Beneath Her Bastard Boss

Chapter 15

Blair sat at her desk, worried about how she was going to explain to her family about her broken engagement. Her sisters would standby her no matter what she did. She wasn’t sure how Sutton would feel about her moving in with Roman after what she went through with Luca in Europe. If only she had his full name, she would ring that asshole and give him a piece of her mind. But other than his first name, Sutton had shared very little. She and Keira didn’t push for details. She saw the shadows in Sutton’s eyes every time someone mentioned the father of her baby.

Her mobile on her desk started to ring. She looked down to see it was auntie Viv. Shit..

Taking a deep breath, Blair picked it up before pressing the answer button. “Hi auntie Viv.” She waited for her aunt to speak first. Blair didn’t know if Laura or Dan had said anything yet and would wait until her aunt spoke first. It was a good tactic Roman used, say little until you had all the information.

“Oh Blair, I’m so glad you answered the phone. I was just talking to Father Johnson at church and they have an opening for Saturday in four months time, I have asked him to hold it for you, all you need to do is ring him to confirm and pay the deposit because the next available date isn’t for seven months.”

So her aunt hadn’t been told yet about the change in plans. “That won’t be necessary.”

“Don’t be silly girl, this is perfect. True, extra time would be better, but you have delayed this wedding long enough.” Auntie Viv was more excited about her marrying into Dan’s family than she was. Her aunt had been pushing for them to set a date for ages. Dan’s family was one of the founding fathers and had a lot of pull within the town. Granted, they didn’t have the millions they once did, but they were not poor either.

Viv and Peter Warner had money by the bucket load but no influence or standing within the town, much to auntie Viy’s disgust. Her aunt wanted the connection to Dan’s family through marriage. Bloody old fashion thinking, but some towns still worked on that social standing.
