You Should Have Chosen me

Chapter 7

Hushed whispers were everywhere as soon as I entered the building. I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing. 

Here I was walking into the main office back home in LA. I couldn't even believe Anthony had talked me into this. I was wearing a black pencil skirt and a navy blue top with a blazer not forgetting my  Louboutins which were black also. If I needed confidence, the only was I was going to get it was by wearing the highest pair of heels I owned. 

As soon as the elevator doors shut, I let go of a sigh I didn't know I was holding.

Anthony was already upstairs and that was the only thing keeping me sane. I was praying so hard Logan wouldn't walk into the elevator as me. Obviously, God was busy cause when the door opened at the 3rd floor there he stood, looking like the snack he was.

He was shocked to see me of course, because I decided to come in a day earlier. Instead of standing in the center like I was, I moved to the side allowing both of them to enter. I put on a fake smile and said "Morning."

"Oh my gosh! Aren't you like Tatiana Fiori?" the female companion of his asked.

"Yes, yes I am." I shook my head. She was pretty. She dressed in the tightest clothes and her hair was pinned up in that secretary kind of way.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be out somewhere having fun?" she said.

"Not everything is about fun, as of now, I'm also your boss. Don't be late!" I said and thankfully my floor was here. I stepped out and noticed that Logan had a blank expression on his face and the girl was shocked. 

I walked right into my dad's office ignoring everyone else and when I went in, his familiar scent just surrounded me. It was like I was hugging my dad. Anthony was sitting down typing away on his mac book and looked up at me.

"Finally, the queen has arrived."

"Don't make me smack you. I just had the most awkward 3 minutes of my life." I said taking off my blazer and releasing my hair from its bun cause I was already getting a mild headache.

"Why? What happened?" he said putting away his laptop.

"Logan was in the elevator with me. With another girl. I was pretty sure they would have made out if I wasn't in it." I cringed.

"Get a grip, will you. You need to calm down and maybe forgive him one day."

"What?! Anthony may I remind you that I'm wearing 4-inch heels which I would gladly throw at you if you support that asshole again. Capiche?" I said sitting down.

"Oh darling, you are so funny. Acting like the true Italian boss your father was. Alright, all your stuff is on the table and the meeting starts in an hour. It's just right down the hall."

"Meeting?! You didn't tell me anything about a meeting. What is it about?" 

"Introduction of you to everyone important and it will be webcasted to every floor. Just don't screw up. You'll do fine and please don't kill me." 

"Just give me a second. I'll just jump off the building. How am I supposed to do that? Everyone thinks I'm a bimbo model who can't do anything." I whined putting my head down on the table.

"Tati, look at me. Look at me I said." I raised my head up to see Anthony being all serious.

"You be yourself. Show them why I love you and why the people who love you, love you. If that made sense. And if they don't like you, you have the option of firing them." he said and laughed.

"Alright, you'll be there with me right?"

"Throughout the whole thing," he said and went out to run some errands.
