Chapter 112

Shizuko was getting close to finishing her second commission and Tanner wanted to watch one day as he had during the first painting. He had some things he had to do in the morning, but he promised to take the afternoon off to see me modeling. I was waiting for Suki to arrive at the gatehouse. She had so many problems being on time in the morning, though she was prompt in the afternoon, once she was awake. I, on the other hand, was usually early, and I was chatting with Jackson as I usually did while waiting for her.

"Jackson, my husband wanted to come and watch while I'm posing this afternoon. Is that okay?"

"Yes, ma'am. But since he wasn't placed on the guest list by the owner, he has to be accompanied by one of the security guards at all times. I apologize, ma'am, but those are the rules. If he's on the grounds, one of us has to watch him. You need to be aware it means one of us will be watching you posing as well.
