“Did you two work out your problems?” Elizabeth looked at both of them.
“We’re taking it step by step.” Eboni rubbed her fingers over Elizabeth’s arm.
“That’s the only way to do it. Rome wasn’t built in a--” She fell asleep before finishing her statement.
Gunnar peered up. “Now I’m starving,” he said in a whisper. He nodded toward the doorway.
Eboni followed him and they both went to the hospital cafeteria for lunch. When they got to a table, he wasted no time in asking Eboni questions about the salon. He didn’t want to bring up his mother and have the thought of her surgery plaguing his mind.
“What are the other stylists like?” Gunnar opened one of his four bottles of water and chugged the entire bottle down within seconds.
“The stylists have changed since you were there. They aren’t like me or your mother.” Eboni flicked the lettuce and cucumbers around in her salad. “Other salons rent their spaces out so that stylists can be their own bosses. Not your mother. She employs these people. She feels like she can give them better benefits than if they went out on their own.”
“Any problems I need to know about?” He picked up one of his sandwiches and finished it in three large bites. Good thing he’d grabbed two more sandwiches to fill him.
“Same ol’ beauty-shop drama. One person accuses another of stealing their client. You know. Stuff like that. But nothing major.” She watched him work on his second sandwich. “Do you have a tapeworm or something? I’ve never seen anyone eat like you do.”
Gunnar opened his second bottle of water. “I work out a lot. I need the food for fuel.” He took a couple of gulps and then wiped his mouth. “So my plan for tomorrow will be to see my mom in the morning and be at the shop an hour before it opens.”
Eboni blinked. “Really?”
Gunnar shrugged. “I want to be a good boss.”
Eboni shook her head.
“Supervisor.”
She cleared her throat.
“Owner.”
“Oh, hell, no.”
“Fine. I want my presence there to be seamless. I don’t want the staff or the clients to even notice that my mother is not there.”
“That’ll be a neat trick. But tell me, Gunnar, when you didn’t talk to you mother for a long while, did you miss her?”
He laughed. “Of course.”
“That’s how other people are going to feel. Don’t go in thinking you’re her replacement. You can’t do what she does.”
Gunnar knew no one could replace his mother. He just wanted an opportunity. “I think I’ll surprise a lot of people. You just wait and see.”
