I've always waited for you

Chapter 5

The next day,me and Jay sit in my office room, going through documents,me occasionally asking for advice, sometimes for information,and Jay occasionally explains the terms and conditions.

"What do you think we should do regarding Edison? I heard he came to my office an hour earlier,and threw a fit over how he wanted to see me and stuff like that."

"Well,I think Deacon should also be able to give us suggestions over that. But,the problem is,she doesn't know that you're a supernatural being."

"Yeah. Of course. Let's first set up a meeting with Edison and his dad. We can negotiate the deal,and later,we can threaten or bribe him. Also,since Gabriella has already hypnotized him to think it was a dream,he might suspect us more. So,we gotta be careful." I try to bring out my most serious face,but my eyes graze over the reflection of my most pretentious face through the polished glass top. Frustrated,I settle for a thinking face.

Jay calls Edison's company,and sets up an appointment. Hearing it was me who wants to meet Edison,the secretary sets up a meeting for us immediately. Fortunately,since he was free the whole morning,we are able to schedule a meeting from 10:30 to 12.

"Do you think we should go separately or together? I mean,since you own fancy cars,it would be better if we go separately,but if we do that,it might also seem pretentious. Which one do you want?" Jay looks up at me expectantly. Probably hoping for me to lend him one of my cars. I roll my eyes and give him the keys to my most recently purchased Bugatti Veyron.

Laughing gently,I go to the ground floor,and stand outside, waiting for my cars to appear. Minutes later,Jay comes driving my Bugatti. He parks it in front of me,comes out ,and opens the door to help me sit. I shake my head at his antics,and get inside the car.

It takes us about 15 minutes to reach Edison's company, within which Jay briefs me about the deal which is to be done between our companies. His secretary runs towards us and leads us to his office.

"I feel like a spy on a mission haha." I whisper to Jay. The secretary, Serra,glances at us, probably wondering what we are talking about.

Jay and me look at each other and silently agree to tease her more once we finish the work.

"Sir and madam,this is the way to Mr. Edison's office. His father dropped by a few minutes earlier. However,since he showed interest in meeting you both,we decided not to inform you of this in case you refuse. "

"She isn't fully trained,I guess. She still has a lot of things to learn. "Jay whispers to me,and the poor girl warily looks at us again. I shake my head,as if reassuring her,and we go inside.

Edison and his father are sitting on the sofa as we enter.

I glance around the office. It's the complete opposite of me. The table, situated right beside the glass window,is white in colour. The walls of the office are white,and the floor is made of white marble as well. What's weird, however,is the fact that a bulletin board situated on the wall opposite to the glass wall is filled with different colours.

"Yo. What's the name of his father again?" I ask Jay. Even though he had told me his name in the car,I had forgotten about it. How typical of me.

"Mr Edison and Mr Abnor,it's a pleasure to meet you." Jay extends his hand,and they shake hands.

"Now, formalities aside,we came here to discuss the deal about the interior home designing. Can we proceed?" Honestly,I only had a rough idea about what the deal was about. Jay was the one who would do all the explaining and stuff.

"Sure,Mrs Glynn. As you wish." Edison's father speaks up. He motions towards a room,and Edison and Jay go there,followed by me and then Mr Abnor.
"Pretty sure I am not married,but whatever." I mumble.
