Chapter 171: A memory to make angels weep
Andrew was still laughing about what he’d found when he’d come down to his new office last week. A plaque that declared Andrew as property of the CEO had been sitting all pretty and shiny on his desk.
Richard had teased him endlessly about it, and so had the girls once they realised Andrew wasn’t upset about it in the slightest. He took his lover’s behaviour in stride, especially since Maxwell knew that Tracey had avoided being obvious about their relationship.
Maxwell had also found out the name of the daycare that Dr. Cox’s daughter had previously attended, and funny enough, it was on the same block that Maxwell’s parents’ condo was on. It was also pretty famous for producing some spectacular kids.
Andrew was pretty sure half of that was from the fact that the kids that went there came from rich families, but no one was going to speak on that. Andrew and Maxwell had made an appointment to go see the place after work later this week, and no one was the wiser.
Except Richard, but that was an active choice on Andrew’s part. He was trying to keep Richard in the loop now that he was working with him. They had even made dinner plans. At the end of the week, the day after Andrew and Maxwell had visited the daycare to check it out, they were supposed to go to dinner at Richard’s parents place. Rose was even coming, Richard’s sister, and her husband.
Andrew was anxious about the meeting, more anxious about it then going to the daycare. Andrew couldn’t care less about what a bunch of rich snobby kids thought of him, but he did want to make sure that Dr. Cox got her money back.
He had been asking her some questions about daycares and how young she’d put her daughter into daycare. She’d been cautious at first, until Andrew mentioned that one of his friends was pregnant and he was just curious because they were a first time parent. She’d let her guard down after that, and found that a lot of her information was incredibly helpful.
She did not bring up anything negative about the previous daycare center her daughter went to, and instead said that they had left because it had gotten too expensive. Andrew knew it was a lie, and was quite impressed by her ability to lie.
Andrew had a huge well of sympathy for her, and empathy. Being a single Mom wasn’t easy, Andrew knew that the most. He really wanted to offer her comforting words, but wasn’t sure how he could go about it without sounding like a creep. He’d just have to get closer to her, that’s all.
