PET PROJECT

Florence looks at Junior and said, "I want currence-roll, sweetbread, puffs, spring roll and coconut tarts."

"Okay Mom, but how much of each item will you be needing, and how many guesses will be attending?"

"Oh, a dozen of each will do and please inform her to be here by half three to assist with the serving."

Standing up Brent wanted to leave immediately, "Do you have to leave now, Junior?" Florence asks wanting him to mingle with Rosanna before he goes on her errand.

"Mom, I don't want to visit Miss Albert's home late, she is a young lady and what will people say when I visit her place late? But don't worry I could stay about thirty minutes again." Brent knew she wasn't home so he has some time before she reaches the apartment. Should I buy burgers and take them with me? But just suppose she went on a date or with her friend and eat out? Will she feel I am being pushy or even a pervert?'

Lost in his thoughts when his mom said, "Oh, Rosanna, I want you to be here for the pet project, it will be beneficial for us seeing that you will be assisting. Junior"

Becoming so angry he gritted his teeth, 'Now it's their pet project and she feels that she could choose who she wants to oversee it. But who cares it is Jessy's dream and as long as it starts she won't return to Boston and that is all I am concerned about'

Turning around when his Dad touches him, "Son, did you have the plan drawn up already?" Brent saw how dazed he was as though he was daydreaming. "Son, are you alright?"

"I am fine Dad, just a bit tired, what were you saying."

"I was asking if you have the plan for the homeless home ready?"

"No Dad, but I already discuss it with Chase, I am waiting for his reply, but don't worry I can clearly recall exactly what Chase and I discussed."

"Will you be able to break it down in simple terms to the committee?"

"I believe so Dad." Five forty-five Brent stood up, "If there's nothing else, I will go and place my orders and get a message to Miss Albert."

"Oh, Son, instead of half three, tell her to be here for half two and ask her to order an extra currence-roll with less sugar for me?"

"Okay, Dad I will do as you ask."

Florence looks at Brent go, considering this first meeting between Rosanna and Brent, 'They seem to hit it off pretty good. Now I will use this pet project to get them closer.'

Touching her husband, "Brent honey, why is it he sounds happier than you?."

"Florence my dear, that's my Son, I remembered when I had to come and meet you, how many excuses, I will make and find reasons to escape from home, so I could see you."

"Brent, are you saying that Junior has a friend and was happy to leave us and go?"
