Tainted

Chapter 4

I walked inm feet exhausted from the heels i collapse onto my bed. Bonded together... Me, bonded to Vladimir? The thought of bondage and Vladimir turn extoic in my head, i shake the thoughts away. I go take a shower and get ready for bed.

i had to be at work extra esrly this morning to prepare for another meeting sadly, how many am i gonna have this week? Im one of the few to arrive in the confrence room, voices filled the hall an apprached the room, Mr. Godfrey is accompanied by Vladimir and another young handomse gentlemen. He was tall, blonde with blue eyes. He looked like your typical playboy but very suave. Looking my direction he smiles widely, coming to approach me. Watch this guys gonna be a prick. " Out of all these people you seem the most enthusiastic to be here." He joked. " what can i say, boring pointless lectures are my thing." I smile. Ok so far funny. " skylar walker." He holds his hand out an i take it, he bring my hand up to hid lips an kisses my hand. Is this a common thing now? " Scarlette Ember." I replied.

" you excited for todays meeting, heard big things are going to be happening." Skylar asked. " you know me, always excited to here the next asswhole lecturing about bullshit, wave his shiny cufflings around and talk about himself for two an a half hours." I stated, skylar smirked, i could feel Vladimirs eyes onnus like a hawk. Could you not stare a hole in me please? He looked away, attemtping to act instrited in the conversation. Thank you. Skylar looked in my direction, " boyfriend of yours?" He asked. " No, what makes you say that?" I asked curiously. " minus the fact he hasnt taken his eyes off of you, just assumed, but i see. Youre beauty is the focal point of this room." Skylar winks an we begin the meeting.

For the first fifteen minutes Godrey lectured about nonscence like normal. " now to really get to talking about business, Mr.walker will take it away." My mouth dropped, hes the asswhole giving the speech, i began to feel small an slowly sink down in my seat. Skylars face is lit with humor. " Thank you Godfrey. Good morning everyone, i promise i wont be another assehole standing here waving my cuff links around for hours talking about nonscence." Everone starts to laugh, skylar looks in my direction an winks. From the corner of my eye i could see Vladimir stairing Skylar down. Will you stop murdering him with your eyes! Vladimir looks in my direction an raises his eye brow at me.

After the meeting i head to my office go get a bit of peace and quite. " how was that for another asswhole an shiny cuff links?" Skylar crept into my office. " im sorry, i didnt kno-"
" dont apologize, i can be an asswhole at times." Skylar laughs. " Besides you can make it up to me over some drinks." He smiled. " as appealing as that sounds, getting drinks with my bosses boss isnt quite professional." I say, walking over to his side, jesus he smells good too. " Good point, we can go on buisness terms then. Theres nothing wrong with having dinner with an employee over buisness is there?" This guys good, an i guess one dinner wouldnt hurt. " youre quite pursuasive Mr. Walker, i guess ill take you on that offer, nine o'clock?" Im going on a date with my bosses boss, how fried is that? Skylar comes closer an kisses my cheeck. " nine o'clock Ms. Ember." Then he dissapears out the door.

I get my things ready to leave an jump on an elevator, it stops on the next floor down, finding Vladimir on the other side. " dinner with the bosses boss,huh." He said to himself. " where you in my head again?" I ask angrily. " you forget, my sences are highten, such as my hearing." Vladimir teased. "Its a buisness dinner, why do you care?" I was getting irritated. " its my job to care about whats mine." Vladimir stared down at me his eyes growing dark. His? When did i become a piece of property? The doors opened leading to the lobby, " the night you drunk my blood." Vladimir whispers in my ear as he walks away. You son of a bitch.

Mia was still at work, when i got home i went straight for my bed. Im physically and mentally exhausted, i need a nap, epically before tonight. Not bothering to change my clothes i allow myself to drift off into my dream land.
