Lol Love this story ..Rueben if strangers can tell that Gerrie and Hillary are not up to par you should notice too. Love this story. More please.

Lol, even the resident flirt knows what's up.

"his brand of sex appeal can be quite potent on some women and it certainly appeared to overwhelm Hilary almost immediately."

There's that word again. Hilary used it when describing her and demonDylan to Reuben. Interesting.

That Gerrie chick is crazier than a squirrel on crack. She's scary. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past her.

While I know that Mama Masterson's first priority and loyalty is with Reuben, I just hope that she won't do anything to cause harm to Amelle. I really like their relationship so far. It's like Amelle is the daughter she never had. We shall see. I'd hate to start disliking Mama M.

The way Reuben treats him Mom is an indication how he treats other women. The problem there is, he doesn't see to realize those other women don't have his best interest at heart. He's almost like a babe in the woods.

And yeah Reuben, I see you. You've notice a whole lot about Amelle. And maybe the reason he reacted so intensely is that he feels something for her and not ready to admit that even to himself.

I'm looking forward to the party. Amelle is a strong young woman. I was a bit surprised at her reaction with Reuben accusations, but maybe it hurt more becaue it was coming from him. She cried, yes, but she's not going to let that keep her down. I'm liking her more and more. It would be dull if she was completely perfect.

Another good update, Chica. Peeling the onion slowly. :)

Why would she force Rueben to go to this dinner?  Mrs. Masterson, what are you planning?  What if Dylan mentions the flowers he has been sending to Amelle?  This is a disaster in the making, I can see Amelle putting both Dyl and Hilaho in their place.  I am going to start calling Dylan, Dyl pickle or Pickle for short.  More please?!

I appreciate the steady updating. It's AWESOME!

At first, I thought Mrs. Masterson (interesting choice of name; I've been meaning to point that out, but get so caught up in the story and forget to mention it) was using Amelle for exactly what she said - keep the THOTS (including Gerrie) away, but now I'm wondering if her mission has changed. I see two possibilities. Can't wait to see if you will go with those or something else.

Great story!

Okay, Mrs. Masterson, what are you up to?

Oh, this is going to be hot mess. I'm sure Dylan is going to be perading around with Hilary (I didn't mean to hurt you attitude) on his (Yeah, I took her from you attitude) arm smirking at Reuben.

I wonder if Gerrie is gong to be there? Will Reuben on invite her? Or is she going to invite herself?

Thanks the the update :-)

Hmmm. Sounds like Ms. Masterson is up to something juicy. 😏

I really like Mrs. Masterson...she is an honest character who has her sons best interests genuinely at heart and she really likes Amelle because Amelle displays that same honesty...I am really enjoying this story...

Good update

Reuben is being soooo blind!!! I know he better be prepared to kick himself in the @$$ once Amelle is exonerated from any wrongdoing!! 😠

Well, thanks for the update. Keep them coming. By no means compromise your story.

So Reuben you don't like to work with liars. Those are the only people you are around.

Hopefully,  that phone call was made at a time Amelle and Mrs. Masterson was with Reuben and the third number was not from the company. Anyway that wrong has to made right. Let the truth prevail and it will!

Why is Gerrie so sure Crispins and Chambers has the tenders so tied up? Is she working with Dylan too or someone at the state? Is she paying someone or sleeping with someone at the state level to make sure Reuben doesn't get state business. 

Reuben better have an audit done for the business. Gerrie girl could be dipping in the cash. If she will jeopardize her own partner and her business, what else will she do? I smell a stinking rotten rat. Of course she does not want Amelle's getting Reuben because she wants him. She may have thought Amelle might uncover some dirty mess she has been hiding.

That lilly livered witch! The women in his life that aren't related to him really can't be trusted, how horrendous. I really like this story, it's well written.
