It was late for him but as the boss it was
a privilege he rarely took. He smiled at the thought some would have said that
his whole life had been privileged and that assumption would be right. His
younger life had been that of a life style many would have envied.
Starting at the bottom rung of the
construction business his father had started had pulled his once wild nature
into line. It was a hard business and he'd worked his way up to the desk he now
had as head of the company. His father William Owen started it forty years ago and
stood down last year leaving Jake in full command.
The biggest and oldest construction firm
in the country and now spreading across Europe he was proud of what he’d achieved
and it was with great relish that he had been able to prove his father wrong.
However a broken marriage that he had been forced into when he was too young to
fight back had resulted in him having to give up the woman he’d loved all his
life.
Today he would see her again for the first time in ten years and
she didn't know that it would be him at the airport to pick her up.
He pursed his lips and imagined that he would not be welcome in fact he
knew that but it would not deter him and just thinking about her set his
heart rate to supersonic speed
