Who's Going To Take The L - DRAFT COPY NOT EDITED

Chapter 11 - The Meeting

Gabriel has decided to give me the rest of the week to mainly focus on getting the event ready. What he failed to mention before was that the event was at the end of the week. So now I have to push myself to pull off the most glamourous event for a woman I dislike. I'm not going to focus on it like that though, if I view her as just another client then I'm sure I should be able to complete the event and manage my feelings. I want to do this for myself. Somehow I was able to get Gabriel to at least draw up a contract, sure he added this event but I guess that's normal almost like a probation period. It was just so unfortunate that I'm highly unlucky. As I, of course, have a negative connection with the client.

The funny thing is I don't even think she knows who I am, We've never met I just know about her because of all the articles and of course my rich friend Layla. Is it fair for me to dislike someone when they may not even know who I am? Well no it's not but I can control my emotions towards her. She made me lose the only person I had left that I classed as my family and even though he certainly holds more of the blame, I still can't help but dislike her. Who knows she may be the world's nicest person or she could have just been another victim like me. I wasn't raised to be petty so I'm going to put my all into this event and make it the best thing Sienna and Gabriel have ever seen.

So there are three ways that I can get some real information on Sienna and not just from unreliable sources on the internet. First I can ask Layla to gather any information on stuff she likes and her previous events just like I did when I needed to find out if the articles were true. The second way which I would prefer not to do but seems like one of the most reliable options is to ask James. Needless to say, the second option seems messy, right? I mean going back to my ex to ask information on the girl that made us break up so I can do well to plan her event so I can continue to work for a psycho that clearly has a problem with my ex. Gosh just thinking about all of that gives me a headache. The last option and the option I want to stay far away from is to set up a meeting with the client and find out information directly from her. The reason why I don't want to meet with her before the event is because if she turns out to be a bitch then I'll just go back to square one of not liking her.

So I'm going to go with option one and two. I'll get Layla to find out as much information as possible so that way when I have to reach out to James I will only have to get the small details Layla couldn't and not have to spend much time communicating with him. It's weird because I still trust him. Yes, I know that he's a fuck boy but I've known James for what feels like forever now and in fact, if I need him then I know James would be here in a heartbeat. I mean what doesn't make sense is that if you throw a random guy at me now, I'll most likely not trust him but a guy that's clearly broken my trust multiple times will still have me able to trust him somehow. Now that I have a plan in mind it's now time to get to work. Hopefully involving James won't make this into a big mess.

"Gabriel your midday appointment has been rescheduled until tomorrow. So today you only have your eleven am, your one pm, your three pm, and your five pm appointments scheduled in. Please let me know if there is anything I need to prepare for each appointment." Yes as one would expect I still need to do all my other daily tasks. "All you need to do is print and bind all the documents for each meeting and then set up the meeting rooms." Ok sounds easy enough "Ohh and you would also need to be there for the five pm appointment as that is with Miss Sienna Bites as your planning her event don't you think it would be great if you two meet." The way the look in his grey eyes gets darker and darker makes me feel that this was planned. "OK," I responded briskly. Gabriel is definitely playing some weird game here I mean when is he not. Somehow I'm certain Gabriel has more information then he is letting on, he must have seen the articles and pieced two and two together, Sienna Bites no matter how much I hate to admit it, is a big bloody deal. So I'm sure her and James's relationship was absolutely gossip amongst the rich.

I hand Gabriel another cup of black coffee for some reason he's going through them. As I sit back down at my little makeshift desk I look up at Gabriel wondering why he's been quiet today even maybe a little bit distant. He must have hated being told what to do because he hasn't made a single sly comment. For some reason that feels kind of lonely."Miss White the way the skirt is fitted around your arse shows just how big it is, maybe you need someone to give you a good workout to get it back into shape." I swear it's almost like he can read my mind. As annoying as it is I must admit it feels good to hear. At least I know he's not to mad at me. "Gabriel I'm not sure why you can't help but look at my arse clearly it's got you fascinated. Here I thought you were meant to be the professional one." I give him a sexy little smile letting him know I can be just as quick with the comebacks.

For some reason the day chooses to go extremely fast, I have just finished setting up the meeting room for Gabriel's three o'clock appointment. "Miss White I hope you'll have something to bring to the table at this meeting. I don't expect it to be perfect but it would be good if you at least have an idea to bring forward." I give a quick nod as my reply, I have absolutely nothing. Layla did call a little earlier but all she had to say was that Sienna loves the typical glam life, you know everything over the top with a lavish color scheme. She didn't bring anything that stood out as a great idea. So I believe it's time to call James. He works for his family business and can get away with practically everything, so I doubt it would be hard to get in contact with him unless he's currently banging one of his employees.

"James, how are you?" I decide to start the conversation nice and light, I'm about to bring up the girl that broke up our relationship and that could still possibly be his new girlfriend. "Angel, I didn't expect to hear from you, did our little encounter yesterday finally made you realize how much you miss me?" This is why you don't call them back because they then start to feel like the balls back in their court, oh how wrong he is. " Miss you? Erm no. I was calling to ask you about Sienna, you know, the model your well acquainted with" might as well cut to the chase, I'm not interested in filling up his big head anymore then it already is. "Look we already had this conversation, if you're just calling to start another argument then you should have never of called. Sienna means nothing to me. Angel, give it up already" wow he sounds so desperate. "Look I need to plan an event for her, it wasn't too long ago since you were in between her legs so I thought why not ask you. Clearly, I made a mistake so I'm just going to go." I cut off the phone not planning on wasting any more time talking with James and focusing back on the task.

I look on the internet and look at the themes of some of her previous events, Layla's right she's very typical her go-to color is white, gold, and silvers. They all have the same type of vibes that scream I'm a rich model. For some reason, James thinks it's acceptable to keep texting my phone. I was able to ignore it at first but now it's highly annoying. I pick up the phone and see that James has been messaging me a bunch of ideas of what I could do for Sienna's event. Surprisingly the ideas he has are not bad, not at all. He has similar ideas to mine but that's not shocking as James and I always did gel well together.

I've made up my mind on what I want the theme to be. With James's help and his view on what he believes Sienna would like, I don't know how much I should trust them as he's not the greatest with girls. The theme I'm hoping to go with could most likely be the best idea or the worst idea. I'm hoping that the fact that she is a model means she should be used to bold exciting and colorful themes. Hopefully, this works and she can see the homage I'm trying to play towards her work. I'm brought back to wonder what type of woman she is I'm thinking of trying to get a head start and asking James but who knows what that would do to James's head. With that in mind, I quickly go back to working on my theme and start to arrange my ideas together on a document so I can have something to follow when I need to present my idea. I gather up as much confidence as I can, not wanting to make a fool in front of the woman who was once my arch-nemesis.

It's time for the meeting and I'm feeling so out of my element. I never had to do meetings in my old job except for meetings with the team, so this is something completely different, and of course, there's that extra pressure with the circumstances. Gabriel and Sienna are already in the meeting room finalizing some details for the deal. I chose to use the time to finish up sorting out what I need to, so I'll be the last one to enter. I now wish I dressed up a little bit more but there's nothing I can do about it so I suck it up and make my way over to the meeting room. Here goes I guess its time to meet Miss Sienna Bites.
