chapter 2

Asher's point of view

"It's my pleasure, have a great day."

I walk out of the little cupcake shop, cupcakes in hand and hop into the car door that is being Held open for me. I pull out my phone and make a call.

"I need you to get a full report on someone names Stella who works at Eliza's cupcake shop off liberty avenue. Once your done get me the report. I need it on my desk in an hour any later and your pay will be cut." I say hanging up before the person on the other part of the line can respond.

When Hudson my driver finally pulls up to my building I hop out and make my way to the conference room. I walk in and everyone is already there.

"Thank you all for your patience sorry for my tardiness I went out to get something and am running a bit behind schedule today." I say as I take a seat at the head of the table.

"Where are we as far as the funds for today?" I ask.

"This week has been a great week and we are currently at $34 million." One of my employees states.

"Okay where are we targeted for the next month?" I ask

"we are targeted to reach about a billion dollars by the end of the month." She replies.

"Great where are we on finding more people to get working here?" I ask.

"Well sir with the great increase in absences has mad certain aspect of the company difficult to run so we are doing our best to get all positions filled." Another person says.

"Okay anything else you guys wanted to talk about?" I ask.

"No sir." Everyone says.

"You are all dismissed." I say. They all stand up and walk out. I go to my office and sit down behind my desk.

"You need to relax a little more when you are in meetings dude. You can't be so tense it scares the employees." Weston my best friend of 15 years says.

"Yeah I know, I just have a lot on my mind." I say.

"I get it the company is dragging you down maybe we should go out tonight you know do something and get your mind off of things?" He questions.

"I'm not feeling it tonight man. Plus I have lots to deal with tonight and I have a ton of file reading to do." I say only telling him half the truth.

"Before he responds Avery my receptionist buzzes me in.

"Someone is out here saying they need to hand you a file is that okay?" She asks.

"Send them in." I say.

"What file are you waiting for?" Weston asks.

"It is more of a personal file." I say.

"Personal?" He asks raising an eyebrow.

"Yes personal, when I went to get the cupcakes earlier at Eliza's cupcake shop there was a girl working there and something intrigued me about her. I can't put my finger on it but she was different and I want to find out why." I say.

He gives me a quick ah right as the person walks in with my file.

"You were early today." I say.

"Yeah there wasn't too much I could get on her most of it seemed to be missing but I do have her current status on things. She seems nice but like I said I could only find a few years worth of things." He says.

"Okay thank you." I reply.

"Of course have a grate day." The person says before walking out.

I open the file and look inside Stella rose is 23 her height being 5 feet 4 inches, her hair is brown and her eye color blue. She is currently living on 54932 Emerald avenue Ny, NY 23685. She has some debt but noting too catastrophic.  The last time she payed for anything was a week ago. She pays for her rent and utilities on time and she has no car registered to her. Overall she has no arrests and or charges filed against her for any reason. She seems to just be a regular girl  trying to make it through her life living from paycheck to paycheck.
