Strictly Professional ~ Onceler x fem reader fanfic

~CHPTR3 the meeting~

After making appearances at Merry Hill , you decided to take a detour on your way back to the factory. As you drove through the truffula forest, you stared in pride at your land. Yours. No matter how many times you saw it, it always took your breath away. Various colours filled your view, the tufts shimmering in the sunlight. As you parked your car near the end of your owned land, you glanced at a new structure, the skeleton of a factory , significantly smaller than yours however. As you leaned against your car , glaring at the newcoming factory, you felt pressure on your foot. The small orange creature furrowed his eyebrows at you, staring with intent.

"You broke your promise" he started

"I have a business to upkeep, no time for pests like you Lorax."

"You promised not to harm this forest, as the guardian of this here forest I sp-"

" Ahta ta ta" You knelt down to his level.

" I've heard this one before, I am not chopping them down anymore so what are you still complaining for?"

" You know thats not what I mean , besides your not the one I'm worried about when it comes to missing trees" He said

" I am perfectly legal , I am doing nothing wrong , and I am going to keep the customers happy with- wait what?"

" Word of warning Y/N , careful who you associate yourself with" The lorax spoke mysteriously.

He walked off without a word, leaving you confused and slightly unnerved. It had been years since you had seen the Lorax , since you stopped chopping down the trees and had invented your 'Tuft taker'. Lighting a cigarette, you repeated The lorax's words in your head , confusion fogging your mind.

5pm soon came , as you thoughts were interrupted by a knock at your office doors.

"Enter"

" Ma'am he has arrived, they are waiting in conference room 3" Sam spoke.

" Right"

As your heels clacked against the shiny marble floor, you held your head high, as you always did when you made appearances. As Sam opened the conference room door for you , you were met with a full table of your employees, and his you assumed.

At the far end of the table, he sat there , his large hat making for a noticeable appearance. He didn't look like how you expected. He stood up. He was tall and slim, adorned with large green gloves and a green suit to match. He wore sunglasses , somewhat comical to you. His raven hair swept to the side.

His whole appearance was rather annoying to you. You preferred a more conserved appearance , dressed in a high end suit that had been tailored to hug your curves. You had slight cleavage showing through your silk deep red shirt.

As you took in the atmosphere of the room , you could tell where he was looking. He looked you up and down before starting towards you in a domineering manner. You straightened your posture further than natural, silently thanking your high heels for the added height. You were tall , but appreciated the affect your enhanced height had on people, especially men.

"We finally meet , Miss L/N" He shook your hand as you mustered an unimpressed expression.

" Evening , Mr Onceler, I have been told your company holds potential" You glanced at his hand , it had not left yours yet. You pulled your hand away from his as you could see his eyes glance from your eyes to your chest. You didnt mind much, it allowed for a great use of manipulation and you knew how men were.

"Please sit" You glanced to his former seat and he made his way to sit down the long table, you at the opposite end.

"So , to start, I am assuming you have heard of my growing company ? " Onceler stated, no doubt in his tone.

Now you could humble him you thought , he needs to know who's in charge here.
" Actually Mr Onceler, my secretary informed me of your company just this morning , I dont recall a Thneed Inc entering my radar until today" you stated frankly.

A few amused murmurs could be heard across the table, though your face remained straight, glaring Onceler down intimidatingly.

"I see , allow me to show you" He spoke, a tinge of annoyance evident in his voice.
