The Boss’s Wife: Chapter Three
I pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant. The valet driver took the keys from me as I exited my car. He looked at me with a disapproving side gaze as he got into my vehicle. I am sure he was used to parking high-end luxury cars and not a regular no-frills vehicle like mine. Most of the money I made went straight into a savings account. I wasn’t going to blow it away on an expensive car.
“Yes,” the man inside said as I came up to the podium where he was standing. “Deliveries are in the back,” he said as he looked back down at the large pad.
“I am here to meet my boss,” I said, waving my hand over the pad to get his attention.
“Name?” the man asked as he looked at me.
I gave him the name of both Samuel and Jack. He looked at me with widened eyes. “You’re the person they are waiting on?” he said, looking down at my jean pants and dark green shirt. I wasn’t told it would be formal, so I didn’t plan on dressing the part.
“Yes,” I nodded.
“This way,” he motioned.
“Derek,” Samuel said as he stood up. “I should have told you it would be formal wear, that’s my fault.”
I looked at the man and smiled as he walked back to his post.
