Bam went my heart ❤️

05|The meeting

A week later

I wake up, shower and start to dress. I put on a black skirt, not the one that I wore at the interview, and a white blouse. I apply a layer of mascara, pink lipstick and perfume.

I arrive in front of the imposing building and direct myself towards my office. I turn on the computer but there are no emails from Tyler so I head towards Mr. Fitzalan's office.

I knock and wait.

"Come in"
His voice is as deep as the sun at midnight. I open the door and walk in. His dark hair is furled down the nape of his neck, whilst his tuft covers his right eye. He smiles at me. The way his lips lift upwards showing all his perfect aligned teeth make my stomach twists. I smile back.

"Sir, I haven't received e-mails with the tasks I need to do..."
"Well, today you're going to attend a very important meeting. We'll be leaving in an hour, I forgot to tell you yesterday... If you don't mind my assistant, Vera, choose your dress. She will attend the meeting with us and come to New York too. "Mr. Gray might be coming today..."he says.
No...

"Hey Mr.Fitzalan, I'm ready," a nauseous and bitchy voice says walking inside the office.

She has long platinum blond hair;I know that's not her natural hair color since I can spot a  dark brown regrowth. She has eyes that look like flames, they are a mix between yellow and red. She is very pretty and skinny, unlike me. She's wearing a long red dress with high heeled shoes. I thought we were going to a meeting not to the Oscars...
"Hey, you must be Abigail. Vera" she smirks crookedly.

Vera

"Follow me, I'm gonna show you your dress" she mutters.
I follow her towards a closet and she pulls out a very short black dress.
"Here, this is your dress. I think it's going to fit you, it's large". She says as she walks away.

I walk towards the bathroom and change. The dress is so tight; it's pulling at my hips and breasts...

When I finish, I walk towards Alex's office. I enter and Mr.Fitzalan's eyes are as still as the rest of his face. Do I look so terrible? He stays frozen maybe for 10 seconds before he quits staring.
"Miss William, we are... leaving. You may follow me towards the car, which will lead us to the meeting. Mr. Gray arrived, he's already in the car waiting with Vera"

We walk towards the entrance where a long, luminous limousine is parked. A man opens the door. As I step inside, I spot Tyler sitting in the back seat. With Vera tight beside him, like there is no room in the humongous limousine. I huff.

His face is serious he doesn't look back, he only stares at his hands. His hands are really big and they also seem really smooth.

I grab a seat and Mr.Fitzalan sits beside me.

"So, this meeting is really important. We are attending this meeting to discuss about the design of the iPhone 12 " Mr. Gray says.

Finished his gaze rises slowly. There is a momentary sparkle in his eyes which reminds me of the first day we met. It was my first day of school, I was six and he was seven. From there on I literally fell in love with him. All the awesome times we spent together... until the day before graduation, when I found him cheating on me with my best friend, Melinda Cornelia, the model. From that day I went from weighing 100 pounds to 140 pounds.

A tear races down my face. I try to wipe it away before he sees it but he manages to see it. I ignore him and stare at the perfectly polished floor. I lean slightly against Alex, feeling his muscles slightly tense.

After three hours the limousine stops in front of a big modern building.

We exit the limousine and walk towards the entrance where two tall men are standing. Security guards. Mr. Gray nods towards the two men, who quickly open the door.

Inside a tall man greets us. He is an inch taller than Tyler. He has rich chocolate hair and
blue eyes. When he offers his hand I can see flecks of silver in his eyes.
"Hey pretty woman, I'm Mr. Kennedy but you can always call me Noah"
"Hi, Abigail"
I shake his hand whilst he start talking with Tyler.
"Tyler where the heck did you find this awesome girl. I would love to have her as an assistant. So lucky!"
He winks at me and then leads us inside a conference room. There's a big wooden table with approximately 30 chairs around it. I sit in a chair.

Noah

At my left there's Tyler whilst at my right there's Noah. The room starts to fill and 20 minutes later the meeting starts. I don't comprehend, a lot of what they are saying, though. The language is too technical...

After 4 long hours, the meeting is finally over. It's already 5 pm.
"Shall we go and eat?" Tyler proposes.
My stomach start to grumble as heat makes it way to my cheeks. We all nod as we head towards the parking lot where two limousines are parked. I hop inside and sit, waiting for the others to join. Mr. Kennedy rushes in the limousine and sits right next to me. His hand touches my thigh making my skin tingle. The limousine's door closes as it takes off.

"We need to wait for the others" I say with a slightly trembling voice.
"No, they are going to take the other one" he smiles.

He brings his lips next to my ear.
"We're going to have fun". I shiver...
