“I’m working on them now. You’ll have them by the end of the day.”
“Thanks, Nolan.”
I left the restaurant and had Sean drive me back to Bradshaw Capital. When I passed Isla’s desk, she told me my new office was ready. When I stepped inside, I sighed.
“I want the walls painted a different color and get these pictures off the wall.”
“Why?” Isla asked.
“Because it reminds me too much of my mother and my uncle. Get it taken care of. Until it’s done, I’ll be down at my old office, and you’ll be sitting at your old desk.”
“Damn you, Miles,” she whined. “You couldn’t have said anything before everything was moved?”
“I’m heading to the art gallery to find new artwork. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Pulling my phone from my pocket, I called a dear friend of mine as I sat in the back of the Escalade.
“Mr. Miles Bradshaw. Long time no talk, my friend.”
“Shaun Kind. It’s good to hear your voice. How are you?”
“I’m great. Living my best life here in Los Angeles. How are you?”
“I’m doing okay.”
“I’m sorry to hear about your mother. My sympathies, friend.”
“Thank you. I’m calling because I’ve taken over Bradshaw Capital and need some new blood on the board of directors.”
“Looking to clean house?” he asked.
“I am. Now that the company is mine, it’s time to get rid of the old and bring in the new.”
“I’ll be in New York next week. Let’s meet up and talk,” he said. “I’m very interested in helping you out.”
“Excellent. I’m looking forward to seeing you, my friend.”
“You too, Miles.”
I walked into the art gallery and began looking around.
“Miles Bradshaw, it’s been a while.”
“Chloe Bennett. You look as beautiful as always.” I kissed her cheek and hugged her.
“Thank you, Miles. What brings you in? Are you looking for new artwork?”
“I am. For my new office.”
“We just got in a new collection I think you’ll like. Follow me.”
“How’s Sebastian doing?”
“He’s amazing as always.” She grinned.
“And your parents?” I smirked.
“Crazy as always.” She laughed. “Let me know if you see anything you like.”
