After Mona finished preparing everything up, she decided to call Maxwell to fill him in on her plans for the day.

Maxwell was deep in conversation with the sales manager when he heard his phone ring. Excusing himself, he stepped over to the French window. "Hey, honey, what's up?" he asked, sensing she might have something important to say. Usually, Mona didn't interrupt him unless it was really necessary. "Not much, just wanted to let you know I'm going out with Ava to check out the shop location."

"Sounds good, but you should definitely have Haley tag along. And bring two bodyguards, alright? Sorry I can't be there with you today," he replied, glancing at the busy street below. It bugged him that work was keeping him from being there for Mona and their baby. Mona was just trying to keep Maxwell in the loop. She didn't want him to worry if he couldn't find her when he got home. Plus, she figured he wouldn't be able to join her anyway.

"Don't worry, I got it. Just focus on your work. Ava is waiting for me, so I'll hang up now," she said.

"Alright, but take care of yourself, okay? I will come home as soon as I can," Maxwell replied.

Mona nodded and ended the call. She then reached out to Haley, who was on standby. With the two bodyguards in tow, they headed to the location Ava had sent her.

After Mona ended it, Maxwell put his phone away, jumping back into his work. He couldn't wait to finish up and get home to be with her.

When Mona pulled up to the street, Ava was already waiting for her. After Haley helped her out of the car, she stayed close, keeping an eye on everything with all the hustle and bustle around them.

you're glowing! see you are being super careful now that you're pregnant, huh?" she joked, glancing at the bodyguards keeping watch.

As soon as they met up, Ava looked Mona up and down then held her arm. "Wow!
