Bound By His Daughter

Ceaser expected her to ask for his number like all other women did after he gave them a compliment but Jules didn’t.

Didn’t she know who he was?

He was about to introduce himself when the elevator opened to the second floor – the day-care – he had taken the time to know what department each floor held.

“Have a good day.” Jules said as she exited the elevator and he just stared at her wondering what is was about her that got to him.

Jules made her way to her office after she dropped Ivy off. She couldn’t help thinking about him. She hadn’t seen him around before.

Was he new?

“Morning Alice.” Jules greeted her assistant on her way to her office.

“Morning Jules.” Alice greeted back.

Jules stopped at Alice’s door

“How many?”

“Four.”

Jules sighed.

Santos was out to get her fired.

The day ended not as early as Jules had thought it would. She thought the four files Santos had sent to be reviewed would be easily done within office hours. But she was wrong, the files had been bigger than expected and it was days like these that she was more grateful for Sofi and Andy. She had informed them of her work load and since they both knew her work principle, they knew they were on Ivy duty, which they loved.

Jules made her way to the ground floor that evening and was informed by Jerry that her car wouldn't start, so she went to the garage to start the darned car but as Jerry had said – it wouldn’t start. After trying for a few more times, she gave up and took out her phone and called for an Uber but there were none available at the moment.

Darn it!

She thought of who to call but she knew they would have to come get her in a taxi if they found one at this time. Besides, she was heading to their apartment, it would be silly for one of them to come get her in a taxi only to return. She finally gave up, took her bag and stepped out of the car. She was on her way out of the parking lot just at the same time Ceaser was driving out for the day.
