Weave Of Fate: Rock My World

Pin Pricks

Xia/Grace POV

Lisa's cousin will be starting today.  Fresh out of college, so I hope she wants to work hard.  I walk into the lobby and see Lisa getting her cousin, her ID.  I walk over "Lisa morning" I say "Boss this is Ally" she introduces

"Hello Ally, I hope you are ready for some hard-work?" I tell her "Hi yeah, I hope its not boring?" she says while chewing gum.  I glance at Lisa who slaps her cousin on the back of the head.  "I can ask Aunty to find someone else?" she warns

"Grace, good morning" Shen says and I turn around smiling "hello handsome!" Ally says stepping in front of me.  I look at Lisa and shake my head.  "Ally can I see your ID?" I say and she passes it over her shoulder not taking her eyes from Shen.

"Please cancel it!  Ask your aunty to find someone who wants to work, not flirt?" I tell Lisa "Sorry Shen, I've asked for a secretary come runner and obviously haven't found the right person yet" I tell him moving around Ally.

"He smiles at me, no problem I've got that info you wanted" he says as we begin to walk to the elevator.  "Where did my pass go?" we hear Ally ask Lisa "you can go home, I've already texted aunty" Lisa replies.  We don't hear anymore as we enter the elevator.

"My friend gave me the companies info that did their soundproofing.  I called and they said they'd need to see the space first?" he tells me

"If you send me the info, I'll pass it on to Stew and they can arrange it for themselves, thank you" I say, we arrive at my floor and I wave as I get off the elevator.

"Stew, I've been given a company that will soundproof your bedroom.  Please get it done quickly for the sake of the team?" I inform him "yes, hear that lover.  I'm going to be rocking your world soundly?" he boasts to Doug

I send the details once I receive them and not half an hour later Stew is in my office "I'll be leaving for a bit to show them the room, I want done.  Be back after lunch" he says I wave him away and he leaves.

Lisa walks into my office "sorry about Ally Boss, I didn't know she was that forward" she apologises "we live and learn, just glad we caught it before she was able to make any real trouble" I say looking on the positive side.

"I had to drag her out and have her brother pick her up she kept saying, I was keeping her from her future husband" she tells me shaking her head.

"I'm sure I could always ask Shen to find us help, but I think he's worried that someone that has been here for a while could have relations with people that might want to cause trouble for a new designer like me" I confess

"Don't worry, after speaking to my aunty she will definitely find someone willing to work" she assures me. Left alone again, I get down to answering some emails and making appointments with other warehouses.

Shen POV

I don't know why I'm so happy now its Friday.  Even my driver noticed how good my mood was.  "Shen come have lunch with me?" Kitty says waltzing in to my office. 

"Sorry busy" I tell her not looking up from my work.  "All work is not very good for your health?" she persists, I look up and stare at her when she begins to fidget, I raise my eyebrow at her as she is not leaving.  She sighs before turning and leaving my office. 

I check my phone and see it is indeed lunch time. I call Xia "hey want to grab lunch on the way?" I ask "sure it will make a change" she agrees "I'm leaving now" I tell her before ending the call.

I tell my secretary that he is not to get in touch with me unless its an emergency.  "If anyone asks I'm just out of the office?" I instruct, at his nod I walk to the elevator.
