Cascading Empire

Chapter 6

Saphire walked in, the door sliding open as staff began to look at her, gazing at how beautiful she was. Her long hair was curled while she looked through his bag, smiling and humming to herself.
She walked through the long hall before reaching the elevator, entering while someone shouted for her to keep the door open. Not forgetting etiquette, she smiled and did so.
"Thank you so much.." she gasped and Saphire smiled, "You're welcome."
Silence then erupted as Saphire continued to hum to herself. After some quiet, the shy girl finally bursted out what was on her mind, "By the way.. u-uh you're really pretty."
Saphire didn't feel any genuine happiness but she still smiled, "Thank you, I think that you're really cute," she said and the lady immediately blushed, "T-Thank you!"
Saphire let out a chuckle before going back to her phone, texting May.

From Saphire: I think I may have turned someone lesbian for me

From May: When do you not lmao

Saphire let out a chuckle and put her phone away when she heard the familiar ding of the elevator.
The lady stepped off, rushing out and Saphire then clicked her number.
Story 9.

Saphire stepped off when the elevator door once again dinged and opened. She walked inside and saw a bunch of empty tables.
'I guess everyone is on break,' she thought and "hmph-ed". She continued to walk until she saw a dark wooden door and opened it, seeing no one inside.
She smirked. "Cowards."

"They want us to meet personally again?" The young boss of RedBeat said. He was a tall young man, in his mid-20's and his older brother is the company owner of BlueStone. His hair was a bit wavy, with a split in the middle giving him a younger immature look.
"Eric, you can't avoid them everytime," Callex said. Eric pouted as he began talking again, walking through the long halls to get to their personal conversation room.
"Hypocrite. You still refuse to meet May even after all this time? I remember you-"
"Shut up before I beat you up."
"I don't remember you ever taking action after you talk. All bark, no bite."
"Privileged fucker," Callex said with minimum hostility as Eric laughed. "I could say the same with you being the older one, Cale."
Callex rolled his eyes because it was true. Although he was older and much stronger he didn't dare fight his younger brother. That didn't mean that Eric was weak however. Callex was pale and often called cold, but he was handsome and rich and successful.
"You can't avoid them forever ei-"
"Avoid who? Us?"
Eric opened the door and his draw dropped open. There sat a girl with her legs crossed on top of the table, in a tight pink body dress with translucent lantern sleeves with black high heels tied up to her calves. She wore a gem embedded circular necklace and metal tassel drop earrings, hanging down almost to her shoulders. A scorpion ring was embedded onto her ring finger, given her horoscope sign.
Saphire was flipping through their pages of work they had done and planned with Sol Ace and HellHype.
"You've done all this paperwork but you have not come meet us personally, Saphire said before placing down the paper, "And it is stated and bolded on the paper that the one asking for uniting is to meet personally."
"Personally," Saphire repeated before looking up and smirking at the one who was dumbfounded in the front. He looked attracted almost.
Good, then the teasing was going
Callex moves forward, him not looking the least phased. "What're you doing here, Miss Saphire?"
"Oh so you know me?" Saphire asked with feigned innocence, "Since you have already gotten information on us, I'm sure that you already knew that if you didn't come meet us, we would come meet you."
"Yes, we know. But due to some personal problems we-"
"Don't make excuses, we didn't ask for them," she said coldly to Eric, who had stepped up to speak. To be honest, Saphire could not for sure beat them in physical strength, but she didn't come unprepared.
She stood up from the swivel chair, "Well.." she started before walking, keeping her eyes on Eric as Eric blushed a little. She smirked, "This was a fair warning. I came to tell you personally, so please don't disrespect our mutual decision of joining business."
Saphire walked past and bit her lip beside Eric before walking away, closing the door behind her.
Eric let out a breathe he was holding as Callex looked at with not much interest, "Fell in love at first sight?"
Eric laughed before responding, "No. But I do admit, she's beautiful," he grinned to the door as if he was captivated by her expensive perfume left as she walked away.
Callex still had his cold face on, never leaving, "Make sure to know fully who you deal with."
"Do you?"
"I do."
"Mm. Okay."

May sat on the couch, groaning her life away as she whined. "I'm so old-" she started and wailed, "I've never felt so old for a 24 year old.."
Saphire has a blank face on but let out a forced laugh, "I felt that."
"You're so much younger, shush."
"I'm 24, too.." She complained May pursed her lips.
"Did you do it today?" May asked and Saphire smirked, putting her phone away and leaning back. She had forced May into a pretty revealing outfit and she was pretty happy with her outfit choice.
"Made then regret ignoring us," Saphire said and May rolled her eyes. "I don't want to meet those two today. Not in this outfit."
May was in a black lace crop top and a long split dress, paired with dragon earrings and a dragon ring wrapped around her index finger to her ring finger. Her hair was wrapped to the side and she had the most annoyed face today. She looked similar to what people would describe her as, "an old, mean, and cold lady" except she was not old. Not that old at least.
"I miss my hoodie," May said, sighing as she fixed her dress, crossing her legs and grimacing. "I can't even open my legs while I sit," she said. She was used to sitting with authority and like a man.
As she was complaining, she heard Sapphire chuckle a little before lifting her eyes, being met with two men sitting in front of her and a Saphire. Saphire was still in her usual pink outfit, and put on her professional face immediately.
The reason why they always met at the bar instead of the club was because of how loud and epic the club was. If anyone was to go there, they would just dance excluding May because she hated attracting attention, therefore she covered her identity and no one knows other than the other VIP guests.
While they talked here and dealt business here, Saphire's bodyguards watched the club and somehow it was never bombed. Surprisingly.
May felt a little anger rise up as she leaned back, smirking a haughty smirk, "So," she laced her fingers together, "What's with the unprofessional first meetings?"
