Chapter 60

Luke

I couldn't believe the number of deadlines I had at the moment. I was nearly thirty, and I was ready to slow down and live a calmer life, not increase my blood pressure. The business had taken off after my dad had given me a thousand dollars and told me to build it. A family tradition, something his dad had done, and his father before him. But back then it wasn't as much as a thousand, it was a lot less. I followed in the same footsteps as all of the men in my family, which was great at the time, but now I was regretting it. My life was all about all work and no play. As much as I tried to distance myself from my job, I always managed to end up staying late and promising myself I wouldn't do it the next day.

The buzzer for the intercom buzzed on my phone.

"What?" I barked.

"It's Mr. Hales, he's here to see you," Bianca sounded as stressed out as I was right now.
