I’m going to make sure of it.
CHAPTER
THIRTEEN
Axel
“Daniela!” I beam when I spot her in the hallway. “How are you doing? Holding down two jobs?”
“We’re hiring for Oskar’s position now,” Daniela says. “He’s missed.”
“Who would have thought strait-laced Oskar would run away and leave you in the lurch?”
Daniela laughs. “I’m happy for him.”
“Same. So, I need your help.”
“About removing Enzo from the first line? Nope. I only do paperwork.”
“What? No! Enzo is one of the country’s great hockey players.”
Daniela gives me a look. “He is.”
“So, you know how all our forms have a dependents section?”
She stares at me.
“For the insurances? Health, life, dental?”
“I know.”
“Knew you would. Well, I always skipped that section, but guess what, I now have a dependent!” I beam at her.
Her mouth drops open, then she smiles. “You got married, Axel?”
“What? No way!” I frown, then my mind goes to the women I met in the hotel bar last night. Imagine if I’d flown to Niagara with one of them. I shudder. “Way better. I have a son!”
She blinks. “Congratulations!”
I smile happily. “It’s pretty awesome. He’s two and a half.”
“That’s quite a discovery.”
“And I thought New York would be boring.”
“You have a game this afternoon.”
“Yeah, those are fun. Anyway, about the dependent section… I need to fill it out!”
“I can help you with that.”
“I know you can. Gotta make sure he’s my heir if anything happens to me. Put me down for the max amounts of everything. Better connect him up with a financial investor too. Let compounding do its work.” I lean closer to her. “He still doesn’t know about numbers, so he’ll need someone to navigate financial things.”
Daniela smiles. “That would be quite a task for him. You can get a lawyer to make a will for you. I’m pretty sure you signed up for the lawyer service during your last enrollment period. You can use him for all non-hockey related things.”
“Good idea. See? That’s why I knew you were the right person.”
“Just call the firm when you get back to Boston and tell them you need a will. They’ll be able to help you with your requests. They can set up a trust for your son. Do you have a financial advisor?”
