The Chauffeur

By Marcia Carrington

Emmanuel is the chauffeur for Elaine Masterson, and is driving her to the reading of the will for her late husband, Edward. This will be anything but a conventional will reading, as Edward’s wayward, greedy relatives have also been invited, having a sense of entitlement which is larger than the world itself, and an attitude to match. Despite this, Elaine and Edward’s relatives will be shocked by what occurs at the will reading, as Edward makes conditions on everyone present, including Emmanuel, which will take them by surprise, and change their lives forever...

On any other day, she would have admired the vision for a long time, but her mind today, though, was away on far more pressing matters. Elaine decided to walk back inside and pick up the telephone. She had an appointment today which she had to attend, and this was bothering her to no end. Elaine bit her lips, and pressed a button on her telephone.

Emmanuel, can you get the car ready? We’ll be going to Nash Ogden’s office at 10:00AM, Elaine said, nodding slowly, and adjusting her veil.
