Chapter 6 - Bad Choices (Coles POV)

Drake Tazz is a fucking jackass, his dear old daddy just retired and made him CEO so of course he is going to try and show off. He wants a big bash to showcase his new title and nothing is good enough for the little twat, he throws out every idea contributed while he doesn't give any ideas of his own and he wants me to make a new wine in his honour, amateur. I check my phone and see a dozen msgs from Annika, one from Kathleen, two from Drakes assistant and one from Ace. I Immediately open the one from Ace, my best bud Hey, let's get together tonight at club Tric, its a new hot scene, lots of sexy ladies - its the go to place for models. I better see you later man!

I walk into my building and am greeted by several employees, I ignore them all and make my way to my private elevator. When I reach my floor Norma smiles and hands me the message book. I thank her and walk to my office. I open the door hoping to see Sophia but I'm greeted with a messy office. What the fuck! Did I not tell her to clean this up? She probably thinks I'm just joking with her, I will increase her working hours and make her life a living hell. I storm over to my desk to put my briefcase case down so I can go give Sophia a piece of my mind but I stop halfway there when I see blood and not just a few drops, a lot of blood. What the fuck, I call the front desk and tell Norma to come here.

She walks in and smiles flirtatiously "You called Mr Turner?" I shrug off her flirtatious tone "Why is there blood on my floor and where the hell is Sophia?" I ask annoyed. "She cut herself on glass or something and Kathleen and some guy took her to the hospital" She says in a bored tone and looks uninterestedly at her nails. Shit, she must've cut herself on the wine glass I dropped last night... Wait, did she just a guy? "Did you just say a guy took her? Who is he? Does he work here?" Norma sighs "I think he works in accounting, but I could be wrong, he has a forgettable face."

"Alright, Thanks Norma" well that's good I guess, he's probably a friend or something. I check my phone once again to see if there are any texts from Sophia, I see Kathleen's name again... Didn't Norma say Kathleen went with Sophia to the hospital? I open the text from her Mr Turner, I tried calling you on your cell but I guess you were busy. Ms Gibbs - your PA had an accident while cleaning your office this morning, she cut her hand badly and needed stitches. The Dr booked her off for the rest of the day and tomorrow, in case you were wondering where she went. Kind Regards Kathleen Pearson.

Shit, I should have checked her text first! It must be really bad if she was booked off for two days. I call Norma through the intercom "Norma get someone to clean this mess up and clear my schedule, I have an important meeting to attend for the rest of the day." I grab my briefcase and the folder for Drake Tazz and head to my elevator. Once I'm on the Sales floor, I make my way to Kathleen's office with the intention of asking more about Sophia, but stop when I realise she's in a meeting with Jace Meyer an important potential new client.
