"Yes." Charles answered with a long heavy sigh.
"I am sorry, but this is required of you now, and besides," Serena spoke sweetly "Xation will be away most of the time on his many business trips, so you will not be forced to endure his presence for too long." she laughed a little knowing full well the two men did not get along well with one another.
This provided little comfort to Charles who sat in his kitchen chair for a few quiet moments after the phone call. He did not know what to think or what to do so he sat there in shock and silence. Then he received a phone call from Xation Day. "Yes?" Charles answered.
"Charles, I am glad I reached you. My sister informs me she has made you aware of the situation.., and I would like to invite you out to dinner this evening so we can discuss the issue at length." he said in a commanding voice giving out his invitation to dinner more as an order. "You can also inform me of my wife's progress."
"Your wife is doing very well, after our trip."
"Excellent, then you and I shall celebrate a little tonight. I will send Bengiman to pick you up at six."
"I am perfectly capable of driving myself to the restaurant." Charles answered a bit of rudeness in his tone.
"No, I will not hear of it. I want you to just relax and not worry about anything." Xation said knowing Charles had been through so much over the past few years in his service. Xation was actually trying to be nice.
"Fine. Where are we meeting you?"
"Del Frisco's, in Sundance Square. Be ready to leave by 6:00."
Charles hung the phone up and after a few more minutes of silence he got up poured himself a small glass of Jack Daniels over ice and went outside to sit by the pool. He lingered outside soaking up the sun rays and three or four more glasses of whiskey before he went to get ready for his dinner appointment with Xation.
