Between Him and You

Chaptet 1

'Happy birthday Jazlene Doyle, 27 years old and alone'

Jazlene just sat there feeling the cool soothing morning breeze and staring out at the sunrise, thinking about her life, her life of loneliness, solitude, and just being plain empty. That was how she liked it, no complications, just her and her work, but now having another year pass her by made her realize if this was really the kind of life she wanted.

"Oh, look at the time ive been sitting here for quite some time now, better get goin dont wanna be late for work do we Mr. Sun, bye see you again tomorrow"

She got to her feet and headed for her car, she took one last glimpse at the sun and headed home.

"Mmmm, coffee, perfect" she took the coffee pot out of the machine and poured a cupful while reaching for the toast.

She lived alone, no maids, no drivers, no pets, as for family they were far from where ahe lived. Jazlene lived a simple life though her family was wellof and she had inherited quite a fortune.

As she got ready for work her phone rang.

"Jaz, dont forget about the..." The mans voice was cut off.

"Yeah, dont worry i got it, yeah its finished, ok ok see ya im on my way to work, bye." As she put her phone in her bag she grabbed a bunch of rolled up papers and threw it into her Mini..

"Doyle Designs, how may i help you" Kate the receptionist was quite busy taking calls.

"Yes Mr. Michaels, yes sir, of course sir, ok sir thank u as well, ok have a good day sir" kate put the phone down and sighed.

"Oh monday,confirmation of schedules and such.."

"I totally agree kat, everyones heads are all in work nowadays, busy busy busy" Patrick Jazlene's assistant answered as he wrote down appointments on the giant calendar they had while he continued talking whole glancing over to Kate.

"Im just glad we have the pa--" he abruptly paused as he saw his boss coming out of the office.

"Kate, has Mr. Michaels and the new client called in to confirm" jazlene fidgeted with her phone as she walked toward kate and looked at patrick.

"Oh good patrick ur here, call uncle Verne and Damon, i need the layouts by this afternoon."

"Yes madam, on it" patrick turned to his desk to carry out the order.

"Uh yes miss Doyle, mr. Michaels called in and confirmed...the new client hadnt called in yet ma'am" kate injected.

"Ok then, well of he calls in pls do tell patrick to inform ok, and can u minimize people coming in and out of my office i dont wanna be dsturbed, we got a lot of work to do"

Jazlene sat in her office amd massaged her temples. It was a busy month, lots of projects to be done, they were the beat at what they do.
