Finding An Anchor

JENPOV
It's my first day back at the office after my most recent episode with my health; yep that's right I'm diabetic. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the age of eight after I went on a school trip and forget to eat I ended up in the hospital.

I've tried to be as careful as possible with my health ever since. I have been working really hard lately.
My boyfriend Tom and I of a year had broken up and I just dove right into work to get away from my feelings.

Today is a very big day for my firm; McConnell's law, business solutions where I am the managing partner.
I'm having a very important meeting with a potential client about a merger that can possibly put my business on top.
I'm really not feeling like I'm at my best today but I need to bring my A game to close the deal. A knock came at my office door before my assistant popped her head inside.

"Jen Mr.Williams just called to inform you that he'll be a few minutes late."

"Thank you Clare, Is the conference room set?"

"Yes mam" she answered before leaving after I acknowledge her with a nod. I slowly push my chair back, removed my glasses then put my feet back in my size seven, Nine West nude wedge heels.
I have a bad habit of always taking off my shoes to get comfortable. I'm wearing a black knee length pencil skirt and a long sleeve silk bottom down nude shirt.
I grabbed my folder containing the proper files and my phone before heading to the door. Clare was standing outside my door in front her small but spacious cubicle with some files in her hands while waiting for me.

"Let's knock 'em dead boss" Clare said with a big smile.
I smile right back at my assistant while we both made our way to the conference room.
Clare has been working for me for a little over 3 years now when I had first started this firm and she has had my back ever since. Even though I can be a tough nut sometimes I'm grateful to have her.
I was brought back to the real world when I came insight with the conference room.
I opened the door to find my accounting manager; Terence Winter there waiting. He stood up as I entered the room to acknowledge my presence.

"Good morning Ms. McConnell it's good to see that you are back to your usual self."

"Thanks Terence you seem chirpy this morning, I'll take it that you and Martha are back together." He's usually a grumpy sucker.
He smiled widely at my outburst while I took my seat at the head of the table.

The doors to the conference room burst open when three very attractive looking men came in but the one that stood out the most was the one that came in last his head was duct down into his phone but his body language screamed power and success mix with a little arrogance.
He wore a black three-piece Armani suite with well-polished gents and the way his muscle flex while he moves his arms were incredible.

He caught me steering so I adverted my eyes immediately.
But I was wondering where is Mr. Williams I did my research he is an older man in his early sixties who found Williams inc when he was just 25 years old.
Ten years later he became number one and after 27 years he has kept it at the top, I admire his success.

Who are these fools who came to show off arrogance?

"Ehhm"
I cleared my throat.
"I think you BOYS" that's right l said 'BOYS'. I mentallysmilede at the way he cringes hearing me say that. I think you might have the wrong room there is gonna be a meeting here for Williams inc and McConnell's International so I." I was cut off by Mr. Ass-face. "Slow your ropes sweetheart I'm Alex Williams CEO of Williams Inc here at your service."

"Excuse me but where is Mr. Henry Williams he is the one I was to meet with about this merger not you, He personally called me."

"Sorry to disappoint you sweetheart but I'm the CEO I cut the deals."
