Hands To Heaven

Strong Feelings

Christian
Things are running smoothly and Elliott has built my dream building and I have decorated it very nicely. All the women in my life have created a warm welcoming environment for me to work in. What is best about it is it lulls people into a false sense of security and they are shocked when I play hard ball. I have hired some of the best people to get me where I am and they are very good at what they do. Anastasia is my CFO at this point, Roz Bailey is my COO and I have hired Lyle as my head of HR. He went to college to learn how to hire fire and evaluate employee applications along with his ability to see through bull without interviewing the person. It is rare that anyone fools him. Background checks can be changed easily. Barney Miller was one who changed his background check and his mother informed us that he was 14 not 18 like he had said he was. His computer skills were so phenomenal that I spoke personal to Nina Miller about hiring him anyway. We agreed to certain terms and he already had his work permit. He was basically our head of IT and paid very well. His mother was in charge of his work hours and he had to listen to her. That changed when he turned 18 and graduated college. Both in the same year. We placed Nina in Hr overseeing the interns and the minors who were still in school. She knew the laws forward and backward on maintaining the underage staff. She definitely got some good people in from area high schools and tech schools. They had to get their GED or something that they could use to work the job they applied for.

I have audits ran for my department on a regular basis and I had Barney create some software to run down any problems with peoples errors on entering the numbers and possibly embezzling money from GEH, so far only errors have been made. I had to fire one young lady because her error was due to her inability to actually do her job. She was very diligent when she first started working here. Unfortunately she fell in love with Christian, I can see he has some good looks, but I can't see drooling over the man. Bet hey I have known him since we were very young. I know him differently. He can be really charming to get what he wants from a company and then they discover another side if they try to change the deal on him. It's his way or the highway. He has had women company owners try to seduce him. I saw one in action and he had me play his fiancé to put an end to her nonsense. Because I am five foot two and 90 pounds and she was five feet nine and 135 pounds she thought she could bully me into giving Christian up. I laughed at her and of course she didn't like that at all. She waited until I was away from GEH to pull out all the stops, she tried to have me kidnapped. It failed because I have coverts along with a gun and a carry and conceal license. It was a good thing I brought my gun and bullet proof vest with me that day. They shot at my tires and blew them out. I was a sitting duck in my car. Elsa Reynolds sent her men to end my life. She sat waiting as she thought it wouldn't take long. A cop pulled up behind her car and the coverts grabbed the men she hired to kill me. Then six police cars surrounded us and they had heard the gun fire and finally caught up to us. Elsa was arrested and charged with attempted murder and ordering my death. The men tried to play dumb but the bullets matched their guns. Christian protects his key people.

I met the strangest woman when Mia and I went shopping for a gown for our first party with her family. There is no good way to describe Elena Lincoln and her joining our private conversation was just the beginning of what we didn't need. She told us all about her salon and we were polite and all, but when she spoke about Christian and she had a business proposition for him, Mia blew her stack and told the woman that she hears it all the time and does not get into her brother business at all. Plus she finds it outlandish approaching his family members to put in a good word for them. If she won't do it for family and friends she won't do it for complete strangers. We excused ourselves after that. Anastasia was joining us but apparently someone tried to kill her on her way home and she was at the police station giving a statement. Christian and Carrick were with her. Dad was headed that way. The drama she goes through working at GEH. I work at dads and he keeps an eye on me. I got my degree in designing furniture and woodworking from scratch. Dad was happy to see me following in his footsteps. I do very delicate work. Roger helps with the heavy lifting and he works with Elliott otherwise. I think dad is getting lonely lately and he has been trying to ask one of his regular customers out, but feels uncomfortable about it. I picked up the dress and accessories for Anastasia and bought myself an outfit for the party. Mia had our bodyguards keep Elena at a distance.

Elena
I decided to approach Mia Grey so I can see if she can get me a meeting with Christian Grey her brother so I can show him my business proposal. He won't take my calls or set an appointment with me. Richard has told me that Christian is not interested in helping me expand my ridiculously expensive salon and spas. I tried very hard to get Mia to help get a meeting as a favor and she told me that she doesn't get meeting with him for family and friends she sure wouldn't for a complete stranger. They both excused themselves and walked off to look at more dresses. I tried to hear what the event was but was asked to keep my distance by a very good looking man with a scowl on his face. Oh what I could do to this fine specimen of a man. He told me to either keep away from Miss Grey or he would have the cops come to arrest me. I moved away from the area. I tried to find out what event Mia was buying a dress to go to, but no one would discuss it with me.

Elsa Reynolds
I am sitting here waiting to be fingerprinted after being given my Miranda and the handcuffs are just how I like them. I am twiddling my fingers while waiting to get out on bail. I see Anastasia Steele the fiancé of my soon to be husband if I have my way. I have my way all the time. My men are going to be released as well.

They arraigned me on Monday morning and bail is set for a million dollars for me and the same for my men. My attorney posts our bail after I sign all the right documents to post my mens bail as well. I have my attorney call my driver to pick me up to go change clothing. After three days in jail I need a de lousing and along hot shower and my clothing thrown out.

Carrick
I got restraining orders against Elsa Reynolds and her men, it is a waste of paper but I need to get it in writing and filed with the courts. They can't come near Anastasia or Christian for any reason. I can't believe that they were released on bail. It was a big bail though.
