"How is this happening?" Ana asked no one in particular.

"Two days in a row?! Are you stalking me?" Christian accused.

"I've more important things to do than stalking creeps," Ana scoffed.

The sound of someone clearing their throat stopped both Ana and Christian. Surprised, they turned to look at the other person in the room. They had forgotten that they weren't alone. "Hi. I'm Kate Kavanagh. How do you two know each other?" Kate asked, raising her eyebrow.

"He's the one who ruined my $500 Louboutins," Ana said.

At the same time, Christian said, "She ruined my $2000 suit."

"Um..." Kate hesitated. She didn't know how to handle this unique situation.

"Why are you here, anyway?" Christian asked, frowning.

"I'm Anastasia Steele from 'The Steele House' book store and library. Kate and I are here for a meeting with Mr. Grey," Ana replied taking a deep breath, calmer than before. "We'd like it if you would inform your boss of our arrival," she added.

"What boss?! I'm Christian Grey, the founder and CEO of Grey Enterprise Holdings, Inc." he introduced, standing straighter.

"That still doesn't change the fact that you're a jerk and a creep," Ana stated casually.

Kate panicked. "Ana!" she hissed.

"I'm not a creep, okay?" Christian protested.

"You..." Ana started saying something when they were interrupted.

"STOP! BOTH OF YOU!" Kate yelled sternly. "You're both adults and professionals. How could either of you behave like this?" she scolded. "Keep aside what happened in the past and let's start over," she suggested, or more like commanded.

Taking a deep breath to calm his irritation, Christian offered his hand. "Hello. I'm Christian Grey," he said.

"Pleased to meet you, Mr. Grey. I'm Kate Kavanagh, The Steele House's lawyer."

"Please take a seat," Christian said before turning to the other female in the room. He found her giving him suspicious looks. He raised his eyebrow at her.

"Anastasia Steele," Ana muttered, taking his hand, "and I wasn't stalking you," she added.

"Neither was I. It's pure coincidence that we met three times in the last two days," he said, gesturing towards an empty seat.

The meeting went well, but both Ana and Christian were wary of each other the whole time. Kate noticed how they kept glancing at each other with distrustful looks, and sighed. She could feel a headache coming.

"Why the hell did you react like that? You never act like that. You always say that even if expensive, it's nothing but a pair of shoes. So why are you angry at that guy over a pair of shoes?" Kate asked bluntly as the door of the elevator closed behind them.
