The hug surprised her, but she appreciated it. She didn’t know she had needed the hug. These two women didn’t even know her, but they cared, and for some reason lived with Nox. She had a feeling she had to figure out this guy more. He had changed a lot from the man who had slept and left.
Anger had been replaced with anxiety and worry, and it wasn’t just her sister. That was foremost, but there was more on her mind - business and personal. She had a board meeting tonight and wasn’t going to make it. Andrew knew the plan for Second Chances and could easily be her proxy. The board wouldn’t say no whether she was here or not.
She wiped her eyes as a man came up the stairs and gave everyone hugs before offering his hand to her and introducing himself. According to Liam he was a bartender. Emily took his hand. ”Emily. I hope so too. Please excuse me for a moment.”
She pulled out her wallet and stepped aside. Andrew, I need you to proxy me tonight. Send my apologies to the board, I have a family matter that I need to take care of and will be unable to attend (I’ll let you know more later). Please present the Second Chance proposal to the board. They want to merge with the Orphan Project to create a children’s division. We talked about it as a potential option. You know what you need to say. They’ll accept it. Text me the verdict.
Andrew responded quickly. Got it. Good vibes to you and the family.
She out her wallet away and joined the group. ”Sorry - had some business to take care of.”
