“This is nothing. Frank’s just trying to scare us.”
David looked at her.
“It’s an unpaid $6,200 balance for completed renovation work.”
She stared at Grant.
“You told me all contractors had been paid.”
“They have.”
Grandpa raised one eyebrow.
Grant snapped, “Except him.”
A long silence followed.
The real estate agent’s expression said enough.
“You cannot list a property and just not mention something like this to me.”
Grant rubbed his forehead.
“It’s being handled.”
Grandpa nodded.
“That’s why we’re here.”
Then Grant noticed Tommy.
“And why is he here?”
Tommy pushed away from the van.
“I’m here because you called my office yesterday.”
Grant frowned.
“For the upstairs?”
“Yes.”
“We had a ten o’clock appointment.”
“We did.”
“Then why are you here with him?”
Tommy looked at Grandpa.
“He trained me.”
“What does that have to do with our quote?” Grant asked.
“Everything.”
“You’re refusing the job?”
“Yes.”
Melissa stared at him.
“For what reason?”
Tommy shrugged.
“I like getting paid.”
I had to bite the inside of my cheek.
Grandpa shot him a look, but Tommy only grinned.
“What?” Tommy said. “It’s true.”
Grant’s voice rose.
“This is ridiculous. You’re all trying to gang up on us.”
