Chapter 17 The Charity Event

• Reynolds scrolled through his tablet as he sat back in his car. It was a Saturday yet his father had asked him to meet Robert Martin for business. His old man knew nothing about limits. He answered his phone on the first ring when he saw the name that flashed on the screen. “One would assume you missed me,” Luke chuckled. “Of course”, Reynolds answered with sarcasm. “What did you find, Luke,” he cut straight to the chase. “You are no fun. Anyways they’ve been best friends since high school and from what I gathered they’re pretty close. It’s actually a wonder that they’ve never dated. In fact Miss Martin has never been in any sort of relationship.” Reynolds hadn’t expected that.
• Most affluent ladies he knew loved to be in a relationship but then again he was learning how Amy was different. She carried herself with poise and elegance and was reserved, he had noticed from their meetings. “Both of you make a good pair since you also barely date.” He heard him chuckle on the other end of the call. “Alright, that will be it Luke.” He ended the call before Luke could say anything else, he was most likely to spew nonsense. “We’ve arrived, Sir.”
• His driver notified him after he pulled in front of the mansion. Reynolds got down from the car and ascended the stairs. The large double doors swung to reveal the traditional interior of the mansion. He was shown the living room by a maid who later brought him a cup of tea. “Mr. Martin will join you shortly”. He offered a thank you before the maid left. It didn’t take long for Mr. Martin to join him. Reynolds stood to shake hands with the man. “Let's talk in my study, son,” Mr. Martin gestured toward what he presumed to be the study. He followed after the man who was short but managed to take long strides.
