No Chill

Chapter 2

Next morning, I woke up with a banging noise.  I realised that someone had been knocking my  door continuously. When I went to open the door I was utterly annoyed at the sight of the person standing in front of me.

"Really? It is 7 am in the morning. Couldn't you at least wait a little to disappoint people with your sight". I mumbled.

"And at what time should I be here to disappoint your highness?", Joe replied casually mocking me.

"Not until 10 pm, thank you". I replied way too politely to make my point clear that I was not interested in making any conversation at this hour. I was just about to close my door when he put his foot just between the door and its frame to block it from closing.

"First , I think you've forgotten that we have a client meeting today and second, I do not have any interest in seeing your face with all that disgusting drool all over".

How dare he! like seriously just dissappear,        vanish...swooosh

"Alright kid, seeing as you were kind enough to remind me about the meeting today which in your opinion I might have forgotten about, I ask you to leave".I answered. By the end of this statement I slammed my hotel door but not before I hear him say 'whatever '.

What is even up people like Joe, can't they enjoy their own mornings keeping to themselves and not just go ruining other people's lives. Ughhh!

After sometime I decided to head to the gym. Of course I work out. Wouldn't be it kind of embarrassing if people saw the head product designer of Dior  in a bad shape. No can do.

I quickly change into my workout clothes and head to the gym. Wait, I don't know where the gym is. Huh gotta ask the staff.

"Hey, can you point me to the gym?". I ask a staff member who was heading to somewhere (I don't know)

"Yes it is two rights from here." He replied as if accustomed to being asked about directions here.

"Thanks". I reply politely.

After about half an hour of workout I head back to my room to get a shower.

It is 8:15 am now and I was just finishing breakfast of eggs and some juice when a girl walked upto my table.

"Ash Zachary?" She inquired.

"Yes?", I replied with confusion.

"Your meeting is rescheduled for 1pm today, the clients got their flight delayed". She informs me.

"Thanks..uh" I say searching for her name tag.

"Pearl", she replies.

"Yeah right, thanks Pearl".

Damn! She indeed was a Pearl, she was beautiful. Casual and simple but...magnetic. yes that's the word.

After all this I head back to my room. I dismiss the thought of notifying Joe about the rescheduled meeting as he woke me up with that excessive pounding earlier that morning.
His room was just two rooms from mine. I just got an amazing idea to get my revenge for today.

"Hehe, evil laughter baby!". I laugh to myself. It is then that I notice that an elderly man is giving me weird look.

Huh? Don't people talk to themselves?
What world we live in *sigh*

At about 9:45 am when I wake up from the short nap I had been planning to take.

Shit! I couldn't miss him all dressed up heading for the meeting only to realise that he was way too early there.

I lightly open my door to peak outside. Nope no sight of him. As soon as I am about to close my door I hear a door opening. As I look who it is I smile creepily.

Joe Sienfiled payback is a bitch. You disturbed my sleep earlier today, I'm gonna watch you waste your time.

Joe as he calls himself is a very productive guy and doesn't like wasting any time. He'd rather read magazines just to not be not productive at times, at the same time he would spend hours on his skincare routine.

I just don't get him.

Joe heads towards the meeting area. I follow him silently, careful not to alert him of someone following him.

When I watch him take a seat at the table, I ask the nearby staff named 'jeff' to inform Joe that the meeting will begin shortly. He nods at the staff and revises his presentation. A few minutes later I get bored of watching him and head back to my room.

After what felt like two hours of watching TV I hear someone talking, no it was someone really frustrated.

I get up to see what was happening and there it is. A frustrated Joe talking to Pearl about the meeting. I could tell by his face that he was really pissed seeing that he wasted a solid hour doing nothing.

"But sir, I informed a member of your company." Pearl answered to whatever he had said earlier.

He got quite seeing me standing in the doorway.

"Ugh okay, I will be there by 1 pm for the rescheduled meeting", he replied to Pearl.
He glanced at me while saying the last two words.

"You!! you witch! I spent a solid hour waiting for the meeting to start." He said raising his voice as if he was really really angry.

"You shouldn't have."I replied casually examining my nails. This only seemed to add fuel to the fire.

"What!? You crazy woman, I revised that freakin presentationa dozen times, a dozen!"he replied shouting this time.

"Well that's what you get for ruining people's mornings. You shouldn't have ruined my morning mister. Now don't be a baby and get ready for the actual meeting scheduled in about forty five minutes." I completed glancing at my watch.

"You're an idiot and everything that comes out of your mouth is stupid." He said glaring at me.

"Of course I talk like an idiot, how else could you understand me?" I say feigning curiosity.

"Go to hell Ashley!". He half shouts at me before going to his room.

"My name isn't even Ashley."I reply in a bored tone just before he could close his door. After this I  head back to my room to get changed for the meeting.

Hey readers!

Comment what you think of this chapter.

Should I write long chapters or short?

Do you think Pearl will be there in the story ahead?
