Dom dialed a number on his phone and he sighed as his call was answered.
"Hello Dom" said Margaret as she answered his call and she smiled.
"Hello Mom" said Dom as he replied as he smiled.
"Oh I'm in the store right now, do you need me to get anything for you?" asked Margaret as she smiled.
"No Mom, I'm fine here" said Dom as he smiled.
"Oh alright, and how is my wonderful daughter in law?" asked Margaret.
"She's good mom, she went out with Lia" said Dom.
"Oh that's nice" said Margaret as she smiled.
"Yes Mom, I actually called because there is something very serious going on at the company right now, RPT packaging wants to terminate our contract due to some scandals, which include a case of sexual harassment" said Dom as he went straight to the point.
"Oh No, what sort of problem is this?" asked Margaret.
"I don't know Mom, it's really… something" said Dom as he sighed.
"Does Father know?" asked Margaret.
"Yes he does, I informed Grandfather of the situation, and he told me to call you and ask you to go to the company, and check his safe in his old office for some documents that he believes could salvage the situation" said Dom.
"Alright then, I will go there right away" said Margaret.
"Okay Mom, but wait, it's Saturday, I doubt that the security guards would be there" said Dom.
"Don't worry Dom, Alfred is here with me, I am sure he has the spare keys with him" said Margaret as she smiled and she signalled Alfred who was pushing the trolley as he nodded and he walked to her.
"Alright mom, take care, and thank you" said Dom as he smiled.
"Anytime my dear, anytime, when Natasha gets back tell her that I say Hi" said Margaret as he smiled.
"I will mom" said Dom as he smiled and Margaret ended the call.
"What happened?" asked Alfred as he looked at Margaret.
"Oh Alfred, it's horrible, I'll tell you about it in the car, let's finish up here first" said Margaret as she smiled.
"Alright Margaret" said Alfred as he nodded his head and Margaret sighed as she dialed another number on her phone as her call was picked.
"Honey, there's bad news…" said Margaret as she was cut off.
"I know" said Ernest Jr as he replied.
"Father told you already?" asked Margaret.
"I just got off the phone with him" said Ernest Jr.
"Oh alright, Alfred and I are on our way to the company right now, Father asked me to get some documents in his safe" said Margaret.
"Do you still know the code for the safe?" asked Ernest Jr.
"I think I do, isn't it still the original code?" asked Margaret.
"No Father changed it to he and Mother's wedding date" said Ernest Jr.
"Ahh I see, thanks honey, see you when you get back" said Margaret as she smiled.
"I'll be back tomorrow" said Ernest Jr as Margaret smiled and she ended the call.
"Are we done Alfred?" asked Margaret as she looked at Alfred and he nodded.
"Alright, let's go" she said as she smiled and Alfred followed after her.
…
Natasha yawned as she walked into the house, she was to tried, Lia could be so draining especially when it came to shopping, she did not know how that girl had the stamina to run around all the stores the way she did.
"Welcome back" said Dom as he smiled and he saw Natasha as she walked into the living room as she fell on the couch in tiredness.
"I guess that someone didn't have an enjoyable girl's outing" said Dom as he laughed.
"Don't test me Dom, you know how energetic Lia can be, and worst of all, I ended up having to help her carry all her bags, that girl won't be the dead of me" said Natasha as she groaned and she laughed.
"Oh but you know that you love her anyway" said Dom as he laughed.
"I do, but she can be so extra sometimes" said Natasha as she groaned.
"You didn't buy anything?" asked Dom as he chuckled.
"I don't have the money for that, besides all my clothes are fine" said Natasha as she rubbed the back of her neck.
"I wonder how Lia still finds the urge to buy new clothes when she has more than enough clothes already" said Natasha as she sighed.
"Oh you know, the great Cecilia Thomas, master of shopping" said Dom as he laughed and Natasha laughed.
"Yeah, anyway, so how's everything?" asked Natasha.
"Well good, by the way my mom says hi" said Dom as he smiled and Natasha smiled.
"Grandfather has settled everything, and by Monday we should have come to some sort of agreement" said Dom.
"That's good" said Natasha as she nodded.
"Yes it is, you want me to make dinner?" asked Dom as he smiled.
