Hollywood Roosevelt

Chapter Seven

Lawrence Griffin walked into the Roosevelt confident as ever. With his Assistant Jermaine on his side they Went up the front desk, checking in.

"Even though I do not at all agree with your plan, I must give it too you. You are pretty brave to even come him here, let alone check out a suite." Jermaine said

I chuckled.

"Of course I am. I'm king.. remember." I said, taking the key card from the lady

I heard him give a loud, irritated sigh.

"Ya' know, it's quite childish to act of such way. As if you're a child.." I said walking to the elevator

"Whatever." he mumbled

I rolled my eyes becoming a bit annoyed with his attitude. we made it to our suite and I took a final look at my files and other things for the meeting. yes. it was moved to Wednesday instead of Thursday. For I commanded it.

"Are you ready for this?"Jermaine said.

"Me? more than ever."

As I sat in my office on the conference floor looking out the window, awaiting the meeting.

Steve caught my attention. He walked

into my office.

"Mrs.Santiago.... He's ready"

I raised an eyebrow and arose from my chair. I opened a black box and slipped on my gold bracelet. The family bracelet.

I Walked out the door and down the hall to the conference room. Once I walked in I seen two men.

One, Fairly tall with black hair slit back in gel and wearing a tuxedo.

Other, kind of short and had a small mustache wearing black slacks and a white shirt.

"Good morning" I said bluntly as I went down to my end of the table and Steve followed me and sat beside me.

"Hello .. I am Lawrence Griffin. King. Emperor Of Egypt." he smiled in a cocky way .

"Uhuh." I said with no interest.

"I came here to LA looking for success. And once I came across the Roosevelt. I knew this was it." he said

"Oh ... thats nice. but this place isn't for sale." I said sternly

"I'm willing to pay any price.." Lawrence said

"No. thank you, but I'm not selling" I said

He look like he was growing a tad angry.

"Look.. I need this business and I will get this place one way . or another" he said with a grim look on his face

"Believe that if you want.."I smirked

"I always get what I want...and I always win..." he said sternly

"I always taught my kids to let the imagination go wild.. right steve" I smiled

He nodded.

"You think this is some type of joke?" he said

"To me? yes.. it's hilarious! you really think just because your king of "Wonderland" -" I said

"Egypt!!!" he cut me off looking livid.

"I don't give a flying fuck!!" I yelled as I stood up

"You think because your king in "Egypt" which clearly, is not in the states you think you can come in here trying to tell me to sell to you? Hell no!"
