Saved By The One & Only

A new perspective

Amy's POV:

"Mr. Anderson is requesting to see you." Anabel's voice snaps me out of my work.

"Thanks Anabel." I say to her as I push back from my chair.

Ridiculous. It's almost the end of the day and now is when he wants to see me.

I grab my phone and purse as I head towards his office with clear annoyance displayed all over my face.

I knock on the door and head inside upon me hearing him say enter.

As I enter I notice that he's facing the sky line and I mentally remind myself that I'm angry with him.

He turns around.

Damn it.

He looks amazing.

"I'm sorry I didn't get to pick you up last night, it took longer than necessary." His face is solemn.

I nod my head in understanding.

"I know that yesterday we agreed to have dinner tonight but I have to rain check. I have to attend a dinner with Genoveve and her father's benefactors."

Right...

"Say something." He says just as he takes a step forward.

"What is there to say. You have your dinner and I'm on my way home now." I say to him with as much calmness as I can although the passive aggressiveness wasn't missed.

Suddenly my phone starts to ring and I notice that it's Aiden calling.

"Who is it?" His tone changing suddenly.

"It's Aiden." I click the phone to silence it just as I notice the anger now visible on his face.

"You need to tell him that you won't be seeing him again."

The door flies open and Genoveve walks in.

"Damon, I have Ronaldo here from the West Sector he's ready to meet with you. Caroline is also on her way." Her tone clearly happy that she's barging in on us.

I take one look at her before looking at him and walking out of his office.

I hear him call after me but I continue walking towards the elevator.

******************
"Thank god it's Tuesday, we're almost half way through the week." Violet murmurs as we're on our way to his office to brief him about the Christmas Gala.

"I'm just glad it's almost time for lunch!" Mikayla chimes in shortly after just as we reach the entrance of his office.

"Well done. I think we're ahead of schedule. I won't be here for the next couple of meetings but I'm sure you can fill me in before the end of the month. After lunch we'll discuss the financial details. Thank you." He finishes in that oh so business tone that causes me to almost sag with relief.

He's been staring at me the entire meeting and I've done my very best to avoid staring at him for too long but it's almost impossible.

Soon enough the three of us stand up and get ready to walk towards the door when his words stop me dead in my tracks.

"Amelia, a word."

Violet and Mikayla give me a small smile before heading out and I close my eyes briefly before turning around to face him.

"Yes." I manage to say as he pushes back from his chair and begins to stand.

"This is ridiculous." He lets out a breath exasperated.
