CHAPTER 24
Frank decided he would take Tylo out to lunch and talk to her about Veronica. He found out where she worked, made reservations at the Le Chateau, and left to go talk to Tylo.
He arrived at where she worked, "Anderson and Williams Investments". He walked in and was greeted by the receptionist, "Welcome to Anderson and Williams Investments. How can I help you?"
"I'm here to see Tylo Williams."
"Does she have an appointment with you?"
"No is she available?"
"I'm sorry she had a meeting outside the office."
"Do you know when she is expected back?"
"Within the hour, Mr. Anderson has an appointment at 1:00."
"I'll wait." He said as he took a seat in the lobby.
Gary and Tylo had just closed a major deal for the firm, they had razzled land dazzled a much sought after corporation by many investment firms. They were so excited that when they walked into the office they didn't noticed Frank sitting there.
"I can't believe after that, you will not take me out to lunch. I'm starving!"
"I would, however I am just going to be able to prepare for my 1:00 appointment "Fine, I just starve!"
"No, you won't if you allow me to take you to lunch." Frank said. He looked at Gary who up close had an uncanny resemblance to Tylo.
Both Tylo and Gary turned around to see Frank sitting in the lobby. Gary said, "Great you won't starve. I'm Gary Anderson, Tylo's twin brother." Extending his hand to Frank.
"Frank Donovan, Tylo's neighbor." Shaking Gary's hand.
"Well, Mr. Donovan the answer to your invitation is no." Tylo said.
Frank said, "You just said you were starving,"
"Starving yes but your company not a chance."
"Tylo, be nice." Gary said.
"I have something I would like to discuss with you, I thought it would be nice to do over lunch. Please."
Tylo wanted to stand her ground but Frank looked like he really needs a friend. "Okay, you win."
Frank got up from the chair, took his cane, and opened the door for Tylo. Tylo walked out in front of him, as they walked out Gary smiled.
Frank was the perfect gentleman opening Tylo's door for her and then going to get in the driver's seat. He pulled out of the parking lot and out to Lakeshore Dr. Both were quiet then Frank said, "I'm sorry for the other night."
"Save your breath, because I don't accept apologies." She looked over at Frank and he looked confused.
She continued, "I made it one of my philosophies a while back not to accept them. I believe that once you say or do something to offend another person, it can't be retracted. If you are late, that's when an apology is acceptable, because it is something beyond your control. But what you say or do is controlled by you."
That stopped Frank dead in his tracks, he didn't know what to say, and she had shut him down. He found it amusing since he use to be a negotiator and was always suppose to know what to say. He didn't have to worry about a reply because they had arrived at the Le Chateau.
