it until you are twenty-five. If you marry before your twenty-fifth birthday, you still do not have access to the account and your spouse will have no rights to the account. It will be part of a prenuptial agreement.”
“Gran sure was something.”
“Aimee, she wanted to make sure you would be taken care of and no one could take advantage of you. She wrote in the letter, that, the man who marries you, will marry you for love and the prenup will not be a problem with him.”
“That sounds like her. So why are you here today?”
“Do you not want to know more about the account?”
“I have an overwhelming feeling, the less I know about that account before my twenty-fifth birthday, the better off I am.”
“You are so right my, dear.” A knock at the door caused them both to turn, then Brad entered. “Here you go. It was easy to find.”
Aimee took the note. “Was there more than this letter?”
“I can find out. I was wondering the same thing.”
“Great. Let’s go to lunch at twelve-thirty. That gives you an hour; and, then we can discuss what you do or do not find.”
“Sounds great. I will come by your office and then we can leave.”
Mr. Myer’s watched him walk out the door. “He is married, you know?”
Aimee laughed. “I know all too well, I was in the wedding. His mother was Gran’s best friend. The two of us have been raised like brother and sister.”
“I see.”
“Stop avoiding the question, why are you in the states?”
“To represent the international branch of Lilliend Rose.”
“The international branch?”
“Yes. Your Gran, through me, was able to franchise her company to Neahovia. I am the President of Roseednay Fruits. Very few people know we are a franchise, Aimee.”
“Yeah. That includes me. Wait, you said Roseednay Fruits. Is REF the initials?”
“Yes they’re the initials we use.”
“I have no more questions today, please write your cell number down. I want to make sure I still have it saved in my phone; I had to do some updates and lost some of my contacts. I need to be able to get in touch with you whenever I feel the need arise; and, when I return to Neahovia in a few weeks, I want to visit your office.”
“I will be delighted to show you around. I am so happy I don’t have to hide this from you any longer.”
“That makes two of us.”
Aimee had a few things to do before lunch. First, she wanted to text Aiden a fast message stating that she needed to talk to him later today. She told him she would be home at five tonight, which would be ten for him. He responded back that he wanted to video chat. He said for her to eat dinner, then text him. Next, she took a selfie and forwarded it to Lexi and Piper. Finally, she called Tammy and Tina from marketing to set up their meeting for two pm.
Aimee spent the last thirty minutes she had reviewing some of the marketing reports she had received from Mr. Montgomery. She really needed to talk to Tammy and Tina. This company needed to get with the times if it was going to continue to be profitable.
Chapter Five
Aimee and Brad had lunch at one of her favorite little deli style restaurants close to the office. He had a copy of eight notarized letters from her Gran. She put them in her briefcase, tonight’s homework. Next, she told him about Mr. Myers. Aimee was becoming more concerned about what was going on in her life. How many more people held secrets?
Tammy and Tina arrived at two pm. on the dot. Aimee spent the thirty minutes she had before they arrived arranging things at the round table. She had a pot of coffee and bottles of water sent up to her office as well.
“I want to get reacquainted with you two before we talk about the marketing department. I remember you both having numerous meetings with Gran in this
