The Housekeeper’s declare WAR on Miami!

Chapter 48.7: The Housekeepers’ War, Part IV

Atlanta, Part II

Maria’s POV

I’m beginning to see, more and more, that I’m not treated fairly at RangeMan Miami and I wonder how I allowed it to happen. More importantly, how am I going to fix it?

The Atlanta men are sweethearts. Again, I’m picked up at the airport by the XO and the strategist, Danny and Chase. Danny is an incredibly handsome man and Chase is pretty good looking too. Problem is, standing next to Danny, he looks somewhat ordinary, but he reminds me so much of Bobby. Same dimples, same beautiful brown eyes, same impish grin.

“Hello, Ms. Maria!” Danny says. He kisses my hand and steps back to allow Chase to do the same. I’m star struck by the attention.

Atlanta, Part I

Rose’s POV

I’ve been waiting at Miami International for 20 minutes. This is unacceptable. I’ve called the Miami office twice since landing and been told that my escort is on his way. My husband, Chris, is quietly furious on the phone. Finally, I walk out the building and run directly into a familiar face.

“You’re a RangeMan, aren’t you?”

He nods. “I’m Armando, the XO. I was just informed you were here and since I was close by, I swung by. I’m sorry that your escort hasn’t arrived, and I apologize for that. Can I take your bags?”

I look at him suspiciously. That sounds like bullshit to me, but I hand him the bags. He escorts me to the waiting SUV and tucks my bag in the back. He climbs into the driver’s seat before he realizes that I’m still waiting outside.

I’m a lady. I don’t open my own doors.

Trenton, Part II

Maria’s POV

The past three weeks in Trenton have been an eye opener. A few days after Stephanie returned from NYC, I went to talk to her, to try to get to know her. I was surprised by her conversation.

I poked my head into the ‘Lion’s Den’. The Trenton boys’ nickname for Stephanie’s office is amusing. “Stephanie?”

She looked up and smiled. “Steph, please. Maria, I want you to know that you’re already being considered a hero by the men.” She motioned for me to come in.

Trenton, Part I

Ella’s POV

Luis declared that there was absolutely no way I would take on the Miami men on my own. My husband is my partner in everything, and I didn’t blame him. Every time I’ve come back from Miami I’ve been tempted to throw things. So I informed Hal that Luis and I were headed to Miami and he agreed.

Hector picked us up from the airport on Monday morning.

“Stephanie is offline,” he said with a significant look. I frowned. Where could she be, especially without Hector at her back and . . . oh! I beam at Hector. Nothing more need be said. Wonderful! He’s surprised her with a romantic getaway, just the two of them. That’s more like it.
