Episode 232: You Make Me Sick

"It’s all right Christine;" Phillip Marques called off his secretary who had a look on her face like she’d take a bullet if asked.

Quentin took a seat and kept his eye on the clock, his foot tapped as Marques finished up a business call. The brown suede chair more comfortable than any he’d sat in his whole life. How he’d wound up with a woman who came from all this, he didn’t know.

Material stuff meant nothing to him but he hated that she had to give up any of it to be with him. So Quent tried to be patient and wait to speak with her father. For Justine. Prejudiced and vindictive as her family may be she deserved a relationship with them. And she did put up with his family. He knew that wasn’t easy on her.

"Sorry about that, I’ll get right to the point here Quentin, I don’t think either of us is interested in idle chitchat," Phillip Marques stated.

"No sir, I do have a job to get back to as well," Quent replied, holding his tongue.

"I’ve set up an emergency fund for your son or daughter since you and Justine aren’t anywhere near solvent. This is emergency only Quentin not for a motorcycle or a wardrobe for your wife. If you two would look over this agreement then I’ll see that the money is appropriately allotted to the child through my attorney, as we deem necessary."

"No we’ll take a pass." Quentin got to his feet steaming mad, heart breaking for his wife.

"Maybe we’ll struggle to make ends meet maybe we won’t, but our child will be loved unconditionally. You know I really wanted to go home and tell my wife you were ready to fix this, I was willing to let my disgust with you go and then you threw money at us. Don’t you ever think of what a great person you’re missing out on? And pretty soon your first grandchild too. What a rich life you lead Mr. Marques."
