The Setup 💕

Chapter 2

Will is in a meeting with Series Shoes. A businesswoman holding a shoe in a suit is standing in front of the room giving a presentation. She then passes the shoe over to the person on her left, who also passes the shoe to the next person over until it reaches Will. Will holds the shoe and examined it.

Kelly walked into the large conference room that seated twelve with a large oversized table and overhead projector and television mounted on the wall. She quietly walked over to Will and placed the note card in front of him.

"Thank you!" He whispered to her. Kelly walked out of the conference room quietly, closing the wooden door behind her.

He quickly looked over the note. Then back to the women at the front of the room giving a presentation.

Will's meeting has ended. Everyone is shaking hands and slowly exiting the room. Will in his well-fitted white shirt, black tie in a navy suit was the last to leave the conference room. And exited of out of the small hallway to the large wooden door that leads to the waiting area. Just as, Will exited the door, he noticed the model stand when she saw him. He gave a handshake to everyone from Series Shoes. They took their leave, heading into the shops area and to the front exits.

The model walked over to Will. They both smiled. "It's good to see you, you look beautiful as ever." Will added as he kissed her from cheek to cheek. The model please with herself opened her bag, taking out an old sports watch, handing it over to him. He takes it, an expression crosses his face as he puts the watch on. "Thanks for bringing it. I felt lost without it." He informed her.

She wanted to ask more questions about the watch and why he needed it so urgently when he can easily buy a much more expensive one, instead of the vague answer she got on the phone. "Are you free for lunch?" She asked.

"I'm sorry. I have back to back meetings today. How about the next time you're back into town? We can have dinner." He told her.

Lillie drove up onto the driveway of Daisy and Dan's home. She exited out of her car and opened the right side door. She picked up the gift box as well as the cake box before closing and locking her car door. She walked up to the porch and ranged the doorbell. Optimistic, as she held up the cake box in front of the peephole.

"I bring gifts." She beamed, at the door.

Daisy opened the door with a smile, eating a pickle.

"Lillie!" Said Daisy as she welcomed her with a hug.

Lillie handed Daisy the wrapped gift box.

"Girl, I'm happy you're here. You can help with the other gifts." Daisy addressed, in appreciation as she entered the house.

She pointed at the gifts piled in front of the sofa. Lillie scanned the room, seeing on the coffee table a large bowl of popcorn and a glass of water, Gilmore Girls playing on the television. Daisy walked over to the kitchen, putting the cake box on the counter. She followed Daisy, Lillie walked over to the island, she opened a drawer, pulling out a knife and walked over to Daisy as she unboxed the cake. Lillie handed Daisy the knife, who began to cut two slices of cake. Just as, Lillie pulled out two plates, setting them on the counter next to the cake box.

A few hours have passed. Opened boxes and wrapping papers are everywhere. Gifts are stacked on the other sofas. Lillie is sitting on the floor with an empty plate next to her. Daisy is lying on the sofa.

"So. Matt and I decided to put our relationship on hold again." Lillie told Daisy.

Daisy has a quick smile on her face.

"The mystery man! I've lost count. Is he really worth these repeats?" Daisy asked Lillie.

Lillie turning to Daisy.
