Chapter 77: Does not forget, does not forgive
Finally able to breathe past the anger and fury that pounded in his chest, Cass stumbled out of his office, and down the two damn intersections to his bedroom.
Like he had promised, Sam was inside, tidying up, the basket on a slightly lower table then his normal bedside table, and an outfit laid out on his bed. Sam had opened the windows, letting in the late afternoon, early evening light and it took some attention away from the garish colour scheme of the room.
Cass tsked, not at him, but at what he had lost during the day when he had planned to go into town. Sam, who heard him, slowly frowned.
"Is something wrong, my Lord?" He asked and Cass sighed.
"I’m just not happy with how the day went today, that’s all." Cass told him before he moved towards the bed. "I have a few tasks for you to do, but after that you’re free for the rest of the night till the morning." Cass told him and Sam nodded.
"What would you have me do?" Sam asked as he began to help Cass undress for the night.
"Well, I still need to contact the banks, so we’ll have to get someone to come to the mansion. I also need the heads of the main merchants in the area to come for an impromptu meeting. I need to speak to them about my investments, and what they plan to do with their companies. It will be there first time knowing that I am their secret backer, though I am sure that they thought someone from the Blackburn’s was supporting them. We also need to talk to a contractor, preferably not the one who worked on the mansion originally because they were clearly in the pocket of my grandfather." Sam nodded.
"Of course. You will also need to remember you have your monthly issue as well starting in three days." Sam warned and Cass jerked.
"Three days? It’s that soon?" Cass asked and Sam nodded.
"It is very easy to track. I have the calendar you gave me that you had been using to track it since you became a man. As usual, I will make sure I only enter once a day to drop off food, and if you don’t eat food for two days I will call for Sir Forsythe and we will come check on you." Sam told him and Cass swallowed.
Holy shit.
