Once the meeting was over, it was nearly time for lunch. Aaron was about to unpack what Keeley had prepared for him when his secretary called.
"Mr. Hale, Mrs. Hale is here to see you."
What was Keeley doing here? She had never stopped by the office before. It would be nice to see her though.
"Send her on up. Thank you."
When the door opened and he saw his mother instead of his wife, the temperature in the room dropped thirty degrees. He hadn't seen Roslyn since Lacy Knighton's birthday party over a year ago.
When he heard Mrs. Hale, he immediately assumed the secretary was talking about Keeley. He had nearly forgotten that there was another Mrs. Hale in New York that he didn't want to see.
"I thought you were my wife. If I had known it was you, I would not have let you in," he said icily. "What are you doing here, Mother?"
