Julien’s suite

Sunday, 10 A.M.

Julien opened his eyes at ten when Marcel came into the room to wake them. “Alpha, our men, have arrived, and the glazier is here. Would you like to eat in the breakfast room? Mr. Ferone also wishes to speak to you.” He opened the curtains. Sunlight spilled into the room.

Julien blinked at the sudden brightness. “Have Mr. Ferone’s and our men eaten?” He recalled Richard’s scolding the previous night.

“Yes, Isabel fed Mr. Ferone’s men at seven and our Enforcers when they arrived at eight.”

“Give us fifteen minutes to wash and dress. We’ll meet Mr. Ferone in the breakfast room.”

Marcel left the room, and Julien kissed the still sleeping Richard on his shoulder. “Mon ange, we have to get up to speak to Frank Ferone and greet the Enforcers that flew in from Oregon and Washington.”

“Okay, but I reserve the right to take a nap later today.” Richard yawned.
