Empire

Chapter 5

Jauregui Enterprise

Lauren brushed her fingers across her tired brow as she looked on at the devastatingly harsh figures that had circulated back from the most recent finance turn around, the company was very much in a place of comfort and stability but that didn't stop the reams of problems Lauren faced daily as contracts fell and dropped left right and centre

"I need this fixed Lauren, I'm taking this to the board tonight!"

Lauren's eyes flew up to her fathers gaze annoyed by the tone he took in his voice

"You're in no position to be making demands, you did this! If you focused less on your social life and a little more on the company that you're destroying then maybe I wouldn't have to sit here begging contacts for instalments!"

"Don't try and act smart with me Lauren! It's your JOB to make sure this doesn't slip sideways so why don't you shut your mouth and get on with it!"

Lauren stood from her chair grabbing the paperwork in front of her and walked face to face with her father slamming the file into his suited chest

"Don't you fucking dare talk to me like that! Mom may have rolled over and took it but I won't!"

A strong hand quickly reached forward and grabbed tightly onto Lauren's wrist causing her to wince slightly in pain, her face screwed up as she tried to drag herself away

"Watch your mouth! I'm still your father!"

"Fucking act like it then!"

She snapped aggressively as she snatched her wrist back watching him walk fiercely from the room, her toned body walked back over to sit in her chair huffing in frustration as she logged onto the computer upon her desk

Regardless of the shit piled up ready for Lauren to tackle her mind couldn't release itself from the events of the night before, she couldn't get Camila out her head, the feeling of her plump lips against hers, her soft fingers drifting around her body ... her smell

Just as her mind began to run away she noticed the girl in the distance walking towards the heavy glass doors attached to her office, she had her hair down.. just how she liked it and her skirt still just as short as it always seemed to be

"Miss jauregui"

Camila spoke smirking as she walked into the warm room, Lauren let a small smile attach itself to her mouth as she sat back in her chair

"Cabello, how are you?"

The girl winked suggestively before saying 'perfect' as she placed a rather large file in front of Lauren, she flicked through and examined a few of the pages before shutting it and placing it to the side

"You wanna go teach that asshole down the hall how to actually give me something that's decent?"

Lauren giggled as she praised the girl subtly

"Whatever you ask me to do I'll do it, I am your assistant after all"

Lauren took that statement in a completely different manner than the younger had intended, her mind ran crazy with thought as she simply smiled back
