I'm joined today by Romanos Makris, the hero in my latest work in progress 'The Godmother's Wish'.Welcome Mr. Makris and thank you for joining me to-day.
Thank you Ms. Hudson for inviting me, and please, call me Roman.
His hand shake is warm and his eyes friendly.
Okay Roman.
S) You are the CEO of the Makris family business. How did you come to this position?
R) My Yia-yia (Grandmother) insisted that I obtain my degree in Business Management at university when I left high school, then I started work as a clerk in the family business and worked my way up to CEO.
Roman smile lights up his face as her talks about his Grandmother.
S) Your Uncle was by past for you to take the reins, how is your working relationship with him?
R) My Uncle has never had any ambition other than to live off the family money. His son it seems lives by the same motto.
He moves in his seat crossing his legs, the change in his manner is that of a man who has little time for those that are happy to sit back and take hand outs.
S) I believe your Grandmother has been unwell lately. How is she doing?
R) She is making progress with her recovery from hip surgery, we are looking forward to having her return home soon.
S) By we, do you mean Lucy Hogan your Grandmother's Goddaughter?
R) Yes, Lucy will be staying with Yia-yia for a few months.
The lines in his face relax for a moment. His eyes turn a deep chocolate brown. (Hum, interesting)
S) You recently ended your relationship with Diana Rosewell, has Lucy's return anything to do with this?
R) No!
Roman moves again in his seat, he does not seem comfortable with this line of questions.
S) You are staying at your Grandmother's house home with Lucy?
R) I am there helping prepare for Yia-yia's return home. Nothing more.
That answer is slightly defensive.
S) You think a lot of your Grandmother?
R) Yia-Yia raised me from the age of six. She is the only mother I remember and I love her as if she were my natural mother.
His voice changes to that of respect and love as he talks again of his Grandmother.
S) She took Lucy in after Lucy's parents died. Did you find it hard to have to share your Grandmother with an outsider?
R) No. I was in university by then, Lucy was an only child and had no other relatives. She was only a child back then, how could I begrudge a child a good home?
S) But she is a woman now.
R) Yes.
He is watching me from behind weary eyes. His body has tensed.
S) Are you attracted to her?
R) I don't find that any of your business. I think we will end this interview here.
Okay that may have been the wrong questions. He walks from the room, his back ridged. But boy he has a great butt.
Until next time.
