Mastering the Art Form of Being Single

Chapter Seven: The Art Form of the Fancy Ass Free Wine

:::Avery's POV:::

Dinner was over and now it was time for the main event. I have no clue on what is going on, but I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy this expensive free wine. And we all know that I never turn down a free drink. The conversation at the table was dying down as Mr. Wilks went across the stage to the podium.

"Good evening everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful time. It is this time of year again where you all get you bonuses and where we recognize all the hard work that has been put into this year. But before I go on announce those accomplishments, I will like to bring my son, Trenton Wilks up to the stage."

Great now I have to listen to this douche speak. Let's hope he trips while going up the stairs. Ha that would show him.

"Thank you father, I just wanted to say that this is my first annual ball for the Wilks INC as an employee. I am honored to be working with such wonderful people. I have an exciting new business venture Wilks INC will embark on in the next year. WI will be headed by myself and a hand pick team to start up a company sector in technology advancement. WI will be heading into a new generation of advancement in technology to beat our competition. It is time to push our Corporation into a new era but still continue striving in our traditions and values we are based off of. From my great great grandfather who started Wilks Shipping and Fishing Corporation in a small English town and now Wilks Corporation has broaden from just shipping and fishing into many different business sectors to a multi-billion dollar Corporation. We now have businesses in 93 different countries and still is the world's top shipping and fishing corporation. I am honored to be a part of those line of men and I can't wait to move us into more greatness. I would like to introduce my right hand man on this new business adventure is my best friend, Keegan Peterson."

Out of the right side of the stage, there walks up to the podium a Greek god of a man. I could not take my eyes off of this beautiful specimen of a man. I thought Trenton was hot this Keegan is fucking sexy. Damn....

"Thank you Trent for that touching introduction. I am honored to do this new business venture with my best friend. I can't wait to hand pick our team and start working with you guys."

His accent is even sexier than Trenton's. What would I do to get a piece of that ass?

"Now with that announcement made, I will continue on with honoring and recognizing the hard work this year." Mr. Wilks went on.

I was too busy fantasying about that hunk of a man that I did not notice the chair next to me being pulled out. When I looked up at who was about to sit next to me, I wish I didn't. Low and behold the man that I despise is sitting now.

"Miss Avery, what a pleasure it is to see you tonight. I hope you don't mind me sitting here next to you but my seat is already being occupied by my best friend." Trenton said while sitting down with a smirk.

"I obviously can't say it is pleasure to see you Trenton but what can I do about it." I smirked back.

"Damn Mate, this is The Scarlette Avery! Your former secretary? Damn she is feisty and hot!" The person across the table shouted out. It wasn't until I looked up to the seat across from me I noticed the most beautiful grey eyes I have seen.

I tucked the stray piece hair behind my ear. "While I am honored that Trenton here talks so highly of me that his best friend would know who I am. But I am glad that I am not Trenton's secretary anymore because honestly he was a complete jackass of a boss. Isn't that right cock sucking douche bag." I said sweetly turning towards Trenton to pat his shoulder to get my point across.

"Now Miss Scarlette, there are no need to drag our pet names into this conversation." Trenton smirked back.

I just flipped him off and returned my attention to the Greek Adonis in front of me. "I am sorry if I came off rude but I am Avery Brooks-Quinn and I am one of the boss man's assistants. And this past month have been one of the best because I don't have the urge to stab someone like my last position." I finished with reaching my hand across the table.
