Chapter 2

I was right it was the longest two days ever not only was it long, but it was a good start of the week. Not to mention my morning didn't start out to good either. I got into an argument with Luca over the stupidest thing. I even yelled at Cloud for not picking up the slack in school. He's missed to many classes and hasn't handed in one assignment. By this rate he'll fail and drop out of University.

"Sir the meeting that was suppose to take place tomorrow. It was switched from tomorrow to today," Becky was waiting for me at the elevator as usual.

"What?" I was genuinely confused.

"And those men that were here Monday are waiting for you in your office," she went quite causing me to stop to look at her.

"Is there something else that I need to know," she looked up at me with worry in her eyes.

"Mr. Reagan is also waiting in your office and Mr. Fredrickson and Mr. Thomas are holding the meeting with some of the investors and the board," she said it all fast kind of jumbling it together, but I heard her.

I sped up walking to the boardroom and sure enough when I walked in. The meeting was taking place without me and Mr. Reagan.

"What's the meaning of this?" I yelled startling the people in the boardroom and the office. I yelled loud enough to cause Mr. Reagan to come out of my office following three other people.

"What's with all the yelling for?" Mr. Reagan came pushing by the workers that gather around the boardroom.

"Sir did you know they were about they were having a secret meeting with the investors and board members without you or I present?" I only figured out it was a secret meeting when Becky told me the meeting was moved.

"Yes," he stated like it happens every day.

"Wha..." not the smart thing to say in this situation, but it's all I could say.

"Oh you two," Mr. Reagan pointed at Fredrickson and Thomas, "are fired and take your useless sectaries with you. As for the rest of you in the future you'll await my announcement for my successor, 'til then I suggest you gather up your things and leave the building in a calm and rational manner. Good day!" he turned and walked away and over his shoulder he called, "Oh and Mr. Hayes do come along, we have business to discuss."

Without a word I followed, but as I walking to follow I saw three figures watching Mr. Reagan' back as he made his way to the elevator. I made my way past them, but not before stopping and telling them to follow me.

"After you," I stuck my arm out, but still not looking at them I was looking at the elevator. When no one walked past to go to the elevator I looked in their direction to see that Keagan and Hopper looking to their left, so curiosity got the best of me I looked that way too.

I really thought this wasn't going to be too awkward, but I was wrong.

"Well, we did do as you suggested. We brought a lawyer," Hopper was the one speaking, but he was still looking at the person to his left, as was I. I stood frozen to the spot and not able to make a movement. Everything around me seemed to disappeared and it was just the two of us.

I was brought back to reality by him, "I'm Stryker Rivera," he stuck his hand out like it was nothing. I guess he wants to pretend we don't know each other.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hayes," so I shook his hand, but I still felt numb, "if you all can just fellow me. Then we shall get this matter dealt with."

We all made our way onto the elevator and waited for the lift. This is going to be a long wait.

Work was done and I was open to the door to my apartment and was greeted with the delicious smell of past being cooked.

"Lucy I'm home," I yelled to announce my arrival and to piss off Luca.

"Haha, how was work?" he mocked laugh before asking me.

"If we have wine, let just say, bring out the strongest we have in the house."

He turned from the stove and looked at me, what I saw caused me to laugh, "ok before I ask 'what's wrong?' why are you laughing?"

"You have some spaghetti sauce on your face," I took off my shoes and walked to the kitchen island to watch him cook.

"So what's wrong? And why do I have to bring out the strong stuff?" Luca asked once he wiped his face cleaned, "oh before I forget. Dan, Tyler and little Nora are coming over for dinner."

"Well you better hope you made enough for a couple of more people," I rubbed my head I forgot we always get together before Friday and on Friday we have night out to ourselves.

"What do you mean?" he put down the spoon he was using to stir the sauce and turned around.

"Well you know how I always invite new clients that signed on over to dinner," Luca nod his head, "well today I had to invite Hopper, Keagan, and Stryker for dinner tonight. Along with their families." I was looking down on the kitchen island and fiddling with the spice rack, when I heard no response I looked up to see that Luca went pale.

"Tonight?" I nod my head to say yes.

"What's cooking good looking," Cloud came walking through the door. Why is he so late? He better not have been with that guy. He knows I don't approve of him.

"um...spaghetti....I" Luca had a spaced out look and wasn't really answering Cloud's question.

"Are you alright?" I got up and went around the island to check his forehead for a fever. It was normal. He slapped my hands away.

"I'm alright. It just that you caught me off guard, it's a good thing I never learned how to make less food," that's why he was pale, he was worried if he had made enough. I gave a chuckled and kissed his forehead, "well I'm going to take a shower. Call me when dinners ready."

I walked away feeling two sets of eyes burning holes in my back. Man today sure has been weird. Like when we got inside Mr. Reagan's office he offered Hopper and Codie the positions of president and vice-president. He also offered to help out Stryker's little law firm he set up from his home. I guess he got to know them before I even got to make an offer to them.

Then again I did learn from the best. Always get them before they can say no or something like that. I wonder how dinner is going to go.
