Chapter 18:
Scarlett's pov:
I knocked on Andrew's office door, and waited for his reply. "Come in", he said a minute later.
I entered the room, and walked up to his desk. He looked up at me and spoke,"Did you already arrange the meeting with your father?"
"Yes, the both of you will meet on Thursday at 12:00 p.m. in the restaurant of your choice. Oh, and here is the monthly accounting resume." I told him while handing him the file.
He grabbed the file and spoke,"Tell Max to come to my office."
"Is that all sir?"
"No I need you to arrange a meeting with Adam Jefferson."
"You do not want to arrange a meeting with his father as well?"
"No, only Adam. We need to talk about a deal we need to break off." Andrew said looking outside his window.
"But I thought your main goal with them was to create a deal."
"Not anymore, right now I am going to close all connections with them."
I nodded my head, and spoke," Is that all?"
"Yes, Angela".
I left his office and went to my office.
I sat down in my seat and called the accounting department.
"Good morning, this is the accounting department of Blackwell Industries. My name is Lisa, how may I help you?"
"Lisa, this is Angela, Mr.Blackwell's assistant."
"Oh hello Angela, how may I help you?"
"Mr.Blackwell wants to see Max right now."
"Of course Angela, right away", she replied.
"Thank you Lisa", with that said I hung up.
ºººººººººººººººººººººººººººº
I just finished making the appointment with Adam Jefferson, when Andrew called me.
"Angela come to my office." After saying that, he hung up.
I got up from my seat and walked towards his office.
I knocked on his door, and he replied with the usual "come in".
I entered his office without noticing that Max was already there.
"Yes, Mr. Blackwell?" I asked. Both of their attention coming to me.
"Did you already arrange the meeting with Jefferson?" Andrew asked.
"Yes, sir" I replied.
"What are the meetings that I have today?"
"You only have one meeting today at 1 in the afternoon".
"With whom?"
"With your father discussing the expansion of the company."
"Alright, what time is it?"
"11:20 a.m"
He closed the file he had in his hands and gave it to Max.
"Make sure the mistake does not happen again Maximilian. You know any small mistake in the numbers can cost me a lot of money."
"Yes sir, excuse me."
Andrew nodded and Max left.
"You know Angela, I already know what my father wants to talk to me about. Probably about how my brother, Justin, is doing such a great expanding the company in the Western Hemisphere and how he is just going to compare me to him."
He said looking down.
"Andrew, each and every one of us are all extremely different. Each person has their own good and bad qualities, and you right now are just thinking about your bad qualities, there is a piece of good in everyone." I said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You don't understand Angela, the comparison has been going on since I was a child. Since he is the older child he has more responsibilities and everything, yet I am the youngest of the two so I do not know much. We were both born into this business and expected to continue it, but I think it is best if I just leave the business. I could go with my sister Sofia, and help her with the caring of the animals at the ranch." Andrew said in a sad tone while looking down.
I walked closer to him and said, " You should not be talking like that of anyone especially yourself. Giving up is never an answer especially when you have worked all your life for something. When that moment comes you just need to find the fun in working in this business of architecture. Better yet, find your motivation, it can be your employees, your family, etc.." I said.
"Even a girl can be my only motivation to stay in this company." Andrew said, while looking at me with a soft glance.
A girl?! I hope that soft glance I'm seeing is just in my imagination. I cleared my throat and began walking back to the front of the desk.
"Anyway, I wish that your relationship with your father betters and that the meeting goes well."

Andrew POV:
"Anyway, I wish that your relationship with your father betters and that the meeting goes well." Angela said.
The heck!!!!!!! I'm trying to give her small signals, and she's just ignoring them like little flies. I'm going to make her fall for me. Of that I am sure!!!
Angela was about to leave my office, when I stopped her by calling her name.
"Angela", I started "I....I.....I...thank you for hearing me." I said walking towards her.
"Your welcome" she said with a soft smile as she turned around to leave. I quickly got her hand, and kissed it.
I think I have just fallen in love, with this beautiful girl right in front of me.
She looked at me shocked, and when she got out of her trance she quickly got her hand away from my grasp.
"Mr. Blackwell what was that for?" She said with a confused glance.
"Take it as my way of saying thank you." I said smiling at her.
She cleared her throat, and left my office.
Oh good thing that I'm going to break that deal with Jefferson, because that could have ruined all of my chances with Angela. And the best part is that she will never find out about it.
