Lex POV

I suddenly had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Was I nervous about Amanda Gold? No way, that couldn't be it. Why did I suddenly feel a sudden burst of dread and disgust?

Maybe it actually was the prospect of seeing Amanda Gold.

I shook off the feeling and tried to concentrate on what my mother was saying.

I sighed as my mother continued to talk about how great Amanda Gold was.

If you asked me, it I had to base her greatness from last night, she was alright.

I just reluctantly nodded my head not even listening to her.

My father and mother sat beside me with three empty chairs in front of us. My father just sat there and let my mother run her mouth. Like always.

"They have a club house in Napa Valley. We have discussed just clearing it out for a day for the six of us. She does have a sibling but unfortunately wouldn't be able to-"

My thoughts began to drift off to Rachel. I wondered what she was doing. Hopefully Staci wasn't too tough on her.

Crap, why did I care? Who cares? All my employees had to be in tip top shape. The smartest and quickest out there.

"LEX!" My mother screeched. "Are you listening to me?"

"To be perfectly honest mother," I yawned as I stretched, "Not really."

"Oh you are deplorable! They're almost here."

"Fine, I'll feign interest then." I yawned. I heard a snicker come from my father.

The quicker I got out of here the quicker I could return to Rache-, I mean work! Back to work.

Ugh. I needed to stop thinking about her. A few minutes later Amanda Gold and her parents walked in. Typical socialite family. Great.

I greeted them with proper manners as I was taught. I smirked as I saw Amanda Gold.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Lex." I greeted as I shook her hand.

"Pleasure," She purred, "I'm Amanda. I've heard a lot about you."

I held in my disgust and sat down. This was going to be a long luncheon.

__________________________

I was glad as hell to get out of there. Throughout the whole lunch Amanda was playing footsy with me and shooting me "sexy" glares. Bullshit.

I was hoping that would be the last time I saw her.

"I want you to marry that woman." My mother declared in the car.

"Excuse me?" I laughed.

"You heard me, she's perfect. Isn't that right honey?" She asked my father. He just grumbled.

"No fucking way."

"Hey, watch your mouth!" My mother screeched.

"I'm only 23, I'm not getting married." I growled.

"If you want inherit this business you will do as I say!" She shouted.

I glared my eyes at her. This damn witch!

"You cannot do this!" I shouted back.

"Watch me." She threatened. The rest of the car ride was hell. I had to restrain myself from choking my own mother. I took in sharp deep breaths trying to contain my anger.

--------------------------

I woke up the next day still pissed off. I was tired of my mother controlling my life.

I drove to the office gripping the steering wheel. My blood was rushing.

I got to my office and quickly tossed my keys at the valet. I didn't even look at anyone. Adrenaline was pumping through me and I had to release it.

I got to my desk and sat down trying to calm down. I couldn't believe my mother's words affected me like this.

I heard a knock at the door. I looked up and saw Staci walk in.

She wore a tight skirt that sat right below her butt. A revealing blouse that cut low and exposed her bosom.

"Mr. Sterling, I have the documents you asked for..." She said solemnly.

I couldn't stop staring. My blood began to race faster. I was confusing my thoughts of anger with passion.

"Staci..." I growled as I closed my eyes.

"Yes Mr. Sterling." She said as I heard her heels click. She was coming closer. Damn it.

"Is Rachel coming in today?" I said my eyes still closed.

There was a slight pause but she answered with a "No, she is not. I oriented her yesterday. We already set a schedule." She said.

"Good. Come here." I said under my breath. As she made her way towards me. I opened my eyes and saw the devious look in her eyes.

"Sit here." I said as I pointed to my lap. What the hell was I doing!?

She complied and placed the papers on the desk. Once she sat on my lap, I went in a devoured her lips.
