Jen's pov:
"How long?"
"What?" I asked, confused. Opting for a moving chair to sit on, I moved away from him, to the head of the table.
Where I belong.
"I don't like repeating myself Cassidy" That went like an electric shock through my body.
He is calling me Cassidy? I glanced at his ridiculously handsome face that held a bitter look for some reason. Strange! He looked normal this morning.
"A few hours max" I replied carefully checking his expressions.
"Fine! I will be out in the lobby" Then he tossed a gun towards me. I caught it with a startled look. An amused look crossed on his face.
"Keep it for the meeting. I have an extra. Just pull the trigger" He advised and turned to walk out.
"Wait! What if I shoot someone, I am not supposed to shoot at?"
"Not my problem then. You are the one who suggested we come to this meeting"
"Ugh!" I cried out.
Then cautiously, I stuffed the gun in my hand purse. I had almost closed the chain when someone knocked and walked inside the door.
I whelped in shock.
The person whelped as well. My gaze locked in the black eyes of a redhead small girl who cowered in the corner of the room. A couple of files clutched in her hands. She straightened up, awkwardly smoothening her skirt with a frown. Readjusting the specks on her freckled nose, she gave me a small smile.
"Good morning!" Suzy greeted.
"Morning" I greeted her back dully.
My hand is busy closing the chain meanwhile. I sat on my head chair, squaring my shoulders.
"What's the report?" I asked her in a business-only tone. She soon went in her secretary mode and came near with a rush.
"The samples are ready. They are of good quality. They weren't lying about the fabric, it is indeed very comfortable. Alissa has charmed the model of the rival company. Seems like they won't fight over the shoot anymore" Suzy explained at full speed, without taking a breath in mid.
I nodded my head in approval. Alissa is charming alright. I thought remembering the way she hugged the 'I-hate-female-touch-Captain'. And the way Ralph's eyes had roamed over her perfect body. And she has a woman's body. Not a midget like mine.
I sighed pushing those thoughts of bitterness and insecurity out of my mind. My gaze traveled up to the wall clock near me and then back to Suzy who was waiting for my orders.
