She smiled, and completely relaxed was her breathing. “I’m sorry for not introducing myself. I’m Valerie, it’s just that I was in a rush,” she explained.
“And I’m Mike! That’s my best friend Sebastian,” interrupted Mike, looking like a happy child.
“Well, Valerie, the store is all yours now. We will talk to your dad soon about the work,” I assured.
Changing the mood in the room, I lowered my tone again and intimately stepped in close to her. “Hey, listen, your dad and I were talking about food. And I know he’s a steak lover,” I said.
“Oh god, yes he is,” she gushed.
“Well this is a gift card to Jimmy Jim’s Steakhouse. They have the best steak I’ve ever tasted. I forgot to mention this spot to your dad,” I added. “But hey, I know he’s been busy and he can use a break. Maybe dinner with his daughter,” I suggested. Her face was wrinkled with confusion, with her hand placed on her hip.
“Whenever is the next time you two spend family time together. I know how important that can be,” I explained.
Her eyes grew, and her jaw hung a bit in surprise as to why would I be so nice. “Wow, um, thank you! That’s so nice of you.” She accepted. Flipping the card over and observing it, she wondered, “Does my dad have any clue about this?”
“No, not at all. And don’t tell him,” I demanded. “Just surprise him, take him out, and don’t tell him where you got the idea. I’m telling you he’s going to love the steak there, everyone does! And I’m aware he’s never been to this one in particular,” I said.
She looked down at the card, almost ashamed to accept.
“There’s enough on that card to serve dinner for two and a bottle of wine if desired,” I also added.
The corners of her eyes were smiling, her lips slightly frowning but with joy. “I can’t wait to take him there now,” she promised. The short time that we spoke, Mike was already in the truck waiting for me. I walked off after saying goodbye, but I could sense her eyes watching my every step. You can hear a mouse walk, as quiet as it was. I rushed to the truck once I was outside. Sat down quickly and gazed down at my lap, smiling about my own ideas. “You gave her your number, right?” questioned Mike.
“And why would I do that? No, I didn’t,” I confessed. “But I did leave our business card on the keyboard in the office.”
His face slowly turned into a raisin wondering why. But as soon as I broke down what happened in there, he came to realize. That this gesture had the potential to drive her to eventually reach out to me. “Oh I see what you did. You think your slick, huh?” said Mike. He then grew curious. “What are you going to say to Rich?”
“That’s the easiest part. I’m glad you asked. I’m going to tell him this was all your idea!” I said, while I shoved my finger in his chest.
“Hell no, that’s your issue,” he argued.
I laughed and brushed it off. I then looked over at the store, just to notice Valerie’s backside as she walked away from the door. She must have been watching us this whole time we were parked. Mike started up the truck, and as we exited the lot, I answered his question.
“I’m not planning on saying a thing. I’m just going to let time tell us everything.”
