“What do you think?” the Realtor asked once they’d completed the tour.

Justin exchanged a look with Carl. “It has everything that we’re looking for. How long would the lease be?”

“We can do a one year or a two.”

“How soon do you need an answer?” Carl asked.

“As soon as possible. Space in downtown is premium and rare, especially at this price.”

Justin slung his hands into his pockets. “We’ll get back to you first thing in the morning.”

“Fair enough.” He led them out and locked up.

“It’s your call, man,” Carl said as they pulled away from the building.

“I think it will suit our purposes as a start-up. We don’t need more space than this. I would have preferred a stand alone, but I think this will work.”

“I’m down if you are.”

Justin grinned. “Then I guess we go for it.”

“I’ll give him a call in the morning.
