Chapter Sixteen

Two weeks, that’s how long it took for the County Patrol officer to get the divorce papers to Cameron. He had told Charity that he would be staying at the Lake Resort, but the couriering officer could never find him there. The officer finally tracked him down at his agent's office. Some might think he was running from a warrant or something.

Charity wondered where he was every time she got the notification that the papers were undeliverable. Usually, once he returned from California and finished up meetings in town, he settled in at home till Christmas, busy writing his next novel. She hadn’t spoken to Nikki, and her fingers itched to give her a call just to see if the two had been shacking up together. But she resisted; that wasn’t her concern anymore.

When Cameron got the papers, he didn’t need to open them to know what they were. He took them straight to his lawyer's office and threw the sealed package on his desk.

“What's this?” Anthony Bachino asks from behind his mahogany desk.

“Divorce papers,” Cameron replies in a bored tone.

“Why are you giving them to me? I am not a divorce attorney.” Anthony pushes the package away and returns his attention to the computer monitor in front of him.

“No, but you are my attorney, and I pay you a lot of money.” Cameron runs a hand through his hair in frustration.

“I can give you a recommendation,” Anthony suggests.

“Just read them, contact her lawyer and see what she wants. If it's anything you can't handle, then we can talk about bringing in someone else.”

“You got it, boss.” Anthony rips open the packet and gets to work. Cameron helps himself to a glass of scotch from the bar. Anthony only has the high-end stuff, but Cameron doesn’t care; he is the one paying for it after all.

Half an hour goes by before Anthony finally sets down the papers and looks up at Cameron. By now, he is on his second glass. “Well, it's just your typical divorce papers. There are no demands; at least there aren’t any listed here. I assume we will need to sign these and then schedule mediation so you two can go over requests. What do you think she will want?”

“I have no idea, but I don’t really care. I don’t believe she will get greedy. As long as she doesn’t go for my balls, I think we will be okay.”

Somehow Mr. Anthony Bachino seemed to work magic with getting the mediation date expedited. Just a few days after receiving the notification that the papers were signed; Charity got an email from Jennifer saying they are set to meet on September 27th at 8 am. Suddenly Charity is nervous. It is all happening so fast. She hasn’t seen or spoken to Cameron since his visit with Bret. She wonders if he noticed the five-thousand dollar check she wrote out for her retainer. She figures if he did see it, he didn’t care.

Charity sends a return email confirming that she will be there and asks if there is anything she needs to prepare for beforehand.
