No Time

Chapter 12

Eventually I decided on a golden yellow high-low wrap dress that seemed to move with me as I walked. I decided to pair it with simple gold earrings and a pair of matching single strap gold heels.

After I changed I quickly put my hair into a low bun at the base of my neck, letting my shorter strands hang lose and frame my face.

For my makeup I decided to keep it simple by dabbing some light gold eyeshadow on my eyelids, and applying mascara before finishing off with a light pink lipstick.

By the time I finished getting ready for the meeting I still had some time on my hands so I decided to unpack all my things and put them into the closet, which was smaller than my closet back home, but considering the one back home had originally been a bedroom and I wasn't going to be living in Tokyo for the rest of my life the closet was a perfect size.

After all my things were unpacked I decided to leave my room and go to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.

When I reached the large kitchen that was off to the left of the living room I was greeted by the sight of a certain dirty blonde standing in the kitchen wearing a suit.

"Hey Alex!" I greeted causing him to turn around to face me.

"Oh Miss Husher, it's a pleasure to see you again," he grinned.

"Oh come now, there's no reason to call me Miss Husher, that's much to formal, please call me Clara."

"Are you sure?" he asked giving me a look of doubt.

"Of, course, there can't be that much of an age different between us, so it would be too strange to use formalities," I reasoned.

"You're twenty right?" he asked.

"Yep, older than I look, I know."

"Well we're both in the same boat, I'm twenty one and every time I go to the bar I get suspicious looks," he chuckled.

"Well I do hope that eventually you'll look old enough to get into bars without a hassle," I stated jokingly.

At this point our conversation was cut short by Jasper entering the kitchen and immediately heading for the coffee pot and pouring the rest of its contents into a large to go cup.

"Are we ready?" he asked eyeing us suspiciously.

"I don't know about Alex but I'm certainly ready," I replied.

"I'm ready too sir," Alex stated, earning a nod of approval from Jasper.

"Lets go then," he mumbled.

Once we reached the elevator I was surprised when instead of hitting the button to go to the lobby he hit the button to take us to the garage.

Once we were in the garage we immediately headed to the parking spaces reserved for the penthouse.

I would be lying if I said I didn't nearly drool at the sight of Jasper's sleek black BMW I8, I was even more excited when I discovered that was the car we were taking to the meeting.

"This car is amazing," I thought aloud as I slid into the passenger seat after Alex had gotten in the back.

"It's one of my more modest cars," he shrugged.

"When do I get to see the less modest cars?" I asked raising an eyebrow as I looked at him.

"Just wait until we visit Italy," he smirked before starting the car and leaving the parking lot behind. 

After about ten minuets of driving through the city we finally reached the office building where the meeting would be held at. Despite still being confused as to why I had to be at the meeting I didn't ask questions as Alex and I followed behind Jasper as we discussed little things like where our favorite places to eat were.
