"Xation I am going back to visit Leah today and I want you to come with me." Serena begged her brother, who sat behind his massive desk in his downtown high-rise office.
"No." he said not looking up from the financial documents he was signing.
"Why not?"
"Because, dear sister, I am still too angry." he retorted.
"You are always angry, there my grumpy brother." she said sarcastically, in a tone he did not appreciate.
"Serena she ran away from me and abandoned our only son!"
"Well you still love her, no" she said her voice changing to a more gentle tone.
Xation looked across his desk sighed and said softly "Yes."
"Well, that is all that matters. So I will ask you once more come with me and visit your wife. Charles has been amazing with her, she's put on weight, her sores have cleared up, the dentist gave her all new teeth, she is starting to look more and more like a member of this family day by day." she happily informed him. "You know you should be very thankful Charles is still a member of your organization."
"With his background he does not really have a choice, and besides," he paused putting his pen down "I have a too many business meetings today and I am flying to Manhattan tonight." he said going back to his papers.
"When will you return?"
"Well then I have to fly to Madrid to look at another horse."
"Another horse? God how many horses does one man need?" Serena said throwing up her hands.
"I need fresh blood for my brood mares."
"You did not answer my question." she said irritated.
"Then after that I am flying down to Augusta for Masters week to see Angel Cabrera play, then I will be back next Monday."
"Oh Angel do you think he will win?" she asked.
"I hope so, but there is some new black kid out of Stanford who everyone is talking about, so we will see. But I am looking forward to seeing him play." Xation digressed then continued. "Oh and mother and father will be her that following Sunday to welcome Leah back into the family, so you tell Charles to make sure she will be ready and healthy. I do not want my son to see her as she was when you found her in California, and tell him to call me as soon as he gets the results of her blood tests back from the lab." he instructed her as he wrote a note in his day book.
"Very well, have a safe trip and bring me back a present."
"What would you like?"
"Bring me back an autograph from the winner of the tournament. The Master's 1997 already? Last year went by so fast." she sighed "My how time flies." she said realizing her 30th birthday would soon be approaching. With this she sighed again disheartened. Serena kissed her brother goodbye and left his office making her way down to her limousine. She did not feel like visiting her sister-in law now, but she was a dedicated member of her family so she did what she thought was the right thing to do and instructed her driver to take back once more to see Leah.
"No." he said not looking up from the financial documents he was signing.
"Why not?"
"Because, dear sister, I am still too angry." he retorted.
"You are always angry, there my grumpy brother." she said sarcastically, in a tone he did not appreciate.
