Nova

Chapter 1

Nova POV

"I can't believe that my little princess is going to get married." My mother squeals. She's been getting more excited since the wedding was less than half a year away.

My thumb plays with my engagement ring not paying attention to what she says. My mind has been thinking of anything but my wedding or my future husband. I've been keeping my mind off it, if I pretend it doesn't exist it wouldn't make me as worried.

Not the best tactic but it's working for now.

"Nova," she says.

"Nova love," she says again. I don't remember this part of the conversation.

As soon as my dear husband puts his hand on my left stopping me from playing with my rings I look up at everyone.

I was currently sitting in a meeting about a new hotel Ásair Enterprise was taking on. We talked about the hotel's layout if I agreed they would start building as soon as Monday. Today was Friday so if I agreed in less than seventy-two hours they would start building.

I've had them email their presentations an hour before the meeting so I had an idea of what to expect.

From what I saw the layout was good but not great. I don't plan to give my ok on something that I wouldn't be proud of in the future.

Before reading their presentation I made sure to read the requirements of the owners of the hotel. It was close to what they wanted but it didn't wow me, what I saw.

"And that's the end of the presentation," the young team leader smiles, his smile was nervous. I was known for not showing emotions during these meetings.

When it comes to business I have no soft spots for anyone. The man in front of me was a person with a dream and I was not going to crush it but that doesn't mean I'll let it live. I'll put it on life support.

"It was great," Kyree, my dear husband, says first, "what do you think love?" He and the rest of the room turn to me waiting for an answer.

"It was quite bland, yes you and your team filled the requirements but I'm not signing off on it," I see the light in his eyes diminish," there could be some changes. If you add something and remove others. I'm giving you until three o'clock tomorrow to fix it or I'll design the hotel myself. Do I make myself clear," He nods while no one else tries to correct me.

"Alright we'll get it done by three," the man says.

"The supplies you asked to buy are too expensive. Yes, we want good quality but you don't need to spend a lot if you know the right companies. My assistant will give you a list, use it, and hopefully make this presentation better. If you do that then you and your entire team will be in charge of building Blue Hotels"

He nods knowing I just give him a chance, something I don't do often if I don't like the direction that you're going in.

If it has potential I'll give you a shot, if not I'll send you out and you can try again next time.

With my final word, he started to clean up while the rest of the room started to leave. Kyree stays seated as the last person leaves the room closing the door behind them.

"Do you have to be such a bitch Noelle?" he sneers. How cute we're going back to the pet names.

"Me being a bitch was what got us to the top sweetheart, so if you don't like it." I step away from him shrugging," too bad because I do not care, Giovanni,"
