“I know…But she is hot. Where is she?”

“She went to New York for the week. She will be back Sunday”.

“Jase…I want to have controlling interest in the coffee warehouse." she said, “Is that possible?”

“Sure…It is, just to let you know that your new partner will be Sam, not me. I signed over my interest in that to her. But are you sure you want back in, does Miguel know about the “Pharaoh?”

“No he does not. He won’t until I get a secure footing here, and some other stuff falls in to place for me and then I will deal with him in the appropriate manner. So…tell me how the coffee business is going…”

“It is going good but we do have some new people showing interest in the casinos”

Jason phone rang.

“Yes…hold on…It is Sam, I will put her on speaker phone”

“Hey Jase” she said.

“Hey Sam…somebody here wants to say Hi…Hold on…”

“Hello Samantha” said Marina.

“Hello Marina" she answered excitedly, “when did you get there? How long are you staying?…Jase, I called to tell you that thing went well. The deal for the coffee house and hotel here went through. I will be home tomorrow”

“Sam, can I call you back? We have some business to handle" said Jason.”

“Ok” she said" Give Marina my number before she leaves…Bye”

Jason reached into the drawers and pulled out a cell phone.

“it is secure” Jason said handing her the phone. “Reese will have the papers ready and some account ready for you in the next couple of days”

“Ok, thanks. I need to go home and get ready for a show. I will speak to you soon” said Marina and she left.

She arrived at home, took a long bath and got dressed. When she got downstairs, Miguel was sitting on the couch, having a drink.

“You look stunning Marina…” he said.

“Thank you, you look handsome as always” she answered, “When did you get here?”

“While you were having your bath. The show we’re going to tonight is to see photos by Elizabeth Getty. She will be there as well”

“I love her work, she has an amazing eye” said Marina.

“I know…That is why we’re going”.

He took Marina’s hand and they headed to the car.

They arrived at a gallery named the Alexandria’s a short time later. Miguel introduced Marina to a few business associates. She was on automatic polite mingling around the room. When someone tapped her on the shoulder, she turned around. Jodie and Steve were next to her.

“You look amazing Jodie” said Marina.

Jodie had on a lavender dress with the back out, diamond earrings with a necklace.

“Marina…You look amazing as well, good enough to eat" answered Jodie with a slight smirk, “I am so happy to see you, for obvious reasons. Now I can talk to someone and not have people talk at me but look at Steve”.

“I am happy to see you as well…I was bored out my head” said Marina.

“Call me Jai” said Jodie.

As Marina reached for her hand, Miguel came up to her.

“Hello darling…" he said, And who is this stunning women you’re talking to?”

“This is Jai” Marina told him.

Marina and Jodie were saved by Steve. He was walking towards them with Jai’s drink in his hand. He introduced himself and Marina introduced Miguel. When Steve signed that that Miguel was my husband, Jai raised her eyebrow.

“This is going to be an interesting show. " she said…
