Ana's POV
Knock knock knock
"I have your schedule Ms.Steele" says my assistant Selena.
I look up from my desk to see her waiting at the door of my office and motion her forward with my finger. She gets the signal and starts reciting my busy schedule.... "your 4 o clock today is running late by 5 minutes and the Darfur case has been reopened and is going to go to court in 2 days where your representing the client personally , today evening you have the coping together gala which u RSVP'd to already and can't miss... you also have to fly out to Washington this month for Ivanka Trumps party and you have Ms. Gigi's birthday party this weekend as well, you have back to back appointments tomorrow with the firm staff as well as new prospective clients while also having an interview the day after..." and then I just zoned out and thought about how to get some time for myself anytime soon to relax.
"Ms.Steele , Ms. Steele" Selena snapped me out of my thinking.
"I'm sorry Selena, I'm just trying to find some time to relax as my schedule has been full for the past couple months and since I've moved to Seattle, I've not explored at all"
Selena looks a little scared that I'll ask her to free my schedule after already filtering through the thousands of requests of my time and arranging schedules for a long time...
"I get it Ms.Steele but there's no way to clear anything in the near future tho I can get u some time off at the end of the month, possibly for a week or two" that made me smile a little
"That would be greatly appreciated Selena and please send a message to my grandfather that I'll be calling him soon"
My grandparents, the great Robert Steele and Cecilia Steele, are basically the royalty of New York tho they raised me after my parents tragic passing since I was young and like to worry a lot about me especially since I moved to Seattle from New York to set up and expand my law firm here and I've received couple messages from them already to which I haven't got a chance to reply to yet.
"Your 4 o clock is here ms.Steele"
"Please bring him in" my voice echos through my vast spacious office at the top of my law firm.

(Time skip to after the meeting)

"Back to the penthouse Ms. Steele ?" Dimitri asks as he opens my car door for me. He's my CPO, kind of like a shadow. He goes wherever I go, both my maternal and paternal grandparents stress the importance of having a diligent security team 24/7 even though it gets annoying really fast i know how to pick my battles and this wasn't one of them.
"Please" I reply and get into the back seat of the Bentley SUV. I have my own fleet of these tho I would like to look up more options at a later date as these r pretty temporary as I'm only staying in Seattle for 6 months.
Dimitri gets into the driver seat and pulls into the traffic,
The car ride is silent giving me a chance to think over my outfit for tonight's gala. I was only going as a favour to Carrick Grey as I worked with him well before and it was a cause close to his heart I heard and I was looking forward to seeing Elliot after a long time.
A Grey Lace Oscar De La Renta gown and huge diamond jewellery was my outfit tonight.
Dimitri get out of the car and opens the door for me at the basement of the HighHills Apartments. This was the only available place to please Dimitris obsessive security measures and enough room to fit the entire security team of 12 Russian burly men. I know it was overkill but over time I realised it was needed to keep away threats and unwanted attention like the paparazzi.
" the security for tonight is all set ma'am, we're having 4 officers undercover and 4 officers with you while I personally guard you and we've cleared it with the Greys as well" I heard Dimitris Russian English accent out. Ahhh that was Dimitri, always on top of everything and professional even though he's been guarding me for 8 years now.
"Thank you Dimitri, just follow the regular formation for tonight and keep close" I sang and left to my closet to get ready.
I just touched up my makeup lightly and got dressed pretty quickly and left my brown hair pin straight down my back... I added some diamond jewellery and some red lipgloss and looked at the mirror.
Dayumnnn the dress is super sexy if I said so myself
The dress was backless and had a slit up my right side and was basically my style anyways. I added a pair of louboutin's, my guilty pleasure of all time and went down to the basement to head out.
The securities quick look of appreciation didn't go unnoticed and then i settled back into the backseat of the Bentley, ready for this night to be over already. It was not that I didn't enjoy a good party, despite everything I was a total party girl and that was my scene entirely but recently I've just been to busy with the firm and my other business's...
As I reached the grey household in Bellevue, I could see the paparazzi waiting on both sides and my resting bitch face was back on and I was ready for them like I've been since I was a baby.
Dimitri opened my door and helped me out as my 9 CPO's formed a dome shape around me to escort me inside. I could hear the paparazzi screaming as always "Anastasia look here" "Anastasia are you dating Jasper Ellington" "Ms.Steele are you losing the Darfur case?" "Princess are you going back to New York soon" "Anastasia are you going to release a new album soon?"and so on they went into I traced the tent and walked inside, everything turned to see what the commotion was about as my security team went to their places and looked at me. I was used to the attention anyways and knew how to handle it. I held my head high and went in the direction towards Carrick Grey who was smiling and walking towards me.
