Beauty Divine

Chapter (4):

Madeline was on her way home, she took a cab home and leaned her face against the window, thinking about her day and the things Emily told her about The Clermont family and Monique Vernon's aggressiveness and finally Wren's gorgeous smile. It wasn't a professional one or fake one, it was a real smile that showed gratitude.

"Miss?" She didn't hear the driver. "Miss? We are here"

"Oh! Sorry, here you go" She handed him the money. "Keep the change"

She stepped out, walked the stairs to her apartment and didn't find Eva and her house clean and not messy like she expected. She headed to the bathroom, taking a warm shower and after finishing she plopped down on the bed realizing she was so tired, so she gave up to sleep.

A phone call woke her up the next day, she tried to open her eyes and find the phone, she turned her body to grab it from the nightstand but it stopped ringing. She grabbed it and saw five missed calls from Emily and it was 9:00 AM.

"Crap!!"

............................................................

Wren was at her office doing the phone calls herself with the help of Emily, it was hard without her secretary who organized everything for her. She looked at Emily who was still dialing Madeline.

"Did she pick up the phone?"

"No"

She sighed heavily. "Go to the meeting room and get everything ready. Now!"

She rushed without a word.

"Where the hell are you?" asked Wren, running a hand through her hair.

........................................................

"Could you please hurry? I'm late"

"I'm trying, Miss" said the cab driver in frustration.

She starting dialing Emily. "Hey Emily, I know I'm late"

"You are very late; she is gonna kill you. Today is the meeting with Mrs. Cusack"

"I'm on my way, just tell her that"

"You better be" She hung up.

..........................................................

Wren was pacing her office, waiting for Madeline's arrival as Emily told her, the meeting room was ready but the only thing that was missing were the papers with Madeline. The door knocked and she looked at it quickly and came Madeline.

"You're late" she said a little bit angry.

"Yeah sorry about that please let me explain..."

"No time. Just make a copy of these and put them in the meeting room. Now!"

As she went out, Wren took a deep breath to relax, finally the day has been saved, she knew she shouldn't depend on anyone but when she read Madeline's CV, she knew she would be great for the job, with her skills, that's why she won't fire her, she decided to give her a chance. The door knocked and entered Emily informing her that Mrs. Cusack has arrived, she wore her fancy blazer, adjusted her clothes and stepped out of the office.

She forced a smile. "Mrs. Cusack, it's a pleasure to finally meet you"

"It's my pleasure to finally see the face of Wren Clermont after a long time" She smiled sweetly shaking hands with her.

Mrs. Cusack was an adult woman at the age of fifty, she knew the Clermont family for so long but never done business with them except for now. She only saw Wren when she was a little girl and she didn't expect that Wren would be a successful woman one day and here she is, looking forward to work with her on their new product.
