Meeting Marshall Mathers: The Later Years

Shattered hearts and shattered windscreens.

"I'm gonna have to call you back mum" my mouth dropped in surprise as I rolled up to my parking space at the office,

"Honey I've not spoken to you in a while, I've just got on the phone to you"

"I know but there's a.. situation, at the office, I'll call you later okay?"

"Okay well make sure that you do Jodes. I love you"

"I love you too mum." I ended the call as I put down my window to a couple of paparazzi with their cameras on parade,

"What are you doing here?" I frowned as I parked my vehicle,

"Miss Mayer how are we today?" One smiled eagerly at me,

"Cut the bullshit" I rolled my eyes,

"You're looking as beautiful as ever. Can you confirm that you and Eminem are getting back together?" The other asked as I turned my engine back on and rolled up my window, I then reversed back and revved my vehicle up to them to shit them up as they dived out of the way. I moved back into my parking spot and exited the car,

"Next time I'll run you over" I locked my car as they stayed back,

"Is it true that you're pregnant with a Eminem's child and that's the reason you've both reconciled?" The youngest one snapped a photo of me,

"Why are you taking photos of me? Do I look pregnant to you?"

"So you deny the pregnancy claims?"

"Venomously. You're both trespassing on my property so I'll ask politely just this once.. please, fuck off"

"Have a wonderful day Miss. Mayer!" They scurried off.

After an early morning dance class I showered and got changed into a tailored pencil skirt suit for one of the biggest meetings to date with one of the globes biggest fitness brands, Peloton.
Marshall had made them aware of my business and had told them we wanted to help with sponsorship so I was extremely thankful to him for chucking us a big ass bone. To him it was nothing but to us it was like throwing a tonne of juicy buffalos into the lions den. As I finished emailing a client my intercom on my desk went live as Brooke buzzed through to me,

"Good morning Miss. Mayer, there is someone here to see you, but I don't have any notes in my diary about her"

"Morning Brooke. I don't have any bookings because of the Peloton meeting that I'm getting ready to leave for, she'll need to schedule an appointment"

"Uhm yeah see I tried to tell her that already, but.. she's pretty insistent that she speaks with you now, sorry Miss. Mayer"

"Brooke I really don't have time for this, if she's bothering you call security.."

"Hi hun.. you might want to come see me don't ya think?" I heard Ashley's voice come through the radio. For fuck sake.. not now.. not today of all fucking days!

"See her through please Brooke" I spoke through gritted teeth. I was livid, I was needing to leave in half an hour, I didn't have time to be fighting and redoing my hair, not to mention turning up to one of my most important meetings to date with a bust lip and a black eye.
I stayed seated behind my desk and put away my laptop to make sure that she couldn't grab it and throw it across the room, the stuff it had on it was gold dust.
Within a mere moment there was a knock at my door, Brooke then emerged and opened the door wider to allow Ashley into my office. She politely thanked Brooke who looked to me as I nodded for her to be dismissed from this intense atmosphere that was already brooding,
