Hot Coffee (The Hollens)

Ethan's POV

I had been calling Emma for hours and kept reaching her voicemail, and Halley's too. When I got back they would be grilled. I also wanted to know what the results of the pregnancy test. Would I be a dad or would I have to make a better effort?

I couldn't concentrate on the meeting being held in front of me; I kept thinking about Emma.

"Sir, does that mean that the demands have been met?" Linda shooed my floating thoughts away.

I raked my fingers through my hair and heaved a sigh. Linda looked at me.

"Sir, are you alright?" she asked with a small smile to show she wasn't making a scene.

"I'm fine," I answered and flipped through the proposals in front of me.

I headed back to my hotel room, after the meeting, and called Emma again but got the same results. Voicemail. I called Halley and I got her voicemail too. Where were they and what were they doing? Something was wrong. Emma wouldn't ignore my calls like that and she wouldn't take so long to return them. She loved her new phone.

I called Luis.

"Yes sir?"

"Luis, I'm trying to get a hold of Emma or Halley. Where are they?"

"Sir, I don't have that information. I'm currently with my wife and kids."

"Oh, right. I'll try calling Anton." 

I ended the call and tried Anton who should have been at the grounds presently. His phone went to voicemail as well.

Damn it! When I get back, I'm going to kick some asses all over the place.
