ATTENTION:

I'm re-writing the story, almost from scratch. These chapters have not been updated. I left them here because I can see people still reading by their votes. I will republish the last chapter with the update to keep the chapters in order. Sorry for any confusion! Thank you for all your support 💚
I messaged her after she dropped me off and we have been texting ever since.
I tried to focus on my work but I didn't get much done, I was ahead of schedule before so I was not stressed out about it. But it definitely was not normal for me.
I was finishing up on the inner storage unit of the project when I heard my new ringtone that Michelle programmed on my phone "
There is a sky, illuminating us
Someone is out there, that we truly trust
There is a rainbow, for you and me
A beautiful sunrise, eternally
God is a girl, wherever you are
Do you believe it, can you" it stopped as I picked up the phone.
"Hello" I said flustered. I put the phone on speaker as I started working on my project again.
"This is Xander speaking" I said without much thought to who was calling. "Hey! how did last night go" my assistance voice said happily.

I stopped in my track, what do I say?
"Don't tell me you left?disappointed" she said disappointedly. Might as well tell her. "No I actually met a girl there, I stayed the night at her house and she drove me here this morning," I said nonchalantly as if I did it all the time. I was kind of nervous for her reaction.

"Praise the gods! Ohmigod I'll be down there shortly, after this meeting I have with Fred." She said happily.
"Oh, why are you meeting with our tax guy?" I asked confused.

"Because of how much we have donated to the lgbt centre and the local orphanage. We gave enough for a tax right off" she said cheerfully.
"Okay," I said getting lost in my work again, "keep me updated, " I said half hearted.

I got into my work finally and finished the first model. I texted Steve and said, "I'm sending over the first model, review it and give me notes."
I put it in a package that I had on my desk that I never used and put the top secret package and looked at my phone for his special packaging address. I write it down quickly and finish the packaging.
I go to my phone on the desk and call the front desk. "Hello this is Xander, I have a package ready for sending can you have someone retrieve it? I'm in my office."
"Mrs Bids," a feminine voice says surprised.
"Yes, that is me," I said turning on my computer which I haven't touched in months. After a few seconds, she responded and said that someone will be down promptly.

I hung up and looked at the box in front of me. I've been working on this for months and I've put a lot of my energy into it. I've come along way. when I just started this company I was so busy running it that I had little time to invent like I wanted.

how much have I been lacking in that? I've just been pushing all my work on Emily. Where is that assistant of mine? Before I could call her I got a call from Michelle. I looked at the screen for a good five seconds trying to tame the strange feeling in my stomach and get the courage to answer.
I finally answer and say "hell xander speaking" like I didn't know who was calling.
"Hello? Yes, this is Michelle. I just went home to pick up my lunch and I saw your stuff here. Some of this stuff looks pretty expensive to do you want to drop it off and your work? And if your up for it I can pack a few more slices of my homemade pizza and we could have dinner lunch together? Since I would already be there?"
She sounded so adorable I couldn't say no, and if her pizza was anything like the breakfast she made I was defiantly down for it.
"Yes I would love to" I said almost too enthusiastic.
"Sweet, I'll be there in fifteen minutes don't die of starvation" I hung up and leaned back in my chair.
Wait, she was going to be here expecting me to be a coder. I looked around at my whole floor of projects.
The elevator sounded and a guy walked in. He looked nervous and as soon as he sees me stops and says "I'm here for the package." He said looking at the box on my desk.
"Yes of course take it" I said pointing at it. I called the front desk and she picked up, before she said anything I said "hello this is Xander bids again, I am expecting a woman named Michelle green. When she gets here will you direct her to the 7th floor?"
I said as the guy struggled with the package. "Yes ma'am" she said happily.
I hung up and helped the guy with the package. It was a little heavy so I felt bad. I pressed the elevator button with my elbow and and walked back into the elevator. Once the door closed he said "I didn't expect you to be so nice" he said shyly. I looked up at him shocked and then he looked nervous and started to apologize.
"No no I'm glad you spoke your mind, I have been really busy on this stuff I haven't been really running my company as much as I would like." I said regrettably. "So what's your name" I said fixing my grip on the box. "My names Nick" so what's in the box. He said looking over at me.
I smiled. "Well it says top secret but I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with Steve Jobs" I said happily.
"Wow really? That's so cool". He said surprised.
I helped him get the package to the front desk then went to the elevator and pressed the elevator button to level seven. I got anxious as the number went up, I haven't seen much of the building in the past year. Oh god, how was I going to pull this off.
The elevator opened and I was not expecting what I saw. About twenty employees were sitting at computers with multiple screens. Their was a projector that took up a good portion of a wall. On it was what looked like complex cc+ coding. It was attached to a few computers on the other side of the room was an Asian guy working on the code. There was a chair next to him, so I decided to go and sit down next to him.
"I thought we coded in Java why are you working on cc+ sequence?" I asked him nonchalantly.
He jumped a little and looked over at me. I didn't realize I had snuck up on the poor guy.
"Who are you" he asked with a slight accent looking at my casual clothes. Everyone here was dressed to the T and suddenly I was very self conscious.
"I'm Xander bids, my outfit is a long story and me being here is also a long story. But you never answered my question. I've never seen such complicated coding in cc+ in my life."
He just sat in shock for a minute before shaking his head and said "of course, I'm hashish. I've been working on modifying the code a bit. Everyone else is working on our computers code. but for me and Angel are working on a code that we were going to present to you in a few weeks. Although it was probably going to be your assistant since no one knows where you've been. No offence.
