Chapter 5

CPOV

This morning's jog was consumed by the few photos of Ana sent from the PI in Portland. How is it that someone I've only spoken to for a few minutes can get under my skin this way? There is something about her that I can't shake. Hell, she even invaded my dreams last-night, they were so erotically charged I had to rub one out before climbing out of bed then again in the shower after my run. Not that it did any good. Perhaps I'm not like most, I find masturbation unsatisfying, preferring a soft warm body to pleasure my cock.

Stepping off the elevator at GEH, Andrea always at the ready with my coffee and Wall Street Journal.

Nodding my good-mornings to Andrea and Olivia who immediately gets flustered. Shit I can almost hear her knees knocking. Glancing over to Andrea "Come see me. I have ten minutes."

"Yes sir." grabbing her i-pad I can hear the clicking of her heels hit the marble floor as she walks behind me.

Before sitting down in my chair I start in "Andrea, it's glaringly obvious that Olivia internship is not working out she lacks spine and is incapable of looking at me without drooling. You need to find placement."

"Sir, I agree and have taken the initiative by making inquiries for a replacement with a headhunter. I was going to email you their resumes."

nodding not that she needs reminding "Andrea I only want to review your top five candidates for this position. Also, make sure proper procedures are upheld and forward the information following your inspection."

"Yes of course Mr. Grey. I would like to add that Olivia is a good employee and instead of terminating when her contract expires next month.... Sir, may I give you my honest assessment?" nodding to her "I think moving Olivia into an entry position in the Logistics and Shipping department would be a good fit. She's shown an aptitude for organizational details and numbers. She really is quite smart, just not cutout to be my backup."

Again Andrea proves how much of an asset she is. Now if only everyone at GEH was as efficient as her, my company would run smoother. " Thank you Andrea, I'll take your suggestion under advisement. Anything else to discuss?"

"No sir" standing she cradles the ipad "Thank you.

turning my attention to the computer "Andrea get Welch on the phone"

"Yes Sir"

sitting at my desk, Andrea interrupts my thoughts of Anastasia as I hear her voice on the speaker "Mr. Grey, Welch on line one."

Picking up the receiver "The request I put in last night regarding Miss Steele, how much longer will it take you?"

"Mr. Grey, I'm almost finished. If you like, I can send what I have acquired or send the report in an hours time."

"I want the information by 11am, understood?"

"Yes sir."

Feeling devoid of any motivation for working I walk to the glass walls in my office and stare the snowy peak that is Mt Rainier. Again my mind wanders to what Anastasia and what she's is doing at this moment. She must still be in class. The last update I got from my eyes in Vancouver showed her and Kate arriving at WSU at 7:45am with Ana lugging a travel bag around with her. She must be leaving for Seattle as soon as classes are over.

The telephone ringing snaps me out of my daydreams.

Picking up the phone "Grey"

I hear Ros on the other end. "Grey, Howard transferred the money plus some."