"Yes, I am starving, but wait, last time I checked, you can't cook anything to save your life" said Natasha as Dom laughed.
"Correction, Michael can't cook anything to save his life, and well Nine is the best at cooking, but anyway, I can at least make something" said Dom as he smiled.
"What can you make?" asked Natasha in curiosity.
"Hmm let's see, how about some chicken fried rice?" asked Dom.
"You can make chicken fried rice?" asked Natasha in surprise.
"Yes I can… I made it once and it turned out pretty good" said Dom as he smiled proudly at himself.
"Well then Dom, go ahead, just know that if it tastes horrible, you will have to finish It all by yourself" said Natasha as she laughed.
"I accept the challenge" said Dom as he laughed and he got up as Natasha shook her head.
…
"Your chicken fried rice my lady" said Dom as he served Natasha on the dining table.
"I fee bad that it looks so good" said Natasha as she laughed and Dom laughed in pride.
"But then again, looks can be deceiving" said Natasha.
"Try it first, then you will know for sure" said Dom as he smiled and Natasha tasted the rice.
"So… tell me how is it?" asked Dom.
"Okay, okay… firstly, your surprised me, and secondly, this actually tastes good" said Natasha.
"Thank you for the compliments Madam" said Dom as he laughed.
"I'm actually jealous… it tastes better than mine" said Natasha as she laughed.
"Well you don't need to feel jealous, I can't cook anything well except this, you of course are still the master chef in this house" said Dom as he laughed.
"Thank you, thank you, I appreciate that you know that" said Natasha as she laughed and Dom smiled at her.
…
Natasha was doing some cleaning around the house when she heard the front door close with a Thud, which surprised her.
"Dom, is that you?" asked Natasha as she walked down the hall to the front door.
"Ahh no Madam, it's me" said Alfred as he smiled.
"Oh Alfred, Hi, I didn't know that you would be coming here today" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Hello Madam, I wasn't supposed to, but the Master asked me to change some locks" said Alfred as he smiled.
"Again with the changing of locks, Grandfather needs to cool down a bit" said Natasha as Alfred laughed, he agreed, but he could only carry out the orders.
"So how is everything here Madam?" asked Alfred.
"Hm Alfred, tell me, did Grandfather tell you to come here so you could spy out for him?" asked Natasha with a raised eyebrow as Alfred laughed sheepishly.
"Of course not dear, why send him when I can come here for myself?" asked Ernest as he smiled and he walked in through the front door.
"Of course Grandfather, of course, I didn't know that you were coming" said Natasha as she laughed.
"Well I didn't know that you would be at home today" said Ernest as he smiled.
"Ahh, I have a free day off today, and Dom went to the office" said Natasha as she knew that Ernest would ask her where Dom was.
"That's good my dear, come, let us talk, it's been a long time since we spoke" said Ernest as he hooked Natasha's arm in his and they walked to the living room as Alfred started to change the locks.
"So my dear, how are things with you and Dominic?" asked Ernest as he and Natasha sat down.
"Oh Grandfather, I knew that you were going to ask me this first" said Natasha as she sighed.
"You can't blame me for worrying now can you?" asked Ernest as he laughed.
"Grandfather, everything is fine" said Natasha.
"And you are getting along well?" asked Ernest.
"Yes Grandfather, very well, just like old times" said Natasha as she replied.
"Good, good, and you two have progressed?" asked Ernest while smiling.
"Progressed to what Grandfather?" asked Natasha in confusion.
"Oh nothing my dear, it's nothing" said Ernest as he laughed and Natasha looked at him suspiciously, he did not want to push her too much, he knew that it was only a matter of time before Natasha and Dom finally realized that they were perfect for each other, he just hoped that it would be soon, because he wanted many great grandchildren.
"Hmm alright, should I make you some tea Grandfather?" asked Natasha as she smiled.
"Ahh yes my dear, thank you, I plan on spending the afternoon here with you my lovely girl" said Ernest as Natasha smiled and she stood up to walk to the kitchen.
"Lots of sugar, and no milk" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Oh you know me very well my dear, just the way I like it" said Ernest as he smiled and Natasha smiled, Ernest knew that he could not have made a better choice for a great granddaughter In law.
