Saving Laila

Chapter 1

Deans POV)

"YOU'RE FIRED" I yelled at my assistant. God people can be so incompetent sometimes. She sent me the wrong data numbers for a meeting that is in less than 15 minutes.

" I'm sorry sir, please I need this job. Don't give up on me please!" She desperately begs me but I'm not paying attention . I have to fix her mistake and get down to the meeting room.

"Pack your shit and be gone by the time I'm out of my meeting Delana" I say through gritted teeth while trying not to throw something across the room.

I walk back to my cabin and slam the door shut trying to calm the anger in me. I know I have major anger issues but when it comes to the company me and my buddy build nothing can stand in the way of its success. No matter how big or small the problem is.

After I get the numbers fixed and make it to the meeting I breathe a sigh of relief seeing I had a minute to breath before everyone would be walking in.

At the end of the meeting I got the answer I was looking for and can look to build a new string of hotels.

I hear a knock and signal the person to come in. In comes my best friend. The man that helped build this company from the ground up. Ashton Carter, who helped to create Maxwell&Carter Co.

"Ash if it isn't the person I was looking for" I say while standing up and walking towards him as we are heading to a celebratory dinner.

"Yeah yeah yeah. I heard you fired Delana today. What happened this time? This is your 3rd PA in 6 months." he says while shaking his head at me

"Well it's not my fault that my original one had to retire. No one does their job like she did, she made things easy and simple. All these other people are messing up and eventually going to cause some major issues that I will have to go behind and fix '' I say and throw on my suit jacket following Ashton out the door and into the elevator.

"How are you and Faith doing?" I ask Ashton. Faith is his girlfriend of 3 years. He looks to settle down but I on the other hand don't do relationships. All girls only want is what they see, money and fame. Faith is the only girl I've met that doesn't act that way.

"We're good. She's been busty recently at the cafe since the owner just laid off like 2 other servers'" He says and gets that love sick look in his eyes that I hate so much. Don't get me wrong I am happy he's happy but that could never be me. Never will be me. 

When we got down to the first floor I walked out the building to find my driver Ed waiting for me and as I slid into the backseat I closed my eyes and leaned against the seat trying to relax as Ed drives around Seattle.
